Pega test strategy
Pega provides out-of-the-box solutions to customers that enable them to perform continuous application testing according to industry standards and to monitor the quality of the application.
Pega tools and best practices help customers build test cases according to the recommended test pyramid. Pega offers the following frameworks to support testing:
- PegaUnit for unit testing.
- Pega Scenario testing for end-to-end functional testing using the application’s own user interface.
Pega has no built-in solution to support the middle layer, which is integration testing. Users can adopt third-party tools, such as SOAP UI or REST-assured, and make use of Pega APIs to achieve integration testing capabilities.
To understand how Pega tools fit into the test pyramid and support different layers, see the following image:
