Bringing quality where it matters
Site reliability
Quality in production
You live and die by Murphy’s Law, knowing that anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible moment.
QA who?
What will happen when...
Quality what?
- No bug reopened in Jira?
- 100% test coverage?

- Integration tests done in UAT?
