Talk Description
In today's competitive landscape, where failure can be catastrophic and speed to market is a critical business advantage, development teams are under more pressure than ever to get software from concept to customer in as short a time frame as possible. The speed with which teams can safely get changes into Production is constrained by their understanding of the implications of those changes. 

So how do high-performing teams achieve the seemingly impossible task of delivering valuable software with increasing speed and frequency without compromising quality?

To deliver changes safely, quickly and sustainably, teams need to focus relentlessly on Testability, eliminating anything that makes testing difficult, slow, wasteful or less trustworthy. A whole team focus on Testability shortens feedback loops and accelerates learning while enabling more robust automation and deep, meaningful testing. 

In this masterclass, Rob recounts his testability journey and the lessons he has learned. He presents the models, exercises and workshops he used extensively as a test coach to build a whole team focus on testability so you can take his learnings to advocate and inform your own team about testability.

This Masterclass is kindly sponsored by Applitools. Applitools is on a mission to help test automation, DevOps, and software engineering teams release apps that are visually perfect -- by providing the only commercial-grade solution that validates the user interface of any app in a fully automated manner.
