How Can We Combat These Challenges?
Definition Driven
Development
Continuous
Testing
Service
Virtualization
Continuous
Monitoring
Designing and building your API with a standard spec like
Swagger will encourage collaboration and speed up work across
development and test.
Make sure that a sense of ownership of “testing” and “quality”
is felt equally by the development, testing, and operations
teams.
Virtualize services so that fragile, production, or 3rd Party
services are always available for integration, e2e, and
performance testing.
Monitoring your applications performance and user experience
pre and post production to shorten downtimes and outages.
