DevOps has changed the game in almost every aspect of testing: who, what, when, where and even why.
Ashley: I’m just gonna jump in and say – there’s another factor that actually works to our benefit and that is not only to speed through automation and DevOps process, but contemporary software architectures, containerized micro-services, service mesh – we’re releasing smaller bits of code in encapsulated forms, which means, you know, we’re not testing monolithic applications all the time anymore so, we’re not having to run two weeks’ worth of tests just to get one pass through.
And the other things I’m starting to see from some of the end user teams we talk to is this real focus on culture – you know, a continuous quality culture – and seeing that hand in hand as part of the testing movement and again, _____ back to security – you know, the security first culture went hand in hand with that whole emphasis on security so, similarly, the continuous quality culture is starting to be something that – like, the really high performing teas we see pay a lot of attention to.
So, that adds complexity after complexity in testing, and I do think, in the future, testing – you know, a lot of us, like Ben said, to his point, we have to push testing up – you know, shift left, move it far left as we can.
