DevOps is a cultural shift that brings development (Dev) and operations (Ops) together to streamline processes and toolsets, enabling the rapid delivery of applications and services. While agile methodologies have transformed software development by promoting rapid iteration, DevOps extends this by addressing deployment and delivery constraints, ensuring faster and more reliable releases. The integration of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) is a hallmark of DevOps, but it also presents challenges for QA/Testing, which can be seen as the bottleneck in the delivery pipeline. At TURBOQA, we see QA/Testing as the key enabler of CI/CD, bridging the gap between development and deployment.
Our approach
We view Continuous Testing as an essential part of the CI/CD pipeline that doesn’t compromise the automated delivery processes. Our approach involves:
Test at Every Stage – Testing is integrated throughout the entire delivery and deployment pipeline, using a combination of manual and automated processes.
Process and Tool Optimization – We work to redefine testing processes and leverage the right tools to mature the testing pipeline and support faster releases.
Holistic Quality Practices – We focus on testing beyond just functional and regression testing, recommending quality validation at every stage of the development cycle.
Dev & Ops Collaboration – Our testing practices are designed to integrate seamlessly with the collaborative culture of DevOps, supporting continuous collaboration between development and operations teams.
