Build Smarter, Develop Faster - Enhancing Developer Productivity in the CI/CD Era
08-22, 15:15–15:45 (America/Halifax), Scotiabank Lecture Hall

In this talk, you'll learn how to enhance developer productivity in the CI/CD era by optimizing your testing and build processes. Discover how running a subset of tests for each pull request (PR) can accelerate feedback and streamline issue resolution. Additionally, explore how caching techniques can significantly speed up test execution by reusing previous results. These approaches will help improve efficiency, maintain high code quality, and support faster development cycles.
