Deployment is the goal

We get things so ass-backwards. How do we get code from development team to the end user? I’ve written an article on this subject at InfoQ. I hope you like it.

    Gary, thanks for the comment. I wouldn't shoot you down. The moment a dev team thinks that testing is someone else's problem, the rot sets in. Or the build, for that matter.

    Nice piece. There's a reason why companies, and even volunteer projects, don't instinctively want to release very frequently: experience teaches us that releases introduce bugs. The key to overcoming this resistance to frequent releases is (IMHO) comprehensive functional and non-functional testing. As all the non-developer types involved with a release gain confidence in the release process as solid, so the frequency of releases can be accelerated.

    I'm not a developer, so it's easy for me to say, but the better the dev team I've worked with, generally, the more time spent on testing, and vice versa. Feel free to shoot me down....
