The Road to Continuous Testing
summary
Roadmap shows concrete moves: adopt a test pyramid with mostly unit tests, medium API tests, and minimal UI end‑to‑end checks; plug unit and BDD/TDD scenarios into CI pipelines (Jenkins, Azure DevOps, CircleCI). Choose tools that cut feedback time—Cypress speeds some suites 4x faster and raised feature coverage to ~40%, one team hits 3600 automated tests daily, another grows regression suites from 300 to 1500 and boosts coverage 50%. Split performance tests to preprod, keep exploratory manual, and measure via dashboards.
