Best practices for different types of testing in CI/CD

In Chapter 3, Basics of Continuous Delivery, we went over acceptance testing and spoke briefly about how an acceptance test suite can serve as a regression test suite. In this section, we will talk about different types of software testing that you can do and formulate some best practices with each type of test. We will go over the following types of tests:

  • Smoke testing
  • Unit testing
  • Integration testing
  • System testing
  • Acceptance testing
