Today\u2019s business landscape can be summarized in two words: rapid change. Sales teams need deployment of product on the same day. You don\u2019t deploy \u2013 you lose market share. Slow development processes become outdated quickly as the market becomes more and more Agile-centric, more demanding. The need (and the solution for the problem) is to have automated solutions rather than the slow, unreliable manual processes. Continuous deployment that leads to continuous delivery requires automation of testing processes. There in lies the crucial need for continuous testing.<\/p>\n
The age of Agile<\/strong><\/p>\n Today\u2019s continuous delivery requirements make functioning in an Agile development a necessity. In a continuous delivery mode, test and development teams collaborate efficiently and cut down manual methods while streamlining the process with automation, thereby ensuring frequent, timely releases. But to gain the most from your continuous delivery mode, you need to make a serious investment in continuous testing.<\/p>\n Why should we invest in Continuous Testing?<\/strong><\/p>\n Without investing in continuous testing, a continuous delivery model will just remain an unfulfilled requirement. Continuous testing is basically the practice of test-first \u2013 your code snippet, the whole deployment package, a particular scenario \u2013 whatever that you need to provide. Continuous testing helps you save in terms of production costs as it\u2019s a known fact that a bug caught during the production phase might prove to be ten times costlier than the one caught during the (continuous) testing phase itself. That sure means a lot of savings!<\/p>\n A deeper look at how Continuous Testing strengthens Continuous Delivery<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s go through how the right implementation of continuous testing<\/a> in continuous delivery can benefit your delivery pipeline.<\/p>\n Best Practices<\/strong><\/p>\n Here\u2019s some insight into the best practices for continuous testing in continuous delivery:<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n To sum up in short, for continuous deployments and continuous delivery to be successful, a proper environment for continuous testing must be set up.<\/p>\n Cigniti Technologies has been at the forefront in providing Agile Testing Services<\/a> for continuous delivery.
