Satyanarayana's Tips for Making an Easy Test Automation Strategy
DevOps is a term to describe the practices of uniting software development and IT operations. Its purpose is to reduce the lifespan of systems development and deliver continuously with great quality in software. It enhances the visibility of the product and makes a culture of trust through QA and development teams.
DevOps is been chosen by several organizations to meet their requirement. This methodology can also bring financial advantage with expanded cooperation and efficient processes. The main purpose of this test automation is to have quality products faster. For a firm looking for DevOps, one needs to be aware of the correct ways to separate the process of testing from QA and development team.
Continuous Testing Strategy
In the DevOps environment, continuous testing includes tools and tasks enabling companies to discover more bugs allowing QA teams to resolve small problems or mistakes before a rise in severity. Here are some tips to include in the testing strategy:
1. Continual Integration
The development team needs to upload code on a common repository. QA teams execute automated testing to bring attention to bugs at the primary stage in the development stage.
2. Unit Testing
It enables detecting defects at an early stage and makes sure of the individual performance of different ocde units.
3. Performance Testing
It helps measure the credibility, speed, and uptime of the product. It also calculates the performance metrics of the application.
4. Functional and Integration Testing
Integration testing merges the comparable elements of the application to where they are verified together. Talking of functional testing, application features are checked against the expectations of the user.
5. Acceptance Testing
It also makes sure that business requirements are fulfilling all the requirements of the business. It sheds light on utilized features and comprises test execution, communication, and sharing reports.
6. Chaos Testing
QA team brings chaos in the staging and production atmosphere. It tells about the way the app will respond to some factors that are not even known. Chaos testing reveals problems in infrastructure that would not have been noticed otherwise. It develops teams for actual situations when they take place in a production environment.
7. Smoke Testing
QA teams examine the major elements and after then verify them.
8. Continuous Delivery
Continuous delivery occurs after ongoing testing. When the code works in a common repository with no interference, it is dispatched for production more frequently and with not many bugs. Applying the appropriate test automation technology to improve quality and sent quickly.
