CI/CD Integration Of Test Scripts

Screenshot 2023-03-01 at 9.49.37 AM.png

CI/CD integration of test scripts refers to the process of integrating automated test scripts into a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. This allows for the automated execution of test scripts as part of the overall software development process, helping to ensure that software changes are thoroughly tested and verified before being deployed to production.

​

In a CI/CD pipeline, code changes are automatically built, tested, and deployed to production environments. The integration of test scripts into this pipeline ensures that all code changes are tested thoroughly, reducing the risk of defects or errors being introduced into the production environment.

The integration of test scripts into a CI/CD pipeline involves several steps, including:

 

  1. Writing and maintaining automated test scripts that cover the necessary test cases.

  2. Configuring the CI/CD pipeline to execute the automated test scripts at the appropriate stage in the pipeline, such as after the build or deployment process.

  3. Analyzing the results of the test scripts to identify any issues or defects that need to be addressed before the code changes can be deployed to production.

​

CI/CD integration of test scripts can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of software development and testing by reducing manual effort, increasing test coverage, and providing faster feedback on code changes. It helps to ensure that software changes are thoroughly tested and verified before being deployed to production, reducing the risk of defects or errors impacting end-users.

Through the CI/CD Integration of Test Scripts, we are performing the following Testing:

  • Accessibility Testing: Automatically report a violation for changed pages in merge requests. Browser Performance Testing: Quickly determine the browser performance impact of pending code changes.

  • Load Performance Testing: Quickly determine the server performance impact of pending code changes.

  • Code Quality: Analyze your source code quality using the Code Climate analyzer and show the Code Climate report right in the merge request widget area.

  • Display arbitrary job artefacts: Configure CI pipelines with the artefacts: expose as a parameter to direct link to selected artefacts in merge requests.

  • Unit test reports: Configure your CI jobs to use Unit test reports.

  • Metrics Reports: Display the Metrics Report on the merge request so that it’s fast and easier to identify changes to important metrics.

CI/CD Integration of Test Scripts Services

  • Code quality: Ensure that the code follows best practices and is thoroughly tested before integration.

  • Source control: Store all test scripts in a source control repository like Git, SVN, etc.

  • Automated build: Set up an automated build process that compiles the code and runs the tests.

  • Test environment: Define the test environment, including the operating system, database, and any other dependencies required to run the tests.

  • Test data: Prepare the test data, including data for unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests.

  • Test framework: Choose a test framework that fits the technology stack and project requirements. Examples include JUnit, TestNG, Cucumber, etc.

  • Test execution: Automate the execution of tests, including unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests.

  • Test reporting: Set up a test reporting mechanism to track test results and identify failed tests.

  • Continuous integration: Integrate the test scripts into the continuous integration (CI) process, so that tests are run every time changes are committed to the source control repository.

  • Continuous delivery/deployment: Integrate the test scripts into the continuous delivery/deployment (CD) process, so that tests are run before deploying to production.

  • Test environment management: Automate the management of the test environment, including the creation and deletion of test databases, servers, etc.

  • Maintenance: Regularly review and maintain the test scripts to ensure that they remain up-to-date and effective.
