Test automation, continuous integration (CI), and reliable test data provisioning are all key elements to making DevOps work, as they provide the necessary capabilities to quickly and securely test and release software.

Without these technologies, the DevOps promise of rapidly deploying new services and applications is only a dream.

Effectively managing test data reduces risk when implementing CI and DevOps, along with accelerating release cycles, improving quality, and cutting costs.

You’ll learn:

• How self-service test data powers DevOps and CI implementations
• How organizations have saved millions and slashed development cycles
• Common oversights when employing automation and DevOps
• How to release applications faster with confidence through improved collaboration, automation, and visibility

Join this web seminar to learn how to execute an integrated test data management approach that will deliver seamless automation, efficiency, and security to your DevOps and continuous integration efforts.

Metadata is essential for managing, migrating, accessing, and deploying a big data solution.

Without it, enterprises have limited visibility into the data itself and cannot trust in its quality—negating the value of data in the first place.

Creating end-to-end data visibility allows you to keep track of data, enable search and query across big data systems, safeguards your data, and reduces risk.

In this O’Reilly webcast, Ben Sharma, (LinkedIn profile, O’Reilly bio) cofounder and CEO of Zaloni and Vikram Sreekanti, (LinkedIn profile, O’Reilly bio) software engineer in the AMPLab at UC Berkeley; discuss the value of collecting and analyzing metadata, and its potential to impact your big data solution and your business.

Learn how access to your data’s lineage allows you to know where data has come from, where it is, and how it is being used.

They will also take a deep dive into a new open-source project under development at U.C. Berkeley — Ground.

Ground is a data context system that enables users to uncover what data they have, where the data is flowing to and from, who is using the data, and when and how it changes.

Key topics will include:

• The role of metadata in data analysis
• Key considerations for managing metadata
• How to establish data lineage and provenance, in order to create a repeatable process
• How Ground is making an impact on a wide range of data tasks, including data inventory, usage tracking, model-specific interpretation, reproducibility, interoperability, and collective governance.
• Initial work on Ground, and how this data context system is making an impact on a wide range of data tasks, including: data inventory, usage tracking, model-specific interpretation, reproducibility, interoperability, and collective governance.

 Explore how data context stretches the bounds of what we have traditionally considered “metadata”.

Duration: 1 Hour 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU

Despite economic conditions, unemployment levels, or any other business factor imaginable, your best employees – the ones you need most – want one thing from you, plain and simple: to support their growth and development.

Study after study confirms that development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving engagement, retention, productivity, and results.

Yet, HR leaders know that career development is frequently the thing that gets sidelined unless or until the organization demands that some form be submitted during regular review cycles.

In order to reach new levels of performance there must be a link between what the individual employee is passionate about and what the organization needs to grow its business.

One way to insure that linkage is for every manager to be held accountable for having solid development discussions with their employees.

Based on the books Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Employees Want and Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em: Getting Good People to Stay by Dr. Beverly Kaye (LinkedIn profile, YouTube) and Julie Winkle Giulioni (designarounds about us,  @Julie_WG), this webinar will help you to understand your employees mindset and encourage engagement in the workplace.

Research suggests, over and over, that if an individual is:

1. Challenged in their position,
2. Finds their work to be meaningful, and …
3. Believes that their manager truly cares about their growth,

Their engagement will be high, increasing employee retention!

Organizations have the perfect vehicle for insuring this conversation, The Individual Development Plan (IDP).

Too many managers, however, avoid this conversation because they are not comfortable with its content. In this session Bev and Julie will share the research from her new book to demystify the IDP conversation.

Speakers:

Dr. Beverly Kaye (LinkedIn profile) is an international besting author and a recognized authority on career issues and on retention and engagement in the workplace. Her first book, Up Is Not The Only Way: A Guide to Developing Workforce Talent, foresaw the effects that leaner, flatter organizations would have on individual careers and the subsequent need for workers to take charge of their own careers. She also developed learning solutions and systems for managers and employees to work together to help employees achieve their developmental goals. With the fourth edition of a bestseller she coauthored, Love ’em or Lose ’em: Getting Good People to Stay (4th edition), Bev addressed one of the most pressing workplace problems of the 21st century: retaining and engaging employees. In her follow-up companion best seller, Love It, Don’t Leave It: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work, she shows employees how they can find greater satisfaction in their current work lives.

Julie Winkle Giulioni (LinkedIn profile) has spent the past 25 years improving performance through learning. Julie is well known and well regarded for her creative, one-of-a-kind solutions that consistently deliver bottom-line results. Julie co-authored the book that this presentation is based on with Dr. Beverly Kaye Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Employees Want. As co-founder and principal of DesignArounds, Julie leads multidisciplinary teams that create award-winning electronic and instructor- led training. She is an author and respected speaker on a variety of topics, including performance improvement, leadership, sales, and customer service.
