More than 100 developers and QA professionals turned out last night at Brightcove for a
discussion on automated
testing. What should be automated, tools and best practices for delivering quality software. William Josephson, co-founder of Solano Labs
kicked off the night with thought leadership on high performing teams. Overall, high-performing teams deploy code 30
times more frequently, 8000 times faster, have 50% fewer failures and restore
service 12 times faster than their peers.
More can be found in William’s presentation here.
Williams from Brightcove discussed balancing and the benefits of automated
testing across component testing, API testing, and web driver testing (browser
based testing). Keith’s presentation can be found here.

Pivotal
Labs, a full-service development shop is just opening it’s Boston office.
Pivotal believes their success is due to pair programming and test driven
development. David Tengdin, Software Developer at Pivotal explained that their
developers own code from development to production. Automated testing gives
them confidence that things are working. David’s presentation is
here.
Brunner Director of Quality Development at InterSystems revealed that they develop
a lot of code to test a lot of code. Check out Steve’s presentation for a ton
of best practices!
Senior Architect at Acquia spoke about testing infrastructure instead of the
applications. The days of manual configuration by sysadmin are over. Testing
has to be automated, fast and run as a clone of the production environment.
Cloud is awesome for this! Don’t think it’s going to work if you haven’t tested
it! Check out Barry’s presentation for what to test around the infrastructure. And
here is an added link to a longer presentation on the topic given by Barry
at DrupalCon
