What Is Continuous Testing?

Definition

Continuous testing runs relevant tests throughout the delivery process so changes receive repeated feedback. The schedule and scope should match the team’s release decisions.

Why it matters

A test run loses relevance as the application or environment changes. Regular execution helps, but frequency alone does not make an unreliable or weak test valuable.

How teams handle it today

Teams combine fast tests on each change with browser tests at suitable stages. They decide who investigates failures and what happens when a required environment is unavailable.

How Zerocheck approaches it

Run Zerocheck tests on demand in the web app or through the optional CLI in CI. Zerocheck has no built-in scheduler, but you can put the CLI on your own CI schedule. Zerocheck does not provide a production-monitoring or incident-alerting service.
