Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing great. I'm currently diving into the world of software testing and feeling a bit overwhelmed with different types like unit testing, integration testing, and frontend testing. My main confusion is whether, as a DevOps engineer, I need to write all these tests myself or just ensure they are properly automated in the CI/CD pipeline. So, who is actually responsible for writing these tests—developers or DevOps? I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this!

Ideally, your developers should be the ones writing the tests since they’re the ones who created the application. They’ll know exactly what aspects need to be tested. As a DevOps engineer, your role is to make sure those tests are included in the pipeline so they run automatically.
Thanks for your insight! So, as a DevOps learner, should I focus more on reading about different types of tests or is there practical work I should dive into?
