Do your software projects stumble over the deployment hurdle?

If so, you are not alone. Many software projects struggle achieving consistent deployment across their environments — from Test to UAT to Staging to Production. Successful deployments must account for differences between environments; coordinate development teams and environment owners; balance schedule pressures; and create the requisite audit trail.

When these challenges are compounded by error prone, inconsistent and inefficient manual processes, achieving a consistent deployment can seem impossible. The cost of this struggle is lost time, late breaking defects, and uncertainty.

The good news is that you do not need to choose between a careful, rigorous approach and a speedy but slapdash one. It is possible to implement a solution that provides consistency and audit trails while improving productivity for your release engineers, operations personnel, and testers.

In this webinar, we go beyond the whys of consistent automated deployments and examine best practices, helpful tools and common pitfalls encountered when seeking consistent deployments across environments.

In This Session Eric Covers:

• The pitfalls of manual deployments;
• Cultural barriers to improving deployment processes; and
• Best practices, such as self-service deployments.

Presenter: Eric Minick (LinkedIn profile) is a technical evangelist and consultant at UrbanCode. He has nine years of automation experience throughout the application lifecycle as a developer, test automation engineer, and production support engineer.
