This page defines practical quality gates for change readiness.
Gate Stages¶
flowchart TD
A[Code complete] --> B[Checks and tests pass]
B --> C[Documentation updated]
C --> D[Security and architecture review]
D --> E[Release readiness decision] Minimum Gate Criteria¶
- Local checks and targeted tests pass.
- Coverage threshold remains compliant.
- Migration impact is reviewed where applicable.
- User-facing behavior and docs updates are included.
- Risky changes have rollback notes.
Gate Decision Outcomes¶
- Pass: ready for release path.
- Conditional pass: limited known issues with agreed actions.
- Fail: remediation required before progression.
Evidence Expectations¶
| Gate Area | Minimum Evidence |
|---|---|
| Testing | Command output or CI result reference |
| Coverage | Current threshold result |
| Docs | Updated page links in change record |
| Security/Architecture | Review notes for high-impact changes |
| Rollback | Clear rollback steps for risky changes |
