Talk Description
This talk explores the importance of understanding quality in the context of a contemporary engineering practices such as Extreme Programming, CI/CD and Devops. When quality is owned collectively, it can facilitate testability and shift testing closer to the design process.
Do I believe testers have a place in this future? Absolutely! In fact, I think the role of a tester is needed more now than ever but perhaps not in a way we have traditionally seen our roles.
A must for anyone moving to contemporary engineering approaches.
Key takeaways from this talk:
- Learn how testing fits into quality
- How testing might fit into contemporary engineering practices
- A way to have a conversation about quality at your workplace
