What’s the most reliable way to catch regressions early? Do you prioritize smoke tests, feature-based suites, or something else?

Catching bugs before they hit production is always a headache. I’ve seen QAs use quick smoke tests to catch the big stuff fast, but many rely on full feature-based test suites. I am not sure what’s the best scenario now.

So what’s your go-to way to spot regressions early? Do you stick to smoke tests, dive deep into feature suites, or have some secret sauce that actually works? Share your tips!
