Transformation at scale
summary
Canva runs a year‑long program across 2,000+ engineers to remove a half‑day outsourced manual regression gate and unlock independent deployments; the team builds a Quality Platform with new automation frameworks, dashboards and leaderboards, adds a notification/approval rule to block new manual tests, and phases from carrot to stick—result: manual tests in the release process move toward zero manual tests, deployment velocity and ownership measurably increase.
