商品描述

An airline is supposed to make the experience of booking a flight easy, trouble free, and reliable. But when scheduling software breaks down and flights get canceled, customers will walk, and heads will roll. That’s what Leigh Freemark faces the day she and her team launch a software upgrade that fails spectacularly and hits the media immediately. As Senior Director of Quality Assurance, her job is to make sure that code is market ready. And she’s the one who must face the music when it doesn’t.

Tasked by senior management to find and fix the source of the failure, Leigh discovers just how essential it has become to radically improve the process of software development by introducing a concept called continuous testing. She must quickly learn what it means, how it works, and how to build it into her company’s legacy system.

But she soon discovers that managing change is much more difficult than it first appears. The airline business is changing fast, yet old traditions and loyalties still dominate. As she fights to convince her team to change or perish, she discovers that obstructions and opportunities come in surprising forms.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一家航空公司應該讓訂票的體驗變得簡單、無憂且可靠。但當排程軟體出現故障，航班被取消時，顧客會選擇離開，責任人也會受到懲處。這正是Leigh Freemark在她和團隊推出一個失敗得驚人的軟體升級，並立即引起媒體關注的那一天所面臨的挑戰。作為質量保證的高級總監，她的工作是確保程式碼準備好進入市場。而當程式碼未能達到標準時，她必須承擔後果。

在高層管理的指示下，Leigh被要求找出並修復故障的根源，她發現徹底改善軟體開發過程變得至關重要，這需要引入一個名為持續測試（continuous testing）的概念。她必須迅速學習這個概念的意義、運作方式，以及如何將其融入公司的舊有系統中。

但她很快發現，管理變革比想像中要困難得多。航空業正在快速變化，但舊有的傳統和忠誠依然主導著行業。在她努力說服團隊改變或面臨滅亡的過程中，她發現障礙和機會以意想不到的形式出現。

在《基蒂霍克創業》（The Kitty Hawk Venture）一書中，作者提供了一個關於持續測試重要性的深刻教訓，同時帶領讀者進入商業航空的世界。每一章都提供了獨特且重要的學習機會，包裹在快速推進的敘事中，並包含有趣的人物、引人入勝的情境，甚至還有一些幽默。這本書以“持續測試的飛行計畫”作結，這本計畫本身就是數位領導者在持續測試旅程中的寶貴資源指南。這個故事對於任何曾在軟體開發或依賴軟體的公司工作的人來說，都能立即引起共鳴。

本書適合誰閱讀 C級高管、應用程式和質量的副總裁、DevOps副總裁、架構和策略經理，以及中小企業和大型企業的專業人士。
