QA with Continuous Delivery; Stop relying on browser based automated tests
Details
TALK DESCRIPTION Re-architecting your systems into microservices and embracing DevOps techniques are not always enough to go faster. ThoughtWorks find that the quality assurance step is often a bottleneck. Your systems, teams and processes must be designed with quality in mind. This talk will describe the practices that companies embracing continuous delivery do to ensure quality and robustness in your systems without hampering innovation and productivity.
• What is the right level of Quality? How to makes sure you are not prioritizing building your product right over building the right product.
• Doing QA in production; how quality assurance and monitoring your systems could be treated as one and the same.
• Architecting your application to increase testability; using loosely coupled systems and teams to prevent dependencies in a centralized QA department
• Stop writing large suites of end to end browser based acceptance tests, how to push testing down the pyramid for increased productivity.
