How can you determine the best test environment?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

A test environment is a setup of software and hardware that allows you to execute test cases and verify the functionality, performance, and security of your application under different conditions. Choosing the best test environment for your project is crucial to ensure the quality and reliability of your software before releasing it to the end-users.

1 Scope of testing

The first factor to consider is the scope of your testing. What are the objectives, requirements, and specifications of your testing? What types of testing do you need to perform, such as functional, non-functional, integration, regression, or user acceptance testing? How many test cases do you have and how complex are they? The scope of your testing will help you define the features, functionalities, and configurations of your test environment.

According to the article, planning the testing environment accordingly before our tests begin would be optimal; as mentioned, functional and non-functional requirements are separate things, and it would be the same for the test environments. Our Test plan must include those test environments and the data required; in a perfect world, we should have multiple test environments every sprint with the specific data.

Test Environment health is the deciding factor for the application quality. We need to mimic all the configurations from the PROD environment to carry testing without any issues. Define the Scope of testing with different test environments like feature testing carried in QA environment and Integration/System Testing with Model Office/Staging environment. Dedicated environment for Non functional testing to mimic the load.

2 Availability of resources

The second factor to consider is the availability of your resources. What are the budget, time, and personnel constraints of your project? How much hardware, software, and network resources do you need to create and maintain your test environment? How easy or difficult is it to access, update, and troubleshoot your test environment? The availability of your resources will help you determine the feasibility, scalability, and sustainability of your test environment.

3 Compatibility with production

The third factor to consider is the compatibility of your test environment with the production environment. How similar or different are the two environments in terms of hardware, software, network, data, and user behavior? How well can your test environment mimic the real-world conditions and scenarios that your application will face in the production environment? The compatibility of your test environment with the production environment will help you measure the accuracy, validity, and relevance of your test results.

I would say that not only production should be taken in consideration. Let's take as example the Salesforce: they provide different instances(types) of environments like: sandbox, partial sandbox, dev instance. So might be useful to look overall at all possible options of building the environment

4 Risks and challenges

The fourth factor to consider is the risks and challenges of your test environment. What are the potential issues, errors, or failures that could affect your test environment and your testing process? How can you prevent, detect, or resolve them? How can you ensure the security, integrity, and confidentiality of your test environment and your test data? The risks and challenges of your test environment will help you plan, monitor, and control your testing activities.

5 Feedback and improvement

The fifth factor to consider is the feedback and improvement of your test environment. How can you collect, analyze, and report the data and metrics from your test environment and your testing process? How can you use the feedback to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of your test environment and your testing process? How can you improve your test environment and your testing process based on the feedback? The feedback and improvement of your test environment will help you optimize your testing performance and quality.

6 Best practices and standards

The sixth factor to consider is the best practices and standards of your test environment. What are the industry norms, guidelines, and benchmarks for creating and managing a test environment? What are the best tools, techniques, and methods for setting up, running, and maintaining a test environment? What are the quality assurance principles, policies, and procedures that govern your test environment and your testing process? The best practices and standards of your test environment will help you align your testing goals and expectations with the best practices and standards of your industry and your organization.
