At Hootsuite we ship code to production multiple times a day; deployment is automated and kicked off and monitored by developers.  In this environment how does QA help contribute to safe deployments with high quality and minimal bugs?  In this talk Mike will discuss what Hootsuite’s process is, what is working and some things that have proven not to work.
