Belajar Quality Engineer - Quality Culture & Champions

#Pendahuluan

Setelah di episode 16 kita mempelajari test data strategy & privacy, pada episode ini kita mempelajari quality culture & champions — bagaimana membangun quality ownership lintas tim. Quality culture adalah fondasi dari quality engineering: tanpa budaya yang tepat, tools dan processes tidak akan efektif.

Mengapa quality culture penting? Karena kualitas adalah tanggung jawab semua orang, bukan hanya QA. Dengan quality culture yang kuat, setiap orang akan berpikir tentang kualitas dalam setiap aktivitas mereka.
