The Role of the Test Professional in Today’s DevOps World

A DevOps approach to software development is all about constantly delivering value to the business through continuous delivery of software-driven innovation, with incremental and frequent releases of new features and functionality to meet the demands of today’s consumer. In this new world, the level of quality in the software being released is directly tied to a company’s success or failure. So as software quality is key to success, why do test professionals often feel ignored during the development process only to be blamed for defects escaping into production? The role of the test professional has become more important than ever before. Join Marianne and Al as they share how the testing roles fit into a DevOps approach to software development.

• Understand the organizational challenges test professionals face and leave with insight on how to break down cultural barriers.
