For many software development teams, even agile teams, it feels like testing and stakeholder validation come at the end of the process. Teams want to move on and move fast, but problems are discovered and the whole thing feels like a bottleneck that strangles productivity. Or worse. The frustration can lead to pointing fingers and bad blood between developers and stakeholders.
But when you “shift left,” you find problems earlier. Testing and validation can be sprinkled throughout the whole cycle. Powered by a good DevOps setup, shifting left can save your organization money and improve team morale.
In this webinar, Jasmyne Epps (Testing Lead at Digital Services Georgia), David Burns (Director of Support & Maintenance at Lullabot), and James Sansbury (Director of Product at Tugboat) will discuss:
- How moving testing and QA earlier in the cycle can save an organization money.
- How to free up your developer talent to think strategically and focus on improvements.
- How to use DevOps to build trust and confidence across your organization, with tools and tips to help you get started today.
You’ll also get a glimpse at how Georgia.gov maintains 80+ websites while continuing to innovate and improve.
