📋 Key Processes

Testing Strategy

• Developer Teams:
  Conduct regression and exploratory testing for your functional areas, including automated and manual tests for critical workflows.
• QA Team:
  Focus on exploratory testing across the wallet, prioritize high-impact areas, and triage any Sentry errors found during testing.
• Customer Success Team:
  Validate new functionalities and provide feedback to support release monitoring.

GitHub Signoff

• Each team must sign off on the Release Candidate (RC) via GitHub by the end of the validation timeline (Tuesday EOD PT).
• Ensure all tests outlined in the Testing Plan are executed, and any identified issues are addressed.
