Steve Bower interview at DOES15
summary
Cisco moves most unit tests into developers' hands to cut wait time, claiming faster feedback and fewer handoffs. QA retains responsibility for system-scale interoperability while developers run 200 independent tests locally and, crucially, across a cluster parallelization instead of squeezing six at a time on a single machine. That cluster runs the full suite simultaneously, materially shrinking cycle time and improving throughput and developer productivity.
