Basics of a reliable software

Testing, automation and logging

Reliability is a fundamental to the success of software. Always consider these things to make your software reliable.

Test comprehensively: Don’t rely on unit tests only. Consider writing many types of tests. These include integration testing, e2e testing, regression testing, and A/B testing.

Set up CI/CD: Always automate the build, testing, and deployment. Use Continuous Integration Continuous Deployment (CI/CD).

Enable Logging & Traceability: Add logging to your code. Use the logging tools to improve traceability.
