The Future of Continuous Testing in CI/CD
If you ever wonder why continuous testing is so important, think about the following: In the past, software testing was typically done after the code was written and sent to the QA department for independent testing. When bugs were discovered, the code was returned to the developers for correction. While this testing method worked, it […]
