Talk Description
Releasing to production five times a week without automated tests is possible and might even be beneficial. 

Setting up test automation capabilities is a long road to travel, but it is possible to frequently release while building those capabilities. Maaret shares her story on this journey in the hope to give you ideas on your journey.

Maaret worked at a place that does daily continuous delivery with very little test automation. They weren’t always like this. Several years ago, they used to deploy once a month. Watch this Masterclass to find out how they continuously deliver without automation and still improve on quality.


What you’ll learn

By the end of this masterclass, you'll be able to:

  • Discover the basics and benefits of continuous delivery
  • Identify how to continuously deliver without automation and still improve quality
  • Recognise the importance of developer-tester collaborations when delivering continuously
  • Discover the basics of exploratory testing and its importance in continuous deployment
