Track: Agile Testing
At Etsy we have spent the last several years learning to move fast at scale. Building on the precedents set by organizations like Flickr, IMVU and Facebook, we have created a testing methodology that is highly automated, low-ceremony and involves participation from individuals across the organization. As our development cycle became more rapid many challenges to testing arose: What is the exploratory tester’s role in such a fast-moving environment? How does one validate simultaneous releases by many different functional teams? How would the feedback loop between the tester and designer need to change? Many of the answers to these questions appeared counter-intuitive at first: never cutting release branches, eliminating the staging environment, asking engineers to assume responsibility for testing their own code.
The end result is an online marketplace with hundreds of thousands of active sellers collectively drawing over a billion page views a month. We look forward to telling the story of how the Etsy team learned to move fast, mitigate risk and deliver quality.
