Cherif shares how his team manages application testing across both cloud and on-prem environments, why manual and exploratory testing still play a crucial role, and how tools like Testkube, Terraform, and ArgoCD help automate quality at scale.

They also dig into the cultural side of QA: how to foster shared responsibility for testing across dev and QA teams and why testing in production doesn’t deserve its bad reputation.

If you’re working in a regulated space or looking to improve your cloud-native testing strategy, this conversation offers practical takeaways you can apply right away.
