Verify a Build

Build a ProductVerify a Build

Description

It is important to maintain the quality of the application as each build is created and accepted. Run verification tests to make sure the basic build functionality is intact. Verification tests are also run to make sure functionality changed as part of bug fixing or that new feature implementation works correctly.

Steps

  1. Verify Basic Functionality:
    Run a minimal subset of validation tests, such as build verification tests, also known as smoke tests, to determine if the basic functionality of the build is stable.

  2. Verify Changed Functionality:
    Run additional validation tests to make sure all changesets expected in the build were added and work properly.

  3. Notify Team of Build Acceptance:
    If the build passes all required validation tests, inform the users and release organization that the build is accepted.

    If the build does not pass, inform the development team of the problem(s) and log them in the bug tracking system.
