Pre-release process
How to test Android apps before release
The final release pass should focus on the highest-risk user journeys, the highest-impact device coverage, and the kinds of issues that only show up on real hardware.
Before release, teams should stop trying to test everything equally. The goal is focused confidence: the right flows, the right devices, and the right failure scenarios.
Pre-release priorities
- Core user journey on real devices
- Critical permissions and onboarding
- Performance sanity on representative hardware
- Recovery from bad network and interruption events
- Device-specific checks for known-risk models
