DevOps Ideology & Testing in DevOps with Jani Haapala

Quality Bits

What is DevOps? Is it just continuous releases and speed? How do we test in teams embracing DevOps?
Jani Haapala is a DevOps Architect with a Quality Consultant title. In this episode, Lina talks to Jani about that fluffy word of "DevOps", the misconceptions about it, and testing in DevOps. You'll learn more about the concept, get some stories on what good quality there looks like, and gather further resources to deepen your knowledge.
