Lisa Crispin: Holistic Approach to Testing

There's so much more to testing than just writing automated tests that run in CI. Testers on high-performing teams don't just write tests. They work closely with site reliability engineers, ensuring that the infrastructure is tested as well. They get involved in production. 

But how does one introduce this holistic approach to testing to one's team? Even more so, how does one introduce continuous integration to an organization, if it hasn't been adopted yet?

In this podcast episode, we welcome Lisa Crispin, Author, Agile Testing Coach, "tester by trade",  in her own words. Among other things, we talk about a holistic approach to testing, how to shift from shipping many times a day to once a month, and how to help organizations adopt continuous integration.
