Feedback

Automatic (CI) testing is paramount to improve software quality with a low effort. It also helps contributors to get into the project and provide code of a certain quality.

Currently some tests seem to exist. They don't test the deployment though, only pre-created deployments. Testing should also cover the deployment part.

Rational

Testing is key to ensure code quality with limited effort. Since the involved tasks might take long, manual testing should be reduced to a minimum and automatic tests should be used instead.

Testing can also help contributors better understand how the deployment is supposed to be done and acts as a much better documentation than MarkDown documentation based on manual deployment.

I agree on this @Silvanoc .
We need to expand the 'Github Actions' to go beyond deployment and run 'Sanity Tests' to detect code-breaks / functionality breaks.
Of course, you should be able to run these tests locally as well.
