Deprecating Simplicity - Building a New Test Culture

GOTO Conferences via YouTube

Overview

Explore the concept of continuous verification and its impact on software engineering in this thought-provoking conference talk. Delve into the tension between feature velocity and system complexity, challenging common assumptions about availability and simplicity. Examine mental models of architecture to distinguish between accidental and essential complexity. Learn about dynamic safety models and the economic pillars of complexity. Discover how optimizing for feature velocity through architectural decisions can lead to increased system complexity, and consider the implications for modern software development practices. Gain insights into building resilient systems and rethinking traditional approaches to testing and verification in the context of rapidly evolving software landscapes.
