In The Brain of Hemal Kuntawala & Michael Wagg: How we build quality software at uSwitch.com
How we build quality software at uSwitch.com
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.
