As the business world becomes increasingly interconnected, the need for seamless integration across systems and platforms is becoming more critical than ever. The cloud has ushered in a new era of event-driven, fast-paced integration that demands high-quality, efficient engineering practices.
Quality Engineering is emerging as the key structuring change in this ecosystem, providing the essential processes, tools, and strategies for building successful resilient, flexible, and scalable integration platforms.
In this keynote talk, we will explore the Next Frontier of Quality Engineering and the Future of Integration. We will examine the challenges and opportunities of this fast-changing landscape, sharing how Quality Engineering can help organizations achieve higher levels of quality, speed, and efficiency.
