Enterprise Continuous Testing

Book excerpt: Even with the most extreme automation, we simply don't have time for the "test everything" approach. It's impossible to test every possible path through a modern business application every time that we want to release. Fortunately, we don't need to. If we rethink our testing approach, we can get a thorough assessment of a release candidate's business risk with much less testing than most companies are doing today. Enterprise Continuous Testing: Transforming Testing for Agile and DevOps introduces a Continuous Testing strategy that helps enterprises accelerate and prioritize testing to meet the needs of fast-paced Agile and DevOps initiatives. Software testing has traditionally been the enemy of speed and innovation--a slow, costly process that delays releases while delivering questionable business value. This new strategy helps you test smarter, so testing provides rapid insight into what matters most to the business. Target AudienceThis book is written for senior quality managers and business executives who need to achieve the optimal balance between speed and quality when delivering the software that drives the modern business. It provides a roadmap for how to accelerate delivery with high confidence and low business risk.In summary: If you want to realign your Global 2000 organization's quality process with the unrelenting drive towards accelerated delivery speed and "Continuous Everything," then you're in the right place.
