Hemal and Mike will provide an experience report on how we build quality software at uSwitch.com. Around 9 months ago the development team shifted from having a separate QA team to adopting a whole-team approach for building and delivering software with quality baked in. This talk will explain why we made this shift, provide an insight into how we achieved it from a people and process point of view and delve into tooling. This will include: - Why testing along the production line is better than testing end-of-cycle.

- How we make sure we get thorough acceptance criteria up front, before we start development.

- How we automate execution of acceptance criteria with cucumber and watir.

- How we run these continuously in TeamCity.

- Why we stopped using QTP and Selenium.

- How our developers learnt to think like testers.

- Why we stopped using the words 'tester' and 'testing'.

- The importance of BDD for writing testable code.

- How kanban principles help radiate information on development and provide tracking and reporting on quality.

- Peripheral activities that help us continuously release quickly and confidently.
