Automated Testing is a huge part of DevOps, but without human-performed quality assurance testing, you’re increasing the risk of lower-quality software making it into production. Automated Testing is an essential DevOps practice to increase organizations’ release cadence and code quality. But there are definitely limits to only using Automated Testing. Without human quality assurance (QA) ...
It can be complicated to automate model-based testing. Here’s how to employ action words to get the job done.
