Others replied already, but I'll chime in too. There's "testing" * manual during development * automated testing And there's "testing" * smoke checking processes in production In most cases, the "test in production" is more of a "validation" that end to end experience works. And there probably shouldn't really be much of a way to distinguish between a "test" in production and a "validation" of the purchase process.
