Testing Strategy for DevOps: What to Test and When

Your testing strategy is central to your ability to deliver better software faster. Excellent teams have a laser focus on testing, and this focus extends way beyond what we do before we release our changes into production.
Testing to support DevOps and Continuous Delivery is a core idea, and testing in Production is part of that game too. So what should we test and when should we test it? What kinds of testing techniques should we adopt?
In this episode Dave Farley will describe his take on what a holistic test-strategy looks like, and gives us examples from the real world to describe it.
