Dev vs QA: Should There Be a Difference?

In the standart Drupal development process, development and QA teams often work independently of each other. As project teams transform from traditional workflows to Agile or DevOps, it can be challenging to get independent Dev and QA teams to collaborate. Not only because each team use different tools, but there can be this sense that code is rushed and thrown over the wall for bugs to be cleaned up in testing. At the very least, this can cause tension between teams, and ultimately, the customer suffers.

How do you eliminate this tension, get everyone to adopt new processes, improve teamwork, and focus on delivering value to customers?

During the session, we will discuss these issues, why improving teamwork matters, and steps you can take to improve teamwork and focus on customers.

We will cover the following topics:

• Why should QA and Dev work together in the first place?
• What hurdles must be overcome to improve how QA and Dev improve collaboration?
• What successes and outcomes has the panel experienced as a result of improving teamwork?
• Specific action steps and small changes you can put in place right way.
