With summer winding down, it can be hard to think about shopping for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. The modernization and advancement of these technologies require additional testing and strategic approaches to ensure a beat is never missed. Development teams’ continuous testing of tools ahead of Black Friday will drive better UX by simulating realistic patterns — scaling up to two million virtual users — which will enable them to enter the shopping season confident that the user experience and backend performance will be successful.
For Black Friday testing, shift-left approaches can effectively use mocking services, large-scale test data, and virtual user simulation to help predict website readiness before the event.
So long as testing is front and center of your Black Friday plans, you can have your best shopping season.
