How can organizations undergo application transformation with minimal business disruption?
An effective application transformation strategy will focus
on:
- Improved quality
- Greater speed
- Reduced cost
- Increased business value
To achieve the above goals and successfully undergo
change, companies must have a strong QA strategy in place.
Agile and DevOps are being embraced in response to the
continuous demand to deliver new and improved IT solutions to
end-users and customers at ever increasing speed. On the one
hand, there is the need to improve software quality with
uncompromising agility, and on the other, there’s pressure to
increase profit margins.
QA leaders must outline strategic roadmaps for QA, and align
them with business goals to achieve benefits beyond cost.
In today’s market, software quality equals business reputation.
Getting the right application development strategy in place ultimately determines a company’s long term success. And being able to continuously test dramatically reduces delivery challenges.
QA decision makers are increasingly faced with
challenges in terms of attrition, resource
availability, and time and cost of hiring on the one
hand; and the pressure of speeding up releases on
the other.
Despite the challenges, companies continue to
spend time and resources on scaling up their QA
capability because they are reluctant to consider
outsourcing QA.
However, with the right approach to outsourced
QA, companies can drive significant competitive
advantage.
In today’s era as technology is evolving, the software development and the testing world is also innovating ways to incorporate emerging technologies such as Artificial intelligence, Machine Learning, big data, etc. to provide quality software to customers. IT enterprises must keep pace with the emerging software testing trends to keep innovating processes and stay at par with technological innovations.

Éviter les pièges du waterfall dans un contexte de livraison de projet agile:...Agile Montréal
L'agile Testing commence par la mise en place d'outils et événements agiles au sein des "équipes de tests" (scrum, retro, sprints, etc.), mais cela ne suffit pas à faire de l'agile : la composition et l'organisation des équipes est cruciale. Dans un contexte agile, il est impératif que la collaboration entre les testeurs et développeurs soit quasi symbiotique afin d'éviter de retomber dans des pratiques waterfall (en séquence) au sein de l'agile.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
