DevSecTestPerfCodeUseOps - get rid of this Bullshit-Bingo and just do it
DevOps isn't exactly a new idea - unless you're part of a team that missed the memo a decade ago or got tangled in politics. It's supposed to be just 'Development' and 'Operations,' meaning everything needed to develop and operate software well. Simple, right? So why are we splicing in every quality aspect as a separate ingredient?
Let's stop spinning our buzzword wheels and focus on doing things right, without all the acronyms. We'll dig into the history, laugh at ourselves a bit, and remind us - development was always supposed to be the whole package. Time to stop playing around. We do not have 'SeatbeltCars' either, just 'Cars', right?

Failing with Grace: A Tester's Guide To Error Culture
Errors happen. When they do, focusing on how they present rather than if they occur can be key. Known as the 'service recovery paradox' users even report higher satisfaction when minor issues occur, but can be solved. High standards in error handling benefit not only users but also aid in faster error mitigation, localisation and communication with support.
This talk covers error strategies, common pitfalls, and the value of a shared error culture within development teams.
Zielpublikum: QA managers who want to go beyond true/false checking and want to learn what the unexpected reveals about the internals of software quality.
