Testing Platform
Defining the life-cycle of testing, improving the reliability of code through more efficient and targeted testing practices, and driving better software architecture and design.
|
The Testing Platform team is a sub-team of the Developer Experience group within the Wikimedia Foundation. Established in November of 2024, to provide the foundation for engineers to self-service on quality practices by providing tools and frameworks to write tests and testing environments to execute them. In other words the team provides frameworks, tools & environments that ensure the quality of the software built by the foundation and the broader technical community.

Key Guiding Principles
[edit]- Quality is a cultural trait that must permeate throughout the entire organization and community.
- Quality Assurance is a process, not a team or person. The Quality Assurance process touches all aspects of the SDLC. Quality and Test Engineering are the stewards of that process.
