As part of our new MetaMask Release Quality Process, here’s a quick overview of the key processes, testing strategies, and milestones to ensure a smooth and high-quality deployment.

📋 Key Processes

Testing Strategy

• Developer Teams:
  Conduct regression and exploratory testing for your functional areas, including automated and manual tests for critical workflows.

  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
