Quality Engineering in a SAFe World
Speakers:
Jermaine Oldham – Sr. Director, DevOps, SDLC, & Enterprise Quality Engineering at J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc.
Abstract:
Rather than thinking “I wrote good code”, organizations need to challenge themselves on “How do I know I wrote good code?”
Agile & DevOps are flexible and responsive methodologies that have rules contrary to the traditional mode of testing. Underpinned on the basic principles of Agile Manifesto, a SAFe has built-in quality as one of its four core principles – bringing Quality Engineering into focus. As the users’ demands for faster time to market increases, the need emerges to shift from assuring quality, to shifting left & engineering quality from the beginning. To accelerate software delivery & improve quality, enterprises need to focus on creating a culture of quality based upon Agile & DevOps best practices. In addition, enterprises also need to focus on breaking down cross organizational team silos to accelerate Quality & Speed via Continual Feedback promoting a quality culture driven by continuous delivery & continuous testing. DevOps helps organizations increase accountability for coding best practices, drive predictable production outcomes, and streamline software delivery via automation. SAFe focuses on bringing lean and agile practices into picture to align the traditional processes with the business goals to manage complex architecture and processes with ease and at speed.
