Release Prep Checklist

Code Verification

Update libraries to latest, if possible
Ensure that included images are compressed in the git repo

Automated Code Verification

Run retire -p on client code Retire JS
- This runs as part of the client-checks job in every circle build.
Run gradlew dependencyCheckAnalyze --info to do OWASP security check
- This runs nightly on the master branch.

Documentation

Review documentation, and that it is still in sync with the project.
Confirm supported browser docs: Supported Browsers
Update the “as of” date in the supported browser docs.

Test Environment

Deploy the latest master branch code to https://sciapps.colorado.edu (private deployOS playbook)
Reset the indices and reload the data. (private loadOnestop playbook)
- Check the logs, to make sure when ETL runs, 100% of the collections and granules make it into the search index (or document that those that do not are not expected to)

Manual UI Checks

During all UI checks, make sure to keep an eye on the dev console for unexpected errors or warnings.

Browser Support and CSS

Verify CSS works across supported browsers:
- note for css on IE (VirtualBox): You may have to manually clear the IE cache.
- IE 11 on AdminLan
- IE 11 on Windows
- Firefox latest on Mac
- Firefox latest on AdminLan
- Chrome latest on Mac
- Chrome latest on AdminLan
- Safari
- Use Chrome dev mobile view to check rendering on mobile devices, including landscape views
Test responsiveness by adjusting window size between large and small
- Landing page adjusts gracefully
- Header and footer elements maintain reasonable placement in page layout
- On search page, with all keyword categories expanded, they stay visible (the footer is pushed down without clipping)
- Result cards respond to page adjustments
- Collection detail view realigns elements cleanly on each tab

UI Behavior
