DevOps practices can require software to be released fast, sometimes with multiple deployments throughout the day. This is critical to DevOps, and to accomplish it, developers must test in minutes to determine if software will move forward, be sent back to the drawing board or canned altogether. Identifying and correcting bugs prior to production is essential to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and testing should play a part in all processes.
During the test phase, integrating automated testing when possible is critical, with the choice of approach tailored to the specific application’s structure. This could involve focusing on public methods for APIs, verifying code and components or implementing comprehensive end-to-end (E2E) assessments. Emphasizing a thorough testing process ensures all aspects, such as units or methods, and integration between internal system components and frontend and backend parts.
