Automated testing is a cornerstone of Continuous Delivery. Automated functional testing ensures that your software is working across your value stream and that your organization has fast feedback when it's not.

This webinar covers best practices for keeping your functional test suites long-lived and healthy -- from test strategy and tools all the way to coding practices.
