Automation Impacts on Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery

automation software testing



Software testing itself is a vast area to be classified. Primarily, testing can be performed in two ways; either manually or automated testing. It is very crucial to decide when to choose manual or automation testing during software development to ensure quality meeting project constraints.
What is CI/CD?
It means continual integration of the code to the relevant branch of working project. It implies that "integration tests" are run at every code change while Continuous Delivery means that every change that passes tests are automatically deployed. Some organizations emphasize on automation and fully avoid manual testers. Others concentrate on automation testing but not allowing testers to get involved in test strategies.  Therefore, a moderate approach needs to be followed to take full advantage by Hire Tester for Automation Testing.
Advantages of manual over automation
It is impossible to test each and every scenario using automated tool. When an application or product is arrived for testing; testing team starts planning its software testing service life cycle activities. A number of test cases are created for the application beforehand to carry out the testing. Some test cases would be non-repetitive which might be complex and too costly to automate. There are other tests which are repetitive and are executed every time the build is received. It could be functionality that must be in a working condition at all times. Out of all those, the desired performance testing service which we want to automate are filtered.
Furthermore, only a fraction can be automated out of the planned ones because automation is time consuming and difficult task.  Apparently, it will not provide full assurance to the stakeholders in context of quality.
