Stable store with automated updates and critical flow tests

Project Overview

Bullstore came to us for stability and a partner that proactively manages their Magento store. The shop had overdue updates and daily issues. We upgraded the platform and all extensions and built a CI pipeline with smoke tests on the core flows so releases stay safe and predictable.

The focus was on maintainability: proving we can run and improve Magento stores. Integrations like Buckaroo, Monta, Sendgrid, Snelstart, Channable, and Trustpilot remain supported and are included in our update and verification routines.

Challenge

The store needed cleanup without risking stability. Legacy extensions plus multiple critical integrations (payments, inventory, accounting, email, reviews) made manual patching risky and costly. Without regression checks, every update was a gamble.

Solution

We upgraded Magento and all extensions in stages, then added an automated update flow. The CI pipeline runs smoke tests on the key customer paths: adding a product to cart and verifying the checkout remains reachable and stable. Integrations (Buckaroo, Monta, Sendgrid, Snelstart, Channable, Trustpilot) stay under active management and are included in checks during updates.

Key Improvements

Automated updates & deploys

  • Magento and extensions cleaned up and upgraded to the latest stable versions

  • CI/CD pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys updates automatically

  • Predictable update costs through repeatable releases

Quality assurance on core flows

  • Smoke tests for cart and checkout reachability on every update

  • Integrations under active management: Buckaroo, Monta, Sendgrid, Snelstart, Channable, Trustpilot

Operational outcomes

  • Daily issues resolved; lower support load for the team

  • Calmer, predictable operations thanks to automated updates with test coverage

  • Critical integrations stay working on every new release

Results

Bullstore now runs on an up-to-date, stable Magento store with automated updates and smoke tests on the most important customer paths. The shop is more manageable, costs are predictable, and every release respects the critical integrations the business relies on daily.
