DevOps And Test Teams Burnout: Fixes And Releases

Test automation framework is the architectural backbone of any automation testing as it structures the entire workflow with a set of guidelines, practices, and tools that streamline and standardize the process of automating tests.

Automation can deliver far more than testing the front end or testing a drop down in a unit test. For years, unit testing and functional testing have dominated the efforts to automate.

Despite being in an Agile-driven SDLC, test automation often remains treated as a distinct process. The seamless integration of the test automation team and developers largely depends on selecting the right test automation partner. This article attempts to give key factors that be considered and taken care of before choosing your test automation vendor.

Flaky tests are a common challenge faced by development teams in their quest to ensure software quality. These intermittent tests produce inconsistent results that may pass or fail unpredictably, even with no changes to the code.

BDD assists in avoiding bloat, excessive code, unnecessary features, and lack of focus by advising developers to focus solely on the desired behaviors of an app or program.
