Where to start with your DevOps journey?
Are you thinking about starting with DevOps? Or probably you’ve already started with your DevOps journey recently but you don’t know how to continue? Or you are overwhelmed?

Or maybe tackle the processes first? Or rather start with Cloud or implement CI/CD? Or maybe just start with Test automation. A lot of choices and therefore people have choice stress.

The tester is dead, long live the tester
IT is rapidly developing itself. New tools, methods and techniques are rapidly coming towards us. In addition, the demands of users and consumers are also getting higher. The system or the software must always and in particular work properly. IT is becoming more and more a commodity. Just like water from the tap or electricity from the socket.
