Automated Testing

Automated testing has become an integral part of modern software development, especially in the realm of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). Its benefits are manifold: faster feedback loops, higher code quality, and more confidence in deployments.

Yet, while many developers understand the necessity of testing, the intricacies of setting up automated tests within a CI/CD pipeline can seem daunting. This chapter will demystify automated testing, focusing on how to effectively integrate it with Jenkins, the robust CI/CD tool you have just learned about.
