It notes that mobile is slower due to factors like network latency, available bandwidth, processing power and battery preserving strategies in mobile browsers. It advocates an adaptive responsive design approach using server-side components to reduce downloading of unnecessary assets, optimize assets for specific devices, and eliminate issues caused by high latency and variable bandwidth on mobile networks. This hybrid responsive-adaptive approach aims to provide a faster mobile user experience.
PSQT Keynote: Quality Challenges in the Internet of Things EraXBOSoft
The Internet of Things is made up of three core elements: things, communications and computing. Things are devices connected to the Internet such as a watch, car or appliances in your home. For IoT to work, these things need to be connected, communicating statuses and other information with each other in real time. And with this information, the last element of IoT is computing and storage. What will all this information be used for? What actions can or should be taken? How and where will the information be stored, on a server, on a mobile phone? And who will it be accessible by?
IoT offers both efficiency and automation to daily life, and with an estimated 26 billion connected devices by 2020, there’s bound to be issues with security, reliability and connectivity within that enormous, intricate network. This makes the role of QA critical.
For example: security. Will someone be able to hack into my home network and then into my wearable device and steal my medical information? Then there’s data storage, the actual efficiency of the device and user interactions to account for. IoT is still growing so quickly that QA testers must be able to keep up with the increasing complexity of it as it continues to expand.
Simply making sure that the device and its software works correctly in a controlled environment in isolation is not acceptable. Yet, how can you test all the scenarios? Scenarios include not only the multitude of devices that can connect together in a combination of ecosystems, but also, the data they produce. How we develop test data sets that accurately represent the real world must also be considered, as well as how we can make sure it is secure with such a multitude of sensors collecting data. Lastly, IoT is not about devices. We still have to make sure the user has an integrated experience across devices and software. Hence, usability in IoT could be the most overlooked game breaker for IoT. In this session, find out the latest technologies, thought patterns, techniques and methods to move beyond old school QA (desktops, web and mobile) where devices work mostly in isolation.
Web performance is important for businesses. Slow site speeds can negatively impact key metrics like conversion rates and search engine rankings. The document recommends measuring a site's performance, improving front-end issues like page load times, and continuously monitoring metrics to ensure optimizations are effective. Specific front-end optimizations include minifying files, lazy loading content, using a content delivery network, and avoiding unnecessary requests.

The data warehouse is intended to support analysis by making the right data available to the right people in a timely fashion. But conditions change all the time, and when data doesn’t keep up with the business, analysts quickly turn to workarounds. This leads to ungoverned and largely un-managed side projects, which trade short-term wins for long-term trouble. One way to keep everyone happy is by creating an integrated environment that pulls data from all sources, and is capable of automating both the model development and delivery of analyst-ready data.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear data warehousing pioneer and Analyst Barry Devlin as he explains the critical components of a successful data warehouse environment, and how traditional approaches must be augmented to keep up with the times. He’ll be briefed by WhereScape CEO Michael Whitehead, who will showcase his company’s data warehousing automation solutions.

