Growing market competition in the SaaS e-commerce solution provider segment made our client to develop an unfailing suite ready for market integration within a lim-ited time frame and with a low budget. The client was looking for an independent software testing company with adequate experience and expertise in SaaS product testing and offering reliable QA services at affordable prices. The search for a testing service provider was based on three parameters, extensive experience in SaaS testing and Selenium PHP framework develop-ment, low-cost performance and functional testing ser-vices, and independent software testing and QA services from the view point of unforgiving customers. The client wanted to create a robust Selenium automation testing framework for its future need to evaluate the applications by deployment of customized templates and without de-pendence on IT services.

Modernizing Testing as Apps Re-ArchitectDevOps.com
Applications are moving to cloud and containers to boost reliability and speed delivery to production. However, if we use the same old approaches to testing, we'll fail to achieve the benefits of cloud. But what do we really need to change? We know we need to automate tests, but how do we keep our automation assets from becoming obsolete? Automatically provisioning test environments seems close, but some parts of our applications are hard to move to cloud.
Session on evaluation of DevSecOps. This tutorial is made the very basic process of the DevOps cycle for the beginner level. So sometimes we won’t use very deep technical terms to understand.

Sneak Peek into the New ChangeMan ZMF ReleaseSerena Software
Mainframe Virtual User Group January 28 2016
Peek behind the Serena development curtain and check out the latest features of our new release, ChangeMan ZMF 8.1.1. Last year, we delivered ChangeMan ZMF version 8 which provided innovative release management, unmatched development support, and superior scalability and extendibility.
The Top 5 Practices of a Highly Successful ChangeMan ZMF AdministratorSerena Software
ChangeMan ZMF is the most comprehensive and fully integrated solution for software change, configuration, and release management on z/OS. It can scale to manage hundreds of enterprise applications ensuring the right software change gets deployed to the right environment in a secure and reliable way. ChangeMan ZMF's flexibility and rich functionality can be a challenge for the novice ChangeMan Administrator. Join us as Tom Mavor, Sr Serena Consultant and long time ChangeMan ZMF expert, shares the top 5 essential practices for every ChangeMan ZMF administrator.
Mind the Gap: How to bridge the gap between development and operations with release management
The release management process remains challenging for large IT organizations due to the continuing disconnect between development, QA, and operations teams. The challenge faced by these large enterprises is that process maturity, methodology, and platforms vary greatly across teams, organizations and business units. These challenges often produce gaps between development and operations teams. Release management is still being done, but with very inconsistent results and at a high cost, providing minimal insight and a lack of audit compliance.
Join us as Julian Fish, Director of Products at Serena Software, demonstrates how the unique integration framework and process capabilities of Serena Release Control can deliver a consistent and repeatable process that provides complete traceability, audit and compliance across Waterfall, Progressive and Agile processes, for both ITIL and DevOps approaches, and supporting Mainframe to mobile platforms.
Take your code and quality to the next level by Serena SoftwareSerena Software
Join us to discuss the merits of static analysis and how you can leverage Kiuwan (powered by Optimyth Software) with Dimensions CM to shift –left, and elevate your code quality to the next level.
Join us for the Summer 2015 VUG on August 19th, in which we will present, discuss and demonstrate how to optimize your development and delivery toolchain. In addition to shift-left, we will show how you can increase deployment automation and collaboration across Development and Release Operations.
Coordinating and managing application releases across mainframe and distributed environments is a complex undertaking that is not for the faint of heart. The business is pushing to move fast, but all too often things break due to the high velocity of change driven across both mainframe and distributed teams that use different processes and tools.
Join Julian Fish, Director of Product Management, in a demonstration of the new Serena Release Control Version 6 and its integration with ChangeMan ZMF. Julian will show you how to simplify the complexities of release management across both mainframe and distributed environments while creating an automated, repeatable release process that will enable large enterprises to “Release Fast without Breaking Things”.
