Shift Left: Engage Business Users in Automation Early to Remove Risk and Accelerate Agile+DevOps Timelines
BizDevOps is an approach to software development that encourages developers, business, testing and quality assurance (QA) teams to work collectively. This approach enables an organization to align closer to business deliverables while minimize risk and shorten deployment cycles. Integrating the business quickly and early, gaining their process understanding and involving them in process discovery are keys to moving from DevOps to the BizDevOps framework. Moving code to production faster does not help when the code does not help business be more efficient and nimble.

3 Major Ways to Improve API Test Automation as Part of Your CI/CD Pipelines
API automation is important now more than ever, in a world where we are building more than we can keep up with to ensure useful software that fills the needs of our users, how can we make sure we are doing all in our power to work as efficiently as possible to deliver on what users expect? We'll discuss 3 key actions a testing team can take to meet these expectations.
The Key to DevOps? Testing Early in the Pipeline
As teams become more deeply integrated into the DevOps lifecycle, they find that quality becomes a bottleneck to reaping its full benefits. Traditional QA practices of waiting until post-merge for functional testing are not cutting it in this new era of lightning-fast development - teams need to test earlier and more often.
In this session, learn how to implement E2E testing at the earliest stages of development: from initial code build, to proposed changes in a branch, to ephemeral environments and merge to default. This practice enables teams to solve issues faster, proactively...
An Antidote for an Ailing Agile Implementation
Most companies have started an agile journey, however the vision of agile does not match the reality of what has been implemented. What is the right approach to address the difference between vision and reality? How do you accurately understand your current situation and devise action plans that align with your vision and goals? In this session you'll learn about the knowledge and skills necessary to overcome these challenges and keep your agile journey alive.Join members of the Coveros Agile Solution Delivery Team to learn:
How to start with an appropriate vision and well-articulated...60 Minutes to a More Robust Agile DevOps Framework!
Successfully working with Agile DevOps tools and Agile management frameworks, such as Scrum, SAFe, Scrumban is challenging. These frameworks are based on lightweight process models and are intended to be augmented as necessary by individual teams for their project context. This is in contrast with traditional project management methods, which have well-defined processes and standardized templates and are intended to be configured for a specific project. Focusing on Atlassian solutions, this presentation proposes extensions to framework models to enhance formal requirements and test case...

Value of Certification in Agile & DevOps
Testing continues to evolve as Agile, DevOps, and now DevSecOps are the new standards for the software application lifecycle. Great efficiencies have been gained and automation plays a larger role in development, testing, and deployment. With a “shift-left” mindset, testing is now more involved, and earlier in the process. Automated processes continue to make inroads, not only for testing but for quickly and efficiently move code from unit to system testing, then to production, and finally with monitoring and continuous improvement steps to provide feedback and increase quality. This adds...

DevOps DORA Metrics and Beyond – Implementation Demystified
While the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) group’s metrics are taken as gospel for tracking DevOps success, many enterprises have a hard time getting started. Some organizations have even lost business since they could not establish DevOps compliance, owing to lack of visibility throughout the DevOps lifecycle. Given the value of continuously tracking DevOps success is already established, and the potential business impact of not doing so is huge, why haven’t enterprises been able to get started and crack the code?
