Description: Deployment testing is a set of procedures designed to ensure that software is installed correctly in the production environment and functions as expected. These tests are crucial in the software development lifecycle, as they ensure that all configurations, dependencies, and system components integrate effectively. During the deployment process, it is verified that the software not only installs without errors but also meets the established functional and non-functional requirements. Deployment testing may include validating server configurations, verifying connectivity to databases and other services, as well as performing performance and security tests. This type of testing helps identify issues that may arise in the production environment, allowing development and operations teams to address any inconveniences before the software is used by end users. In a world where continuous delivery and continuous integration are common practices, deployment testing has become even more relevant, as it enables organizations to release updates and new features quickly and reliably.
