Title:
Maintainability of Low Code Solutions Using Automation

Description

Overview:
This discussion focuses on the importance of automation in maintaining low code solutions. It explores how automation can streamline processes, reduce manual efforts, and ensure consistency across various environments.

Details:

• The role of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in automating the provisioning of test environments, creating a robust test matrix, and proactively identifying issues.
• The adoption of a "shift left" testing strategy, integrating testing activities early in the development lifecycle, and applying automated testing principles to various levels of testing.
• The significance of automated testing in ensuring that support issues and new features are thoroughly tested before release, providing a safety net for different teams to build and enhance features confidently.
• How test automation helps teams describe system behavior, validate expected outcomes, and facilitate changes with greater confidence.

Key Questions

1. How has automation impacted the maintainability of your low code solutions?
2. What challenges have you faced in implementing Infrastructure as Code for test environments?
3. How do you ensure that your automated tests cover all critical aspects of your solution?
