In this session, Ashwini Lalit delves into how Quality Engineering teams can leverage a data-driven approach to Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to achieve quality excellence. Traditional workflows often mask inefficiencies and bottlenecks behind agile ceremonies and feel-good optics, making it challenging to gauge the true readiness of release deliverables. By combining VSM with agile principles and DevOps tools, Ashwini demonstrates how to visualize workflows holistically, streamline production releases, and transition from reactive to proactive quality processes.

Attendees will learn how VSM helps identify inefficiencies, automate data collection, and analyze key metrics to drive continuous improvement. This talk will also cover actionable strategies to integrate VSM, agile, and DevOps practices for informed decision-making, fostering a data-driven culture that ensures consistent quality and innovation throughout the development lifecycle. Whether you’re looking to optimize processes or enhance software quality, this session offers the tools and insights to transform your approach.

This video is of one of the sessions presented at #Testflix - World's Leading Virtual Software Testing Conference, 2024.
