2. Continuous Integration
Continuous Integration aims at minimizing Integration
time to enable quicker time-to-market.
The continuous cycle of Code->Build->Test->Deploy is
followed to enable high-quality and bug-free releases.
Most integration bugs are identified and fixed on a
regular basis to avoid last-minute delays.
The working code is committed frequently so roll-back is
easy in case of major new defects.
4. Continuous Testing
By applying a lean workflow, continuous testing can be
implemented.
It is best to select continuous testing tools based on the
development language and nature of the application.
The tool will watch the code for changes and
automatically runs the tests after compilation. Then the
tools will provide feedback through a notification system.
6. Automated Continuous
Regression Testing
Regression defects might become the hardest to fix if
they are not identified and isolated at an earliest.
Continuous Regression tests are automatically run in the
background of an application to provide rapid feedback
on defects and failures.
The code is well-tested so that the number of regression
defects are minimized.
Some automated test tools capture the changes in
application to evolve and monitor effectively.
7. Continuous Performance
Testing
Even when the functionality is tested on a regular basis,
performance might be neglected leading to application
failure after deployment.
It is essential to carry out continuous performance testing
so that the application can be studied for:
Reponses times
Changes in Speed
Consistency
Changes in Reaction Time
9. Continuous Load Testing
It is important to follow continuous load testing to make
the application ready for use.
Making it an iterative process of Plan-> Test->Analyze-
>Fix will help tweaking and tuning effective.
Continuous load testing helps reuse test cases and
establish clear performance related goals.
Load testing must start with small incremental scenarios,
and the finally become one whole package.
10. Continuous Scalability Testing
Building a bridge and then testing it for extension is not very
productive. Similarly getting an application on track without
testing it as to how much more it can take is a failure.
With continuous scalability testing, you can find out and
improve the below attributes of your application:
Throughput
Network Usage
CPU Memory Usage
Continuous Scalability Testing helps reduce business risks
and quick identification of application’s performance
attributes.
11. To Summarize
While continuous integration development process can help
deliver a high-quality software in short time, it cannot be
rendered complete without implementing continuous testing.
The overall Continuous Integration process helps reduce
assumptions and assures a healthy software throughout.
With better project visibility brought in by CI, effective time-
critical business decisions can be made.
Finally when Continuous Testing based on Continuous
Integration is implemented, the confidence on the end-
product/application is high.
