Lowering IT Infrastructure Costs with Simulation

Wednesday, October 4, 2023 - 11:30am to 12:15pm

Applications built on microservices require a different approach to testing – but they also provide an opportunity to shift testing even further left. There are several things that developers and testers can do prior to deployment to validate that new features are safe to deploy into the integrated environment. By working together to shift more testing to the feature level, they can reduce the amount of API and functional testing that's required and improve test coverage across the board.

A Journey Towards Deeper Performance Insights

Wednesday, October 4, 2023 - 2:45pm to 3:30pm

Properly assessing the performance of a complex system is a long and difficult journey and is becoming incredibly important and measured. With the large adoption of high-speed networks, users’ expectations are becoming more and more important, and cart conversion rate measures show this explicitly. To gain confidence into their systems, vendors have to drive formal performance testing stages and the pain point is that running meaningful performance tests generates lots and lots of data which are painful to analyze, and it might be easy to ignore some of the information contained.
