The #1 KPI is not how fast a developer codes, but rather how long it takes from the time a developer starts to work on a new feature till it gets to production.

Organizations are eagerly adopting containers and Kubernetes, investing in cloud-native to foster innovation and growth. According to the CNCF and Slashdata, nearly 5.6 million developers use Kubernetes. That’s 31% of all backend developers. We all know that Kubernetes is a great container management platform.

It has become increasingly important as organizations move towards digital transformation and the need for instant feedback on ideas or products. Agile testing is an approach to testing software where you write tests first and then develop code around those tests.
