Once certification is complete and both parties are satisfied with the
integration, launch can occur.
Integration testing
The purpose of integration testing is to verify that all
Virtual Cards APIs
requests and responses are handled correctly. The list of tests expected can be
found in the
test cases section.
Tests are performed in two environments:
Google sandbox -> Integrator sandbox
Google prod -> Integrator prod
If you have not yet exchanged production information such as keys and API domain,
submit the VCN integration request form
to connect with Google in the production environment.
Dogfood
Dogfooding allows you and Google to test real world end user experience.
Dogfood testing must occur in both the Integrator's and Google's production
environment and typically occurs for two weeks before launch.
By the end of dogfood all launch blocking issues should be resolved and the
dogfood can be extended if additional testing or fixes need to occur.
Once Integration testing and Dogfood phases have been successfully completed
the certification is complete.
Launch
In order to launch, you and Google need to give approval for launch.
It starts with a 1% roll out and rolling out to 100% typically takes one
month.
