What is the recommended ratio of developers to testers in a software development team?A) 1:1 B) 3:1 C) 5:1 D) 7:1 E) A LOT :1

I work in an organisation where some domains we think are doing OK. They are CD, YBIYRI, product teams delivering to production in some instances multiple times a day.In other domains they have not really even started on that journey. They are projects not products and follow a more siloed, phased, document heavy way of working.We have a mandate to help these other domains on their journey to CD.We do however want to be sure we are safe to scale. We traditionally have only used trailing metrics (e.g. DORA) which tell us how we DID. We have a gut feel that as we scale we may need metrics that are more leading (e.g. measuring engineering signals like code complexity or, dare I say it, code coverage) which tell us how we ARE DOING.We think we are aware of the usual gotchas in measurement and so our measurement principles include things like: don't measure individuals but teams, don't set arbitrary targets, don't use metrics to judge across teams but to help each team have better evidence-

If you could magically eliminate one common widespread misconception about Software Testing, what would you wield away and why?

Do you have any new-year resolutions? They can be both testing-related and non-testing related. 🙂For me, it is to be more active as an author and speaker. Hopefully, you’ll see the results soon. 😉 From the professional point of view, there are several certifications I have my eyes on in 2024.

I signed up for the Load Testing. Best Practices, but am not seeing any way to join the webinar.

Hi Community 👋🏻,lately, I have published a video about AI features for software testers on my channel:  In the video, I am presenting current AI features software testers can already use. I was wondering if you use any of the mention tools in your environment, and what are your experiences with them? Also, I would be interested if you use already other AI tools or features on a daily basis.  I am really curious to see your comments on this topic, since AI is (from my point of view) a topic that is disrupting many industries similar to the smartphones have done from 2007 onwards.Have a great day!Best,Daniel
