The DevOps movement is here. Companies across many industries are breaking down siloed IT departments and federating them into product development teams. Testing and its practices are at the heart of these changes. Traditionally, IT organizations have been staffed with mostly manual testers and a limited number of automation and performance engineers. To keep pace with development in the new “you build it, you own it” environment, testing teams and individuals must develop new technical skills and even embrace coding to stay relevant and add greater value to the business. DevOps really starts with testing. Join Adam Auerbach as he explains what DevOps is and how it relates to testing. He describes how testing must change from top to bottom and how to access your own environment to identify improvement opportunities. Adam dives into practices like service virtualization, test data management, and continuous testing so you can understand where you are now and identify steps needed to instill a DevOps testing culture in your team and organization.

What is DevOps?
DevOps is a Philosophy Change

DELIVER HIGH QUALITY WORKING SOFTWARE FASTER
DevOps is a philosophy where teams
are accountable for everything
required to get their code
developed, tested and deployed to
production, while shared service
teams provide the automation and
tools to enable them.

• Group 2 –
• Create a list of all things QA has to wait to be performed in order to
do their work.
• Prioritize the list based on time and frequency of the wait.
• 20 minutes for the teams and 10 minutes for the readouts.
