Undeniably, testing is a vitally important component of any successful IT release. Without the knowledge of proper testing, software can – sometimes very publicly – fail, causing unnecessary downtime, loss of customer trust, and decreased revenues, not to mention perception of a company’s reliability.  However, time-to-market pressures are counter-intuitive to traditional software testing best practices. 

With the advent of DevOps and the movement to break down silos between developers, QA, security and operations, it becomes critically important that all members of an IT team – regardless of what tools they use, or role they play – understand the essentials of testing.
