QA Automation

The main goals of the quality assurance are:

• Detect defects in the software
• Detect them early

To detect the defects in the software we use the following set of tools, to detect them early we introduce them in the development process.

Area	Tool	Type	When
Security	SonarQube	Static	Pull Request
End-to-end Testing	Cypress	Dynamic	Pull Request
Accessibility	Axe	Dynamic	Pull Request
Visual Regression	Percy	Dynamic	Pull Request
Front-End Performance	Debug Bear	Dynamic	Nightly
Back-End Performance	Blazemeter	Dynamic	Nightly

Types

• Static: the tool runs against the code and reports the results.
• Dynamic: a running server is required to run the tool.

When

• Pull Request: A job is included in the CI, the job is triggered when a PR is created or updated and it must pass.
• Nightly: The tool is configured to run on a regular basis.
