Solution
To achieve Continuous Testing we must automate Test Preparation activities as well as Test Execution activities, so that Test Coverage can be calculated automatically, Test Data can be Requested and Provisioned automatically, Expected Results can be calculated, Data can be Matched to Tests, Executable Tests can be generated on demand, and data can be fed to test execution tools on demand at run time – all automatically.
Benefits
Orson’s ability to dramatically reduce the test preparation effort and maintenance overhead for the Testing lifecycle has the following benefits:
- Testing fits in-Sprint
- Testing can be truly Continuous
- Substantial reduction in time & effort to prepare and execute testing
- More testing can be undertaken because it takes less time overall
