Summary

Automated testing is a crucial component of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) processes, allowing development teams to build and integrate software with rapid turn-around times. The most popular CI tools on the market today include Jenkins, Bamboo, TeamCity, Travis CI, Circle CI, and Azure DevOps, each offering unique features and integrations with automated testing solutions like Sauce Labs' Continuous Testing Cloud. To achieve true CI/CD, it's essential to leverage automated testing, from unit tests to end-to-end testing, and integrate testing systems into the CI server, as QA and development teams work together to build reliable and scalable test automation. With various plugins and integrations available, developers can easily configure projects to run tests on Sauce Labs' cloud-based platform, manage environment variables, enable Sauce Connect Proxy, and provide test result files.
