We have picked multiple existing end-to-end tests to be executed against our production instances, triggered after a new release and daily.
Some of the concerns we have are potential side effects of the smoke test run and interference with the active users during the run.
What are the general guidelines for running smoke tests against production and what issues can we expect to encounter?
Additional Info:
The application under test is a web application (AngularJS
-based) in the healthcare insurance space. Tests are written in Protractor
/WebDriverJS
using Jasmine
test framework.
