Traditional And Agile Methodology Justifying
Their Viability In A Test Environment

• The age modern approach, automation and
  technology is brewing at an escalating speed.
  DevOps has made every approach to run under the
  supervision of Agile methodology. But is it
  really necessary and helpful for every
  organization?
• We understand that the modern approach entails
  and drives everyone to become the new-age
  automated organization. However, there prevails a
  set test environment management which are
  expanding successfully with a traditional
  approach.
• Flashback Fable of Traditional Method
• Originally, the emergence and establishment of
  traditional ways was a forced and unavoidable
  action. Probably because resources and budget
  options were yet to be discovered. All the
  operation covered under the production were
  handle viably under supervised manual efforts.
• After all the efforts are through, the
  organization shall run from Development stage,
  Testing stage to UAT stage. The end result? The
  users are finally presented with a
  fully-functional software.

• Traditional Ways in the Modern Days
• Upon observing closely, it has been discovered
  that some of the modern-age business units are
  going to traditional ways. Reason? They are
  reaping exponential benefits and driving the
  deployment process successfully.
• Whats behind the doors?

• A Better Access to Environments
• For every team member of test environment
  management, accessibility to environments tops in
  the priority list. The access can be commanded
  from anywhere and at anytime of the day. On top
  of that the team is simultaneously working on the
  project. So a fewer set of environments makes the
  hunt easy without any added efforts.
• The statistics according to world report 2016-17
  speaks for itself. The chart shows that over 28
  of testing is conducted on the wheels of
  traditional vehicle. While the permanent set of
  environments are only a few of them, rest of the
  environments are temporary. Only to attend those
  temporary environments, organization uses test
  environment management tools are put to action.
• The end? Well, yes the justified version of
  traditional method ends here. Probably because
  temporary environments and error free data
  collection is more viable in a small
  organization.

• New-Age, New Technology
• The upper section spoke all in favour of the
  remote approach. In simple words, it implies on
  the idea Old is Gold. The Agile technology
  shall defy the statement with Everything that
  glitters is not Gold.
• Big multinationals have offices and cabins
  designed with subsequent distances between them.
  As far as the traditional ways are concerned, the
  manual efforts becomes indeed quite tiresome. So
  in the haste of saving some resources, one might
  lose the productivity of the test environment
  management team.

• The Efficiency of Agile Testing
• As business units are reaching larger markets
  each day, the production and deployment structure
  becomes complex. Due to productivity and software
  safety the complex structure needs quick and
  efficient resolution.
• With the assistance of few components, Agile is
  able to manage and untangle the structure. The
  components are as follows
• Controlling the process through visuals
• Consumers and testing team already Co-located
• Development and Testing hand-in-hand
• Leadership over Control.
• Test environment management tools play a major
  role in deploying continuous development and
  delivery of software. As the softwares are put to
  market in huge number, the concept on increased
  and timely production is not just a trend the but
  the ultimate need.
