As simple as this... do a smoke test.

When ever we (The Testing Team) are given a build from the development team, we do not go ahead with system testing. We donot run all the test cases which we have in our inventory. 

We initially, would do a BVT (Build Verification Test) where we classify some of the test cases as high priority with respect to the functionality. We would run these test cases against each and every new Build which the QA team is given.

 

Based on the results on the BVT run, we need to decide if the build should be accepted or rejected.

 

We would accept a build if the application does not have any SEV-1 bugs. If the application does not crash while performing the BVT, we suppose that the application is stable and the build would be accepted.

 

On the other hand, if the application throws SEV-1 bugs while running the BVT's then the application Build can be rejected as considering as unfit to System Testing.
