How to obtain test coverage and faster release cycles

Why IT organizations struggling when they are growing big?

-Testing is anymore simpler. Simple testing is not enough to make sure everything works fine.

-Different types of testing need to conduct to make sure that each stage is getting proper results for both functional and non-functional testing (security, accessibility, penetration, stress, load, performance,..)

-Unit Testing, Build Verification Testing, Smoke Testing, Functional Testing, Integration Testing, Regression Testing, System Testing, End to End Testing, Business Acceptance Testing, User Acceptance Testing, Production Acceptance Testing, …

-Testing gets bigger, complex, more scenarios, permutation and combinations, and wide variety of testing need to be conducted either on multiple devices, browsers, language, and so on

-It cannot be drive by adhoc, random or some level of testing

-To conduct different testing and testing phases, it requires more time resource and cost                                                                                            

-Challenge here is how can we make sure test coverage is done appropriately when its build fast & product getting bigger to achieve test coverage and quick release to save time resource and cost

How can we do this? Test Coverage and Quality is not the same

-Quality is across the cross functional team right from the requirement, coding, testing techniques and so forth. Each team has roles & responsibilities in their respective area to build the Quality

If you want to scale it, you need to be QC/QA in place with more focus on Process, Tools which use less resource, save time, cost and achieve speed also scale whenever we want and faster manner.

-More Structured, Organized, Managed

-Strategy, Plan, Estimation, Mapping

-Standards, Process, Methodologies, Compliances, Metrics, Matrix, Dashboard & Audits

-Testing techniques suited for your product

-Test Early, Frequently & Continuous

-Tool to leverage the task

-Automation & CI/CD

-Understand and Define Your Release Process

-Create Regular Release Cycles

-Automate and Standardize as Much as You Can

-Build Out and Optimize Your Delivery Infrastructure

-Continuous testing, Continuous improvement, New & creative innovations

Benefit is making sure your product is more quality user friendly robust attained good test coverage and thus have confidence to release into production much faster whenever there is a change in code either through bug fix, new feature regression is conducted and no impact on existing product, new code works fine, and no new defects introduced to have a faster release cycle.
