How to Automate Continuous Testing for CI/CD

Running Automated Regression, Integration, and Release Tests Across the Delivery Pipeline

Continuous testing (CT) for continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) requires automated execution of repeatable test suites across every stage of the software delivery pipeline — from code commit through build, integration, regression, and deployment. The process depends on three infrastructure layers: lab as a service (LaaS) to manage physical and virtual test resources, test as a service (TaaS) to author and orchestrate test campaigns, and a CI framework to trigger test cycles on each build.

A functional CT pipeline runs multiple test tiers in sequence. Pre-flight tests validate individual commits. CI build tests run against each merged change. Integration tests verify end-to-end behavior across network functions. Nightly regressions execute the full suite. Release acceptance tests confirm deployment readiness. Each tier draws from modular, reusable test cases that scale elastically based on change scope and available execution windows. Lab management provides topology modeling, automated switching for test-set reconfiguration, resource reservation across distributed teams, and 24/7 unattended execution. Test automation handles case abstraction for reuse across product variations and unified reporting for root cause analysis.

Automation Platform for CI/CD Continuous Testing

Continuous testing for CI/CD requires integrated lab management, test authoring, and pipeline orchestration. The Keysight lab and test automation platform consolidates lab resources, automates topology provisioning, and executes test campaigns across build, integration, nightly, and release cycles with REST API integration into CI/CD frameworks.
