Luis recently delivered his presentation "Testing is great but... are tests enough and do you have great tests?" at the office of my employer. The talk was very well received. During his talk, he demonstrated how well designed automation can transform development culture of a company. In his first part he walked us through evolution of a tester - it's much more just a developer taking on testing tasks or old style QA person learning one more scripting language. Later he introduced us to his "team" of several neatly designed bots. Automation bots for tackling repetitive and error prone tasks, allowing developers to concentrate on adding value. Chatbots for increasing visibility of events in the system. And amazing Inspector Murphy - for killing all erroring and forgotten services in your development environment. All of the bots built to create right carrot and stick incentive to help developers do right thing easily and prevent them from following wrong pathways and making mistakes. I highly recommend to listen to Luis's talk if you have an opportunity. Especially for any software engineer, QA, or anyone who is interested in software quality and devops culture. It's loaded with info and fun to listen to.

Justgiving.com is the best charity platform around. They provide a platform to allow both charities, fundraisers and crowdfunders to raise money for charitable and personal causes. My main responsibly was to lead the SDET function. This involved shaping the .net core/ kubernetes pipeline for JG and my team. This involved introducing container only tests (component tests), were we tested the docker container (without code modification, just switch configuration m to stub implementations at the build step). We used localstack to add predictability to listener tests and so we could develop and test locally. Created several virtual team members: GoCDSlacker - the process enforcer Inspector Murphy - the kubernetes quality enforcer Genesis - the microservice generator Skutters - production support bot, the autofixer Just Passing by - continuously tests and reports, the watcher App Registry - the Microservice register and scraper, the quality tracker Just Anarchy - contributed to Aspnet core library for chaos, the breaker Show less
