Advantages
The role of TestOps Engineer
The software industry is transforming fast, so is the way companies deliver their products and services to the customers. Proper testing with high velocity gets increasingly important in this process. A tester, who is fluent with automation, navigates naturally in an Agile world and works shoulder by shoulder with development and business, is surely one of the important people in the team.


By switching the focus from test to risk coverage, the TestOps Engineer can give quick feedback to business stakeholders. This accelerates time-to-market and reduces the budget.

Because testing in Agile means to test continuously. Automation on multiple levels and dealing with different technologies are part of testOps tasks.

Building expertise around product behavior and its infrastructure has a direct impact on the overall quality. TestOps Engineer increments this know-how gradually into the project.

Monitoring, business risk, quality gates, CI/CD pipelines, setting up agents, automation executions. No problem! TestOps Engineer interacts with both, technical and business roles and is a valuable asset to every innovative company.
