Quality
Quality is contextual but measurable via collaboratively defined signals across user, business, engineering, and operational perspectives.
Test coverage
Coverage is a signal, not proof or assurance. Quality comes from understanding risks, behaviours, interactions, uncertainties, usability, accessibility and emergent failure modes.
Continuous Quality
There are bound to be many different definitions of Continuous Quality, just as there are with many things related to the term Quality.Personally, I believe it refers to something bigger than just the SDLC. There are so many elements that need to come together in order to achieve Quality and not all of them are obviously a part of the SDLC in it's simplicity of Ideation to Production. — Philippa Jennings

Dissolving the Quality Gate - Phillipa Jennings
Thank you so much for celebrating my talk from PeersCon Melissa. I think it is incredible just how many gates we as testers are still standing next to -- where we are still acting as the guard between the 'work' and the 'world' as per when it was first introduced back in the 1970s.
We can keep trying to shift the gate by doing things earlier, but I firmly believe that we need to focus on Quality as a System, to underpin how we approach our products and our product quality from the start.
