Listen to an inspiring talk followed by practical workshops
During the meetup you will learn how to make automated testing an integrated part of your daily software development. In the first part, Mike Bland will talk about his own experience with implementing The Rainbow of Death approach in Google.
As Mike explains, The Rainbow of Death is a custom-tailored, multi-dimensional approach based on timeless principles that drove the development of tools and processes that ultimately produced a permanent cultural shift that helped avert a potentially significant crisis and that continues to benefit not just the company, but its customers and society at large.
In the second part, if you’re new to automated testing, or would enjoy a refresher on the basic concepts, “Automated Testing—Why Bother?” will illustrate the fundamentals by walking through working examples from a real application.

About “The Rainbow of Death” talk
It’s not easy to make a shift from “too hard to test” or “didn’t have time to test” attitude but there is a simple solution called a “Rainbow of Death”. This approach based on timeless principles is a key to a cultural shift towards transparency and collaboration. The ultimate goal is to make the right thing the easy thing.
