Continuous delivery is a strategy that enables organizations to deliver new features to users as fast and efficiently as possible.

The goal of continuous delivery is to create a stable, repeatable, and reliable process for taking software from idea to production without impacting user experience or affecting business continuity.

If done right, continuous delivery enables a business to increase its confidence in releasing software faster so it can leverage its competitiveness in the market.

Join this web seminar to learn how to solve key automation challenges present in today’s continuous delivery pipelines. You’ll hear about real customer scenarios and understand how they used automation to achieve their delivery goals.

You’ll also learn how to:

• Use automation to reduce time and effort to test apps across multiple platforms and devices
• Reduce the build-to-deploy/test cycle time across the delivery pipeline
• Rapidly stand up and tear down production-like application environments

The Internet of Things (IoT) and its connected devices are quickly influencing our daily lives.

Although consumer goods have received the most publicity, another fast-emerging area is the use of IoT technologies in manufacturing.

Whether for the consumer or the industrial sector, testing embedded and connected devices for the IoT comes with different concerns from traditional software testing.

Using industrial IoT as an example, this web seminar will detail the top three software challenges IoT developers and testers face—managing security and vulnerabilities, privacy and regulations, and eliminating silos while maintaining quality—and explore the best practices for addressing them.

Anyone involved in the software development or testing of connected devices will benefit from this web seminar.

Learn:

1. How to effectively manage and maintain an ongoing security assessment for your products
2. How to navigate existing and future connectivity regulations and privacy
3. What software testing tools and processes provide the biggest impact
