Prathyusha delves into the recent Microsoft and CrowdStrike incident that brought significant disruption and how it highlights the urgent need for robust testing practices.

We’ll explore the pitfalls of outsourcing testing, the significance of testing in any industry, and the inability of a single individual to manage it alone. Prathyusha shares insights on contract testing and shift-left and backward compatibility testing, which could help avoid such mishaps. Additionally, she discusses the emotional impact of software failures, the nationwide attention they grab, and the necessity for companies to reevaluate their quality assurance priorities.

Prathyusha also reflects on her experiences mentoring tech professionals and their common challenges, such as setting up automation environments and lack of recognition within organizations. We discuss how contract testing can ensure API compatibility across different teams, preventing disastrous deployment failures.

Listen in to hear Prathyus discuss essential strategies, such as selective rollouts, comprehensive testing, and a detailed rollback plan.
