Skipping thorough testing? Here's why it's a risk you can't afford to take. On July 19, the world experienced what would be the largest tech outage worldwide. If you’re a software developer or tester, you've likely faced the frustration of a system failing right when it’s most critical. Did you know the complexity of today’s software is a significant reason behind these issues? It’s not just an occasional problem; it's a global challenge.
Our latest episode dives deep with Nikolay Advolodkin, Jason Baum, and Marcus Merrell as they explore a major software outage that recently disrupted industries worldwide. This episode is packed with practical insights and real-world examples of how to prevent such disasters, emphasizing the critical role of quality assurance and testing processes.
