Software Testing Maturity Model and Assessment by AbstractaKalei White
Are you on the agile path to continuous testing? To achieve continuous testing, you need to do more than just buy the right tools. Abstracta helps assess where you stand and what is left to do in order to reach continuous integration and testing and then helps you in every area of quality that matters, to achieve the highest ROI.
Traditional approaches to quality and risk management involve quality gates, change control boards, feature freeze and code freeze milestones, and independent QA or Test groups. These approaches stabilize quality at by sacrificing agility.
Yet buggy fragile code is even more dangerous for Agile teams where so much is changing so often. Quality and risk management are critically important for agility.
This leads to the inevitable question: if the traditional approaches to quality and risk management don't work in an Agile context, what does?
Practices vary across organizations, but all successful teams emphasize the same underlying principles of fast feedback, high visibility, collaboration, and alignment. This talk examines various approaches Agile teams have taken to increase quality, mitigate risk, and ultimately ensure they are delivering the highest possible value for their stakeholders.
The document describes various scenarios for using an Enterprise Architecture Toolkit. It outlines goals, personas, and processes for scenarios such as describing an architecture with current tools, building collaborative architecture designs, extending architecture metadata in Visio, making architecture decisions, managing architectures, exploring approved patterns and assets, determining total cost of ownership, and managing principles and policies.

This document discusses how to enable continuous delivery while maintaining proper segregation of duties for security and compliance. It begins by explaining continuous delivery and the need for segregation of duties. Typical enforcement of segregation of duties acts as a blocker to continuous delivery by restricting who can access or change environments. The document then recommends implementing segregation of duties in a continuous delivery friendly way through principles like involving security early, separating confidential and regular data, pre-approving standardized deployment bundles, and using multi-factor authentication and configuration management tools. This allows continuous delivery practices like frequent deployments and rapid troubleshooting while still preventing any single person from having end-to-end access or making unregulated changes.

Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) - 1st Workshop, Nov 5-7, 2019MichaelaIorgaPhD
Abstract:
Aligning security risk management and compliance activities with the broader adoption of cloud technology and the exponential increase in the complexity of smart systems leveraging such cloud solutions has been a challenging task to date. Additionally, the proliferation of container technology employed in cloud ecosystems for enhanced portability and security, compels organizations to leverage risk management strategies that are tightly coupled with the dynamic nature of their systems. NIST’s Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) is a standard of standards that provides a normalized expression of security requirements across standards, and machine-readable representation of security information from controls to system implementation and security assessment. This bridges the gap between antiquated approaches to IT compliance and innovative technology solutions.
Imagine a future where security documentation builds itself, and security management tools from different vendors integrate seamlessly. Security practitioners will spend less time on security documentation, assessments, and adjudication, yet the results of those activities will be more accurate and more easily monitored. OSCAL enables this and more.
