Continuous testing, continuous delivery, DevOps, digital transformations – these are all very popular terms in the last couple of years, and they all involve a shift in the way we deliver products, testing included! But when the product is providing automated financial advice or other financial services to their customers, the risk becomes a lot higher. So our first reaction is to be a lot more cautious before delivering it! But why? 

I will walk you through a journey into how our teams are trying to get into a faster delivery pipeline, shift testing as left as possible, whilst still having the confidence that our products provide suitable financial advice to our customers. And this is not about the delivery team only anymore, the whole business is included! We will look at steps we took and experiments we tried and what we learned from them. It’s not a once and done anymore, it’s not a test phase at the end of a long journey, it’s a long continuous process, an ongoing process of learning and adapting!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Quality is not ensured only through the test phase
• Automation is an enabler, but everyone needs to trust it
• Learn & adapt continuously as a delivery team
