Major Tools
Jest, Vitest, Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, JUnit
CI/CD Tools
Tools for automating continuous integration and continuous deployment. Managing automated testing, building, and deployment upon code changes.
Trend
GitHub Actions and GitLab CI are popular. Cloud-native CI/CD is mainstream. Security scan integration is also prioritized.
Major Tools
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, Travis CI
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Tools for defining and managing infrastructure through code. Automating servers, networks, storage and other resources to achieve consistent environment construction.
Trend
Terraform is the de facto standard. AWS CDK and Pulumi are gaining attention as next-generation tools. Infrastructure management automation is advancing through GitOps integration.
Major Tools
Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Pulumi, AWS CDK, Ansible, Chef
Security Tools
Tools for strengthening application and infrastructure security. Providing vulnerability scanning, secret management, access control, and compliance auditing.
