However, accelerating upstream to write code faster won't help if there are bottlenecks downstream. How can we speed up QA?
Get the QA specialists to help early on and provide critical guidance, but make the engineers responsible for the environment.
Engineers and QA should share responsibility, rather than devs finishing a task, throwing it at QA, and washing their hands clean to move onto the next task.
Instead of waiting for downstream processes to finish to complete work, we can engineer a situation where they work together and get work out faster.
Compared to our suburban road, the racing environment is far more controlled. The speed limit can be pushed much further.
If we can control our environment, we can allow for significant speed when delivering software.
We want to engineer a predictable environment, rather than…
