Driven by examples of startup success stories, many established companies are applying DevOps practices to their application delivery processes. But startup approaches don’t always translate to multi-architecture, multi-platform legacy applications.

How do you leverage startup techniques to your existing environment?

Automating your DevOps pipeline can increase performance in IT organizations, resulting in more successful deployments, faster issue resolution, and a 90 percent decrease in the time it takes to resolve deployment problems.

Join this web seminar to learn five ways to deliver DevOps transformations in non-startup organizations and improve your DevOps pipeline through automation.

Learn how to:

• Identify suitable applications for DevOps
• Deliver application automation across your pipeline
• Leverage continuous integration and continuous delivery
• Properly consider application and database automation

In our inaugural One Key Idea session, we looked at how use pairwise testing to examine combinations of inputs, configuration values, types of data, and the like.

This is a great technique when the interaction between these factors is unpredictable. However, in some cases, specific business rules govern these interactions.

How can we model these business rules and use that model

to develop a reasonable set of tests?

Simple: decision tables.

In this One Key Idea session, Rex will explain the basics of this fundamental technique.

Learn how to create and use these straightforward, table-based representations of business logic in your daily work.

The past few years have brought a sea change in the way applications are architected, developed, and consumed—increasing both the complexity of testing and the business impact of software failures.

How can software testing professionals keep pace with modern application delivery, given the trends that impact both architectures (cloud, microservices, and APIs) and processes (DevOps, agile, and continuous delivery)? This is where continuous testing comes in.

Join this web seminar to discover why and how continuous testing is different from traditional test automation.

Learn:

• The three main differences between continuous testing and test automation
• Where traditional test automation falls short in modern development and delivery processes
• How testers can address each of the three key elements of continuous testing
• How to integrate various testing practices (including model-based testing, risk-based testing, change-based testing, and exploratory testing) in order to achieve the speed and agility required for release
