A Practical Guide to Testing in DevOps
Katrina Clokie
http://katrinatester.blogspot.co.nz/p/about-me.html

DevOps encourages the development and operations team to work together. This broadens the network of people who collaborate to deliver a product, which creates opportunities for the boundaries of testing to expand and nature of testing to evolve.
Testing pushes right, towards production, once the development team understand the skills, practices and tools available in operations. Examples include on-demand infrastructure that enables testing in a production-like environment, feedback from A/B test experiments provided by customer metrics, or beta testing groups that offer rapid customer feedback.
In this session Katrina will share a few thoughts on DevOps, share some common DevOps practices for testing during development, in production, and against infrastructure, then explain how and why DevOps might alter test strategy.
