Dungeons & Dragons: Becoming the Hero of the Sprint

Tara Walton

12:30-13:15 CEST Thursday 15th June

What do coding, testing, and Dungeons and Dragons all have in common? Spoiler alert: strategy. We all know the heavy demands placed on software teams today to code, test, and be a human in this era of remote work. As an automation developer and avid D&D player, I believe that developers and QA can learn a helpful thing or three from my favorite role-playing game.

In our interactive session, I will share 3 pragmatic strategies for how you can learn more about the value of testing in the development cycle, better partner with your QA teams, and spend more time doing what you love. In addition, we will use an evidence-based approach to explore how to continue to improve your collaborative and problem-solving skills, while transforming you into the hero for QA. Grab your dice and roll for initiative, as we level up on a Dungeons and Dragons style adventure in DevOps. Together.

What you will learn

  1. Not all testing skills come from testing jobs, so applying other skills sets might be just what you need
  2. Our teams can help drive quality be calling on each team member for their expertise
  3. Both teams and communities provided much needed resources to learn and grow

Technical Community Specialist – Independent, USA

Having spent nearly a decade as an Automation Developer writing test cases and delivering automated results for clients, I recently moved into the community side of DevOps when I found Salesforce. My automations have mainly been frameworks of my own design in C# and other backend languages, but I know just enough Javascript to be dangerous. When I’m not achievement hunting, I like to complete RCA on software bugs and failed relationships. I have dual degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science, know how to do some classic ballroom dancing, love Dungeons and Dragons, and enjoy sharing my knowledge at global conferences.
