Pre-Release QA: Catch Issues Before Deployment
Automatically test staging environments, detect regressions, and ensure quality before deploying to production.
The Problem
Manual QA testing is time-consuming and can miss issues, especially on large websites with many pages. A CSS change might break layouts on pages you didn't manually test. A broken link might slip through. A JavaScript error might only appear on specific pages or interactions.
Pre-release testing often focuses on new features, missing regressions in existing functionality. By the time issues are discovered in production, they've already impacted users and require hotfixes.
How Torch Mouse Helps
- Automated Staging Scans: Run comprehensive health checks on staging environments before every release, catching issues that manual QA misses.
- Regression Detection: Compare staging scans with production baselines to detect new issues introduced by recent changes.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Test all pages, not just the ones you manually check, ensuring nothing slips through.
- Fast Feedback: Get detailed reports quickly, allowing teams to fix issues before deployment deadlines.
Example Scenarios
CSS Regression Detection
Catch layout issues introduced by CSS changes. A style update might break pages you didn't manually test, or a media query change might break responsive layouts.
Broken Link Prevention
Detect broken links before they reach production. A refactor might break internal links, or a page deletion might leave orphaned links throughout your site.
JavaScript Error Detection
Find JavaScript errors before deployment. A code change might introduce exceptions that only appear on specific pages or interactions that manual QA doesn't cover.
Performance Regression Testing
Monitor performance metrics before releases. A new feature or dependency might slow down pages, but performance issues are hard to catch in manual testing.
