Defining a continuous testing strategy
Continuous testing is both a practice and a mindset. Developers and quality assurance specialists initiate the practice of continuous testing in the devops CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous development) pipeline, triggering a list of automated tests that run with every build and delivery. The mindset comes when developers, engineers, and quality assurance specialists collaborate on testing strategies and implementations.
This collaboration is critically important because many technology organizations do not adequately fund, dedicate resources, or schedule time for adequate testing. That means the development organization must establish a testing strategy that defines an optimal focus, implementation strategy, and ongoing support functions that fit within constraints.
