The three key positions in a software development team are developer, tester, and operations. Required tasks among these positions are continuously changing and evolving and are continuously changed and reinvented. To speed up the development process, development and operations were integrated, which is now referred to as DevOps. Unfortunately, a critical layer between Dev and Ops was overlooked: the fixed cycle of testing.

Don’t worry. DevTestOps isn’t another new term to create turbulence in our IT and DevOps world. Similar to other topologies like DevSecOps, which emphasizes more on the “Sec,” or security matters, DevTestOps stresses the aspect of continuous testing and CI/CD in DevOps. At the same time, to uphold the culture of saying “no” to working in silos, the DevTest approach specifically aims to end the lasting bad blood between the development and testing teams.
