Smoke(test)ing for Health
At CTL, we've been using smoketest for several years now. It is a standard part of our stack now and has helped us prevent numerous issues from making it to production as well as simplified and sped up the identification and fixing of production environment issues.
Testing JavaScript Interactives
Here at the CTL, we are passionate about delivering high quality code that adheres to community standards. Our quality control arsenal includes unit tests, code reviews, static analyzers, style checkers, and continuous integration. Our recent adoption of webpack for JavaScript interactives required a fresh approach for unit and client-side testing complexities.

We recently explored ways to package these interactives for wider distribution.
