Even Maxine is stunned by how quickly the entire Data Hub Dev team starts using the new environments. Everyone is using one in some fashion or another. They’ve spread like wildfire. Some are just using the Docker images on their laptops, some are using environments in vagrant, Git, or terraform configurations, simulating both Dev and test environments.

More importantly, Purna and the QA teams are using the Data Hub environments as well; once features are flagged as “Ready to Test,” they’re tested within hours. And because tests are being checked in with the code themselves, it’s easy for the developer to quickly reproduce and fix the problem.

This new way of working means that many defects and even a couple of features are completely implemented and tested in one day. Because of some reporting requirements that Maxine doesn’t quite understand yet, they’re still having to use two separate ticketing tools. But the Dev and QA teams are coordinating more closely than ever. In fact, many of the QA teams are sitting side by side with developers each day. Some in Building 5 and some in Building 7.

Watching how the teams work reminds Maxine of her startup days, where everyone was working together toward a common goal. She’s amazed at how quickly attitudes changed in Data Hub.

Over the next three days, they close out more fixes as “shippable” than they used to in most months, and everyone’s energy is high and enthusiastic. More importantly, Maxine knows that everyone is having fun.
