Neglecting continuous testing can delay defect detection, increase technical debt, and compromise software quality, leading to software testing failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"pt-3 pb-2 container wp-block-heading\">How to avoid it?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image d-flex  justify-content-center m-3\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.imt-soft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Integrate-automated-testing-into-Continuous-Integration-CIContinuous-Deployment-CD.png\" alt=\"Integrate automated testing into Continuous Integration (CI)\/Continuous\" class=\"wp-image-7053\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>\n    .table-wrapper{\n     }\n    table {\n        border-collapse: collapse;\n    }\n    @media only screen and (min-width: 1028px) {\n        table {\n            width: 100%;\n            border-collapse: collapse;\n        }\n    }\n    table, th, td {\n        border: 1px solid black;\n    }\n    th, td {\n        padding: 10px;\n        text-align: center;\n    }\n    @media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {\n        th, td {\n            font-size: 12px;\n        }\n        .table-wrapper {\n            max-height: 500px; \/* Adjust the height as needed *\/\n            width: 100%;\n            overflow-x: auto;\n            overflow-y: auto;\n            border: 1px solid black;\n        }\n    }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"container table-wrapper mb-5 \">\n    <table>\n        <tr>\n            <th style=\"width:50%;\"><h5>Integrate testing into CI\/CD<\/h5><\/th>\n            <th style=\"width:50%;\"><h5>Automate early &#038; often<\/h5><\/th>\n        <\/tr>\n        <!-- Row 1 -->\n        <tr>\n           <td style=\"text-align: start;\">Embed testing into your Continuous Integration\/Continuous Deployment (CI\/CD) pipeline.
