Test your signup flow before your users do
· 4 min read
Your signup flow is the one path every customer has to complete, and it is usually the least tested. You built it early, it worked, and you moved on. Meanwhile it quietly depends on your auth provider, your email service, a database write, a redirect, and a pile of client-side JavaScript, any of which can break without throwing an obvious error. When signup breaks, you do not get a bug report. You get silence, and a conversion number that drifts down for reasons nobody can explain.
