LinkedIn Is Open Sourcing Their Testing Frameworks (github.io)

Posted by timothy on from the doesn't-mean-I-want-to-join-your-professional-network dept.

destinyland writes: LinkedIn is open sourcing their testing frameworks, and sharing details of their revamped development process after their latest app required a year and over 250 engineers. Their new paradigm? "Release three times per day, with no more than three hours between when code is committed and when that code is available to members," according to a senior engineer on LinkedIn's blog. This requires a three-hour pipeline where everything is automated, from committing code to releasing it into production, along with automated analyses and testing. "Holding ourselves to this constraint ensures we won't revert to using manual validation to certify our releases."

    I think that you lost the war for 'what engineer means' when 'train engineer' became common lexicon a long time ago. Perhaps you could take the better fight that 'Software Architects aren't really Architects'.
