The Quality Journey – Delivering Great Products through Smart Analysis

Greg Paskal shares the journey his team is taking, increasing the quality of the products they develop, and benefits realized by the introduction of Elastic Stack and Kibana toolset. From a simple challenge, to find ways to measure quality metrics to their initial steps to record quality and risk data to be mined by ElasticSearch. The resulting efforts have caught the attention of engineers at Elastic, as one of the first known usages of Elastic Stack to increase quality and reduce risk across the software development lifecycle.

Learn how the team built critical partnerships to enable rapid innovation. Greg shares how those first wins gave vision to where these quality insights could be implemented earlier into the development lifecycle. Greg shows us the first visualizations he created, bringing accurate insights of measuring quality and how they’ve continued to evolve with usage.
