I haven't read the full thing but one thing you can do is institutionalize some of this stuff. The screenshot here especially:

You can institutionalize this practice at your org in some ways. At my org we have:

* strawman apps for our cloud systems and our windows services to practice deployments and startup/shutdown behavior without having to wait to compile full apps

* alwaysfails and alwayspasses tests in our test projects for confirming how test frameworks behave and our test reporting/logging function

* to some extent, health check pages on apps can hold limited tests https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/techniques/health-check-p...

Maybe the zine encourages that, haven't read it yet, but looking forward to digging in based on recognizing this strategy.
