What is quality?

 

“Quality is not act.  It is a habit.” ~Aristotle

What we still see lately is that the traditional testing pyramid is being used, but it is used inverted. So what we see is that a lot of projects create a lot of tests on their user interface by using selenium (or any other automated framework). This should be changed so that the most tests are created as low as possible in the pyramid so that the feedback loop is as short as possible. This results in less scope change, less related code, less people involved etc. And this causes that bugs which are being found are cheaper to solve than when you will find them in the end of the lifecycle. This can be seen in the pictures below.

If we map the test pyramid on a standard blueriq setup,it would give this picture:

    In this model most of the test are on the lowest level, the benifits which this will give are:

  • Cost to develop and maintain automated test
  • Better Execution times on automated tests
  • Possibillity of false negatives
  • Increase in coverage
