If you write software for a living, you probably have a bias toward coded tests and against all things codeless. Most software engineers who become test engineers trust themselves to write well-designed structured code. Some people see record-and-playback as cheating, demeaning, or otherwise indicative of poor workmanship. Yet, research shows that test code maintenance costs correlate directly to the number of lines of written test code.

At Sauce Labs, we define Continuous Testing as a “best practice approach to software quality that involves testing earlier and more often throughout the development lifecycle.” Teams that adopt continuous testing realize a number of benefits, including fewer bugs found in production, faster release cycles, and overall improved customer experience. Another rarely discussed benefit is that as the number of quality checkpoints increases, so does the volume of test data and quality signals.

I ordered a ride share recently from a beach; the app struggled to find a car, so I had to make several requests. After the fourth or fifth attempt, my bank alerted me to possible fraudulent activity on my credit card via SMS. Each time I ordered a ride, the service put a pending charge on my card. After I texted back that it was just me, the bank reactivated my account. Though the process was annoying, I felt reassured my bank could detect possible fraudulence that quickly.

Aside from ensuring each service is working properly, one of the most challenging parts of managing a cloud-based infrastructure is cost monitoring. There are countless services to keep track of—including storage, databases, and computation—each with their own complex pricing structure. Monitoring cloud costs is quite different from other organizational costs in that it can be difficult to detect anomalies in real-time and accurately forecast monthly costs.

Although the differences between PostgreSQL vs. MySQL lessen with each passing year, both database systems continue to offer distinct advantages for different use cases.
