AWS CodeBuild vs. Azure Test Plans

I enjoy it - very cool service. I would say give it a try.

It works well for express test case implementation with a short duration. You can define the tests for two weeks and run the activities documenting the software errors and fixes to control the effectiveness of DevOps. The graphic reports give the idea of the backlog phases advances and errors detected. It needs improvement if you have a large test project and need to design financial budgets and control over costs of the test plan.

• Customization
• Do code builds within a schedule or when the source code changes
• Only pay for the build time used

• Multi test plan access
• Well structured and easy to use
• Integrates with other azure features to work seamlessly ,connecting the data flow

• It was difficult to create a branching strategy with GitHub. We had everything running from main, but in a true devops environment, we would like to incorporate a true branching strategy.
• I would like to share build projects with each AWS account we utilize versus creating a build project in each account. It will allow us consistent deployments across the board.
• The error logs are natively in AWS, but when developers do not have access, there is no way for them to view error logs for maintenance other than an admin who has access to share the error logs.

• Graphic definition of the the Work Break Down Structure
• Gantt Chart to check the activity dependance and flow of the process
• Basic cost module to design test budgets.

It is a highly usable, well integrated CI/CD service, patricularly for AWS-centric organizations. It is a strong balance between simplicity and flexibility. Security was integrated with AWS Secrets Manager allowing secrets to be retrieved dynamically - a huge usability win for us. I did not enjoy the manual build for each environment

AWS CodeBuild provides the option to fully implement the build in the cloud without wasting your local resources (computer and network) providing independence to developers to invest those resources in other processes. It also provides a robust platform with a lot of customizations or just a script for each language.

We're doing a full continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), continuous testing (CT), security, delivery, and monitoring. They have been lately adding features to the services on a regular basis. Every two weeks, they add functionality to Azure DevOps Services to match it with what Azure DevOps Server or on-prem would offer. So, we continue to get more robust functionality. My favorite right now is that they are starting to open up the API availability within Azure DevOps Services.

• Pros: One stop solution for end to end traceability
• Pros: Exploratory testing used
• Pros: maximum coverage on multiple browsers, operating system combinations
• Cons: Integration with Non-Microsoft tools can be improved
