TestOps is the reclusive member of the DevOps family. Reports of sightings have been few and far between. Although we’ve heard stories, most of us don’t know anyone who’s actually seen it in the wild. I’ve turned to my personal experience as a tester to search for clues about what TestOps is. We’ll talk about what testers have to offer in a DevOps environment and look at the magical things that happen when the worlds of testing and operations collide.
There will be real-life stories, including: simulating an environment migration under production-like traffic (+ screwing it up and learning from it)choosing an AWS architecture with actual test data to compare performance for different instance types busting the myth that you can mitigate a DOS threat by scaling horizontally. Finally, we’ll dare to look into the future at what can happen when intentionally applying a TestOps mentality to our job and what regular teams can do to get there.
Key takeaways: How getting testers involved in DevOps brings actual value.Why applying a TestOps mentality to your work can open the door to a whole new type of testing.Getting there is not as hard as you think!
