Production QA Validator
Run phases in order. Fix failures before moving to next.
When to Use
- Use before shipping or promoting a fullstack Next.js app to production.
- Use after large UI, SEO, auth, API, database, or dependency changes need a concrete launch-readiness pass.
- Use when you need a compact command-driven checklist for build, route, metadata, performance, security, and cleanup checks.

Phase 3: API Session & Authentication
- Auth endpoints respond (login, session, logout)
- Protected routes return 401/403
- Session cookie: HttpOnly + Secure + SameSite
- Cookie not expired, Path/Domain correct
- No rate limiting bypass
qa:auth() {
local F=0
for ep in /api/auth/login /api/auth/session /api/auth/logout; do
curl -so /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$PROD_URL$ep" | grep -q "200\|401" || { echo " ✗ $ep unreachable"; ((F++)); }
done
curl -so /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$PROD_URL/api/protected" | grep -q "401\|403" || echo " ⚠ Protected route not denying unauthenticated"
return $F
}
qa:auth:cookies() {
for ep in /api/auth/session /api/auth/login; do
curl -sI "$PROD_URL$ep" | grep -i "^set-cookie:" | while IFS= read -r c; do
echo " $ep: $(echo "$c" | cut -d= -f1)"
echo "$c" | grep -qi "HttpOnly" || echo " ✗ Missing HttpOnly"
echo "$c" | grep -qi "Secure" || echo " ✗ Missing Secure"
echo "$c" | grep -qi "SameSite" || echo " ⚠ Missing SameSite"
done
done
}
Phase 4: Route Regression
- Core pages, sitemap, robots.txt all 200
- URLs use kebab-case, no duplicate slugs
- robots.txt allows indexing
- Sitemap XML valid, all URLs resolve 200
qa:routes() { local F=0; for p; do local C=$(curl -so /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$PROD_URL$p"); echo "$C $p"; [ "$C" = "200" ] || ((F++)); done; return $F; }
qa:robots() { curl -s "$PROD_URL/robots.txt" | grep -qi "Disallow: /$" && echo " ✗ Blocks all crawlers" || echo " ✓ OK"; }
qa:sitemap() { curl -s "$PROD_URL/sitemap.xml" | python3 -c "import sys,xml.etree.ElementTree as ET; ET.parse(sys.stdin); print('✓ Valid XML')"; }
Phase 5: SEO — Tags, Images, Favicon, Slugs
<title>30–60 chars, unique per page<meta name="description">in raw HTML- og:title matches
<title>, og:url matches canonical - og:image ≥ 1200×630px, absolute URL, loads 200
- twitter:card = summary_large_image
- Canonical self-referencing, no duplicates
/favicon.ico200, apple-touch-icon presenthreflangtags if multilingual- JSON-LD structured data present
- Slugs: kebab-case, < 80 chars, no stop words
qa:seo() {
local H=$(curl -s "$PROD_URL"); local F=0
for t in "og:title" "og:description" "og:image" "twitter:card" "canonical" "description"; do echo "$H" | grep -qi "$t" || { echo " ✗ $t"; ((F++)); }; done
echo "$H" | grep -qi "<title>" || { echo " ✗ <title>"; ((F++)); }
local T=$(echo "$H" | grep -oP '<title>\K[^<]+'); local L=${#T}; [ $L -ge 30 -a $L -le 60 ] || echo " ⚠ Title ${L}chars (target 30-60)"
curl -so /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$PROD_URL/favicon.ico" | grep -q 200 || echo " ⚠ No favicon.ico"
return $F
}
qa:seo:ogimage() {
local I=$(curl -s "$PROD_URL" | grep -oP 'og:image" content="\K[^"]+'); [[ "$I" =~ ^http ]] || I="$PROD_URL$I"
curl -so /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$I" | grep -q 200 || { echo " ✗ og:image returns non-200"; return 1; }
command -v identify &>/dev/null && curl -s "$I" | identify -format "%wx%h" - 2>/dev/null | grep -qP "12\d{2}x6\d{2}" && echo " ✓ ≥ 1200x630" || echo " ⚠ Install imagemagick to check dimensions"
}
Phase 6: API Route Behavior
- Correct status codes + Content-Type
- Errors return consistent JSON
{ error, message } - Response times < 200ms
- CORS headers correct (if cross-origin)
qa:api() {
for p; do
local R=$(curl -so /dev/null -w "%{http_code} %{content_type}" "$PROD_URL$p")
echo " $p → $R"
done
local E=$(curl -s "$PROD_URL/api/nonexistent")
echo "$E" | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); assert 'error' in d; print('✓ Consistent errors')" 2>/dev/null || echo " ⚠ Inconsistent error shape"
}
Phase 7: Git Hygiene
- No secrets/credentials in diff
- No
.next/node_modulesstaged - Commit:
type(scope): message
qa:git() {
local S=$(git diff HEAD 2>/dev/null | grep -i "password\|secret\|api_key\|localhost:3000" | grep "^+")
[ -n "$S" ] && { echo " ✗ Secrets in diff!"; echo "$S"; return 1; } || echo " ✓ No secrets"
local A=$(git status --short 2>/dev/null | grep -E "\.next|node_modules" | head -3)
