ITGSS Certified DevOps Engineer Practice Test

Continuous Testing in a DevOps process refers to the practice of running automated tests continuously throughout the entire software delivery pipeline. This approach ensures that code changes are being validated for quality and performance at every stage of development—right from the initial coding phase through to deployment. By automating tests to run on a continuous basis, teams can identify issues early in the development cycle, reduce the feedback loop, and increase the overall speed and reliability of software releases.

The essence of Continuous Testing lies in integrating automated tests within the CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline. This means that every change to the codebase is automatically tested whenever it is committed, allowing developers to catch bugs and errors swiftly, before they propagate through the development process. This not only leads to higher quality software but also promotes a culture of collaboration and rapid iteration among team members.

In the context of the other options, periodic manual testing after deployment is less efficient and fails to take advantage of the continuous nature of modern DevOps practices. Testing only before major releases delays the discovery of issues and increases the risk of more significant problems at deployment time. Collaboration with third-party testers, while valuable in some contexts, isn’t a defining characteristic of Continuous Testing itself, which focuses primarily on automation within the
