QUALITY, COVERAGE, AND TEAMWORK:

THE HOLY TRINITY OF USA TODAY'S WINNING DEV/TEST TEAM 

Improving coverage, quality, and teamwork -- which lead to faster, better releases -- requires a seamless merger of leadership skills, engineering savvy, advanced best-in-market tools, and cross-team collaboration and communication. But although most organizations claim they're committed to agile development and digital transformation -- including fully automated CI-CD processes -- this is not a simple task: 75% of companies that have started this journey testified to failure in achieving those goals. 

So what is the secret of success of the 25% of companies that have triumphed with implementing this change?

Greg Sypolt -- Director of Quality Engineering @ Gannett | USA Today Network -- will share the steps he took on his successful quest to conquer a fully automated CI-CD release pipeline, while supporting dozens of different apps, across a myriad of digital platforms covering thousands of end-user engagement points.

In this live interview hosted by Joe Colantonio -- founder of the Guild Conferences and TestTalks podcast -- you will discover what is Greg's secret recipe for building a winning Dev/Test team that delivers quality software products - faster.

Topics will include:

• Hiring for success: building a winning Dev/Test team
• Establishing and maintaining a culture of teamwork and effective communication
• Improving test coverage - with more accuracy and less code
• Accelerating release cycles - while improving quality but without going over-budget
• Tools of the trade: what is in Greg's tech stack that he can't and won't do without

After the presentation, Greg will answer your questions in a live Q&A session.
