Test automation, continuous integration (CI), and reliable test data provisioning are all key elements to making DevOps work, as they provide the necessary capabilities to quickly and securely test and release software.
Without these technologies, the DevOps promise of rapidly deploying new services and applications is only a dream.
Effectively managing test data reduces risk when implementing CI and DevOps, along with accelerating release cycles, improving quality, and cutting costs.
You’ll learn:
- How self-service test data powers DevOps and CI implementations
- How organizations have saved millions and slashed development cycles
- Common oversights when employing automation and DevOps
- How to release applications faster with confidence through improved collaboration, automation, and visibility
Join this web seminar to learn how to execute an integrated test data management approach that will deliver seamless automation, efficiency, and security to your DevOps and continuous integration efforts.

Quality engineering (QE) is a process by which software quality is not simply “assured,” it is tested, analyzed, and improved throughout the application development lifecycle.
When implemented correctly, QE drastically shortens testing time and creates more speed, flexibility, and reliability throughout the development lifecycle.
Transitioning from QA to QE provides huge benefits to performance, but it also requires significant changes to people, processes, and tools.
Attend this web seminar to learn the practical steps required to facilitate a shift from quality assurance to quality engineering, including:
- Getting started with a QE initiative
- Evolving your processes for QE
- Adapting job roles for a QE environment

Mobile apps have more users than PC apps, and people spend more time on mobile apps than on PC apps.
Mobile apps have been around since the 1990s, but the real explosion in mobile apps has occurred in the last ten years. And, while time-wasters and entertainment apps abound, mission-critical and safety-critical apps exist, and so quality matters.
What do we need to know about testing mobile apps?
It’s more than just a smaller screen, right?
In this webinar, Rex will describe the ten key things that mobile application testers must know. Join us for a quick introduction to the art and science of mobile app testing.
