What would you teach to a team who knows little about Engineering and what's needed to create a product/service from scratch in Engineering? I was recently hired for an early-stage startup and want to help the founding team see the real scope of what we will be facing.

Has anyone started exploring the incorporation of AI tools and training into their developer communities, particularly in the government space where we tend to be more risk-averse? I’m interested in hearing about the strategies you're using to evaluate these tools and how you distinguish between those offering real value and those that might be overhyped. While tools that simplify code reviews, generate test cases, and ensure automated test coverage are top of mind, I recognize there may be other valuable AI applications. I’d love to hear how others are navigating this space, especially in areas where risk management is a key consideration.

I want to challenge a vendor on their anticipated testing effort for a proposed software delivery project, which seems way to low in my experience. The project is to migrate a dialer system to cloud, which includes a bunch of custom functionality. How much percentage of total capacity do you normally allocate to testing for such a cloud migration (test setup, execution of tests (if not automated), etc.)? I am looking for a figure like 20% of all development efforts should be allocated to testing. Any ideas?
