Author : karanpatil patil | Published On : 27 Apr 2024

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment, a.k.a CI/CD, aim to provide usable software to users, allowing for insightful, real-world feedback. To remain competitive, several businesses have embraced DevOps. However, the quality of software should never be compromised to meet a deadline. The CI/CD pipeline automation testing ensures requirements compliance and reduces manual testing's expenses and time.

In this blog, we examine the critical function of automation testing in CI/CD and how it improves software quality and helps the unrelenting pursuit of more rapid, trustworthy releases.

While creating automated tests demands initial time and effort, the benefits of swift feedback and clear code deployability quickly outweigh the investment. Remember, building a test suite is an ongoing process, requiring maintenance to stay relevant and effective. Continuously improving your tests, expanding coverage for new features, and incorporating insights from exploratory testing all contribute to an efficient test suite. Assess its performance and consider reordering or breaking down tasks for quicker feedback.

CI/CD tools for automation testing offer valuable metrics for optimizing your pipeline, but remember that test coverage isn't the end goal; it's regularly delivering functional software to users.
