Day 1: Interactive Session on - Continuous testing strategy for CFRs 

Continuous testing strategy for CFRs 

Cross-functional requirements (CFRs), predominantly referred to as Non-functional Requirements (NFRs), form an integral part of software quality and testing for them continuously is an absolute necessity for any team that promises to deliver high-quality software to their customers and end-users. Often, the emphasis that is placed on continuous testing (CT) the functional requirements are not equally placed on continuous testing the cross functional requirements in software delivery teams and by the business stakeholders. There could be multiple reasons catering to this phenomenon but one we believe could be a prominent reason is the lack of awareness on how to approach CFRs testing as they come across really vague, say, reliability or maintainability, for example.  

 

In this talk, I, author of O’Reilly’s Full Stack Testing book, and my colleague from Thoughtworks, Pallavi Vadlamani, would like to outline why it is essential to do continuous testing for cross-functional requirements and introduce a holistic approach to continuous testing of all the cross-functional requirements. We will cover how different testing techniques such as static code analysis, architecture tests, visual testing, infrastructure tests, load tests, etc., cater to automating a variety of CFRs, including those really vague ones, and therefore, aid in continuous testing and building quality into the software. By the end of the talk, the audience should get a clear idea of how to approach continuous testing of any given CFR that is necessary for them to deliver a high-quality software. 

Pre-Requisites: 

Prerequisites are pretty much knowing: 

  • An iterative software development process like in Agile and how shift-left testing is embedded into it. 
  • The fundamentals of functional requirements automation, i.e., purpose of unit, services, UI end-to-end tests and how they are integrated with CI to get fast feedback. 
  • The true essence of continuous delivery.
