End to End Testing

Many warehouses will not offer an End to End test facility as the setup of this is complex and resource intensive and the benefit is minimal. When you use the API you are sending to the LIVE system with a TEST marker so the inbound does all the verification against what you have within the actual warehouse without effecting live trading and if you are already trading with the stock in the warehouse then output API is already available to pull the data from live system.

Where there is a need for an end to end testing, based on the test files being sent then this can only be carried out when stage 4 checks have been completed and a sales order file can be processed, picked, and then information sent back to the customers relating to what items have been picked. If you need a full end-to-end test, let us know as early as possible this will have to be agreed by the warehouse, as there is a significant cost involved in running this completely.

Important : It will take up to 2 months to arrange and set up an environment which is suitable for an end to end testing.
