Pull requests have become the No. 1 undiagnosed bottleneck in engineering—and we have the data to prove it. After analyzing 1,000,000 pull requests, LinearB has uncovered CI/CD’s greatest weakness and—thankfully—a eureka moment that will forever change the developer experience: Continuous Merge.

Here’s the dirty little secret: not all PRs are created equal. They don’t all need the same level of effort, and some of them don’t need any human intervention at all—it’s just a matter of using data and context to know which is which, and creating intelligent automation workflows to handle PRs appropriately.

In this session, Luke  will dive deep into how to change your processes so your team can adopt Continuous Merge and other practices in order to merge and release faster, with higher quality.

Presenter: Luke Kilpatrick (LinkedIn profile) Director of Developer Experience  started as web developer in 1996, transitioning to building developer programs in 2010 with VMware. Luke has managed and spoken at developer events around the world with highlights being Atlassian Appweek, Nutanix .NEXT, DevRelCon and Data’s Future Developer Summit.

Elevating testing demands effective measurement to help quality teams understand progress, set goals, and communicate their impact.

But QA is virtually drowning in data; test results, sprint tracking, deferral rates, and bug density can all be gathered in a tester’s regular work. Quality teams need to decipher the right short and long-term signals to ensure their organization can deliver exceptional user experiences and see the maximum ROI from digital transformation.

In this 2 hour workshop, you’ll learn how to assess your current approach to QA key performance indicators (KPIs) and build a path to an effective measurement strategy.

You will understand your maturity compared to other organizations, find the right KPIs to communicate across your team, align those metrics to your organizational goals, and come away with a workbook to manage your measurement strategy moving forward.

Participants will:

• Assess their current measurement maturity
• Understand how to align QA strategy to organizational goals
• Learn strategies to positively influence core QA KPIs
• Takeaway a workbook to help them build on their measurement strategy

Mobile testing continues to grow in importance across the enterprise. Most companies are running mobile apps or at least integrating with them. You and your team need to understand an effective strategy for testing these applications.

Automated testing is a great way to level up your testing. Using tools like Scriptless testing enables every member of your team to contribute to testing.

Parallel testing means you can execute more tests more frequently. In order to create and maintain a high-quality app, you must be very intentional about allocating your testing resources.

For many teams, common testing issues can center around team member testing ability, the scale of testing, and testing efficiency.

Register for this web seminar to learn how to better mitigate these issues and ensure quality applications with existing resources.

You will hear from Lana Truong (LinkedIn profile), an expert in application testing, about how you can achieve testing excellence by:

• Empowering every testing team member to create and execute tests
• Saving the two most valuable things—time and money—by ramping up efficiency
• Rapidly increase testing across your organization at the scale you desire
• And more!

No matter what service your application is providing, it needs to function seamlessly, and for many industries like finance, banking, and healthcare it is mission critical! Join us to learn how to optimize your testing to make that happen.
