Enable Continuous Delivery with Continuous Testing-Parasoft

Download the whitepaper from http://alm.parasoft.com/continuous-testing-devops Traditionally, organizations have taken a bottom-up approach to testing, adding incremental tests for new functionality. While this will always be required, the mindset needs to shift to embrace both a bottom-up and a top-down approach. Take a look at this presentation to understand how with a sharp focus on DevOps and a comprehensive suite of software development solutions, Parasoft reduces the time, effort and cost of delivery.

  1. Continuous Testing for DevOps: Evolving From Automated to Continuous

  2. DevOpsis disrupting the SDLC The business demand for differentiable software is driving the evolution of iterative/agile development DevOps is enabling the enterprise to release innovative software faster and more frequently Automated testing techniques of the past are no longer sufficient for today’s process demands The new software paradigm requires the business to define and establish automated quality gates that continuously mitigate the risk of business failure

  3. DevOps is a continuous improvement mindset Speeding up the conveyor belt does not yield better results… Modern DevOps must embrace systematic process improvement— including testing

  4. Continuous Testing mitigates business risk Systematic, centralized decision making to factor business risk into SDLC Safety net to allow developers to bring innovations to market faster Why Continuous Testing? A feedback system for better trade-off decisions between release scope, time and quality

  5. Continuous Testing builds on automation Not more automation, better automation Business and development leaders agree upon and automate the mitigation of risks throughout the SDLC Continuous Testing Both business and technical managers make better trade-off decisions between release scope, time and quality Organizations evolve from just measuring product quality to measuring the process effectiveness

  6. Continuous Testing monitors the process Continuous Testing Continuous Integration Continuous Deployment Continuous Release Continuous Delivery Continuous Testing enables continuous improvement • Continuous Testing focuses on a comprehensive view of business risk • Continuous Testing provides a workflow for prioritizing fixes and quality improvements, and preventing recurrence, according to business risk and business priorities

  7. Continuous Testing: Quality product and process Automated Testing provides the “sensors” (detection processes) • Fixing defects is the expected outcome • Continuous Testing identifies opportunities for defect prevention • Continuous Testing prevents a release candidate from progressing to the next stage of the release cycle Continuous Testing addresses the broader challenge Continuous Testing addresses the broader challenge • Fix the product • Fix the product • Optimize the process (improve the effectiveness of the “sensors”) • Optimize the process (improve the effectiveness of the “sensors”) Continuously refine the process in light of business risks as well as software quality Continuously refine the process in light of business risks as well as software quality

  8. How Continuous Testing moves DevOps beyond automation Quality gates: Organizations can automatically promote software through quality gates when business expectations have been met Real-time feedback from Business Stakeholder Business Stakeholder Developer Developer Customer Support Customer Support Feature Release SoftwareFeature Defects are eliminated at the point that they are easiest to fix Objective assessment and go/no go Continuous measurements mean continuous refinement of the process

  9. Elements of Continuous Testing Continuous Testing re-positions the question from “are you done testing?” to “is the level of risk understood and accepted?” Process improvementopportunities Risk Assessment Ensure access to complete test environments Define actionablepractices Test Environment Access Policy Analysis Continuous Testing Expand test coverage and measure test effectiveness Connect functional with non-functional requirements Test Optimization Requirements Traceability Advanced Analysis Automate defect prevention andPolicy measurement
