Testing is one of the most imperative tasks in software development. Whether automated or manual, testing guarantees that the software functions according to the expectations. Broken software leads to complete financial collapse, decreased trust, unsatisfied customers and production outages. Testing reduces these sorts of undesirable outcomes and when done well, encourages teams to reach higher quality thresholds.

DevOps converts testing by promoting it to an important concern across all stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and by transferring the responsibilities to the engineers. DevOps empower engineers to answer queries such as where and how to test more facets of their software. This affects the deployment pipeline, workflows across teams, and inspires exploratory testing.

Keeping this scenario in mind, we are presenting 3 ways in which DevOps is transforming software testing.

1. Quicker Response with Trunk-Based Development

Trunk-based development shifts testing workflows because work happens in one mutual place. There is no rocket-science involved because commits are simple. However, any commit can bring the deployment pipeline to a pause. The workflow circumvents combine hell and possible development conflicts.
