Safe-release techniques DURING rollout: feature flags, progressive rollouts, canary analysis, guardrail metrics, production smoke tests, and synthetic users. Bridges QA and SRE practices. Use when: "feature flag testing," "canary deploy," "progressive rollout," "guardrail metrics," "dark launch," "safe rollout." Not for: scheduled probes that run continuously after release — use `synthetic-monitoring`. Not for: designing tests from prod telemetry — use `observability-driven-testing`. Related: release-readiness, synthetic-monitoring, observability-driven-testing, qa-metrics.
Validate release readiness with evidence-based go/no-go decisions. Covers go/no-go checklists, smoke test suite design, staged rollout validation, rollback criteria and procedures, and post-deployment verification. Ensures release confidence comes from data, not feelings. Use when: "release ready," "go/no-go," "smoke test," "release checklist," "rollback plan," "staged rollout," "canary deploy." Not for: safe-release techniques (flags, canary, dark launch) applied during the rollout itself — use testing-in-production; scheduled probes that run continuously after release — use synthetic-monitoring; designing new tests from prod telemetry — use observability-driven-testing. Related: testing-in-production, qa-metrics, ci-cd-integration, ai-system-testing.
Scheduled probes that run CONTINUOUSLY after release. Covers probe design for critical user journeys, alerting integration, SLA validation, multi-region monitoring, and the boundary between QA and SRE. Use when: "synthetic monitoring," "uptime testing," "scheduled probes," "SLA validation," "availability monitoring," "post-deploy checks." Not for: safe-release techniques during rollout — use testing-in-production. Not for: designing tests from prod telemetry — use observability-driven-testing. Not for: a one-shot post-deploy smoke gate tied to a release — use release-readiness. Related: testing-in-production, release-readiness, performance-testing, qa-metrics.
