A quick link review catches typos and unfinished destinations before visitors encounter them. Give extra attention to primary calls to action and policy links. ## Step-by-step guide 1. Describe the expected behaviour and reproduce the current result. 2. Inspect relevant logs, requests, browser errors, and configuration. 3. Make one focused change and explain why it should address the cause. 4. Test valid input, invalid input, permissions, and failure conditions. 5. Review security, accessibility, and performance before release. 6. Deploy with a rollback plan and verify the live workflow. ## Common mistakes to avoid - Do not skip the test stage just because the page or tool appears to work on your own device. - Do not publish unverified claims, broken links, or instructions that no longer match the current interface. - Keep a copy of important source files and record any settings that would be difficult to recreate. ## Final checklist - Confirm the result solves the original problem. - Check the experience on a second device or browser where practical. - Make sure the instructions are clear enough for a first-time reader. - Review the page periodically and update it when the process changes.
Developer handover checklist
- Keep source code in version control and document setup and configuration.
- Store secrets outside source code and restrict access to credentials.
- Test important business rules, validation, permissions, and failure paths.
- Log diagnostic details without exposing passwords, tokens, or personal data.
- Document deployment, rollback, backup, and recovery steps.
Verify before deployment
Test changed workflows in staging where possible. Check server logs, browser errors, response codes, and key user journeys after release. Measure the bottleneck before introducing complex optimisation.
