We’re kicking off Season 2 of Engineering Quality with a very special guest - Lisa Crispin, a true pioneer in agile testing and one of the most influential voices in the quality engineering community.

In this episode, Lisa joins Ale, Veronika, and Royalee to explore holistic testing - an approach that goes beyond “testing early” and looks at quality across the entire software development lifecycle.

We discuss:

  • What holistic testing really means (and why it’s more than shift-left)

  • Why quality is a shared responsibility across the whole team

  • How to build shared understanding before code is written

  • Practical techniques like risk storming, example mapping, and pipeline mapping

  • How testers can influence change without authority

  • The power of relationships in DevOps and modern teams

Whether you’re a tester, developer, product manager, or engineering leader, this episode offers practical insights and inspiration to help you build better software - together!
