With all these changes, testing is now getting introduced much earlier in the development phase. Practices like automation at every stage, continuous integration – CI, continuous deployment \u2013 CD, have now become the need of the hour.<\/p>\n
Automation is the Need of the Hour<\/h2>\n
With time, the need for getting quickly to the market has enforced test automation to be included in the early stages of a development process. More and more organizations are realizing the importance of writing test code or scripts similar to that of writing development codes. Different frameworks and tools are also getting introduced so that testers can get maximum leverage. This entire process of test automation has shortened the cycle of regression testing, making the entire flow of CI, CD, and DevOps extremely efficient.<\/p>\n
Why an Integrated Testing Solution?<\/h2>\n
An Integrated Test Management framework<\/strong><\/a> equipped with multi-tool integration capabilities can support continuous integration, automated triggering of build, automated testing<\/strong><\/a> and results reporting, ensuring continuous delivery, and rapid deployment practices \u2013 the road maps to achieve DevOps.<\/p>\n A typical Integrated Testing platform<\/strong><\/a> should provide the following major advantages to the entire development process of the organization.<\/p>\n An organization uses ITSM tool for managing support tickets submitted by customers. On Ticket submission, they get automatically passed to an ALM tool for internal development as User Stories or Defects. On allotting to a sprint, developers and testers view them from IDE, SCM and test tool. Once coding is complete and codes get checked in at an SCM tool, an automatic build gets triggered using Build tool. Upon successful completion of the build, it can be automatically deployed using deployment tool and automated tests can be executed through a test automation tool. Test results can be captured and linked to the test cases. Defects get raised in a defect tracking tool for those failed test cases can be integrated through an integration hub.<\/p>\n While connected to an integrated testing platform<\/strong><\/a>, users get complete visibility of test related records and their interrelationships from within their own tools, thus achieving CI and CD. Developers, testers and help desk manager get complete traceability of the development artifacts as well as an automatic update for any internal progresses by other teams \u2013 thus providing real-time collaboration among cross-functional teams.<\/p>\n Save<\/span><\/p>\n Save<\/span><\/p>\n Request for Free Live Product Demo<\/strong> from our Engineers!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
