User Experience Testing—with the Pilots at 18,000 Feet
Slideshow
All testers have users with unique needs. Are these needs included in your requirements? Lisa denDekker-Redemann says that was not always the case at UPS. Were we testing the mobile systems that our crew members use like we should? Sometimes to get it right, we have to go out into the... |

What to Do—Develop Your Own Automation or Use Crowdsourced Testing?
Slideshow

Slideshow
Software engineering as a discipline has come a long way. For some teams, months-long cycles of dev-test-build-release have shrunk down to mere days—or even hours. In the fastest, leanest organizations, most testing happens in parallel with development as part of a slick, continuous... |

Architectural Patterns for an Efficient Delivery Pipeline
Slideshow
Continuous integration has made development faster and more reliable. However, as codebases expand, organizations are finding that their build pipelines slow down dramatically. One of the most common reasons is that we often rebuild parts of the system that don't need to be rebuilt. |
