The Cost of Buggy Software Is Much Greater Than We Think
The National Institute of Standards and Technology Has Calculated That Software Bugs Cost $59.5 Billion Annually Just in the U.S.!
Bugs Are Inevitable In Every Software Development Project
Losses From Buggy Software Will Be Reduced By Continuous Testing As Part of the Development Process

Testing Should Never Be An Afterthought!
Do Not Save Testing For The End of The Project, “If You Have Time . . .”
Automated Tools Now Make It Possible To Create Tests During Development And To Execute Tests Daily And Get Immediate Test Results

PHPUnit Tests Can Be Run in Jenkins

11. Test Automation For Drupal 8
Test Automation for Functional Tests
Black Box Testing – Create Tests That Examine What The System Actually Does
Input Is Repeatedly Sent Through The System And Expected Output Is Examined
Tools Such As Nightwatch, Nightmare, Casperjs and Mocha Are Javascript-based Testing Frameworks
The above test frameworks can also be used to create and execute end to end tests.

Acceptance Test Automation Tools
Cucumber
Robot Framework
FitNesse
These Tools Tests The Developed Software At A Higher Level To Verify That End User Requirements Have Been Met

13. Test Automation For Drupal 8
In Conclusion
Testing should be planned early and started along with development
Free test automation tools are available for every stage of development
Test automation should be regarded and planned as a quick and easy development project
The main point of test automation is to find bugs and not only to confirm that the code “works” well.
