Surprised to see GCP testing mentioned, is that really necessary?

Testing the GCP infrastructure sounds crucial, but I can't recall if that's the main focus for Mountkirk. D might be worth considering.

I think we practiced a question where tests were supposed to be done before production, which makes me lean away from C.

I remember we discussed how test coverage should be more comprehensive for new platforms, so I think A makes sense.

Okay, I've got a plan. I'll design a testing strategy that scales well beyond the prior approaches, including infrastructure-level testing on the GCP platform. I'll avoid the trap of just doing unit or end-to-end tests, and try to come up with a more comprehensive solution.

I think the key here is to move away from the traditional unit and end-to-end testing approach. The question is asking for something different, so I'll focus on testing the GCP infrastructure directly and seeing how the tests can scale for this new platform.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. The question mentions "differ from their existing backends on the other platforms", so I'm not sure if I should be comparing to their current testing strategy or starting from scratch. I'll need to re-read the case study to understand the context better.

This question seems straightforward - we need to design a new testing strategy for Mountkirk Games' backends on the Google Cloud Platform. I'll focus on scaling the tests beyond the prior approaches and including infrastructure-level testing.
