Watching the fallout from the Crowdstrike bug, it raises important questions around testing principles and quality assurance. Bugs are an inevitable part of software development, highlighting the significance of thorough testing processes and risk-based testing strategies. It's crucial to have multiple layers of assurance to prevent such incidents. Spare a thought for the teams involved as they navigate through this challenging situation. #QualityAssurance #SoftwareTesting #CrowdStrikeBug

Arjan Codes published this video reflecting on all this CrowdStrike incident thing, and I felt I needed to share it. He is truly stating a very important problem for the future of our industry: the quality of our software development going forward needs to be better than ever. Development is slowly becoming a less-human process everytime, and while I don't think it will become completely AI-driven, it will have a percentage of involvement, and there will also be more and more software around us, and potentially more dangerous in the future. So, what's the problem ? Our industry needs to understand the value behind quality processes like code standards and best practices, linters, type checkers, unit testing, secure git processes using pre-commit, pre-push, protected branches, strong CI/CD pipelines, human code-reviews, etc. https://lnkd.in/dWKyXkSS

Intrigued by the recent #CrowdStrike incident highlighting the importance of robust preventative measures in software updates. Reflecting on the significance of release mechanisms in avoiding such outages: - Comprehensive Pre-Release Testing: Ensuring thorough testing of system configurations and third-party integrations. - Phased Rollouts: Gradually deploying updates to assess impact before full-scale release. - Beta Testing Programs: Engaging partners in testing to detect issues pre-release. - Improved Monitoring: Utilizing real-time anomaly detection and swift response teams. Aiming to enhance our strategies for building better guardrails to prevent unforeseen disruptions. #SoftwareUpdates #PreventativeMeasures
