Stability Through Rapid Growth

Sam Jarman, SailthruPart of DW17

A bug in an app can probably be fixed in a few days with the App Store’s new speedy turn around, but if you’re shipping an SDK to slow moving enterprises, you’ll want to be a bit more careful as it could be months before the fix goes out. This talk tells the story of rapid growth, and what that means for testing, process improvements and scalability of code. We’ll talk about techniques for doing releases with confidence to millions of users. These techniques include unit, UI and network testing. We’ll look at AWS Device Farm and how it can be incorporated into your development workflow and release processes.
