It is a very good presentation. We need to put more effort on unit and interface testing and reduce UI testing.
This article http://adtmag.com/articles/2010/07/30/is-google-going-agile.aspx talks about Google looking to release Chrome browser every six weeks.
A Google program manager last week announced the company was changing its software development methodologies to speed up stable releases of the Chrome Web browser.
"Running under ideal conditions, we will be looking to release a new stable version about once every six weeks, roughly twice as often as we do today," said Anthony Laforge in a post on The Chromium Blog .
The three reasons for the change were listed as:
- Shorten the release cycle and still get great features in front of users when they are ready
- Make the schedule more predictable and easier to scope
- Reduce the pressure on engineering to "make" a release
