Testing and Continuous Integration at Scale: Limits, Costs, and Expectations

Build and verification systems and processes have changes significant in the past decade and so did the corresponding development processes. In fact, build and verification systems are a lower bound of how fast a company can ship new features-the more time spent to compile and test code the worse the company's ability to compete on the market. In other words, verification is key but needs to be affordable-in terms of money but also in terms of time. This keynote will be about some fundamental concepts of modern industry software testing, costs and limits that apply to verification, and expectations of software developers and teams against build, test, and development processes.
