Getting Quality Right

Today’s systems require an impressive array of qualities: always online, fast, robust, elastic, scalable and secure, or whatever your stakeholders refer to as "quality".
Nonetheless, the same stakeholders frequently encounter difficulties in expressing their precise quality requirements.
Thus, it is not uncommon for fundamental qualities to remain implicit and ambiguous, resulting in challenges for development teams in delivering the desired product and system quality.
In the opening part of the talk, I showcase a lightweight methodology that assists teams in enhancing these requirements.

The second part explores the concept of “quality driven architecture”, an effective approach to achieving these qualities consistently and systematically.
This prevents over-engineering and shortens time-to-market.
Attend this talk if you want to support your development teams and learn a pragmatic yet effective approach to product and system quality.
