This document discusses fundamentals of continuous integration testing. It explains that continuous integration aims to minimize integration time through frequent code commits, builds, tests and deployments. This allows bugs to be identified and fixed regularly to avoid delays. The document also describes various types of continuous testing like unit testing, functional testing, regression testing, performance testing, load testing, scalability testing and advantages of each.
Continuous integration testing fundamentals
- 1. Fundamentals of Continuous Integration Testing Presented By Cygnet Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
- 2. Continuous Integration Continuous Integration aims at minimizing Integration time to enable quicker time-to-market. The continuous cycle of Code->Build->Test->Deploy is followed to enable high-quality and bug-free releases. Most integration bugs are identified and fixed on a regular basis to avoid last-minute delays. The working code is committed frequently so roll-back is easy in case of major new defects.
- 3. The Continuous Integration Process CI Develop and Compile Integrate with DB Perform Unit Test Pre- Production Deployment Code Labeling Functional Test Generate Reports and Analyze
- 4. Continuous Testing By applying a lean workflow, continuous testing can be implemented. It is best to select continuous testing tools based on the development language and nature of the application. The tool will watch the code for changes and automatically runs the tests after compilation. Then the tools will provide feedback through a notification system.
- 6. Automated Continuous Regression Testing Regression defects might become the hardest to fix if they are not identified and isolated at an earliest. Continuous Regression tests are automatically run in the background of an application to provide rapid feedback on defects and failures. The code is well-tested so that the number of regression defects are minimized. Some automated test tools capture the changes in application to evolve and monitor effectively.
- 7. Continuous Performance Testing Even when the functionality is tested on a regular basis, performance might be neglected leading to application failure after deployment. It is essential to carry out continuous performance testing so that the application can be studied for: Reponses times Changes in Speed Consistency Changes in Reaction Time
- 8. Advantages of Continuous Performance Testing
- 9. Continuous Load Testing It is important to follow continuous load testing to make the application ready for use. Making it an iterative process of Plan-> Test->Analyze- >Fix will help tweaking and tuning effective. Continuous load testing helps reuse test cases and establish clear performance related goals. Load testing must start with small incremental scenarios, and the finally become one whole package.
- 10. Continuous Scalability Testing Building a bridge and then testing it for extension is not very productive. Similarly getting an application on track without testing it as to how much more it can take is a failure. With continuous scalability testing, you can find out and improve the below attributes of your application: Throughput Network Usage CPU Memory Usage Continuous Scalability Testing helps reduce business risks and quick identification of application’s performance attributes.
- 11. To Summarize While continuous integration development process can help deliver a high-quality software in short time, it cannot be rendered complete without implementing continuous testing. The overall Continuous Integration process helps reduce assumptions and assures a healthy software throughout. With better project visibility brought in by CI, effective time- critical business decisions can be made. Finally when Continuous Testing based on Continuous Integration is implemented, the confidence on the end- product/application is high.
