🖖 Beyond the exception with Root Cause Analysis

Richard Adams
We're very happy to have Richard Adams joining us in Brighton once again, for a fantastic workshop about RCA (Root Cause Analysis)!
RCA is a powerful, yet underused, tool to help us build better quality software.
Many teams will identify the missed test case or erroneous exception cause, add a new fix or test, and then move on.
This does not protect ourselves from making the same, or similar mistakes again.
What you’ll learn:
👋 The power of asking why
🤝 The value of collaboration over the documentation
💪 How RCAs can be valuable data to drive change
Join Richard at #MoTaCon on the 1st of October in Brighton, UK
