Platforms and tools for continuous testing, quality, security, and feedback
Platforms and tools for continuous testing, quality, security, and feedback, although distinct in their primary focus, are interrelated and often overlap in practice. The following sections explain how they can be distinguished and how they complement each other.
Continuous testing platforms and tools
Continuous testing is distinguished by its focus on automated testing to validate that software meets the pass criteria for each test case, as it is developed and delivered. It’s iterative and integrated into the development pipeline.
- Tools and tool platforms: This includes automated testing tools that cover all types of testing including unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and performance testing.
- Complements: It ensures that new features and changes do not introduce regressions, by identifying defects early. Continuous feedback is incorporated by integrating user and stakeholder...
