new talk: Testing Pyramid and Consequences

I'm giving a new talk!  This Wednesday in Pasadena for the LA Software Testing meetup, and again soon in Santa Monica at the Testable LA meetup.

The traditional testing pyramid is a useful tool for investing in tests which deliver business value... but there are a lot of subtleties. In this talk I'll highlight each area of the Pyramid, then discuss extensions and variations, so that we all can more fully deliver wonderful quality code, quickly!
