Ted Young of LightStep proposes trace testing, using distributed tracing data to unify testing and observability. The KubeCon-era talk argues for testing against trace data rather than treating tests and monitoring separately.
Mostly linked by a company in its recurring hiring posts as a tech talk showing its approach, rather than recommended by commenters.
