Testing principles

Next to the GitOps principles, we have our own set of testing principles:

  • Start small and iterateBetter to have some tests from the start than have none at all.
  • Automate everythingAutomation leads to more efficiency and quality.
  • Fail earlyTesting should start as soon as possible, this ensures robust software.
  • Tests are deliverablesBy delivering a test, you can prove you tested the feature. The test can be re-used in later stages of development.
  • Testing is a common responsibilityTesting should not be the responsibility of one person in the team, but a team effort.

Test process

Section titled “Test process”

We encourage to use the following process when developing tests:

  1. Testing should be incorporated from the moment a new feature is designed.
  2. When refining a feature, the possibility for test automation should be discussed as well as the test scenario’s that are possible for that feature.
  3. Together with building the feature, the tests should be built and executed.
  4. The tests should be a deliverable when deploying a new release. That way clients can also run the tests in their pipelines.
