The Game of Continuous Delivery
The holy grail of a modern QA professional is to achieve high quality while continuously delivering features to customers, and the only way to achieve that mission is via continuous testing and delivery. The most critical step in agile transformation and continuous delivery adoption is identifying the bottlenecks in the product development cycle. Tanya Kravtsov will describe tools and methods that facilitate that discovery process and explore ways you can use mind maps, innovation games, and more to identify, prioritize, and resolve bottlenecks. You'll learn ways to deal with the most common bottlenecks that cripple development progress: data, environments, and testing. Tanya will share her experiences with combating these bottlenecks and talk about tools and processes that helped her to overcome them.
