Breaking The Barriers Between Dev & Ops

DevOps aims to break the barriers between Dev and Ops. This also necessitates breaking the barriers between Dev, Test and Ops.

Testing operations undergo a major change in a DevOps culture. Therefore, everything changes for testing.

• The tester’s skillset,
• Methods,
• The way they test,
• When they test and
• The way they plan and execute.

DevOps brings testing into the mainstream of development processes, and avoids the problems created by having “big-bang” testing left to the end of the cycle, such as release delays, and quality issues.

In this session, Chris Knotts, PMP – (LinkedIn profile) will give you a brief overview of DevOps and the impact on Software Testers.

A great deal of project and program management is focused on development, operations, and maintenance efforts.

Looking at a Technical Readiness Scale (TRL) most projects fall into TRL 5-9, the more mature end of the scale. T

here is, however, portfolio, program and project management at the earlier TRLs that address early engineering (TRL 4/5), research (TRL 2/3), and fundamental science (TRL 1/2).

There are significant differences in risk, personnel, stakeholder and other areas requiring management.

In this webinar Michael McNair (LinkedIn profile) Research Management: Techniques In Early Maturity Exploration takes a look at portfolio, program , and project management in these early TRLs in with the goal of eventual commercialization and movement of science to product or service.
