ATF is usually done in QA and Test instance and not done in production

Hi @J_31 

can atf be moved to prod? --> 

You can move it to production, but it should not be used in production. ATF is intended for use only in QA or testing environments.

how to maintain and keep the tests upto date --> 

We use ATF for standard processes, and if the flow of these processes changes, the ATF test cases need to be updated. In my project, we create a task within the story for test case updates, which is assigned to the QA team. The team then reviews whether the story requires changes to the already created test cases.

how sprint testing or sdlc testing is done in your  org

- Sprint testing is done manually in my account unless regression testing is required. Since multiple stories are included in a sprint, it's uncertain whether the ATF will work, so sprint testing is performed manually. However, if necessary, we update previous test cases.

Thanks for the response Atul 

Not going to run the ATF in prod will set the properties off 

it’s hard to maintain the test in lower env as each time we clone it’s giving us hard time to save all..
