Sun, 25 Jan 2015Maintaining Quality at ScaleOver the past year, we’ve put a lot of work into figuring out how our team can continue to iterate quickly while still producing quality code and avoiding technical debt. The three things that I think have been most helpful at this level are forming and adhering to specific code style and conventions, practicing a comprehensive and collaborative peer review process, and testing.Source: nerds.airbnb.com

Fri, 28 Feb 2014Testing at AirbnbWe went from a handful of brittle tests to a large, resilient suite. We’ve gutted our continuous integration stack and reduced our build times from 1 hour to about 6 minutes, while simultaneously handling many times the number of builds. Most importantly, we’ve gone from an engineering culture in which most new code shipped without a single test, to one in which a proposed change without tests will quickly be called out and corrected. In short, we’ve not only become a team that believes in tests; we’ve become one that actually writes them.Source: nerds.airbnb.com
