Version control systems are supported by all major performance testing tools, yet some testers are still reluctant to use them. Looking at LinkedIn profiles, very few of us actually list git as work skill.
Source control is an absolute prerequisite for continuous testing. It’s a base for repeatable test results and uniform test configuration between the testers.
Code reviews are also a perfect learning exercise for both code contributor and reviewer. Senior Testers can help juniors best practices, while practicing code reading and static code analysis.
Code versioning can help you set up a time travel test suite to replicate the exact test conditions and results of a test executed in the past. It’s also useful to find the code delta with a defect that may have broken your tests
And last, but not least, it’s a good space to persist your tests on. You can never have enough backups.
Do you use Git for your performance tests? If not, why?
