To put it in simple words, it’s an action where developers are integrating code into a shared repository preferably, multiple times per day with the goal of finding errors quickly, providing fast feedback on the quality of the code, and executing an automated build to show the current state of the system. Continuous testing or automated testing is not part of CI but it’s usually paired together in order to discover the presence of bugs…

What is Risk-based Testing? As the name suggests, Risk-based Testing is a form of software testing that is based on risks. Since the risk is a potentially negative outcome of a functionality, Risk-based Testing covers the one with a higher chance of failure. Risk-based Testing must be defined at the earliest stages possible when customer requirements are defined in order to reduce the potential number of errors in the later stages of development and to guide further planning, implementation, and…
Intro Choosing the right test framework for automating your web application is never an easy job. Many questions need to be answered like: What is the most beneficial we are going to get from that framework comparing to others? What are the disadvantages by using that framework? How complicated it is to implement? How hard it is to learn it and improve it as the development goes on? Nevertheless, whatever you choose, make sure you have a proper strategy behind…
