Test the Marketplace solution

Level: intermediate

Test the software solution before you publish it to verify its operability. Test the solution in the pre-production environment.

Developing and implementing a Marketplace solution is the same as the Creatio app. Learn more about developing and implementing a Creatio instance: Delivery management process.

Perform the testing as part of the Marketplace solution delivery. The steps to deliver the solution are as follows:

  1. Register a pre-production environment.
  2. Transfer the Marketplace solution to the pre-production environment.

1. Register a pre-production environment​

Use the pre-production environment to test the Marketplace solution functionality.

To register a testing environment solution, order a trial of the product solution that is selected as a development environment (i.e. the solution specified on the Development site tab).

You can order a trial in the following ways:

  • on the trial order page via the link
  • using the Developer profile

To order a trial using the Developer profile:

  1. Open the Developer profile.

  2. Click Applications → Test environment on the properties panel.

  3. Click the link to order a trial.

  4. Select the relevant product on the opened page and click Try it free.

  5. Log in to an existing Creatio account or create a new account.

As a result, the pre-production environment is ready to use. The user receives an email with the activation/deactivation dates of the testing environment solution and a link to the testing environment solution to the email address specified when registering.

2. Transfer the Marketplace solution to the pre-production environment​

Transfer the Marketplace solution to the pre-production environment to test its operability.

To transfer the Marketplace solution to the pre-production environment:

  1. Export packages that contain the Marketplace solution as a *.zip archive. Instructions: Delivery management process. If the Marketplace solution functionality is implemented in multiple packages, combine the exported *.gz archives of packages into a single *.zip archive.
  2. Import a *.zip archive of Marketplace solution packages or a single *.gz package archive into the testing environment solution. Instructions: Delivery management process.
  3. Verify the operability of the developed functionality. If you find an error, improve the functionality by fixing it. After that, repeat steps 1–2.
