Featured in a “Getting To Know You” Session at work

It is a great feeling to be acknowledged and appreciated at your workplace, not just for what you do at work, but also for everything you bring along – your passions, your talents and interests beyond your desk – For Being You!

It was an honor to be featured in the ‘Getting to Know You’ session by my CSS Org at Alteryx amongst top leaders and executives and by such a dynamic and talented host, who is an @Alteryx veteran!

The session was focused on my personal as well as professional life, my career journey, my background and my interests work. We talked about my passion for trainings and learning, the conferences I speak at and my blog. The twins got a special mention and loads of adorable comments too! ๐Ÿ™‚

It went great and we had so much fun just chatting, with loads of fun questions by the hosts as well as the audience!

It was immensely gratifying and humbling to see how interested people are in my story and how many great words of appreciation came back to me after the talk!

Though the recording is for the internal folks, here is a glimpse of the end-

As always, I am grateful for each opportunity that comes my way to connect with such wonderful people and be given a platform like this to share my story. Thanks @Alteryx!

Cheers!

Prevention is the Best Cure- for Defects in Agile

The agile methodology focuses on building in quality from the very beginning of the software lifecycle. That is why we aim to find and fix defects early on: A defect found and fixed in an earlier lifecycle phase is a multitude cheaper than the same defect at a later stage.

But how can we more easily make it possible to prevent defects from percolating deeper in the software development lifecycle by fixing them in their nascent stages?

This is the main theme of my latest article for @Gurock TestRail blog – where I explore and explain ways to foresee, analyze and thwart defects in an agile context.

The main points discussed are-

Communication

Conduct Reviews

Demonstrate Often

Static Analysis and CI
