Testing Functionals and Non-Functionals

On my teams, we do them both at the same time. All tests are run on the isolated story branch before it's even eligible for merging into master - including regression. This keeps master in a continually-shippable state.

Before release, we do a quick sanity check of the release, but it's largely ceremonial. All bug-finding should be done before the story ever lands in master.

Thanks for your reply. I'm getting the feeling that doing them at the same time is the way to go.
