You Are Not Done Yet: Table Of Contents

You are not done testing yet unless...you have verified you have checked all of the following. Yes, this is a bunch of work! Make this list your own: remove items which are not relevant in your context - and add items which are unique to your context! Triage items off the list as unimportant, or prioritize them lower in priority. Most important is that you consciously think about and decide what to do with each item. (And if you're a developer, check out my (much shorter) You Are Not Done Yet: Developer Edition checklist.)
