Automated Testing and Release Engineering

Brian Colfer, Apple Inc.

Abstract: 

The heart of the continuous delivery process is confidence based on testing. Design each stage in the delivery pipeline to provide more confidence in the value of the release. Break up the execution of large test suites into smaller test runs focussed on a single point of concern. At each stage, give Engineering confidence that they can make more changes and QA confidence that the product is ready for more testing. Treating tests as an integral part of the product value gives Operations the confidence to release to production.
