Exploratory testing and Dev Ops - best friends?Sven Schirmer
Exploratory testing and DevOps practices like test automation can work well together when used appropriately. Exploratory testing involves testing software from the perspective of end users to understand real-world usage, which can then be used to improve automated test coverage. Session-based testing pairs business and development teams to jointly test software. Logging user journeys in production and using that data to plan exploratory test sessions helps test automation better reflect actual usage. Exploratory testing brings end users and different perspectives into the testing process early, discovers new issues, and improves customer relationships with minimal time investment when run regularly.
DevOps is an essential link in software development that ensures continuous delivery with agility. It promotes an ecosystem where development teams, infrastructure teams, and quality assurance teams closely collaborate. For enterprises adopting DevOps, quality assurance teams must evolve their role from testing to quality engineering. This involves collaborating throughout the development lifecycle, automating testing and other processes, and providing continuous feedback. Key success factors for DevOps include leadership alignment, automation, identifying opportunities for efficiency gains, automated infrastructure management, and post-production monitoring.
DevOps processes have become critical for organizations to release software as quickly as necessary in today’s fast-paced economy. The very name of “DevOps” calls out developers and operations. But where does QA fit into that mix?
The answer is that QA plays an equal role in DevOps, and a shift to DevOps actually presents an opportunity for QA teams to play a more strategic role than previously alongside development and operations.

Quality engineering replaces quality assurance (QA) in manufacturing and software development (QE). What’s
the difference between quality engineering and quality assurance, and why is it growing?
Let’s start with the QA roles. QA is the most common tester title today. This engineer ensures product quality
through testing and human and automated procedures. They also monitor software development lifecycle
procedures for ISO 9000 and CMMI compliance. The process is usually automatic, although this title is
sometimes misconstrued to suggest that this engineer only does manual testing.
Whereas QA is the overall process of ensuring manufacturers make things properly, Quality Engineering (QE) defines (or ‘engineers’) the system that does it. Quality engineers maintain, improve, and monitor the system.
