While Digitization of services is definitely adding value for businesses, it is also equally intensifying the need for constant vigilance and software testing. The concept of Continuous Testing has emerged from the need to introduce software testing right at the beginning of the software development cycle, and to keep the software updated for frequent releases. Most importantly, enterprises enable the idea of testing and quality right from the beginning instead of delivering it as an after-thought.<\/p>\n

Businesses are sensing the impact of reaching faster to the market and catching up with the consumer demands. Continuous Testing helps businesses deliver faster and also ensures quality. It entails a process to execute automated tests as a part of the software delivery pipeline to collate the required feedback on the business risks from the application or software.<\/p>\n

Ensuring quality with speed is critical for businesses today, and Continuous Testing enables the process. One of the key highlights of the approach is that Testing begins right from the beginning of the development cycle.<\/p>\n

Applications are getting complex and are being upgraded in real-time without incurring any downtime, to avoid any disruption in consumer experience. This makes the overall application development and maintenance process absolutely tricky. Continuous Testing enables and empowers teams to roll out applications and application updates in real-time with confidence.<\/p>\n

In addition, new and emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, BlockChain, Augmented \/ Virtual Reality (AR & VR), and IoT are changing the overall software development scenario. While speed is key, ensuring the right consumer experience is business-critical. Hence, businesses need to check their delivery constantly for confirming seamless launches. One small glitch can bring down the product and brand\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n

Continuous Testing and Continuous Integration go hand-in-hand to ensure that code development is faster and seamless. Nevertheless, there are some key benefits of Continuous Testing that cannot be missed out.<\/p>\n
