Practical Continuous Testing: make Agile/DevOps real (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781507742112)

The trend of software development is moving towards frequent releases backed up by automated functional testing.
Continuous Testing (CT), a key process of DevOps, executes automated end-to-end (UI) as regression testing, frequently on new builds. If all tests pass, the software is ready for a production release. there are test failures, the team must act quickly on the feedback.

This book presents a practical approach to implementing real Continuous Testing. Topics include:

• Why do traditional CI servers, e.g. Jenkins, always fail to manage UI test executions?
• Set up a BuildWise (free, open-source) CT server to run Selenium tests in minutes
• Sequential Build, run selected tests on the CT server machine
• Custom test executions with Rake
• ParallelBuild, distribute tests to build agents to run them in parallel
• CT best practices, such as Dynamic Ordering, Auto-Retry, Manual-Retry, ..., etc.
• Advice on setting up a parallel testing lab
