Unify Your Tests – Or Fail | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #BigData #Microservices

DevOps: Unify Your Tests - Or Fail While testing is often ignored when it comes to DevOps - it could be the most important aspect of achieving true DevOps success. Without rethinking automated testing from the ground-up, the entire DevOps productivity gain cannot be realized. Large tech companies build their own rapid test automation that runs in minutes across functional, performance, security and other tests. In his session at DevOps Summit, Kevin Surace, CEO of Appvance, will discuss how we learn from these real-world successes and achieve a 95% time reduction in creating and running automated unified tests. Otherwise enterprises must make a tradeoff between velocity and quality. Learning from the leaders, that tradeoff does not need to be made. Speaker Bio Kevin Surace is a well-known Silicon Valley innovator and CEO of Appvance. He has been featured in Busines... (more)

Continuous Performance Validation | @CloudExpo #DevOps #IoT #BigData

Achieving Continuous Performance Validation with Synthetic Users In most modern development groups, there's a big focus on creating code that works. The idea goes that in more traditional, waterfall approaches, errors in code that aren't fixed until late in the cycle are much more expensive to resolve due to unintended consequences. Today, some groups practice test-driven development as a way to ensure that code is always functional while others work with short agile sprints where all code produced must be usable in the field by the end of each sprint. There's a common understanding about what it means for a coding task to be "done." Yet, often this "doneness" is only a measure of functionality - not necessarily usability. Today, user experience is crucial to an application's success, and that goes well beyond what color your button is or how prominently a call-to-ac... (more)
