Top 10 Benefits of Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery

Image
Continuous Integration (CI) allows you to continuously integrate code into a single shared and easy to access repository. Continuous Delivery (CD) allows you to take the code stored in the repository and continuously deliver it to production. CI/CD creates a fast and effective process of getting your product to market before your competition as well as releasing new features and bug fixes to keep your current customers happy. Want some more information about CI/CD? Check  out our previous article:  Complete Introduction to CI/CD In this blog, we’re going to delve into the top 10 benefits of continuous integration and continuous delivery to help you decide if this is the right step for your organization to take. Top 10 Benefits of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery 1. Smaller Code Changes One technical advantage of continuous integration and continuous delivery is that it allows you to integrate small pieces of code at one time. These code changes ...

Apply Shift-Left Testing Approach to Continuous Testing

Image
As the demand to release quality software products in the short amount of time continues to accelerate, Agile and DevOps teams have to adopt new approaches to avoid falling behind. Continuous testing and shift-left testing are two breakthrough solutions in this modern era of software delivery. In this blog, we will walk you through these two notions, their benefits, and how to implement them into your software development life cycle (SDLC). What is Continuous Testing? Continuous testing uses a procedure of testing early and often throughout the development lifecycle. Incorporating continuous testing into your organization’s testing strategy accelerates your time-to-market but keeps (or even improves) the quality your customers expect. Additionally, continuous testing enables constant feedback for developers to fix bugs before being released to production. Imagine being able to increase your level of quality output even faster through automated tests performed at every stage...

What is End-to-End (E2E) Testing? All You Need to Know

Image
End-to-End Testing: What is it? End-to-end (E2E) testing is a technique that tests the entire software product from beginning to end to ensure the application flow behaves as expected. It defines the product’s system dependencies and ensures all integrated pieces work together as expected. The main purpose of E2E testing is to test from the end user’s experience by simulating the real user scenario and validating the system under test and its components for integration and data integrity. Software systems nowadays are complex and interconnected with numerous subsystems. If any of the subsystems fails, the whole software system could crash. This is a major risk and can be avoided by end-to-end testing. Benefits of End-to-End Testing End-to-end testing has been more reliable and widely adopted because of these following benefits: Expand test coverage Ensure the correctness of the application Reduce time to market Reduce cost Detect bugs Modern software sy...
