Cloud changes the test strategy
Services, permissions, queues, storage and configuration can differ between environments and affect behavior.
Configuration risks
Checks should cover environment variables, endpoints, permissions and dependency availability, not only code paths.
Deployment validation
Release checks confirm the expected build, migrations, service health and critical smoke paths.
Logs and regression
Diagnostics help distinguish data issues, integrations and product defects while automation protects critical APIs and jobs.
