From Formal Test Cases to Session-Based Exploratory TestingTechWell
Agile software development is exciting, but what happens when your team is entrenched in older methodologies? Even with support from the organization, it is challenging to lead an organization through the transformation. As you start making smaller, more frequent releases, your manual test cases may not keep up, and your automated tests may not yet be robust enough to fill the gap. Add in the reality of shrinking testing resources, and it is obvious that change is required. But how and what should you change? Learn how Ron Smith and his team tackled these challenges by moving from a test case-driven approach to predominantly session-based exploratory testing, supported by “just enough” documentation. Discover how this resulted in testers who are more engaged, developers who increased their ability and willingness to test, and managers who increased their understanding and insight into the product. Use what you learn from Ron to begin the transformation in your organization.

We've been told many times that we should write unit tests for our code. We have read the theory and we have applied automatic testing to our projects, sometimes successfully but often times not so.
Why it seems to be so hard to test our code? However we look at it, automatic testing doesn't work like a "plug & play" peripheral. It just doesn't seem to fit with our project. A dependency is missing here; we have a hard to mock object there; and so on.
What is _that_ thing we might be doing wrong but we fail to notice?
In this talk we will argue that the problem lays in our code, in its structure, in the way we pass data around and even how we write for loops!
This won't be your everyday "code quality" tech talk, since we are going to attack the problem of code quality from different points of view and paradigms like Functional Programming and the Unix philosophy of simplicity and reuse.

Automating it management with Puppet + ServiceNowPuppet
As the leading IT Service Management and IT Operations Management platform in the marketplace, ServiceNow is used by many organizations to address everything from self service IT requests to Change, Incident and Problem Management. The strength of the platform is in the workflows and processes that are built around the shared data model, represented in the CMDB. This provides the ‘single source of truth’ for the organization.
Puppet Enterprise is a leading automation platform focused on the IT Configuration Management and Compliance space. Puppet Enterprise has a unique perspective on the state of systems being managed, constantly being updated and kept accurate as part of the regular Puppet operation. Puppet Enterprise is the automation engine ensuring that the environment stays consistent and in compliance.
In this webinar, we will explore how to maximize the value of both solutions, with Puppet Enterprise automating the actions required to drive a change, and ServiceNow governing the process around that change, from definition to approval. We will introduce and demonstrate several published integration points between the two solutions, in the areas of Self-Service Infrastructure, Enriched Change Management and Automated Incident Registration.
Simplified Patch Management with Puppet - Oct. 2020Puppet
Does your company struggle with patching systems? If so, you’re not alone — most organizations have attempted to solve this issue by cobbling together multiple tools, processes, and different teams, which can make an already complicated issue worse.
Puppet helps keep hosts healthy, secure and compliant by replacing time-consuming and error prone patching processes with Puppet’s automated patching solution.
Join this webinar to learn how to do the following with Puppet:
Eliminate manual patching processes with pre-built patching automation for Windows and Linux systems.
Gain visibility into patching status across your estate regardless of OS with new patching solution from the PE console.
Ensure your systems are compliant and patched in a healthy state
How Puppet Enterprise makes patch management easy across your Windows and Linux operating systems.
Presented by: Margaret Lee, Product Manager, Puppet, and Ajay Sridhar, Sr. Sales Engineer, Puppet.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
