Testing in production

A lot of the time "testing in production" has a negative connotation and meaning. But once you dig deeper into the source of the fear you will find that different people mean different things by it.

Some people, when they say it, mean: “I ONLY test in production”.
Others mean: “I test before it and I ALSO test in production”.

You want to know if your production is up, running, and happy, aren’t you? This is achieved by testing! It could be performed “actively” by manual exploration or “UI end-to-end” automated smoke tests. Or “passively” by looking at the monitoring dashboards.
But you need to do it and there is nothing wrong with it. :)
