Beyond JIRA: When Issue Tracking Alone Isn’t Enough
Struggling to trace bugs back to requirements or test cases? Trying to estimate the schedule impact of a requirement, user story, or code change? Scrambling to provide sufficient evidence for a compliance audit? If so, it’s a good time to move beyond issue tracking only and embrace a modern, end-to-end ALM solution.
Because issue tracking is an essential link in the ALM toolchain, it’s where many companies start. If yours is one of those companies, you may use Atlassian’s JIRA for issue tracking and light project management.
But if it’s quality, predictability, or compliance you need, issue tracking is not enough. So how do you protect your JIRA investment while achieving the speed and visibility benefits of Modern ALM?
Learn the benefits of integrating your current JIRA instance with Helix ALM. Rick Riccetti, Perforce’s CTO of ALM Solutions, and Nico Krüger, Technical Solutions Engineer for Perforce, will show you the features Helix ALM brings to the table, such as:
Integrated Bug Tracking, Test Management, and Requirements ----Management

Backup Exec 15: Designing Protection for the Future, TodaySymantec
Change in it infrastructures is fast and constant not only in the technology employed but in the expectations of the teams and the business value that they can add
Despite being a significant investment backup and recovery is often left out of strategic planning and included as an after-thought.
Backup and recovery are a set of products and processes that can provide value beyond just data protection when designed and used in the right way
Our aim here is explore the difficulties i.t. Teams and professionals are telling us about, understand how we can positively impact them by modernising antiquated systems and processes and add value beyond backup to help you drive your core business.
Bilcare Ltd.
shrinking Backup Data by more than 90 Percent with solutions from symantec Bilcare is a full-service pharmaceutical development company headquartered in Pune, India, with offices and manufacturing facilities spread across 4 continents in the globe. To centralize data protection and enable efficient, WAN-based backups from remote locations, it turned to solutions from Symantec. Results include a 91 to 94 percent reduction in overall backup data with deduplication and compression, sixfold faster recoveries with disk-to-disk backups, a twofold improvement in backup and restore success rates, and a 96 percent reduction in storage management time.
When assessing backup software vendors, IT leaders must avoid being taken in by flashy new features. Backup software should really be called restore software as failure in backup is failure to meet recovery objectives. Always evaluate features in light of these objectives.
Use this research to:
•Understand new features and develop a strategy to meet new challenges to enterprise backup, such as ever-increasing backup sizes, backup of virtual infrastructures, and evolving backup architecture strategy.
•Evaluate eight different backup software vendors for best fit using Info-Tech’s Vendor Landscape.
•Use Info-Tech’s scenario analysis to shortlist vendors according to your current situation and submit an RFP to vendors, score their responses, and prepare a backup software demo script.
•Assess implementation pitfalls in light of overall data management, security, and compliance requirements.
Ensure that you make the best-fit backup software decisions for enterprise availability and restore requirements, from strategy to selection to implementation.

Virtualize Business Critical Applications with VMwareCaldwellC
In our experience, extending the adoption of virtualization to business critical applications, such as
Oracle, SQL, Exchange, SAP or Enterprise Java, often requires executive sponsorship—sometimes
from multiple organizations. Unfortunately, breaking down siloes, misperceptions and other barriers
to virtualization and getting consensus about how to deliver critical business resources requires both
time and validation. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
