Run a small, repeatable smoke test before each release
A release smoke test should answer whether the critical path is alive after a deploy. Uptraq makes that flow project-based: check the release, repair blockers, recheck, then watch the targets that matter.
Launch report
Release smoke test
Release readiness with inspectable evidence
These pages are focused on the pre-launch workflow. Monitoring stays available after release, but the first job is to find launch blockers early.
Critical paths first
For small teams, the best smoke test is narrow: validate the URLs and endpoints that would immediately block revenue, onboarding, or support.
Evidence instead of vibes
A useful smoke test produces a record: what passed, what failed, what changed after the recheck, and what should be watched after launch.
Designed for AI-built apps
AI-built apps still need external verification. Uptraq gives coding agents and human developers concrete evidence instead of vague release notes.
From launch target to post-launch watch
Define the smoke scope
Pick the few endpoints that must work for the release to be safe.
Run Full Launch Cycle
Store the report and make blockers visible before rollout.
Recheck after fixes
Confirm the same scope after code or configuration changes.
Arm monitoring
Start Launch Watch so the same targets stay visible after release.
Use pre-launch checks without forcing monitoring-first adoption
Some customers only need launch checks. Some only need monitors. Paid LaunchOps plans connect both workflows when a product needs the full loop.
Common questions
Is this the same as Playwright E2E testing?
No. Uptraq checks public release targets from the outside. It complements full browser E2E suites rather than replacing deep UI automation.
Can it run before every deploy?
Use Basic Launch Checks for lightweight validation and Full Launch Cycles when you need a stored report, recheck, and repair workflow.
What happens after the smoke test passes?
You can start Launch Watch to monitor the same critical targets during the release window.
