Testing workflows
I’m new here. Been reading for a bit. Some great insights here to help me learn about a business idea I can’t seem to shake. That idea being helping local SMBs with efficiency improvements.
My day job is a software tester in the corporate world so I’m bringing this thinking into how this works in the real world.
One thing I’ve not seen mentioned here yet is how people test workflows they are implementing into a SMB. It feels likely that some workflows would need to be reading from and even writing to existing external vendor software. In this case, how do you test these flows? Do vendors let you get access to test environments? Alternative is to stub but that exposes a risk in not testing end to end. Or is the answer to just test in prod and keep an eye on data created and clean up?
