Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a process in which test are written up-front. Typically these tests reflect the requirements and expectations of the stakeholders to the project, driving the creation of useful, valuable behavior.

Sometimes, however, the requirement given is about something the system should not do, and must not do for a reason that is critical to the business we seek to serve.

The question Scott Bain (LinkedIn profile) will address is this: How can you write a test about a behavior that the system must not do?

Growth of cloud computing and the preference for data-driven decision-making have led to a steady increase in investments in observability over the years.

Telemetry data is becoming recognized as not only critical for maintaining a company’s infrastructure but also for aiding security and business teams in making informed decisions.

In fact, according to Ventana Research, over half of organizations plan to increase their investment in observability technology through 2026 to accelerate the value generated from telemetry data.

However, just increasing investment in observability technology is not enough. To unlock the full potential of telemetry data, organizations must address growing data volume and complexity.

Organizations must define winning strategies that can help them derive insights and get faster time to value while ensuring regulatory compliance. This can be challenging and overwhelming!

Don’t let these challenges hold you back. Tune into this session with Ashka Vakil (LinkedIn profile) Mezmo Sr. Director of Product, and  Matt Aslett (LinkedIn profile) Ventana Research VP & Research Director as they dive into the strategies for maximizing your observability investments.

They will discuss and share best practices and considerations to make for defining a streamlined strategy for your telemetry data.

Some of the topics that Ashka & Matt will address:

  • Balancing greater insight with the cost of managing higher data volumes
  • Wider adoption across various use cases
  • Better understanding of the business context
  • Ensuring regulatory compliance
  • Addressing data distribution and fragmentation

Register today and join us! You’ll gain a better understanding of how to maximize the value of your telemetry data and improve observability across your organization.
