Test automation reduces the amount of manual testing required, increases the speed and capacity to perform testing, and reduces costs. It is a key part of DevOps. Without test automation, CI/CD pipelines simply generate untested product faster. Techniques such as decoupling, componentisation, unit testing, API testing and executed as part of a CI/CD pipeline can bring huge quality, productivity and cost-saving improvements. Open source test automation technologies such as Selenium can be integrated into a CI/CD pipeline, or products such as those offered by QMetry provide a combination of tools, methodologies, practices, frameworks and best practices that allow agile teams to build, manage and deploy high quality software faster, with confidence.
To manage and report on test processes, products such as Zephyr shine – providing both enterprise level test management, or fully integrated JIRA plugins.
