Industry Technical Presentations

Competing for growth is a game of seconds. Superior customer experience is the #1 differentiator for digital success today. Wearable devices and the apps that power them promise to change consumer life and employee productivity. Developers and Quality teams must meet the demanding needs of users whose expectations for a flawless experience are changing.

Digital transformation is one of the latest buzzwords and on the lips of most management consultants and consulting companies today. What is digital transformation? And what does it mean for your business and more important, what does it mean to you as a tester? This session will cover what digital transformation is, what it means and what challenges you might have with digital transformation as well as how different tools and approaches can help you in not only surviving, but coming out with flying colors. Join Oracle and Hitachi Consulting to learn more.

Join Perfecto Mobile’s discussion and say Yes to extending your CI process to mobile projects.

• Yes, you can automatically deploy builds on real devices in every Jenkins build. 
• Yes, you can perform automated functional testing every build cycle.
• Yes, you can shift left with early single user performance profiling.
• Yes, Fast Feedback helps create better software

More than theory, watch Perfecto Mobile demonstrate an end-to-end Jenkins build while pointing out the ‘gotchas’ of automated app testing on real devices executed in parallel.

• How to record from devices and playback device-specific content
• Why you need to emulate packet loss, latency on top of bandwidth
• When to use device simulators vs. real devices

• The difference between business need and agile delivery creates a conflict that slows the overall software delivery process down
• Learn how to drive better collaboration between stakeholders when defining products  and eliminate "manual heroics,” such as using spreadsheets for backlog and requirements management
• Understand how to spend more time developing and less time in meetings with Borland Atlas, a platform that plugs into existing agile tools and ALM repositories to give real time visibility to all stakeholders while linking stories and epics to high level bus

Businesses today have zero tolerance for defects in production. At the same time, they also have a stated expectation from the quality assurance (QA) organization to reduce cost AND deliver superior end customer experience. How, you may ask, is QA meant to deliver to these seemingly conflicting demands?

The answer lies in the twin concepts of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD).

• Software testing can be challenging at the best of times and then introducing regulatory requirements makes the task even more daunting.
• For example, what is important with compliance is to be able to trace to all the verification artifacts... test cases, test results, objectives, validation of changes, etc.

• This session explains how a holistic Continuous Testing process can help you balance speed with quality
• Learn how to reduce the number of defects being injected into the application
• Mitigate existing risks before they progress to the next stage of the SDLC.

• Michael will discuss continuous integration/continuous delivery, the required technical skills needed to implement, and how automation is embedded
• The audience will gain a perspective of how Continuous Integration works from the Development roles to QA roles and what processes are critical to implement for success
• Knowledge of how different automation tools & platforms will integrate together including Visual Studio (C#, C++, Objective C), Java,  Jenkins, Jira, Qmetry and other tools
