QA & Pre-Launch Checklist

Q: Do people still review anything before launch?

Yes, content and any flagged issues still get a human look before the build is approved to go live.

Q: Will this work with the testing and ticketing tools we already use?

It is built to connect with common testing, ticketing, and messaging tools rather than replace them.

Q: What happens when a test genuinely fails?

A failed check becomes a ticket routed to the developer responsible for that part of the build.

Q: Is this only useful for large agencies with big launch volumes?

No, agencies of any size running regular client launches benefit from a consistent, repeatable QA pass.

Running a consistent quality check before anything goes live to a client audience.

About This Automation

A pre-launch checklist confirms a website or app build works across browsers, devices, forms, links, and tracking before it goes live. Running every check by hand is slow and repetitive, and issues that slip through become visible only after launch.

An automated version runs the full test sweep on its own, files any failures as tracked tickets, and confirms launch readiness once fixes are verified. The result is a faster, more consistent go-live decision with fewer missed issues.

Key features:

Runs cross-browser and cross-device checks without manual clicking

Tests forms, buttons, and links automatically across the build

Confirms tracking tags and analytics events fire correctly

Files failed checks as tickets and routes them to the right developer

Flags copy issues for human review instead of guessing at tone

Confirms launch readiness once every ticket is resolved

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Checklist Createdtrigger

Automation starts the moment a project manager marks a build Ready For QA.

2. Run Cross-Browser Tests

Runs the build across the standard browser and device matrix automatically.

3. AI Test Analysis

The Automated Test Runner checks responsive breakpoints, tests forms and CTAs, and scans for broken links and copy issues.

4. Verify Analytics Tracking

Is queried to confirm tracking tags and events are firing on the live build.

5. Log Failed Tests As Bugs

Any failed check is written automatically with screenshots and reproduction steps.

6. Triage And Assign Bugs

The Bug Triage prioritizes each ticket and assigns it to the correct developer based on the component affected.

7. Send Launch Readiness Update

Receives a summary showing the build is ready to launch, or listing exactly which bugs are still blocking it.
