Engineering leaders prioritize quality by ensuring user experience and rapid turnaround. In fast-paced environments, managing simultaneous features and bug fixes complicates thorough testing. Ephemeral environments offer isolated spaces to test without affecting shared settings. Shahid Ali Khan from LambdaTest notes their effectiveness in tracing code issues and understanding the impact of changes. However, adoption faces hesitance over their temporary nature and questions about replicating production conditions. Still, replicas aren’t always necessary for success in agile testing.
Quality is a top priority for every engineering leader, not just in terms of user experience and high availability, but also faster turnaround while making developers' lives easier.
This, coupled with the complexity of managing parallel development and testing, creates numerous challenges for continuous delivery.
Ephemeral environments are essentially smaller versions or subsets of a working environment - whether it is production, pre-prod or staging - where you can work in isolated environments.
It used to be difficult to test multiple features at once. But now, because we can isolate tests, it is easier to trace problems and identify the cause of issues.
