Full-Coverage Testing in Small-Business Environments

Add to calendar

In small-business environments, testing is often completed in hindsight—or overlooked entirely. Chad Jung, Curtis Severance, and Kaleb Weddle will discuss the struggles and successes of ensuring a quality product from the perspectives of a developer, lead software test engineer, and software engineer in test working together on a DevOps team. They will show how to use an automated build pipeline, how to bring it all together for your team, and how to leverage developers who know the in and outs of the code better than anyone. They will discuss the pressures of releasing faster and the importance of unit testing, including which unit testing approaches work and which do not. They'll speak about how they tackled automation tests for functional and regression testing, as well as the tools they used—those that failed and those that succeeded. You'll realize the importance of continuous regression testing and why user feedback is critical to success.
