Quality Assurance and Testing

QA and Testing

Quality Assurance (QA) plays a pivotal role in the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, ensuring that software is delivered with high quality and reliability. In a CI/CD environment, automated testing is integral to maintaining code quality and accelerating the development and deployment process.

Implementing an effective automated testing strategy is crucial for ensuring software quality and accelerating development cycles. Here are some key steps that we take for our applications:

• Define Clear Objectives: At Exuber, we ensure that every scenario is documented very clearly with expected results. A detailed testing plan is prepared for the same.
• Robust Framework: In the initial part of this phase, we perform manual testing for each of these scenarios and the Test results are documented. We then plan for automated testing which is a crucial step in this process, as it enables the execution of tests without manual intervention. Automated testing, including unit testing, integration testing and end-to-end tests, ensure that new code changes do not introduce regressions or break existing functionality.
• Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment: Integrate automated tests into your CI/CD pipeline to ensure that tests are run automatically with every code change. The code that is developed for each of the scenarios runs against each minute change that has been included in the application. This helps in early detection of defects and maintains code quality. An automated test can then be replicated across different browsers and environments.
• Regular Maintenance: Automated tests require regular updates to stay relevant. Ensure that your test scripts are maintained and updated as the application evolves. Automated testing is used every time there is a new feature added or an existing feature is tweaked in the application. We have noticed a few times that bugs that were not previously detected during the manual test phase become visible during the automated testing.
• Training and Collaboration: At Exuber, we use cloud platform based automated testing using browser stack for seamless testing across different locations and across different browsers.

The development team is engaged at an early stage in the selection of the tools and best practices. Collaboration between developers, testers and other stakeholders helps to ensure a cohesive approach to automated testing.

By integrating QA best practices into each project, we are able to achieve faster release cycles, higher code quality, and improved cohesion among the project team. This leads to more reliable software and a better user experience.
