Enable Continuous Delivery with Continuous Testing - Parasoft

1
Continuous Testing for DevOps Evolving From
Automated to Continuous
2
DevOps is disrupting the SDLC
The business demand for differentiable software
is driving the evolution of iterative/agile
development
DevOps is enabling the enterprise to release
innovative software faster and more frequently
Automated testing techniques of the past are no
longer sufficient for todays process demands
The new software paradigm requires the business
to define and establish automated quality gates
that continuously mitigate the risk of business
failure
3
DevOps is a continuous improvement mindset
Speeding up the conveyor belt does not yield
better results
4
Continuous Testing mitigates business risk
Systematic, centralized decision making to factor
business risk into SDLC
Safety net to allow developers to bring
innovations to market faster
Why Continuous Testing?
A feedback system for better trade-off decisions
between release scope, time and quality
5
Continuous Testing builds on automation
Not more automation, better automation
Business and development leaders agree upon and
automate the mitigation of risks throughout the
SDLC
Continuous Testing
Both business and technical managers make better
trade-off decisions between release scope, time
and quality
Organizations evolve from just measuring product
quality to measuring the process effectiveness
6
Continuous Testing monitors the process

Continuous Testing enables continuous improvement

• Continuous Testing focuses on a comprehensive
  view of business risk
• Continuous Testing provides a workflow for
  prioritizing fixes and quality improvements, and
  preventing recurrence, according to business risk
  and business priorities

Continuous Testing Quality product and process
Automated Testing provides the sensors
(detection processes)

• Fixing defects is the expected outcome
• Continuous Testing identifies opportunities for
  defect prevention
• Continuous Testing prevents a release candidate
  from progressing to the next stage of the release
  cycle

Continuous Testing addresses the broader challenge
Continuous Testing addresses the broader challenge

• Fix the product

• Optimize the process (improve the effectiveness
  of the sensors)

Continuously refine the process in light of
business risks as well as software quality

How Continuous Testing moves DevOps beyond
automation
Quality gates Organizations can automatically
promote software through quality gates when
business expectations have been met
Real-time feedback from
Business Stakeholder
Developer
Customer Support

Defects are eliminated at the point that they are
easiest to fix
Objective assessment and go/no go
Continuous measurements mean continuous
refinement of the process

Elements of Continuous Testing
Continuous Testing re-positions the question from
are you done testing? to is the level of risk
understood and accepted?
