Testing
Summary
Testing your integration with the Amazon Just WalkOut service follows four sequential phases building a comprehensive validation framework. This systematic approach ensures reliable and scalable connections between your systems and Amazon's platform, effectively validating real-world usage scenarios and performance requirements.
It is recommended to follow the testing sequence to validate your integration efficiently and minimize Amazon team dependencies.
| Testing Phase | Goal | Entry Criteria | Exit Criteria | Notes |

| End-to-end Testing | To ensure multiple systems and APIs work together correctly, including shopper authorization and shopping cart functionality | Customer has completed connectivity testing and setup systems with user/promotional data | Digital stream ready for launch | Recommended when systems are stable for end-to-end use cases |
| Load Testing | To ensure IT systems can scale based on store shopper demand and identify bottlenecks | End-to-end testing completed and teams prepared for load testing | Customer can verify system handles projected store load | Customers can use Amazon solution guide for load testing their systems |
