Integration Testing Checklist
Test Environment Setup
Ensure all the necessary hardware and software requirements are met for the integration environment
Configure the network settings to match the production environment as closely as possible
Set up the integration database with the proper schema and any required seed data
Test Data Preparation
Create detailed test data that covers all the scenarios that will be tested
Ensure test data includes edge cases and boundary conditions
Review and update test data regularly to keep it relevant and comprehensive
Test Cases and Scripts
Review existing test cases for unit and system testing to ensure coverage
Write integration test cases that focus on the interaction between components
Automate test scripts where possible to increase efficiency and repeatability
Dependency Management
Identify all external and internal dependencies that could affect the integration tests
Ensure all dependent services, APIs, and modules are available and stable
Have a strategy to mock or stub out unavailable dependencies
Execution and Monitoring
Execute integration tests in a sequence that reflects the real-world usage and dependencies
Monitor system resources, performance, and error logs during the tests
Use continuous integration tools to schedule and automate test runs
Results Analysis and Reporting
Record test results systematically and ensure they are easy to access and interpret
Analyze failures to identify the root cause, whether it be code defects or environment issues
Communicate results to the relevant stakeholders and update issue tracking systems
