De-Risking the Deployment Process

Add to calendar

In a world of continuous delivery, deployments happen faster than ever. But while every organization wants to move faster, many teams struggle to keep up with digital consumers’ expectations for quality. Join Philip Soffer to learn how smaller companies can reduce risk in their deployment processes by combining automation with human insight and performing functional and nonfunctional tests in a synchronized process. Using real-world examples, Philip will discuss the interactions among continuous integration, automated functional testing, crowd testing, feature flagging, and production monitoring. You’ll leave with the abilities to solve for potential performance issues before deploying software, to save resources on post-deployment re-engineering, to ensure in advance that your product will perform in new and diverse environments, and to minimize user experience performance and functionality issues prior to customer introduction.
