Smoke and sanity test suites: how long setup takes and what happens next

A realistic timeline for customizing your test suites, plus how we prepare environments and keep tests up to date afterwards.

How soon can automated testing start? The answer depends on your store, but here is what a typical setup looks like.

Two suites, two timelines

The smoke test suite typically takes about 30 days to customize.

The sanity test suite takes around 60 days.

Both timelines depend on project-specific factors. To see how much each level of coverage includes, compare the test coverage packages.

How the work runs

  1. We identify what matters. Every business has its own needs. We look at your store, including new functionality like improved product search or extra checkout options.
  2. We build on a solid foundation. Starting from our existing framework, we write test scripts tailored to the scenarios we identified.
  3. We test thoroughly. The scripts run across your site, so no corner of the shopper journey goes unchecked.
  4. We turn results into insight. We analyze the results to find issues and opportunities for improvement.
  5. We report back. You get a concise report with a clear roadmap for improving your store.

The right environment

Our test automation team schedules and tracks environment setup, making sure the software and hardware configurations suit your testing needs.

Keeping tests current

A test suite is only useful while it matches your store. We continuously review, analyze, and update test cases so they stay accurate and effective as your store changes.
