A DevTestOps Landscape Panel
A candid discussion around how testing processes are breaking in tech transformations.
In 2018, mabl conducted a survey to learn how the role of testers/QA professionals is changing as more software delivery teams move towards continuous delivery and build a DevOps culture.
The survey results surfaced some serious issues around testers on teams adopting DevOps and CI/CD, such as feeling more stressed than any other team, less satisfaction around testing processes and effectiveness - all while never even reaching the full potential of DevOps.
A panel of leading testing practitioners shared their insights about the survey results, and answered questions, not only about DevOps and CD, but traditional testing and quality processes and the pitfalls to avoid in tech transformations.
