Tag flows by business impact. Revenue paths run on every PR. Lower-impact flows can run nightly or report without blocking.
“I deployed a new checkout flow on Friday afternoon at 4:47 PM. After 6 minutes Slack exploded. Payment processing broke and customers couldn't complete purchases.”

“I tried to buy your product three times. Your site kept failing. I went to your competitor instead.”

Average payment incident costs $12K+ in failed transactions
Most testing tools do not differentiate execution priority by business impact
Engineers waste triage time on low-impact failures while high-impact ones ship
Test execution is all-or-nothing today. Run the full suite or don't. Every failure gets the same red flag regardless of business impact.
A flaky test on the About page creates the same CI alert as a genuine checkout regression. Engineers waste triage time on noise while critical bugs escape.
Datadog has 'critical' synthetic monitors but does not tie them to PR-level testing. Teams still have to express which flows block PRs and which stay informational.
CI runs 200 tests. 8 fail. Engineer investigates: 4 flakes on the marketing site, 2 on settings, 1 on admin, 1 on checkout. The checkout failure is at line 47 of the report. Engineer fixes the easy ones first. The checkout regression ships to production. $8K lost before anyone notices.
Same 8 failures. Zerocheck surfaces blocking critical results first: 'CHECKOUT: 1 failure. Investigate immediately.' Non-blocking approved failures stay visible without failing the PR status. Engineer sees the checkout issue in 30 seconds, fixes before merge. Revenue protected.
Mark which customer paths are allowed to stop a release
Keep lower-risk failures visible without burying revenue-impacting ones
Keep important flows monitored after merge
Surface critical results first, not alphabetically
Other tools document their own platform controls. Zerocheck produces JSON evidence from your executed application tests.
Get coverage on the flows customers will notice when they break, without turning testing into a quarter-long infrastructure project.
Guard the only code path where a bug is measured in lost dollars per minute.
A checkout failure should block the merge. A tooltip glitch can run on a quieter schedule.
