Content

Many teams trying to use agile ways of working struggle to deliver good-enough software frequently and consistently. They’re bogged down by production bugs, stuck on test automation, and lack time for critical activities like exploratory testing. Observability feels out of reach, and continuous delivery or DevOps cultures seem like impossible goals. 

If this resonates, join me to explore how a holistic approach to testing can help your team tackle these challenges. We’ll dive into automating effectively, collaborating in cross-functional teams, and building what your customer truly needs. Through a case study and hands-on exercises, we’ll explore practices like guiding development with business-facing tests, exploratory testing techniques, and mitigating risks by focusing on the right quality attributes. You’ll also learn how to integrate human-centric testing and automation into your pipeline and use tools to visualize your strategy. We’ll wrap up by designing experiments to help your team continuously improve. By the end, you’ll leave with a testing toolbox and actionable steps to build quality software with confidence.
