Integration testing in ecommerce | 8 Key Steps

The goal of integration testing in ecommerce is to ensure that all components of an online platform work together seamlessly. So, what can you do to ensure seamless compatibility with newly introduced features and third-party services within your digital ecosystem?

Here are 8 key steps that you need to take note of:

1️⃣ Prepare test plan and strategy
Develop a comprehensive test plan outlining the scope, objectives, resources, and timeline for integration testing in your ecommerce project. This includes the tools and approach to be used.

2️⃣ Understand the system architecture and integration requirements
Study the requirements of each new feature or third-party service introduced. This will help you understand how data is exchanged between your platform and the new integration.

3️⃣ Create test case scenarios
Based on the integration requirements, create the test scenarios, test cases, and the expected results.

4️⃣ Set up the test environment
Set up a test environment that mimics the production environment. This includes setting up the third-party tools and services in the test environment.

5️⃣ Execute the integration tests
Using the test plan, execute the integration tests. Record and report any defects found during the testing.

6️⃣ Track and document
Track reported defects, document steps taken for resolution

7️⃣ Repeat the tests
Retest the system after fixes have been implemented to ensure that the issues are resolved.

8️⃣ Monitor the integration in production: After deploying the changes to production, monitor the integration to ensure it is working as expected.
