A critical challenge in transitioning to continuous integration (CI) and continuous development (CD) is creating a flexible testing environment that moves the focus from test support teams to IT infrastructure, DevOps, and automation tools.

Legacy tools meant to manually run load tests won’t cut it alone—you need a solution to automate and scale your testing process.

Join this web seminar to learn how a multi-billion dollar financial organization created a net savings of more than 500 man hours of testing and scripting per year using agile performance testing with CI/CD and application performance management (APM).

Gain new insights into how shifting your testing focus can improve development speed, costs, and quality.

Learn:

• The importance of automation and continuous load testing
• How to integrate CI/CD into your test environment
• How APM enables load testing to be more efficient

Developing a QA strategy that scales to meet the changing needs of a growing organization is a major challenge. Traditional testing techniques can’t keep up with a fast-paced development cadence.

For many of these growing software companies, determining whether a product or feature is ready to ship is difficult, and there is no one-size-fits-all strategy.

Join this web seminar to discover how testing needs change as a company grows, and how your team can adapt its QA strategy to an agile approach that fits.

Learn the key factors expanding software companies must consider to optimize their QA strategy for both speed and quality.

You will learn how to:

1. Find the balance between deployment speed and code quality
2. Determine the scope of testing that is appropriate for your organization
3. Develop a forward-thinking QA strategy that scales with your team

Gartner’s framework for explaining intelligent automation services encompasses a large spectrum of disruptive technologies (i.e. robotic process automation [RPA], runbook automation, cognitive and artificial intelligence) that will give rise to the most tectonic shifts in the sourcing role since offshore.

Back in 1999, the big disruption was the use of offshore to create labor arbitrage.

join Frances Karamouzis Gartner (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) VP  Distinguished Analyst  as she “Demystifies The Journey”.

Discussion Topics:

• The difference between robotic process automation RPA, runbook automation, cognitive and artificial intelligence
• The optimal business or IT process or task for each
• Where your organization should start

InnerSource is an emerging software development paradigm, aiming to use and adapt Open Source development models within the boundaries of an organization.

InnerSource has been shown to produce benefits of increased R&D efficiency, improved innovation, higher software quality and better talent acquisition and retention.

With that said, implementing InnerSource within an organization is not easy. There are many dimensions and parameters that can impact a smooth implementation such as changing corporate culture, shifting manager mindsets, measuring success, forging consensus, and accommodating customer-committed delivery dates.

Challenges for InnerSource include:

• How do you change your corporate culture?
• How do you measure successful implementation?
• How do you change the mindset of middle managers?
• How do you forge consensus for software component requirements across two or more different business lines?
• How can you accommodate customer-committed delivery dates into a paradigm based on open source methods?

A panel of 10 experts from Nokia, Bosch, PayPal, CA Tecnologies, Bitergia, OpenSource Development Experts, the Irish Software Research Centre & University of Limerick  are tackling these challenges and more with InnerSource Patterns.

Learn:

• What InnerSource patterns are and how they solve specific problems within an organization.
• How to implement two patterns—Common Requirements and 30 Day Warranty—and discuss answers to new InnerSource challenges by creating “donut” patterns.
• Understand how you can contribute to and learn from the InnerSource Patterns group on Github and Slack.
