Many organizations use outside service providers to perform some or even all of their testing. Some attendees of these free webinars work for such service providers.

Whichever camp you’re in, you might need to know whether the services being provided are really meeting the needs.

Can you measure success?

Yes, and it’s easier than you might think. There are a dozen concrete measures of the effectiveness, efficiency, innovation, responsiveness, and attitude associated with these services. In this free webinar, Rex will discuss these metrics, helping both sides of the service relationship do a better job.

In this free webinar, Rex will discuss these points and more, helping you be more effective in Agile projects.

Writing Unit Tests Sounds Simple, Right?
Why Do Only 15% of Developers Test Their Code?

Unit testing seems like a solved problem: The tools are there, just choose one and go. In reality, people fail because they test the wrong thing in the wrong way.

To get everyone writing tests, we need to make sure they actually do it in a simple and consistent way. Experience has taught us there are a few steps you should follow when starting out unit testing.

In this session Gill will go through the 7 steps that can get you a passing, working, long lasting test. You can then apply these steps to not only your next test, but also train your team to do the same. No more black magic or relying on luck or what we read about in the test framework documentation.

Let’s take a scientific approach for getting our team to unit test.

You Can Learn More From A Failed Project
Than From One That Succeeds

In this free webinar, Rex offers detailed case studies of three projects that failed—even though they could have succeeded.

Each project was very different, but common themes emerge: earlier testing, better quality throughout the project, tighter collaboration between testers and other stakeholders, and better vendor quality management.

Rex will discuss how to you can learn the lessons that could have saved these projects so you can avoid being a profile in failure on your next project.

Git is the fastest growing open-source Source Code Management (SCM). Powerful branching & merging and a peer-to-peer architecture make it a developer’s best friend.

However, if left unchecked, Git’s power can compromise code integrity and compliance.

What Collabnet will cover:

• An enterprise Git overview – what you must know
• Common pitfalls – security, governance, and compliance
• History protection – recovery for non-fast forward updates

2hr Sessions: Each webinar in this series is made up of 2 one hour segments. Segment one, features best practices and industry findings and segment two, focuses on technical demos and implementations.

Who should attend:

This webinar is for everyone who automates software delivery, and the technical content is appropriate for software architects, quality managers and software configuration managers. Prior familiarity with the concepts of Agile development and Continuous Integration is helpful, although not absolutely required.
