Why should we adopt “Continuous Testing”?
Date: 5 June 2021
More Info: https://www.tech-talks.info/global-summit
Description: Today, organisations across the globe, prefer to deliver their products much faster and bug-free. They follow several SDLC like Agile where the delivery happens in a short period and much faster. When the delivery happens at that pace, the testing assets should also be capable enough to go along that pace. Manual testing and simple automated testing concepts can’t help in these scenarios to identify the bugs in much earlier stages. We need to start thinking about advanced testing concepts of implementing the test automation strategies, like Continuous Testing to help to keep up the pace and quality of our STLS.
In this talk, Giridhar is going to take you to understand the concepts of real-time implementation of Continuous Testing and how to implement it using modern DevOps tools.
