How to Test a Time Machine
By :

From Chapter 2, The Secret Passages of the Test Pyramid – The Base of the Pyramid, to Chapter 4, The Secret Passages of the Test Pyramid – The Top of the Pyramid, we explored different types of testing in the test pyramid. In this section, we will see how and where these (and other tests) should be handled through the different steps of our pipeline system, continuously executing them to ensure the high quality of our deployment system.
Continuing the example of Figure 6.1, we can commit a feature branch at any time. When we are happy with the contents of the feature branch, ideally after some testing (such as unit tests and code reviews) has taken place, we can merge it to the next branch, including the main trunk.
The test expert should configure the coverage and verify it. We can also create tools to check and ensure the quality of the code being committed before undergoing a code merge.
