How To Build Quality Software Fast • Dave Farley • GOTO 2022

Every PM and every SM should see your videos! They're that important!

They should I agree but 99% of them prefer playing politics 😉

Dave, once again you deliver, thank you! Another missed opportunity in less frequent releases is the ability to triage system safety problems more easily. Example: in our team we had a memory leak only present in production introduced about a week ago, because we are releasing so little so often, we were able to identify exactly the release that lead to the leak and rectify the issue within just an hour. I’ve got tons of examples of what our team has been able to achieve by just employing some of the ideas that you have been spreading the pas couple of years. Thank you

Thank you for the video, I really love it so much

Great talk! I did come across the mention of the HP laserjet team. But I lost the reference. Would you mind sharing it? And, is this anecdotical, or is there a body of studies supporting it? After all, we want to use facts!

They wrote a book about it: "Practical Approach to Large-Scale Agile Development: How HP Transformed LaserJet FutureSmart Firmware"

Again, an oversimplification of replacing manual testing with automation testing. Unfortunatly, our applications, products, software are not being used by "robots" but by humans. Unless you start having highly complexe test automation that take human interaction into considerations, but complexe test automation brings other problems and AI testing is not yet ready. Relying only on automation test (more precisly "automation check") does help improve the speed of delivery and improve code quality, but will not significantly improve product quality. I had so many examples of teams ditching manual testing and then regretting it later... I doesn't mean you always need to add these "week of manual testing". They are many other ways and technique to speed up quality validation in a ci/cd pipeline without waiting 3 weeks to see issues! Maybe Dave have other video on this, but I haven't found them.
