Most developers and operations engineers are natural testers. Testing is pervasive in these roles, even when we don’t name a task as testing or consider test separate from other activities. But there is a difference between being able to do something and doing it well. We can all run, but only some of us could finish a marathon. There are opportunities for those who test by instinct to discover and practice techniques to develop testing skills. In this talk, Katrina will identify the test thinking in non-testing roles to shine a spotlight on testing in DevOps for engineers. She will introduce oracles to encourage broader thinking about what is unit tested and how production problems are discovered. She will explain the relationships between automated test and monitoring assets to illustrate how these can be re-used beyond their normal contexts. She will describe an inclusive approach to test strategy in a DevOps culture that brings people together to create a collaborative approach to risk.
