Tools for ART – Autonomous Real-time Testing
ART – Autonomous Real-time Testing is a concept for modern software and system testing in the area of Digitalization. It unites three approaches:
- Complementing Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and Deployment (CI/CD) by Continuous Testing – it’s not just adding a testing step somewhere in between DevOps, sometimes seen as DevTstOps, DevSecOps, or anything similar;
- Automated, unattended testing of its Digital Twins while the system itself remains in operation;
- Autonomous generation of new test cases within existing test stories (or scenarios) adapting to new system interconnectivity or environmental changes.
In particular, the third point means adopting techniques from Artificial Intelligence, combined with methods that keep the newly generated test cases relevant. This presentation outlines the current state of availability of tools.
