Continuous Testing (CT) is the process of testing early, testing often, testing comprehensively and using automation to achieve cohesive release goals. In an ideal Continuous Testing scenario, the release candidate is continuously moving from Development to Testing to Deployment.
Continuous Testing provides the means to gain quick feedback on the business risks related with a release candidate, using automation. It helps dev teams to meet business goals and managers to make informed decisions to optimize the value of a release. However, Continuous Testing is not just ‘more test automation’.
Continuous testing relies on test automation to meet the continuous delivery goals. Execution of tests is run through the testing tools automatically following code integration.
Our Agile software developers focus on writing the quality code, and to excel in that, they test the software as much as they can and as early as possible. DevOps allows early testing which helps in fixing any problems the developers find right away in the process. As a result, Automated Regression Testing becomes a common practice here.
