6. 1. Fast Ladislav Prskavec - HiveTalks, 9.1. 2019 6
7. Fast 4 Do you know your time to deploy? 4 Do you know how much time is spent in queue? 4 What is the maximum acceptable time for your build (5, 15, 30 min, 4h)? 4 Do you monitor those times or just guessing? Ladislav Prskavec - HiveTalks, 9.1. 2019 7

9. How we solved this problem? Ladislav Prskavec - HiveTalks, 9.1. 2019 9

20. Process Ladislav Prskavec - HiveTalks, 9.1. 2019 20
21. 1. Responsibility Every test and helper needs to be clearly assigned to some team so in case of issues the team can be reached. Ladislav Prskavec - HiveTalks, 9.1. 2019 21
22. 2. Maintenance There's a team responsible for every test, so flaky and long running tests can and should be a part of the sprint work. Ladislav Prskavec - HiveTalks, 9.1. 2019 22
23. Consistency Ladislav Prskavec - HiveTalks, 9.1. 2019 23

25. 3. Scalable Ladislav Prskavec - HiveTalks, 9.1. 2019 25
26. 4 How long are people waiting for CI results? 4 Can you run your tests in parallel? 4 Can you add 10 developers into team and time to deploy will stay the same? 4 How much does your build infrastructure cost? 4 Do you have budget for build/test infrastructure?
