	Climbing the Mountain of Continuous Deployment Slideshow Trying to reach continuous deployment (CD) can feel like scaling a gigantic mountain full of sheer faces, icy passes, and incredible dropoffs. When a company doesn’t take the proper precautions on its journey to CD, it can result in an overworked engineering organization and high-risk issues reaching the end-users. Join Michele Campbell as she discusses key insights about the journey to CD her company is on right now. In just three short months, the organization has managed to double its number of production releases, without overwhelming teams or causing the quality of the program to suffer. Learn what it took to get there, including the tools that were built, how an organization-wide effort was led, and what goals were set and met.	Michele Campbell

	Testing at 43,000 Feet: Reporting Risk That Matters Slideshow Testing dashboards can give stakeholders the false impression that projects are under control. But are they really?

	Ditch Your Bug-Tracking Tool: 3 Solid Tactics to Minimize Bug Counts Slideshow A bug-free product release is an ideal that testers, developers, and project managers strive for, but when it comes to the go/no-go decision, the balance is often struck between "good" and "good enough," leaving behind a rotting to-do pile in the bug-tracking tool that is rarely acted upon...	Jerry Penner
	Use BDD and Product Analytics to Change Your Vision of Quality Slideshow DevOps teams struggle to ensure quality in multiple daily deployments.
