You know about different types of testing that follow a hierarchy: unit testing, integration testing, regression testing, acceptance testing, and more. But do you know all these testing types can be executed using different approaches? For instance, a popular approach to Unit testing is TDD (test-driven development). TDD involves creating the unit test code before building the application. Similarly, Incremental testing is a common and most used approach for Integration testing.

There are various front end testing types- unit, integration, and end-to-end testing. Each type serves a specific purpose in ensuring the quality and reliability of the front-end code.

In the first three articles in this four-post series, my colleague Jason English and I explored DataOps observability, the connection between DevOps and DataOps, and data-centric FinOps best practices. In this concluding article in the series, I’ll explore DataOps resiliency – not simply how to prevent data-related problems, but also how to recover from them quickly, ideally without impacting the business and its customers.
