How do I test timers before going live?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm looking to implement countdown timers for my promotional campaigns, but I'm worried about potential technical glitches or user experience issues. I need a comprehensive strategy to thoroughly test these timers before launching them live on my website. My main concerns include ensuring accuracy, responsiveness across devices, and maintaining a seamless customer experience. What are the most effective methods to validate countdown timer functionality and performance prior to full deployment?
