Summary

Balancing documentation with speed is crucial in today's fast-paced development environment. To achieve this balance, a centralized strategy that incorporates best practices and team collaboration can help streamline the process. Having a reference wiki space to store long-term strategies and testing guidelines saves time and reduces duplicate information. Additionally, breaking down stories into smaller pieces and focusing on specific functionality makes it easier to design tests and create test plans. As teams adopt Test Driven Development, documentation becomes less necessary as automated tests become the driving force behind code development. The need for speed in Continuous Delivery models requires teams to find ways to balance writing tests with delivering products in a shortened timeline.
