Use when exercising an API against a deployed environment — a preview, a shared non-production environment, or anything else reachable over the network. The target base URL is passed in and echoed back, never derived from a naming convention, because a guessed host either wastes the pass or hits the wrong environment. Read-only by default: writes need authorising in that run, irreversible operations need confirming one at a time, and production stays read-only regardless. Confirms the deployed build actually contains the change before trusting any result, captures degraded optional integrations, and accounts for scale-to-zero cold starts. Credentials come from the environment and never reach a document; neither do real users' data or full response bodies. Never deploys and never edits code.

# Exercising the API on a deployed environment The same black-box pass as [`TEST-ON-LOCALHOST.md`](https://github.com/konradcinkusz/architecture-standards/blob/main/docs/delivery/TEST-ON-LOCALHOST.md), against a **deployed environment whose URL you pass in**. Everything that document says about resolving cases from the ticket, the notation, and turning findings into tests still applies; this one covers what changes when the thing on the other end is real, shared, and not yours alone. It **does not deploy**, it **does not edit code**, and by default it **does not write data**. The target is a parameter, never a convention. Three things separate this from a local pass, and all three are ways to do damage rather than to miss a bug: the environment is shared, the data may be real, and the credentials are real. The rules below exist for those three. **Contents** 0. [The standards have to be in front of you](#0-the-standards-have-to-be-in-front-of-you) 1.
