Bridging the gap between vision and execution in the effort to create a robust, engaged engineering workforce depends heavily — though not solely — on culture. So, how do you continuously improve corporate culture — and, in this case, an engineering culture — that inspires people to do their best work every day?

At its essence, a DevOps culture involves closer collaboration and a shared responsibility between development and operations for the products they create and maintain. The understanding that developers who build it, also run it, brings developers closer to the user, with a greater understanding of user requirements and needs.

Data Engineers were tempted by the pressure of the moment to give up on testing all together. Nevertheless, Data Engineers started to suffer from repetitive work, having to wait for the data to be loaded, or for the output to be validated. In many cases, these tasks ended up on the shoulders of the Data Engineers themselves.

For many developers, unit tests and integration tests are often top of mind. When developers write code as loosely-coupled modules — as it usually should be — the components rely on explicit contracts for how they interact. Many engineers gravitate toward it when writing functional tests to complement their non-functional tests.
