HipTest: Bringing a Test-First Mindset to DevOps Development

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

As organizations embrace and scale DevOps across the enterprise, the speed of development increases and the stakes get bigger. As a result, organizations are recognizing the need to bridge the gap between business and developers during the development and deployment process.

HipTest helps enterprise organizations bridge this gap by introducing a test-first mindset to DevOps development. The company intends its tool to serve as the place where enterprises describe and formalize user acceptance criteria.

Through this formalization, organizations can connect business-desired features to the user stories, use cases and scenarios that developers need to code the software. Once developed, the company’s solution works with multiple automation frameworks to support both manual and automated testing.

Most importantly, the solution embraces the ‘behavior-driven development’ movement by automatically creating ‘living documentation’ that is business-readable and which is dynamically updated to always reflect the current state of the system. Finally, they connect with operational data to provide usage insights on a feature-by-feature basis.
