Sanity Testing
Quickly validate core functionality after deployments.
Sanity validation ensures critical functionality works immediately after deployment-fast validation of must-work features, deployment verification, basic system health.
What this validation covers
Structured capability coverage for teams that need repeatable signal instead of brittle scripts and one-off audits.
Why teams need it
Deployments go out, but you don't know if they work until users complain. Quick manual checks miss issues. Full test suites take too long for deployment gates. You need fast confidence, not slow certainty.
How Zof approaches it
The Sanity Agent knows your critical paths through the System Graph and validates them in minutes post-deployment. Fast enough for CI/CD gates, comprehensive enough to catch deployment-breaking issues.
Failure modes it catches
Critical paths broken by deployment
Configuration issues in new environment
Missing dependencies not caught
Database migrations incomplete
Feature flags incorrectly configured
Service discovery failures
Business impact
Instant deployment confidence
Faster rollback decisions
Reduce time to detect deployment issues by 90%
Enable faster deployment frequency
Flexible pricing by maturity
Start with a focused validation program and expand to full enterprise orchestration as your reliability program grows.
