SYNC Ipswich - A quality first approach to software development - Ryan Howard

Our thanks go out to Ryan Howard, How QA for his incredible talk. You can watch the video below, enjoy!

The Talk:

Of course, we all want our products to be perfect, but quality is not a given. Quality needs to be worked at, just like every other part of the development process. What’s more, quality is not black and white. It can have a different meaning for different people and at different times during development. During this session we will look at 5 key questions when it comes to quality

✔ What? – What is quality? How can we define it?

✔ Why? – Why does quality matter?

✔ Who? – Who is responsible for quality?

✔ When? – When should start caring about quality?

✔ How? – How do we implement quality?

This session aims to give you the tool kit required to start thinking about quality, what it means to you as a business and how you can ensure quality is at the forefront of decision making. We will look at the impact of building a ‘quality culture’ and how this can increase confidence in your products, speed up your route to market and allow you to release with less risk.
