Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) are the standard in modern software development. Software is rolled out faster than ever, but without control over test results, quality remains a gamble. How can you be sure your software works as intended? Without effective management of test results you miss the full picture—and with it, control.
Common challenges
In practice, test results are often available but not used optimally. As a result, teams lack sufficient visibility into the actual status of their software. Without historical data, it remains difficult to recognize trends and learn from past mistakes. Each test cycle therefore stands on its own. Information is also often spread across different tools and teams, especially in a microservices architecture. This lack of overview makes it hard to assess overall quality.
The importance of proper test result management
In a CI/CD environment, managing test results is not a luxury but a basic prerequisite for releasing both quickly and responsibly. Deep insight into test results enables informed decisions about software quality. It helps limit risks and speeds up the process because less time is lost to uncertainty and manual checks. In regulated sectors, test documentation is also essential to meet audit and compliance requirements. Think of regulations such as BIO-2, DORA, and NIS2. In addition, structured test management fosters collaboration between teams because everyone works with the same, reliable information.
Orangebeard as the solution
Orangebeard is specifically designed for CI/CD environments and helps teams make test results not only visible, but also useful and action-oriented. Instead of fragmented reports, Orangebeard provides a single central platform where test information from different sources converges. Thanks to smart dashboards, it becomes easier to spot bottlenecks and identify improvement opportunities. The tool documents test results automatically and makes them searchable by history, classification, and impact.
For complex microservices environments, there is support for end-to-end chain tests, giving you insight into the effects of changes on the entire system. Organizations that must meet strict regulations benefit from automatic logging and audit trails, making compliance much easier.
Strategic value
Where test results were once seen mainly as a technical detail, they now form a valuable source of information for the entire organization. Testers gain insight into the coverage and effectiveness of their work. Developers benefit from immediate feedback on their code changes, bringing issues to light earlier. Management has real-time data to underpin strategic choices. The result: better software, shorter time-to-market, and fewer production issues.
Take the step toward more control and speed
