How to Transform Dev and Test Silos into a Team
summary
Claim: breaking dev/test silos shortens feedback loops and cuts delay, raising profit; a live demo shows an 8x faster cycle when dev and tester work together. Practical tools: set a customer-centric common goal, walk in their shoes to share tools/processes, use regular retros and meet‑ups or video with cameras on. Expect distributed teams, varying management support (full, semi, mixed), and diverse team styles. Use a small‑experiment improvement cycle—experiment, learn, adapt—and scale what actually works rather than forcing uniformity.
