How to succeed as a Tester in a DevOps environment
Software Development is a complex thing. We are dealing with customers who do not exactly know what they want. We also have to deal with complexity, confusion, changes, new insights and half answers. This requires research and experiments to create valuable software.
In agile and especially DevOps approaches the motto is: automated everything! Some companies claim they do not need testers at all, other companies are T-shaping developers to do the testing. New kid on the block is AI and machine learning, that will definitely replace testing I hear people claim. Do we no longer need testers? I don't think so.

In this interactive session we will look at quality software, risks and value. We'll dive into biases and misunderstanding surrounding testing. Everybody in IT should understand what modern testing can look like and how it can be very valuable, fast and fun. Our clients expect us to speed up and go faster.

In this talk share my experience with many development teams as a tester and an agile/quality coach. We explore and discuss testing. In my stories I give examples of great testing in DevOps teams. Stories that inspired others to up their game and experiment with new ways of working. Join me to learn how to succeed as a tester in a DevOps environment! Even better: in ANY environment.
