I have started to spread my wings within the company I work for into another area that hasnāt really had any quality love for a very long time and basically I am teaching them all what quality means these days. That quality means so much more than just automated testing.
I started this last week with their leadership team but in order to help āscale meā with these thoughts, they have asked are there any good videos and/or articles they could read to get a better idea of what I do.
The last time I did this, I took my other team on this journey while I, too, was also going on this journey, so it was easier. This time, however, a few years later, I have forgotten what those resources were.
Does anyone know of any good videos/articles/blog posts that give a holistic view of quality in software engineering?
To be more concrete: The single definition I see universal applicable is āQuality is value to some person at some timeā from Michael Bolton (Link).
This is an abstract definition. Anything more concrete depends on your context.
Some examples:
for some people has fast delivery a higher value than having less bugs
for some people has accessibility a higher value than other things
for some people is haven as few bugs as possible a higher value than effort and cost (imagine spacecrafts or submarines)
for some people is having an easy maintainable product a higher value than other things
From a programmerās perspective, the C++ annual conference is a great resource. If C/C++ and languages is your corner of the woods this is a good update https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNi1-x4pojs
