Ensure Effective Continuous Testing in DevOps

White Papers

The advent of DevOps has drastically transformed new product and service development. At the very core of DevOps is continuous testing (CT). As organizations adopt the DevOps methodology, the testing team must hit the ground running, to deliver effective CT, and avoid being a bottleneck to their enterprise’s goals and objectives, both short and long term. An optimized test automation and lab operations (Lab Ops) strategy is a critical element of effective CT. It represents a make or break factor in a test organization’s value and capability to support the enterprise’s key objectives in the marketplace. Once it is decided that a testing organization is transitioning to DevOps, how do the test engineers participate effectively as part of the DevOps team? This white paper examines strategies to support continuous testing objectives in DevOps with Lab Ops, and how the optimal testing efficiencies provided by Lab Ops promote more intelligence-led testing to achieve speed, quality and cost imperatives.
