Branch review for Uptime – Automated Store Tests

Nov. 8, 2022

Uptime has been a great addition to our testing suite! We didn't have any form of automated testing in place and wanted something that would ensure our ecommerce flows (add to carts, checkouts, etc.) were working properly, and give us peace of mind. We regularly collaborate with the Uptime team, who have a deep knowledge of Shopify stores/backend, to identify and set up automated tests for important flows on our store. Setting up flows is super easy and very intuitive to do. So far Uptime has identified quite a few breaks in our functionality, right as they happened and allowed us to quickly fix the issue. When any functionality breaks, Uptime immediately notifies us via email so we can work on a fix as soon as possible and minimize any impact on store revenue or customer experience. With the upcoming holiday/BFCM shopping season, we're excited to set up new flows for all promotional landing/sale pages to ensure that our most important shopping experiences are working properly during what we consider to be the most important shopping season of the year. Finally, using Uptime has saved our team many hours of manual QA with their automated tests, and we use the time saved to focus on new strategic work for our business! I’m super excited for new functionality the Uptime team is working on, and now consider Uptime a crucial testing tool for our stores.
