DevOps’ sister site Digital Anarchist has launched a bi-weekly video series and companion monthly roundtable on DevOps, Automation, CI/CD and testing. Featuring leaders in all of these areas, we explore the challenges and issues software delivery and IT teams face every day.

And that, in the nineties, the urge to unbind ourselves from that waterfall world and that heavy documentation world created agile, but it also created the context driven school of software testing, which is a humanist approach to software testing.
