We have thousands of tests and regularly deploy to production multiple times per day. This article is about all the crazy things we do to make that possible.

How we test our API

Our web API runs on node.js, but a lot of what we do should be applicable to other platforms.

On our API alone, we have ~2000 tests.

We have some wacky automated testing strategies:

• Quality
• Programming
• Node.js

This is the last part of my 3-part series on production-quality Node.js web applications. I've decided to leave error-prevention to the end, because while it's super-important, it's often the only strategy developers employ to ensure customers have the most defect-free experience as possible. It's definitely worth checking out parts I and II if you're curious about other strategies and really interested in getting significant results.

• Quality
• Programming
• Node.js

This is the second part of a three part series on making node.js web apps that are (what I would consider to be) production quality. The first part really just covered the basics, so if you're missing some aspect covered in the basics, you're likely going to have some issues with the approaches discussed here.

• Quality
• Programming
• Node.js
• Metrics
