The Flagship: One Test Flow, Four Ways

One test flow (create an order, pick it, deliver it, cancel or refund it, plus the staff shifts around it), reachable four ways so that nobody has to wait for someone who knows the CLI.

Before and After

What changed for the engineers who use these tools.

Order testing

Before

A command-line tool on one laptop. No record of what anyone ran.

After

An API, a portal and MCP tools for the whole order lifecycle. Other teams run it themselves, every action is audited, and it is smoke-tested nightly.

Delivery testing

Before

Someone at a warehouse with a courier phone, coordinated across two teams.

After

One person and a browser, from courier sign-in to drop-off with live location.

Test accounts

Before

Made by hand and reused forever. Counted as real customers and sent real marketing email.

After

Minted on demand by a dedicated service, invisible to reporting and marketing, retired automatically.

API documentation

Before

Written by hand and drifting from what the services actually did.

After

An OpenAPI spec for every service, enforced in CI: if a service drifts, the build fails.
