Analyses of the Wired Article: “The Software Revolution Behind LinkedIn’s Gushing Profits”
Wise and ambitious IT executives take test automation and continuous testing seriously. A case study of implementing daily production releases (i.e. real agile) in a large IT organization.
Wired is one of the most respected technology magazines. In the “Silicon Valley” TV show, featuring on the cover of Wired is a big thing. In my previous articles, I refer to this Wired article, “The Software Revolution Behind LinkedIn’s Gushing Profits”, a few times. My readers seem not deeply impressed by the article as it to me nine years ago. I will share my thoughts here.
