# n8n production readiness and test pack

Ops Automators | Updated September 7, 2026

A planning worksheet, not an importable workflow. Record the n8n version and environment under test. Use synthetic records and disable real outbound effects during recovery exercises.

## Worked example

| Check / test | Expected result | Environment / version | Owner | Observed result | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Runtime owner | Primary and backup assigned |  |  |  |  |
| D-104 normal event | One linked output |  |  |  |  |
| D-104 duplicate event | No additional output |  |  |  |  |
| Missing required field | Assigned exception; no write |  |  |  |  |
| Write completed but reply lost | Existing output reconciled before retry |  |  |  |  |
| Trigger delivery absent | Independent input reconciliation detects gap |  |  |  |  |
| Stop procedure | Affected processing paused safely |  |  |  |  |
| Restore exercise if self-hosted | Data and required credentials recover in isolation |  |  |  |  |
