A QA pass systematically tests a web app by executing automated checks and manual validation. It generates a structured bug report containing a health score, screenshots, and reproducible steps to document findings without applying fixes.

A web app health score quantifies application stability during QA testing, while visual regression capture screenshots the target application to identify UI defects. These metrics are compiled into a structured report to surface critical issues before staging.

Automated checks support release verification across development, staging, and production environments. They validate the target web app to surface critical issues, capturing screenshots and health scores to ensure consistent quality before deployment.

This QA testing approach enforces a strict no-fix policy and does not apply code fixes or modify the web app. It strictly documents findings, visual evidence, and reproducible steps in a standard format to keep fixes out of scope.

The best way to surface critical issues before staging is to run a quick QA pass on the new build. This executes targeted automated checks and manual validation to capture health scores and generate structured bug reports for developers.
