Agility without discipline leads to fragility: Why and how of Automated Feedback Loops
Agile development is about adapting to change and deliver what's relevant to the customers and business. The vehicle to get there has wheels on two sides. Organizations often tend to focus on one side, the business aspect and the technical practices and discipline seems to go by the wayside. In spite of all the good intentions, the development turns into a crisis and becomes unmanageable.
In this presentation we will talk about the cost of creating automated feedback loops, the cost of not creating it, and how to lead teams to create successful automated tests.
