Combined Engineering, Observations from the Front Lines
“Combined Engineering,” or the merging of the Developer and Test roles into a single discipline, is a hot topic in the software industry today. Many companies are either considering moving to a combined model or have made such a change already. Is this just the trend du jour or is it a seismic shift in the way we’ll approach software engineering moving forward? What impact do these changes have on product quality and the engineers working in these roles? In this talk we will explore some of the pros and cons of “Combined Engineering” and share some tips and lessons learned from one engineer’s experience living on the front lines of this transformation.