[ -n "$A" ] && echo " ⚠ Build artifacts:" && echo "$A" || echo " ✓ No artifacts"
}
Phase 8: Post-Deployment Smoke Test
- Homepage 200, key pages 200
- OG image loads 200
- No console errors (manual)
- Auth flow works (manual)
qa:smoke() {
curl -sI "$PROD_URL" | head -1 | grep -q "200" && echo " ✓ Homepage" || echo " ✗ Homepage"
curl -sI "$PROD_URL/sitemap.xml" | head -1 | grep -q "200" && echo " ✓ Sitemap" || echo " ✗ Sitemap"
}
Phase 9: Page Speed, Lazy Load & Bundles
- Lighthouse ≥ 90 (Perf, A11y, SEO)
- FCP < 2.5s, LCP < 4.0s, CLS < 0.1
- Images lazy-loaded (
loading="lazy"), WebP/AVIF - Dynamic imports for heavy components
- Largest JS chunk < 200KB gzipped
font-display: swap, no FOIT- Total page weight < 1MB
qa:lazyload() {
local N=$(grep -r "loading=" app/ --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | grep -c "lazy" || true)
echo " Lazy images: $N"
grep -rn "next/dynamic\|dynamic((" app/ --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | head -5 | grep . || echo " ⚠ No dynamic imports"
}
qa:heavyload() {
ls -lhS .next/static/chunks/*.js 2>/dev/null | head -5
local W=$(curl -so /dev/null -w "%{size_download}" "$PROD_URL" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
echo " HTML weight: ~$((W/1024))KB"
echo " ⚠ Run 'npx lighthouse $PROD_URL --view' for full weight analysis"
}
# PageSpeed: open "https://pagespeed.web.dev/?url=$PROD_URL"
Phase 10: Cleanup & Vulnerability Scan
npm prune,depcheck— no unused deps- No console.log/debugger in staged code
npm audit— zero critical/high vulnerabilities- No eval/new Function/document.write
- TODOs resolved
qa:vulns() {
npm audit 2>/dev/null | grep -E "critical|high" | grep . && echo " ✗ Vulnerabilities!" || echo " ✓ No critical/high vulns"
npm outdated 2>/dev/null | head -5 | grep . || echo " ✓ All up to date"
local D=$(grep -rn "eval(\|new Function(\|document.write(" app/ src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | head -5)
[ -n "$D" ] && echo " ⚠ Dangerous patterns:" && echo "$D" || echo " ✓ No dangerous patterns"
}
qa:cleanup() {
local D=$(git diff --cached 2>/dev/null | grep "^+" | grep -i "console\.log\|debugger" | head -5)
[ -n "$D" ] && echo " ✗ Debug artifacts:" && echo "$D" || echo " ✓ No debug artifacts"
local T=$(git diff --cached 2>/dev/null | grep "^+" | grep -i "TODO\|FIXME\|HACK" | head -5)
[ -n "$T" ] && echo " ⚠ TODOs remain:" && echo "$T"
}
Phase 11: UI/UX — Cards, Animation, Error Boundaries
- Cards: equal height grid, no overlap, text ellipsis, responsive (1→2→3 col)
- No horizontal scroll at any viewport (320–1440px)
- Images: consistent
aspect-ratio+object-fit: cover - Touch targets ≥ 44×44px
- Animations use
transform+opacityonly (not layout props) prefers-reduced-motionrespected- Error boundaries at root + route level (
app/error.tsx,app/global-error.tsx) app/not-found.tsxandapp/loading.tsxexist- All client fetches show loading + error + empty states
- Buttons: hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading states
- Forms disable submit on click (no double-submit)
qa:ux:cards() {
local E=$(grep -rn "text-overflow\|line-clamp\|truncate" app/ --include="*.css" --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | head -3)
[ -n "$E" ] && echo " ✓ Text overflow handling" || echo " ⚠ No text overflow handling"
local A=$(grep -rn "aspect-\|object-fit" app/ --include="*.css" --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | head -3)
[ -n "$A" ] && echo " ✓ aspect-ratio/object-fit used" || echo " ⚠ No aspect-ratio set"
}
qa:ux:boundaries() {
for f in app/error.tsx app/global-error.tsx app/not-found.tsx app/loading.tsx; do
[ -f "$f" ] && echo " ✓ $f" || echo " ⚠ Missing $f"
done
}
qa:ux:animation() {
local A=$(grep -rn "animation.*width\|transition.*height\|@keyframes.*top\|@keyframes.*margin" app/ --include="*.css" --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | head -5)
[ -n "$A" ] && echo " ⚠ Layout-triggering animations:" && echo "$A" || echo " ✓ No layout-triggering animations"
local P=$(grep -r "@media.*prefers-reduced-motion" app/ --include="*.css" --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | head -3)
[ -n "$P" ] && echo " ✓ prefers-reduced-motion found in CSS" || echo " ⚠ No prefers-reduced-motion in CSS"
}
Phase 12: Database & Data Layer
- Connection pool configured (no starvation)
- Schema in sync with migrations
- Indexes on all queried columns, no N+1
- No hardcoded DB credentials in source
