Deployment is a multi-week process that occurs in stages, with your X1 App appearing on a new group of set-top boxes each time. At each stage, your X1 App's Error Free Session Rate and Time To Minimally Usable metrics are monitored to ensure the target numbers are being met. If any issues are encountered, you will be contacted to provide fixes as needed.

It is highly recommended that you undertake performance testing prior to submitting your X1 App for certification, in order to ensure your systems are ready for the increase in traffic as your X1 App is deployed.

The process ends when your X1 App is at 100% general availability (GA). Once fully deployed, if the Error Free Session Rate and Time To Minimally Usable metrics are stable, the status of your X1 App on the App Dashboard will be updated to "Production: Complete."

If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to your partner manager.
