Role of QA in DevOps

Organizations are trying to release features faster than ever, to meet the ever-growing customer demands in the industry. DevOps allows software development and testing to occur simultaneously and continuously. Companies which are moving to DevOps notice a cultural shift in the organization. DevOps testing services in USA helps organizations to meet ever-changing customer needs.

Why DevOps?

It is a set of practices which combines both the software development and IT Operations to work together. DevOps is the extension of Agile methodology. We are moving towards a culture where building and testing must happen simultaneously, rapidly and more frequently. They work together to shorten the lifecycle and produce continuous delivery with high software quality.

The Three Pillars of DevOps:

1.      Continuous Testing (CT):

It is process of testing the application at every stage through the lifecycle of the development process. This helps the team to test the quality of the product at every stage of the process to verify the errors or issues before being moved to the production environment. This tool is used to defect the errors as soon as possible.

2.      Continuous Integration (CI):

It is process of integration the code at a very high frequency. Teams implement CI to integrate the code daily or hourly to locate the errors more easily.

Benefits of QA in implementing a CI pipeline:

·        Remove dependency on code check-ins

·        Faster feedback

·        Increased Collaboration

·        Automated regression testing

·        Extensive documentation

        3.      Continuous Delivery (CD):

It is practice ensuring that the code is in a deployed state. This means that all code changes like new features, bug fixes, experiments, configuration changes are always ready for deployment to a production environment.

The Role of QA in DevOps:

DevOps primarily focuses on communication and collaboration between developers and testers. And QA has always seen as a “gatekeeper” for software deliveries.

Normally QA gets a build software and goes into a deployment in a designated environment and follows the test execution process. When the software has been verified by QA, then it goes into production. This process normally takes a couple of days in QA environment. When it comes into the DevOps process, the development and testing process QA is integrated and takes a collaborative approach.

In DevOps organizations, QA sends a new development code to a production environment and DevOps teams provides necessary infrastructure and tools to make the deployment process easy, simultaneously verifying that the changes are functioning as per the requirement in order to ensure the quality throughout the delivery cycle. Therefore, everyone involved in DevOps is responsible for the quality and time delivery of the product.

5 Reasons Why QA is Important for DevOps:

• ·        QA plays a strategic role
• ·        QA is bridge between development and operation
• ·        QA helps detect bugs earlier
• ·        QA as “Gatekeeper” for software release
• ·        QA helps deliver the objectives of DevOps
