Complying with software license terms and conditions is complex, and the penalties for failure to do so can be high.

Traditional license metrics present challenges that only increase with changes to the technology with which they are used.

The proliferation of SaaS, cloud, BYOD and IoT is challenging organisations whose software asset management capabilities may already be struggling.

Discussion Topics:

• Why legacy models may not fit today’s technology
• The risks associated with new licensing models
• The issues associated with BYO solutions

Join Victoria Barber (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Research Director  and learn ow to manage your software licensing risk.

The past few years have brought a sea change in the way applications are architected, developed, and consumed—increasing both the complexity of testing and the business impact of software failures.

How can software testing professionals keep pace with modern application delivery, given the trends that impact both architectures (cloud, microservices, and APIs) and processes (DevOps, agile, and continuous delivery)? This is where continuous testing comes in.

Join this web seminar to discover why and how continuous testing is different from traditional test automation.

Learn:

• The three main differences between continuous testing and test automation
• Where traditional test automation falls short in modern development and delivery processes
• How testers can address each of the three key elements of continuous testing
• How to integrate various testing practices (including model-based testing, risk-based testing, change-based testing, and exploratory testing) in order to achieve the speed and agility required for release

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