SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deploy the current branch to staging and run through verification steps to confirm the changes work in a real environment. When a check fails, fix the issue, redeploy, and re-verify — don't just report the failure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deploy the current branch to a staging environment using gh workflows.
  • Run end-to-end verification checks (API and UI where supported) and re-verify after fixes.
  • Integrate with PR workflows to ensure non-trivial changes are validated before merge.

Quick Start

Trigger the staging deployment workflow for the current branch and verify the deployment end-to-end using the provided checklist.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate end-to-end staging verification for a pull request?▼

Automate end-to-end staging verification by deploying the current branch to a staging environment and running validation checks. Supports repeated deploy-verify cycles until all checks pass before merging.

What is the best way to run API and UI health checks after deploying to staging?▼

Run health checks after deploying to staging using curl-based API tests and optional browser automation. The verification process applies these checks to confirm changes work in a real environment.

How does staging verification work with CI pipelines?▼

Staging verification integrates with CI pipelines by triggering deployment workflows for feature branches. It applies verification steps across PRs, ensuring non-trivial changes are validated before merge.

Can I re-run verification checks after fixing a failed staging deployment?▼

Yes, you can re-run verification checks after fixing a failed staging deployment. The process supports repeated deploy-verify cycles, allowing you to fix issues, redeploy, and re-verify until validation passes.

Does staging verification support browser automation for UI testing?▼

Yes, staging verification supports optional browser automation for UI testing. It runs these checks alongside curl-based API tests to provide comprehensive end-to-end validation of your deployment.

When should I not use automated staging verification?▼

Automated staging verification is not ideal for trivial changes that do not require full validation. It is designed for non-trivial PRs and feature branches where confirming changes in a real environment is necessary.
