IMPROVE DEVOPS
With DevOps, there are a multitude of challenges for organisations and teams to ensure software meets the required quality levels.
By updating testing and quality assurance practices, there are huge benefits that can be realised.
Delivering software in smaller, highly prioritised work packages maximises the value to the customer in the shortest time possible.
However, this way of working creates new difficulties such as customer expectations changing, difficulties with new technologies, new requirements and changing priorities all on a regular basis. All of which present challenges to testing and quality assurance.
This iterative way of working presents a real challenge when it comes to regression testing. Not only do teams need to test the new functionality from the latest sprint, but they also need to test previous sprints. Test automation is the only real solution but is problematic in smaller project teams with less testing resource.
