Updated (2023–09–28): My Innovative Solution to Continuous Testing: Let Business Analysts Self-help Create Data in a BuildWise CT Server

Continuous Testing (enables software teams to release to production daily, not fake CI/CD talks. Check out “Continuous Integration at Facebook” and AgileWay Continuous Testing Grading) is the centre of the software development process. It benefits all stakeholders of a software project.

• Executives
• Managers
• Business Analysts (BAs)
• Developers
• Testers (automated & manual)
• Customers

Many people do not realize that business analysts (BA) can also benefit significantly from CT. Surprised? It is actually very logical: BAs use the application (via UI) a lot (maybe only behind manual testers). As a matter of fact, after contracting/consulting for over 10+ years, I have come to notice that BAs are often among the first ones to realize the great benefits of E2E test automation and CT.
