• Book Review: Enterprise Continuous Testing

  As I've mentioned in previous posts, this year I'm reading one testing-related book a month and reviewing it in my blog.  This month I read Enterprise Continuous Testing, by Wolfgang Platz with Cynthia Dunlop.This book aims to answer solve the problems often found in continuous testing.  Software continuous testing is defined by the author as "the process of executing automated tests as part of the software delivery pipeline in order to obtain feedback on the business risks associated with a software release as rapidly as possible".  Platz writes that there are two main problems that companies encounter when they try to implement continuous testing:1. The speed problemTesting is a bottleneck because most of it is still done manuallyAutomated tests are redundant and don't provide valueAutomated tests are flaky and require significant maintenance2. The business problemThe business hasn't performed a risk analysis on their softwareThe business can't distinguish between a test failure that is due to a trivial issue and a failure that reveals a critical issueI have often encountered the first set of problems, but I never really thought about the second set.  While I have knowledge of the applications I test and I know which failures indicate serious problems, it never occurred to me that it would be a good idea to make sure that product managers and other stakeholders can look at our automated tests and be able to tell whether our software is ready to be released.Fortunately, Platz suggests a four-step solution to help ensure that the[…]

• Feature slicing across the tech stack

  In BDD workshops I briefly talk about feature slicing. In a nutshell: Slice features so every feature should be deployable independently. For this to happen, slice you features ‘across’ the tech stack, NOT ‘along’ the tech stack. (See attached images) This is a common mistake, and seems easier to work that way. For instance, develop the UI first, then the back end / business logic. The problem here, your not deploying quickly / in small chunks. Might as well call this waterfall development, because then that’s what this becomes.. #RedefiningSoftwareQuality #Agile #FeatureSlicing #AgileTransformation The post Feature slicing across the tech stack appeared first on Quality Spectrum.
