How We Build Confidence with Continuous Integration and Automated Testing
Continuous integration and automated front end testing provide a small development team confidence in their work without a dedicated testing team. The solution involves running unit tests and automated front end tests on every code check-in through a continuous integration process managed across three servers for building, testing, and staging. This allows any new features to be constantly tested as they are added, catching issues early and providing confidence that changes did not break existing functionality.
