One of the last things you do before launch is pay money to yourself by running a real payment with real money in production. An automated test for config is nice, but nothing beats actually doing the critical thing yourself before launching to the world.

- daenz 7y agoI don't see how this changes anything? If they had attempted to do a production import of their live bank account, it would have been denied, same as what happened to their customers, and they would have caught it before the mistake affected real users.
- GeneralTspoon 7y agoMy understanding was that it would have worked for her because she still would have been under the 100 user limit. So the test env still worked for production data, for the first 100 users.
- jnfr 7y agoYeah, exactly. And running a payment through wouldn't have revealed anything since those two systems aren't connected.
- daenz 7y agoGot it. For some reason, I was reading it as you had depleted the accounts before going live, but that makes much more sense. I take back what I said then about the live production test helping here. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
- jnfr 7y agoAu contraire, I was diligently rationing my free test accounts, haha! Thanks for reading!
