Three Pain Points to Address Today
▪ Inability to scale
▪ Bo[lenecks & delays
▪ MisconfiguraFons
▪ Bug-hunts
▪ Inaccurate test results & wasted test Fme
▪ …
#1: Environment/infra work is far too manual and error-prone

13. 13 |
Three Pain Points to Address Today
▪ Incomplete knowledge of the full process
▪ Lack of insight into actual causes of delay &
error
▪ “Black box” for stakeholders
▪ Also, becoming more and more complex as
mobile, IoT etc. are thrown into the mix
#2: The end-to-end process of getting code from dev to prod is too slow and error-prone

14. 14 |
Three Pain Points to Address Today
▪ AcceleraFng delivery requires significant
automated tesFng capabiliFes
▪ More automated tests = more spurious
failures, more “needle-in-a-haystack”
problems, longer execuFon Fmes, etc.
▪ Need to be able to make sense of all the test
data quickly and with confidence
#3: How to maintain quality?

4. StandardizaFon
5. Dev(.+)Ops
