How I Contributed as a Tester to a Machine Learning System: Opportunities, Challenges and Learnings
Have you ever wondered about systems based on machine learning? In those cases, testing takes a backseat. And even if testing is done, it’s done mostly by developers themselves. A tester’s role is not clearly portrayed. Testers usually struggle to understand ML-based systems and explore what contributions they can make. This is a journey of assuring quality of ML-based systems as a tester.

Secure Delivery: Better Workflows for Secure Systems and Pain-Free Delivery
The software delivery process has been transformed in the last decade; we’ve adopted well-understood workflows around functions such as testing, release management and operational support. In this article we'll explore the impact that security workflows have on software delivery, explain the root causes and share battle-proven techniques to show how we can make delivering secure software easier.

Increasing Team and Individual Motivation with the Motivational Diagnostic
Being motivated can make a positive difference to both our engagement and our success in the workplace. The same is true of teams - a motivated team is much more likely to be engaged at work and achieve results. The motivation diagnostic tool helps people understand more about how motivated they feel, and the factors that are contributing towards that motivation or demotivation.

Bringing a Product Mindset into DevOps
To be successful, organisations need two things: products and services their customers find valuable, and the ability to deliver these products and services well. This article shows why we must design, implement and operate our delivery pipelines (the means of turning ideas into products in the hands of users) as we would any other product or service: by adding a “product mindset".

From Async Code Reviews to Co-Creation Patterns
This article dives into the throughput and quality of the async code review process, which are very important dimensions to optimize for in product development teams. It also explains why co-creation patterns – Pair and Mob programming – as an alternative way of working are able to optimize for both of those dimensions, instead of needing to trade off between them.

Individualized Testing Processes - One Size Does Not Fit All
Many organizations in the software industry have fallen into a state where they have set processes that are used across the organization and teams. Every team is not the same, so why are their processes all the same? In this article we’re going to explore what it can mean for teams to have individualized processes that are formed by the context of the work they are doing and of the team itself.

How We Built Testability with Psychological Safety
Testability can enable teams to make changes to their code bases without requiring extensive regression testing. To build testability, team members must collaborate and leverage each other's unique skills. Unfortunately, effective collaboration does not come naturally to people and therefore needs leadership to nurture people's ability to speak up and share their knowledge.

Why is Everything So Slow? Measuring and Optimising How Engineering Teams Deliver
As teams grow, they will slow down, but it should not mean that teams stop delivering value that can power future business growth. Avoiding excessive technical debt and ensuring systems are secure and performant becomes increasingly important. As an engineering leader, you can do things to be confident that your team is moving at the fastest and most sustainable pace.
