Test and use cases

Tap into these use cases when developing and testing the Commerce API and your commerce connector.
Before and after any production deployment, we recommend running regression tests similar to those outlined below on your site. We suggest using these tests as a baseline. You can customize the test cases based on your implementation. Include additional tests such as reviewing the logged API response codes, browser compatibility, domain or TLS security, JavaScript errors, and so on, as required. 
Since "live changes" do not allow for testing in a DESIGN or TEST mode, we recommend you integrate your Stage or Test systems with Digital River's Client Test Environment (CTE) whenever possible. This will help facilitate safe end-to-end testing of all changes before you deploy to production.
