In the age of digital business, application developers must connect an exploding number of data sources and data consumers, spread across various delivery models.

To bring together data in such an environment, the traditional centralized approach of integration is ineffective. Instead, an apt solution is a distributed architecture, which allows the building of microservices that can then be deployed anywhere – public cloud, private cloud, or on-premise datacenters to best satisfy individual use cases and requirements, from governance and security to latency and locality.

Rahul Kamdar will  explore:

• Weighing a distributed integration architecture against a traditional ESB
• How to build for a multi-cloud world and leverage pre-existing code, projects, and assets
• Planning for IoT and edge-native integration as part of the transformational process
• The concept of “APIs around everything”—and “everything around APIs”

Presenter: Rahul Kamdar, (LinkedIn profile) Director of Product Management & Strategy TIBCO Software,  drives integration product management and strategy. Having worked in varied groups such as development and engineering, and now product management and strategy.  Rahul actively works with and helps manage partnerships with the Cloud Foundry Foundation, AWS, Docker, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Pivotal.

One important way to test software is based on the way it’s supposed to work, verifying conformance to specified behavior from user stories and requirements, and validating that the software solves the users’ and customers’ problems.

This is often called black-box testing. However, another way to test software is based on the way it’s built, which is the complementary concept of white-box testing.

We measure completeness of black-box testing through coverage of requirements, user stories, risks, personas, and more, and we measure completeness of white-box through code coverage.

In this One Key Idea session, Rex will explain the meat-and-potatoes of code coverage, statement coverage and branch coverage, and demonstrate these concepts with a free tool, gcov.

Technical and non-technical testers alike will walk away with a clearer understanding of this critical concept.

Presenter: Rex Black (Amazon profile) is President of RBCS, a leader in software, hardware, and systems testing. RBCS employs the industry’s most experienced and recognized consultants, RBCS conducts product testing, builds and improves testing groups and hires testing staff for hundreds of clients worldwide. As the leader of RBCS, Rex is the most prolific author practicing in the field of software testing today.

Monoliths are ubiquitous, but they’ve had their day.

Increasingly, businesses of all sizes are turning to microservices to enable them to run leaner.

Microservices allow organizations to scale their teams, deploy more frequently and give their developers more autonomy, but they’re not without their drawbacks.

Microservices, by their nature, are distributed, and this brings a whole load of additional challenges to solve.

When designing any service, it’s critical that it be responsive, even under the worst possible conditions.

In this webcast, Tom Peck will explore some of the patterns that Java developers can use to ensure their systems are resilient and elastic.

You will learn:

• The challenges posed by a microservice architecture
• The importance of being message-driven
• How to design your services to be resilient and elastic
• The benefits of event sourcing and CQRS

Presenter: Tom Peck (LinkedIn profile) is a software engineer, tech lead, architect and geek. He currently works at Lightbend and is a long-term Scala enthusiast, but previously he worked at EA and McLaren. After going from C++ to C# to Java, he finally found Scala and has been happily coding away ever since. Tom lives just outside of London in the UK with his wife and two kids and loves making things, whether it’s from code, lego, wood or metal.
