Risk-based testing concentrates the efforts on identifying and prioritizing the tests concerning possible impact and likelihood of failure of different application parts. It will enable teams to focus their efforts more on the complex, critical, or most frequently modified parts of the codebase. This strategy will minimize the misallocation of resources and ensure that the most impactful tests are performed and that potential issues are caught early.
Enforce Automation Testing
Manual testing is slow and prone to human errors, where by good test coverage becomes challenging, especially in large projects. Automation testing will enable the team to run multiple test cases in a short time and in repeated runs that enhance speed and accuracy. Automated tests are extremely useful for regression testing; code which is already tested is tested again after updates. Automation not only allows tests to be covered better but also saves the team members from applying their efforts to harder, exploratory testing tasks that may uncover new issues.
Leverage No-Code Testing Solutions
One of the major obstacles to obtaining test coverage is the lack of suitable technical resources. No-code testing tools facilitate the process of test development, therefore opening a door for any member of a team with little or no technical knowledge to jump into testing processes. This would consequently lead to enhancing test coverage without burdening the developers too much. They give the team the ability to visually develop test cases and often come with reusable test components to make the suites more comprehensive.
Testing in CI/CD Pipelines
Implementing testing in CI/CD pipelines would mean running tests at every development lifecycle stage, starting from code commits to deployment. Continuous testing means that changes are continually being validated. It is through continuous testing that the teams will identify problems that may affect how things will go into production and correct them before they go into it.
Test Data Management
Test data management refers to managing, maintaining, and correlating various types of test data with solutions in flexible and elastic ways, such as the masking and generation of test data, sharing of test data, and test data masking.
Opkey integrates flawlessly with industry CI/CD tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, and GitHub. The QLM module offers central management and visibility on the entire testing process. This ensures traceability and accountability across all aspects of software development stages that ensure the full process is carried out appropriately.
