Recorded 03/27/19
DevOps has introduced us to a world where the traditional boundaries between development and operations are gone. Teams own their application from that first commit, into production. But what does that mean for testing?
Join our STP Community Webinar host, Smita Mishra, as she leads this panel discussion with Theresa Neate and Hilary Weaver-Robb. These seasoned Testing Professionals will discuss their experiences with testing, development, and a leadership perspective in a DevOps world. They will also discuss how testing has evolved, and the types of testing they are focusing on now.
Session Takeaways:
- How our roles have evolved
- What is the role of a tester (and developer!) in a DevOps world?
- What skills are needed for testing in DevOps?
- What kind of testing, and when, are we looking at now?
