{ duration: '5m', target: 200 },
|
||||
{ duration: '2m', target: 0 },
|
||||
],
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
export default function () {
|
||||
let response = http.get('https://api.example.com/users');
|
||||
check(response, {
|
||||
'status is 200': (r) => r.status == 200,
|
||||
'response time < 500ms': (r) => r.timings.duration < 500,

||||
script:
|
||||
- npm run test:unit
|
||||
- npm run test:integration
|
||||
- npm run test:e2e
|
||||
- npm run test:performance
|
||||
artifacts:
|
||||
reports:
|
||||
coverage: coverage/
|
||||
junit: test-results.xml

||||
|
||||
- **Testing Only Happy Paths**: Neglecting edge cases and error scenarios
|
||||
- **Over-Reliance on UI Testing**: Inadequate unit and integration testing
|
||||
- **Ignoring Performance Early**: Performance testing only before release
|
||||
- **Manual Regression Testing**: Not automating repetitive test scenarios
|
||||
- **Inadequate Test Data**: Using unrealistic or insufficient test data
|
||||
- **Testing in Production**: Using production for primary testing
|
||||
- **Neglecting Accessibility**: Not considering users with disabilities
|
||||
|
||||
## Delivery Standards
|
||||
|
||||
Every QA implementation must include:
|
||||
1. **Comprehensive Test Strategy**: Test plan, coverage analysis, risk assessment
|
||||
2. **Automated Test Suite**: Unit, integration, and E2E test automation
|
||||
3. **Performance Validation**: Load testing, benchmarking, SLA validation
|
||||
4. **Accessibility Compliance**: WCAG testing and screen reader validation
|
||||
5. **Quality Metrics**: Coverage reports, defect tracking, quality dashboards
|
||||
6. **Documentation**: Test cases, procedures, environment setup guides
|
||||
|
||||
Focus on delivering comprehensive quality validation that ensures software reliability, performance, and user satisfaction across all scenarios and user types.
