End-to-end testing
The SDK is exercised end-to-end against production Autodesk Forma by the
Forma SDK test harness — an
embedded-view extension that calls every method of every SDK API set. It is driven by an hourly
Checkly browser monitor in the checkly/ sub-project (one
check per SDK API section, run over a postMessage bridge inside real Forma), so a regression in any
SDK call surfaces as a failed check. See checkly/README.md for details.
For the full verification runbook — including how to test an unreleased local change against
a locally-built harness — see TESTING.md.
