Critical flows

  • Limited tests that prove our site main flows work
  • Test simulates a user on our site
  • Flows could be determined by business

==

All user flows work

Deploy with confidence

==

Automatic deployment?

So, what do we need to achieve this?

Production-like test env

Proper mock solution

  • Strong coupling with GSM content schema
  • Easier to configure E2E flows
  • Easier to maintain
