Continuous testing with devops

Posted By : Sakshi Jain | 26-Dec-2017

DevOps is a copiousness of agile application development methodology focus on communication, participation, and integration amongst various entrepreneur in the software development process, i.e. evolution, QA, and operations. The two key features of DevOps practice are regular Integration & Continuous Dispensation.

 

Regular Integration is a key feature of agile practice which insures that software is built and tested continuously. Developers release bug-fixes rapidly. This process requires each member of a team to concatenate their work repeatedly on a daily base. Each check-in is calibrated by an automated build which permits early make out of defects. Regular Integration examines faults early in the development state so defects are less sophisticated, and easy to solve. Continuous Integration tools should be employed in a DevOps cycle.

Continuous Dispensation, is the concept that takes Regular Integration to the forthcoming level and extends agile exercises beyond evolution in a DevOps cycle. Continuous Dispensation allows software to adapt changes compatible to user feedback, modifications in business strategy and switch in the market. Successful Continuous Dispensation process leads to detract iterations, reduce risks, minimize costs and accelerated time to an outlet by frequent discharge.

Importance of Continual Testing
Testing complex applications and products is a big challenge to keep faith high-quality software are released at fast-track speed.Continuous Testing plays a crucial role in Continuous Delivery. Continual Testing requires automated end-to-end testing resolution that integrates current development processes until excluding errors and enabling continuity ubiquitously SDLC.

DevOps requires everyone to give his contribution across the value chain as and whenever required. An engineer can configure deployments, Quality Assurance engineers can configure automation test scripts and test cases, and developer engineers can link test cases to the Quality Assurance repository.

Below is the list of responsibilities specific team member needs to follow:

  • Development teams should initiate Continuous Testing with testing execution and test the functionality of the code that developers developed. They may use Selenium tool for testing which is an open source tool. Testing should include unit, integration, API and regression testing.

  • DevOps teams should configure a Continuous Integration environment to use the suitable tests. Developer engineers receive an automatic intimation in whenever any build get failed. They need to finish the Regular Integration process as quick as possible.

  • Quality Assurance test engineers should ensure that test cases run in side by side in order to keep the process motile.

  • Each and every deployment needs to clear an acceptance test on the deployment server.
