Archimedes once wrote, “Give me a place to stand, and a lever long enough, and I will move the world.”

In Agile, the place to stand is testing, and the lever is test automation.

Are you using all the leverage that lever gives you? Most organizations are missing some tricks, and not getting the full value of test automation.

In this keynote, Rex will survey all the different ways you can—and should—take advantage of test automation as an Agile tester.

The best news: Many of these forms of automation involve tools that won’t cost you a dime!

Spend some time learning about some high-ROI, proven best practices to reduce failure costs and increase quality.

Monoliths are ubiquitous, but they’ve had their day.

Increasingly, businesses of all sizes are turning to microservices to enable them to run leaner.

Microservices allow organizations to scale their teams, deploy more frequently and give their developers more autonomy, but they’re not without their drawbacks.

Microservices, by their nature, are distributed, and this brings a whole load of additional challenges to solve.

When designing any service, it’s critical that it be responsive, even under the worst possible conditions.

In this webcast, Tom Peck will explore some of the patterns that Java developers can use to ensure their systems are resilient and elastic.

You will learn:

• The challenges posed by a microservice architecture
• The importance of being message-driven
• How to design your services to be resilient and elastic
• The benefits of event sourcing and CQRS

Presenter: Tom Peck (LinkedIn profile) is a software engineer, tech lead, architect and geek. He currently works at Lightbend and is a long-term Scala enthusiast, but previously he worked at EA and McLaren. After going from C++ to C# to Java, he finally found Scala and has been happily coding away ever since. Tom lives just outside of London in the UK with his wife and two kids and loves making things, whether it’s from code, lego, wood or metal.

As a result of the underutilization of cloud office services, the payback from Office 365 investments is often only a fraction of what it could be.

There is, therefore, a great opportunity for application leaders not only to maximize the return from cloud office investments but also to help employees become more effective by exploiting the full potential of a cloud office suite.

Discussion Topics:

• How to target workforce digital dexterity with Office 365
• What new IT roles and responsibilities are needed
• How to institute a digital workplace program to maximize the return on Office 365 investments
