What and how to test in Bitrix?

Question

Software testing

Good afternoon,

I now have 2 active projects - one on Bitrix, the other microservice on many things, but not on Bitrix)

And if in the second, we cover each microservice with unit tests, and we run the general application through acceptance tests. In the case of Bitrix, it’s not clear what to do) Moreover, we don’t have a website, but a CRM system, which is B24 Corporate Portal. Of course, we are actively finalizing it, adding components and so on. But everything is heavily tied to data, hooks, business processes, etc., and writing tests for the default parts of Bitrix is ​​rather strange.

In the end, we made only one test, which checks the accessibility of the main page after the build. The thought creeps in that in the case of the B24 box, there is no need for tests at all, if you don’t wind up a bunch of api.

Anyone have any experiences or thoughts on this?

Business processes need to be covered with tests. Interface tests - on selenium, especially if there is automation in response to client actions on external forms, otherwise a situation may arise when the client receives an invoice with the wrong amount or something like that.