- No raw SQL injection risk
- No sensitive data leaked in API responses
- Migrations are idempotent
qa:database() {
local H=$(grep -rn "postgres://\|mysql://\|mongodb://" app/ src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | grep -v ".env" | head -5)
[ -n "$H" ] && { echo " ✗ Hardcoded DB URL:"; echo "$H"; } || echo " ✓ No hardcoded DB URLs"
local R=$(grep -rn "\$queryRaw\|\.raw(" app/ src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | head -5)
[ -n "$R" ] && echo " ⚠ Raw SQL:" && echo "$R" || echo " ✓ No raw SQL"
local N=$(grep -rn "\.findMany\|\.findUnique" app/ src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | grep -v "include:" | head -5)
[ -n "$N" ] && echo " ⚠ Possible N+1:" && echo "$N" || echo " ✓ No N+1 patterns"
}
qa:db:migrations() {
[ -d "prisma/migrations" ] && echo " ✓ Prisma: $(ls prisma/migrations 2>/dev/null | wc -l) migrations" || echo " - No prisma migrations dir"
local M=$(ls db/migrations/*.sql 2>/dev/null | head -5); [ -n "$M" ] && echo " ✓ SQL migrations:" && echo "$M" || echo " - No SQL migration files"
}
Phase 13: Secure Data Rendering
- No secrets/tokens in client source or localStorage
- No
dangerouslySetInnerHTMLwithout DOMPurify - API errors don't leak stack traces
- Internal IDs use UUIDs not auto-increment
- User emails masked in UI
- NEXT_PUBLIC_ vars contain no secrets
qa:secure() {
local S=$(git grep -n "api_key\|API_KEY\|secret_key\|PRIVATE_KEY" -- ':!*.env*' ':!*test*' 2>/dev/null | head -5)
[ -n "$S" ] && echo " ✗ Secrets in source:" && echo "$S" || echo " ✓ No hardcoded secrets"
local D=$(grep -rn "dangerouslySetInnerHTML" app/ src/ --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | head -5)
[ -n "$D" ] && echo " ⚠ XSS risk — use DOMPurify:" && echo "$D" || echo " ✓ No dangerouslySetInnerHTML"
local T=$(grep -rn "localStorage\|sessionStorage" app/ src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | grep -i "token\|jwt\|secret" | head -5)
[ -n "$T" ] && echo " ⚠ Tokens in storage — use httpOnly cookies:" && echo "$T" || echo " ✓ No tokens in storage"
curl -s "$PROD_URL/api/nonexistent" 2>/dev/null | grep -qi "stack\|Error:" && echo " ✗ Stack trace leak" || echo " ✓ No stack leak"

Best Practices
| ✅ Do | ❌ Don't |
|---|---|
| Run full 13-phase flow before deploy | Skip typecheck or lint |
Set PROD_URL in profile/.envrc |
Hardcode URLs in scripts |
| OG images ≥ 1200×630 | Use small OG images |
Animate with transform+opacity |
Animate width/height/top |
| Show loading/error/empty states | Leave users on blank screens |
prefers-reduced-motion for animations |
Force motion on all users |
| HttpOnly + Secure cookies for tokens | localStorage for auth tokens |
| Error boundaries at all levels | White screen on crash |
| Database indexes + include/populate | N+1 queries in loops |
npm audit before deploy |
Deploy with known vulns |
Common Pitfalls
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| OG tags missing in raw HTML | Use export const metadata in Next.js |
Disallow: / in robots.txt |
Blocks all crawlers — use specific paths |
| Cards different heights in grid | Use display: grid with equal-height rows, not flex |
| Text overflows card | Add text-overflow: ellipsis + overflow: hidden |
| Animation jank | Animate transform not width/height |
| Form submits twice | Disable button on first click |
| Console errors in prod | Add no-console ESLint rule |
| DB connection timeout | Add connection pooling (PgBouncer/Prisma Accelerate) |
| Sensitive data in API | Strip passwordHash/secret in response transformer |
| App crashes on error | Add app/error.tsx error boundary |
| Large JS bundles | Dynamic import heavy components, analyze with next/bundle-analyzer |
| Images load slowly | Add loading="lazy", use WebP/AVIF, resize to display size |
Security Notes
- All
qa:*functions are read-only (tsc, lint, test, build, curl, grep) PROD_URLandQA_AUTH_HEADERonly for environments you own- Basic secret scanning in
git diff— for prod, usetrufflehog/git-secrets - Auth tests with real credentials against prod is destructive — use staging
Limitations
- Passing all phases reduces risk but doesn't eliminate production bugs
- Some checks depend on project-specific tooling (Prisma, NextAuth, etc.)
- Manual UX testing still required for critical user journeys
- SEO checks verify raw HTML only — not social preview rendering
- Route checks verify status codes, not content correctness
