The word DevOps had been formed by combining the
development and operations functions. It is not a technology, rather an IT
culture. It emphasizes ways in which development, operations and testing can
collaborate more effectively. DevOps can be defined by four key activities:
- Collaborative
Development
- Continuous
Integration and Continuous Testing
- Continuous
Release and Deployment
- Continuous
Monitoring
DevOps, to some extent, reduces the need for
testing and testing resources. However, this does not imply that DevOps does
not require testing. What really happens in DevOps Testing is that it brings testing into
the mainstream of development process and avoids the problems created by having
the testing left to the end of the cycle which causes release delays and
quality issues.
Before code integration, the developers need to
test their code. One of the most integral parts of the DevOps process is the
regular release or the continuous deployment of the working software. The only
way to support this rapid cadence of releases is through automated testing.
Faster release cycles put a significant pressure on manual testing. This
problem can be resolved through automated testing of the critical aspects.
