DevOps is the word of the day in technology. DevOps conferences pack convention centers, and developers have anointed themselves the new “kingmakers.” But what does this mean to testing? Join the HP Lifecycle and Quality team as we take you on our own journey of DevOps exploration, adoption, and success based on an approach that keeps quality at the center and drives both better developer, tester, and operations alignment and efficiencies through relentless automation. Through a shift left testing approach, empowered with Big Data analytics and an automated pipeline, testers are a core part of application delivery success in a DevOps environment and vital to the business goal of delivering amazing applications fast with confidence. In this presentation we will discuss both the cultural and process best practices that ensure quality at the center of DevOps and demonstrate the specific skills and tools that will augment and accelerate that journey.

Many development and test organizations must work within the confines of compressed release cycles, various agile methodologies, and cloud and mobile environments for their business applications. So, how can test organizations keep up with the pace of development and increase the quality of their applications under test? Clint Sprauve and Todd DeCapua describe how service virtualization and network virtualization can help your team improve speed and increase quality. Learn how to use service virtualization to simulate third-party or internal web services to remove wait times and reduce the need for high-cost testing infrastructures. Take back techniques to incorporate network virtualization into the testing environment to simulate real-world network conditions. Learn from Clint and Todd how the combination of service and network virtualization allows teams to implement a robust and consistent continuous testing strategy to reduce defects in production applications.
