Putting the Q in DevEx

DevEx, Developer Experience/Excellence, is a hot topic in software delivery these days and DORA and SPACE metrics are being tracked and used in a growing number of organizations. As both these frameworks for example look at ‘Lead Time To Change’, I think we should be able to consult and help this metric using our test automation knowledge. We, as QA specialists, can use these metrics,support them and use them to our advantage.

In this talk, we’ll look at the background and difference between DORA and SPACE to set the stage for a quality perspective. Quality deliveries and performance build upon age-old testing paradigms and even create new opportunities for us to play a role and have different conversations about testing. We’ll dive deeper into the aspects of both abbreviations and look at where QA meets these trending metrics.

With this knowledge, you’ll bring home a new view on excellence and your part to play. Whether your company already uses either of these hip buzzword frameworks or not, there are takeaways in them that we should be applying to enhance the quality, as we’re meant to do in our current roles.
