Embed Automated Testing at Every Level

This standard mandates the embedding of automated testing at every level to ensure code quality and prevent defects early in the development lifecycle.

1. Embed Automated Testing at Every Level:

Ensure code quality and prevent defects early in the development lifecycle. This approach ensures that code is thoroughly tested and reliable.

• 1.1 Unit, Integration, and End-to-End Tests:
  • 1.1.1 CI/CD Pipeline Implementation:
    • Implement unit, integration, and end-to-end tests in CI/CD pipelines.
    • Automate the execution of tests in pipelines.
  • 1.1.2 Test Management:
    • Automate the tracking of test results.
    • Implement test tutorials.
• 1.2 Fast and Reliable Test Execution:
  • 1.2.1 Code Merge Requirement:
    • Require fast, reliable automated test execution before code merges.
    • Automate the enforcement of test execution.
  • 1.2.2 Execution Management:
    • Automate the tracking of test execution times.
    • Implement execution feedback collection.
• 1.3 Shift-Left Testing:
  • 1.3.1 Early Issue Detection:
    • Use shift-left testing to detect and fix issues earlier in development.
    • Automate the implementation of shift-left testing.
  • 1.3.2 Detection Management:
    • Automate the tracking of early issue detections.
    • Implement detection tutorials.

By embedding automated testing, organisations can ensure high-quality code and prevent defects.
