Testing and Sandbox
This section provides guidance for testing your integration with the Phoenix Gamification Ingestion Gateway. It includes sandbox credentials, a pre-launch checklist
Test Credentials
Use these credentials for staging environment testing:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Tenant ID | test-tenant |
| Secret | test_secret_key_12345 |
| Endpoint | deployed.url |
Never use test credentials in production.
Test Checklist
Before going live, verify:
- Signature generation is correct
- All required headers are included
- Timestamp is within acceptable range
- Event schema matches specification
- Tenant ID matches in header and body
- HTTPS is used (not HTTP)
- Error handling is implemented
- Retry logic with backoff is working
- Rate limits are respected
- Secrets are stored securely
- Monitoring and alerting configured
Example Test Script
import os
import sys
def test_integration():
# Test 1: Valid event submission
event = create_test_event("evt_test_001", "transaction.completed")
result = send_event(event)
assert result["status"] == "accepted", "Event not accepted"
print("✓ Event submission successful")
# Test 2: Invalid signature (should fail)
try:
event = create_test_event("evt_test_002", "transaction.completed")
# Tamper with signature
send_event_with_invalid_signature(event)
print("✗ Invalid signature should have been rejected")
sys.exit(1)
except AuthenticationError:
print("✓ Invalid signature correctly rejected")
# Test 3: Expired timestamp (should fail)
try:
event = create_test_event("evt_test_003", "transaction.completed")
send_event_with_old_timestamp(event)
print("✗ Expired timestamp should have been rejected")
sys.exit(1)
except AuthenticationError:
print("✓ Expired timestamp correctly rejected")
print("\nAll tests passed! Integration is ready.")

test_integration()Before Going Live
Before launching in production:
- Complete integration testing - Verify all endpoints work correctly
- Load test your implementation - Ensure it handles expected volume
- Set up monitoring - Track success rates, latency, and errors
- Configure alerts - Get notified of integration issues
- Review security - Ensure secrets are secure and HTTPS is used
- Document internally - Create runbooks for your team
- Contact support - Schedule production verification with our team
