# Staging
These are recommendations. The team is free to do what they deem best.

Overarching principle:
* *Staging is where you validate the known-unknowns of your systems*
* Known-unknowns:
	* interactions between various systems and edge cases
	* possible to write unit tests, but difficult, especially when UIs are involved 
* Unknown-unknowns:
	* e.g. traffic patterns, traffic loads etc.
