Testing Production

Quick Start

# Scan for incomplete implementations
grep -r "mock\|fake\|stub\|TODO\|FIXME" src/ --exclude-dir=__tests__

# Run production validation tests
npm run test:production
npm run test:e2e

# Validate against real services
npm run test:integration -- --env=staging

When to Use

• Before deploying to production
• After completing TDD implementation phase
• To verify no mock implementations remain in production code
• To test against real databases, APIs, and infrastructure
• To validate performance under realistic load
• To confirm security measures are properly implemented

Prerequisites

• Completed unit/integration test suite
• Access to staging environment with real services
• Environment variables for real service connections
• Load testing tools (if validating performance)
