Laserfiche Cloud Test Environment

posted on May 14, 2021 Show version history

Hello,

I was curious to know if Laserfiche Cloud customers have access to any kind of test environment where they can test/review upcoming changes before they are released to the production environment. For clarity, I mean testing changes/updates to Laserfiche itself.

I know there is a change management process in place and I'm sure a lot of testing is done before anything is moved to production, but I wasn't sure if that was strictly internal or if customers could also review the changes.

The reason I ask is that it's fairly common for new releases to contain at least one or two things that don't affect most customers but end up being "showstoppers" for our unique environment, processes, etc.

As a result, we generally wait until at least Update 1 before we even consider upgrading our self-hosted system to the latest version, so the thought of losing control of the upgrade process in Cloud is a bit daunting.

With all of that in mind, I was just curious as to whether Cloud customers, or customers who adopt Hybrid features, have a place where they can test to help identify the more "elusive" bugs and provide time for a patch, or workaround, before the changes make their way into production.

Hi Jason,

Not at this time in the way you describe. Currently, Laserfiche Cloud "Test" environments for customers run in the same Laserfiche Cloud Production infrastructure and on the same update cycle as customer Production accounts.

We're certainly aware of the utility of Test environments on an earlier update cycle to provide time to test ones' processes and configurations for any issues before the subsequent Production update rolls out. I'm not personally privy to planning in this area, but will make sure the relevant teams see this post.
