In this session from XebiaLabs we want to discover the different faces of testing in DevOps. We all know testing is an ever recurring theme, but to deliver our applications successfully, practices have to change and we have to broaden our scope. During this session we will focus on the different faces of testing. They occur at 3 different wavelengths.

The talk is based on real examples and also the pain to get there will be shared.

Kalle Sirkesalo from Eficode will present how microservices and IoT are in constant use at Sauna and why Devops is the most important thing in this.
