How Accenture CAS Accelerates Delivery with AWS (ENT220) | AWS re:Invent 2013Amazon Web Services
(Presented by Accenture)
Accenture CAS is the leading integrated sales platform for the consumer goods industry. Accenture CAS leverages Amazon Web Services—including Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon CloudWatch, and AWS Management Console—to quickly perform technology case studies for clients and demonstrate cloud readiness without having to invest in expensive infrastructure.
This session illustrates how AWS’ flexible and scalable technology and application services deliver value to Accenture CAS and Accenture CAS clients simultaneously. The session provides a deeper dive into a detailed case study and highlights the CAS approach, advantages, issues faced, and lessons learned.
Demonstrated Business Challenge and Value Added: In typical customer engagements Accenture CAS needs to prove that the data integration and replication technology for enterprise resource planning, backend systems, and mobile clients can handle the customer’s data volume, processing times, and scalability requirements. Scenarios and technical setups vary from client to client and even from use case to use case and require Accenture CAS to quickly adapt the underlying hardware infrastructure and setups. This is a time consuming and expensive task with on-premises installations. Accenture CAS harnesses the power and capabilities of the AWS cloud in order to meet this demand while understanding and optimizing costs, efforts, and timing.
Using the example of a high volume data integration and replication scenario supporting 20,000 mobile devices with peaks of 6500 devices per hour, topics covered include:
-Design, setup, and configuration of the respective AWS cloud environment
-Deployment and configuration of Accenture CAS software, testing and simulation tools to the AWS cloud
-Monitoring, maintenance, and management of the complete setup
-Execution, analysis, and results

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.
