Testing continues to evolve as Agile, DevOps, and now DevSecOps are the new standards for the software application lifecycle. Great efficiencies have been gained and automation plays a larger role in development, testing, and deployment. With a “shift-left” mindset, testing is now more involved, and earlier in the process. Automated processes continue to make inroads, not only for testing but for quickly and efficiently move code from unit to system testing, then to production, and finally with monitoring and continuous improvement steps to provide feedback and increase quality. This adds overall complexity which needs to be managed and mitigated, when problems surface. ASTQB provides a rich body of ISTQB knowledge that can be used to understand these optimization challenges for this evolving paradigm shift.
