Observability - Holistic Quality across Software Systems | Sidney Karoffa | TestMu 2025
In this TestMu 2025 session, ππ’ππ§ππ² πππ«π¨πππ, Technical Systems Analyst, Cella, explores the growing role of observability in quality engineering and why it is becoming a must-have skill for modern testers. Once considered separate from QA, observability now provides powerful ways to strengthen quality systems and foster collaboration across teams.
This talk covers the fundamentals of observability and its importance in the software development lifecycle, focusing on the three main telemetry types: logs, traces, and metrics. Through real-world examples, Sidney demonstrates how observability enhances defect detection, improves reliability, and integrates into holistic quality systems.
