Using LaunchDarkly in Automated Testing

Feature flags can enhance software delivery by eliminating dependencies between teams, reducing the scope of changes to be merged and tested, minimizing the number of test environments, and enabling testing in production. They are also valuable for automated testing. LaunchDarkly offers various approaches to using feature flags in testing, including reading flag values from files, wrapping SDKs, mocking the LaunchDarkly client, setting up test conditions with the LaunchDarkly API, and utilizing Relay Proxy in offline mode. Each method requires some effort but can significantly improve the testing process.
