Track: Leadership Perspectives for Testers
Some treasures are worth the plunder as they yield vast amounts of riches and jewels. Other treasures are often better left untouched. This session is about a treasure that no organization wants to see or face but the rewards for acknowledging and destroying the treasure is vast and bountiful. As we continue to see companies grow and expand, organizations are building VERY strong feature sets atop a crumbling architectural foundation. Learn what the seven deadly sins of technical debt are, and the steps you can take to eliminate them! See firsthand what the very obstacles are that we are trying to avoid yet falling right into their path. Learn what the tester’s role is in helping to make certain we never pitfall into this environment again. Leave armed with the steps we can take to adjust the rigging and make certain we never sail down the path of endless debt again.
