Software development organizations often struggle with siloed teams, causing conflicts and increased costs. At Eni Plenitude, developers would create code, and then pass it on to centralized operations and test teams. However, this process caused friction, resulting in delays and longer feedback loops, ultimately slowing down time to market. ENI Plenitude realized the need for DevOps to encourage collaboration between development and operations teams.
ENI Plenitude had two test teams in charge of automating performance tests. Automated tests were used for non-regression testing, with plans to implement them in agile teams at the start of software development. This change aimed to reduce friction points, improve team collaboration, and ultimately lead to faster releases and higher customer satisfaction.
Automating tests is essential for lowering costs and meeting quality benchmarks throughout the software testing process. Yet, it also presents new obstacles. A significant hurdle is identifying glitches early and promptly fixing them. Achieving this necessitates ongoing monitoring, testing, and feedback loops, which can be hard to handle without a sound DevOps strategy.
