10 Tired Trends In Software Testing Discourse
- yepzer 10y agoHi Noah, just a comment from my context. I deal with companies with large SAP and Dynamic AX bases, with telco's that have 30 years legacy systems still live. They will have a hard time to go CD, both cultural and technological. They should I think - but until then, their problems are not solved with how google, facebook, spotify have built CD and automation in from the start.
- joshin4colours 10y agoThis is a great post with lots of great pieces of commentary. I love it. My only criticism is that while CD has a lot of benefits for developers working on a product, it definitely comes more from a web/SaaS perspective than a desktop perspective. Some ideas don't directly carry over to software products that are desktop-based or embedded software (make incremental changes often, recovery from failure is important). Some systems either can't update frequently, such as desktop products that don't natively have networking built-in. And some systems really should not fail if it can be avoided, like medical device software. Of course, context is everything in software but I do feel like CD needs to address these contexts and realize it may not work for them.
