Testing in DevOps: Strategies, Tools, and Best Practices for Continuous Quality
The adoption of DevOps has changed the game for how teams build and deliver software. But let’s be honest — moving fast can sometimes feel like skating on thin ice, especially when quality isn’t prioritized. That’s where testing comes in, acting as the safety net to ensure we’re not sacrificing reliability for speed.
In a DevOps world, testing isn’t something you “get to later.” It’s integrated, automated, and constant — happening at every stage of the pipeline. Think of it as the glue that holds everything together while you’re releasing faster than ever.
This article dives into the strategies, tools, and best practices that make testing in DevOps both effective and efficient, helping you maintain continuous quality throughout the SDLC.
