Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to measure and assert the quality of software development processes. Releasing quickly and often requires the software that is written to be of high quality. Testing is needed to ensure that you write software of high quality with little technical debt. You learned about the different types of tests and the pros and cons of the different types of automated and manual tests. Finally, you learned how code reviews and tools can help to maintain high quality in your project, by reporting on quality and serving as a quality gate.
With this knowledge, you now understand the tests and test types to help you to decide which tests are needed for your applications, which risks you can address using which types of tests, and which ones you need and can omit. You are now also capable of setting up and configuring code-scanning tools to ensure that changes of insufficient quality are not merged to the mainline.
In the next chapter, you will learn about...
