We hired a robot that checks the shop for us
After every change a robot clicks through the shop like a customer and alerts us when something breaks, before you notice.

Whenever we add a new feature, there is always a risk that something else breaks along the way. A button stops working, a page does not load, the cart loses a product. We used to catch this ourselves by clicking through everything. That is slow and easy to miss.
We hired a robot. After every release of a new shop version, the robot walks through the most important paths on its own: it opens a product page, adds to cart, enters checkout, checks login. It does exactly what you would do, only faster and without getting bored.
What this gives you
If the robot hits a problem, we get an alert right away, before you notice anything. We can fix the issue before it touches your order. In short: fewer surprises on our side, calmer shopping on yours.
This is one of those things you never see on the page, but it makes the shop run more reliably every day.
