In order to automate hundreds or thousands of end-to-end tests, and run them concurrently, we need a testing environment that meets certain requirements.

​
Resource class

For the best performance, we recommend using a resource class with at least 2 vCPUs and 2 GB of RAM per browser instance.

​
Stability

Applications on the environment do not have frequent restarts or resource consumption issues; and there is some form of change control to prevent unexpected deployments.

​
Concurrent user capacity

We run each of your tests in a separate worker, each of which acts as an individual user. The test environment (and dependent databases, email servers, etc.) must have the resources to support as many concurrent users as you have tests.

​
Configured for automated testing

Applications in the environment need to be configured so that the tests can pass. For example:

  • If the application has feature flags, the flags are set so that tests can pass.
  • There is at least one user account created for Momentic, and the ability to programmatically add more as needed to run tests concurrently.
  • Sub-one minute email and SMS delivery.
