Risk Management  
Reassess your risks based on the update information and execute mitigation measures when applicable. For a pretty cool article on risk management, you can check the Five Simple Steps to Agile Risk Management.
Customer Alignment  
Your customer trusted you with a project delivery, it’s your job to pursue what you proposed and regularly update the project stakeholders with the progress and status. Make them part of the decisions that have impact on the plan leveraging their ability to guide the project with you.
Produce and discuss a weekly progress report.  Having trouble what should be in? Learn how to Present to Senior Executives.
Continuously validate your team aligment with your customer team by requesting their feedback throughout the project delivery, ideally every sprint after the demo. This way you will be able to act and improve on the delivery process when and where needed for a final great delivery experience. Use the Customer Satisfaction app for feedback request and analysis.
Follow Rollout Plan  
At this stage you should have a rollout plan defined and agreed with all involved parties.

Tests are fundamental to ensure quality of the solution delivered. At OutSystems you should follow the Testing Process that, covers how to fit end-to-end user stories functional tests and unit tests in the Delivery Method. This is an iterative process that will ensure solution quality from the delivery team and will ensure alignment with the customer on the acceptance criteria for each user story. Remember that the Acceptance tests must be done by the customer. 
Testing Process
