Break Things Faster! (But Not in Prod)

This talk was held on February 19, 2020.

The Indeed Money teams work diligently to ensure that no major bugs escape to production, so rigorous QA practices are essential. If a team lacks a dedicated QA automation engineer, or new feature work outpaces automation coverage, then more work shifts to manual QA.

This can slow a team down.

In this talk, we learned how automated regression testing helps our Money teams move faster, without breaking our financial systems.