Third-party sellers are kicking our first party butt. Badly.Zohar Urian
- Third-party sellers on Amazon have grown dramatically from 3% of total sales to 58% of total sales, significantly outpacing Amazon's own first-party sales growth.
- Amazon helped third-party sellers succeed by developing tools to help them sell, store inventory, and fulfill orders, including Fulfillment by Amazon and Prime membership programs.
- The document discusses Amazon's culture of innovation through intuition, curiosity, and experimentation or "wandering" to invent products and services customers want but may not know they need.
We're on the precipice of unprecedented value chain disruption. Lower barriers to entry (Internet everywhere, cheap connected hardware, easy to learn programming languages, data driven brand experiences, crowd funding and social validation) multiplied by an African population hungry for connection, for solutions, for invention and we're faced an unknown quantity of inventiveness - the invention economy.
This presentation aims to introduce the concept of disruption, build a rationale as to why it's coming, and how to deal with it NOW.
Audience: Corporates, large businesses, businesses ruled by legacy culture.
Michael King gives a presentation on the state of SEO. He argues that despite technological advances by Google, the fundamentals of SEO have not changed - clients still do not implement recommendations fully and do not understand good link building. He outlines four problems with SEO: lack of a single source of truth, measuring the wrong metrics, ineffective business cases, and inability to keep up technically. He provides solutions such as measuring outcomes over opportunities and building cases through keyword research tied to consumer insights. King urges SEOs to improve pitches and technical skills like entity extraction to keep up with Google.
This document provides an agenda for a presentation on machine learning in action and how to derive meaningful business insights from data. The presentation will include an introduction to machine learning and anomaly detection theory. It will cover an anomaly detection use case from TalkTalk on detecting anomalies in broadband access. It will also cover a predictive analytics use case on predicting student outcomes. The presentation will conclude with a wrap up and Q&A section.
Solve User Problems: Data Architecture for Humansmark madsen
We are bombarded with stories of the latest products to hit the market – products that will change everything we do. This causes us to focus on the latest technology, building IT for the sake of building IT. Meanwhile, the world still seems to run on Excel.
The “big innovators” who have and use unimaginably large amounts of data are not the norm. Aspiring to use the same complex technologies and patterns they do leads to poor investments and tradeoffs. This is an age-old problem rooted in the over-emphasis of technology as the agent of change. Technology isn’t the answer – it’s the platform on which people build answers.
To emphasize technology is to ignore the way tools change people and practices. The design focus in our market was on storing and making data accessible. If we want to make progress then we need to step back from the details and look at data from the perspective of the organization. Our design focus shifts to people learning and applying new insights, asking questions about how an organization can be more resilient, more efficient, or faster to sense and respond to changing conditions.
In this talk you will learn how to put your data architecture into a human frame of reference. Drawing inspiration from the history of technology and urban planning, we will see that the services provided by the things we build are what drive success, not the latest shiny distraction.
Mike King - “Technical Marketing is Just The Price of Admission”Confluence Conference

To our shareowners:
Something strange and remarkable has happened over the last 20 years. Take a look at these numbers:
1999 3%
2000 3%
2001 6%
2002 17%
2003 22%
2004 25%
2005 28%

2014 49%
2015 51%
2016 54%
2017 56%
2018 58%
The percentages represent the share of physical gross merchandise sales sold on Amazon by independent third-
party sellers – mostly small- and medium-sized businesses – as opposed to Amazon retail’s own first party sales.
Third-party sales have grown from 3% of the total to 58%. To put it bluntly:
Third-party sellers are kicking our first party butt. Badly.
And it’s a high bar too because our first-party business has grown dramatically over that period, from $1.6 billion
in 1999 to $117 billion this past year. The compound annual growth rate for our first-party business in that time
period is 25%. But in that same time, third-party sales have grown from $0.1 billion to $160 billion – a
compound annual growth rate of 52%. To provide an external benchmark, eBay’s gross merchandise sales in that
period have grown at a compound rate of 20%, from $2.8 billion to $95 billion.
Why did independent sellers do so much better selling on Amazon than they did on eBay? And why were
independent sellers able to grow so much faster than Amazon’s own highly organized first-party sales
organization? There isn’t one answer, but we do know one extremely important part of the answer:
We helped independent sellers compete against our first-party business by investing in and offering them the very
best selling tools we could imagine and build. There are many such tools, including tools that help sellers manage
inventory, process payments, track shipments, create reports, and sell across borders – and we’re inventing more
every year. But of great importance are Fulfillment by Amazon and the Prime membership program. In
combination, these two programs meaningfully improved the customer experience of buying from independent
sellers. With the success of these two programs now so well established, it’s difficult for most people to fully
appreciate today just how radical those two offerings were at the time we launched them. We invested in both of
these programs at significant financial risk and after much internal debate. We had to continue investing
significantly over time as we experimented with different ideas and iterations. We could not foresee with
certainty what those programs would eventually look like, let alone whether they would succeed, but they were
pushed forward with intuition and heart, and nourished with optimism.
Intuition, curiosity, and the power of wandering
