A lean analytics regression checklist

Begin with the release diff. Changes to routing, forms, consent, authentication, payment steps and reusable UI components commonly affect tracking beyond the feature being shipped.

Rank tests by business impact and likelihood of breakage. Always include one end-to-end critical journey, identity transitions and the consent states available to your users.

After deployment, run a small production smoke test and distinguish collection health from downstream reporting latency. Record what was tested so the next release starts with evidence rather than assumptions.
