The Impact of DevOps on Software QA Testing

As a group of project management techniques, DevOps emphasizes on making delivery cycles shorter by unification of development and operation. It requires practitioners to make the software developers, testing professionals, and IT operations team as a single group. When an organization implements DevOps principles, the developers, testers, and operation people work together throughout the software development lifecycle.

  2. As a group of project management techniques, DevOps emphasizes on making delivery cycles shorter by unification of development and operation. It requires practitioners to make the software developers, testing professionals, and IT operations team as a single group. When an organization implements DevOps principles, the developers, testers, and operation people work together throughout the software development lifecycle. Hence, a steady increase is being noted in the number of organizations implementing DevOps principles to avail a number of benefits – continuous software delivery, faster delivery of features/functionality, faster resolution of problems, and creating more stable operating environment. But each organization has to make several changes to the software QA process to deliver the software quickly and efficiently. Also, DevOps principles will completely change conventional software testing process.

  3. Understanding Impact of DevOps Principles on Software QA Process Preventing Defects The conventional software testing principles emphasize on detection of defects or bugs. The primary objective on testers is to identify the defects or bugs in the software. But DevOps requires testers to participate in the entire software development lifestyle. It requires QA professionals to prevent defects before the next delivery cycle starts. Hence, the testing professionals have to evaluate the software continuously and perform a variety of tests repeatedly to deliver a flawless software application.

  4. Complete Complete T Test est Automa Automation tion DevOps enable practitioners to release software on a daily basis. Some organizations even adopt DevOps principles to publish multiple new releases every day. Hence, the QA professionals need robust test automation tools to evaluate the software continuously and repeatedly. DevOps does not allow testers to plan and execute software testing manually. The practitioner has to automate the entire software QA process, and invest in robust test automation tools. The test automation tools will make it easier for testing professionals to assess the quality of software effectively without affecting its release cycles.

  5. Continuous Quality Tracking As mentioned, DevOps principles enable IT companies to publish multiple new releases per day. Hence, the testers have to evaluate the code submitted by programmers continuously and immediately. They have to repeat the required tests to identify all defects and performance issues in the software in the same delivery cycle. Also, the QA professionals have to collaborate with the developers to get the defects or performance issues fixed without any delay. The continuous quality tracking will get the defects fixed almost immediately without affecting the software’s time to market.

  6. Quality Improvement The DevOps principles require QA professionals to collaborate with developers and operation staff throughout the software development life cycle. Hence, the testers will become responsible for the overall quality of the software in addition to tracking and fixing defects. They have to frequently explore ways to enhance repeatability and predictability. Also, the testers have to suggest ways to build and deploy the software more efficiently.
