As companies realize the need for rapid application development, they are embracing DevOps methodologies. But implementing DevOps practices without establishing a culture of quality often results in lower quality software or a poor customer experience, which impacts the business bottom line. Join Gajan Pathmanathan as he shares proven approaches for ensuring quality and testing throughout the software development and delivery pipeline, while still maintaining agility and speed. Gajan presents a roadmap for building quality into the fabric of DevOps and fostering a quality-driven mindset, discusses the importance of efficient testing feedback mechanisms, and then suggests a spectrum of off-the-shelf tools such as Docker, Selenium,and AppDynamics that can be used to infuse continuous quality throughout the software delivery pipeline. Leave this session with ideas, approaches, and tools to help shift an organization’s culture, process, and technology toward quality.

When I Change One Line of Code…

20. Unit Tests vs. Integration Tests

25. @gajanp

26. Lack of:
○ testing (duh!)
○ predictability and auditability
○ collective ownership and accountability
Why These Happen? #ShitHappens

27. Value Propositions
o Quality baked in; not an afterthought
o Reliable, secure, and maintainable software
 Cost - Defect prevention and reduction
 Time - Get our life back in order
o Predictability
