What is a benefit of continuous testing?

Continuous testing typically encourages more frequent, smaller code check-ins to facilitate earlier detection of issues, not decreased frequency.

Test environments are still required for continuous testing to execute tests; continuous testing aims to automate and integrate testing within these environments.

Continuous testing promotes the execution of tests in parallel across different stages and environments, allowing for faster feedback and more efficient use of resources. This approach often involves running various types of tests (unit, integration, regression) concurrently.

The goal of continuous testing is to find bugs earlier in the development lifecycle, before they reach production, thereby decreasing the number of bugs found in production.
