About this talk
This talk explores how the State of Georgia streamlined its QA and UAT processes to enhance code delivery speed and early bug detection. Jasmyne Epps, Unit Director of Digital Services Georgia, and James Sansbury, Owner of Tugboat, discuss the transformation of the software delivery lifecycle for GovHub, which powers over 80 state agency websites using Drupal. They address traditional bottlenecks that led to QA crunches, burnout, and costly rework, and detail the implementation of "shift left" testing to integrate QA throughout the development sprints. The session also covers the use of Docker, CircleCI, and Tugboat for testing infrastructure, alongside strategies for managing complex migrations and ensuring secure data handling in test environments.
