The facility was launched as part of the company’s CSR efforts undertaken in the field of "Health" to create a long-term impact by equipping government hospitals with better health infrastructure. The facility was inaugurated by Mr. C V Subramanyam, Chairman and Managing Director at Cigniti Technologies, along with Mr. Sairam Vedam, CMO at Cigniti Technologies, Ms. Urmila Markili, Senior Vice President at Cigniti Technologies and Mr. Midhun Pingili, Senior Director Marketing at Cigniti Technologies.

Building The Smart Fabric Of 5G Connectivity With Experience Assurance

Building The Smart Fabric Of 5G Connectivity With Experience Assurance

A century after the 1918 flu, another pandemic struck the world. However, there is a world of a difference in the way the two pandemics have been navigated through and controlled, especially in terms of crisis communication. Today, we no longer need to dispatch boy scout armies to announce safety protocols and infection control guidelines to the general public. All the information that we need is available on the internet with only a few taps, sometimes even with just a voice instruction to smart assistants like Siri and Alexa.

In all fairness, hundred years seem like an ample period of time to bring about such a major transition. But since the invention of the world wide web about 30 years ago, the degree and scale of evolution of network technology have been unprecedented. As we gear up to leverage the 5G experience of negligible latency and real-time data transmission, it is interesting to see that the internet has transitioned from being a luxury almost a decade back to an absolute necessity to keep up with the constantly changing consumer needs and market dynamics.

Manage Open Source Risk but Keep Engineers Empowered

Speakers:

Rajesh Sarangapani - Head of Innovation & Practice at Cigniti Technologies
Mitun Zavery - Director Pre-Sales Engineering at Sonatype

Abstract:

Senior Infosec Architects need a 360-degree view of application security issues across the custom code and open course components before it is pushed through to the QA team.

  • 80% of application code comes from open source libraries
  • 62% of organisations do not have any control over what components are used in their applications
  • 31% of organisations experienced a breach related to vulnerable open-source components

Key Takeaways:

  • The State of Open Source Consumption
  • The Risk Involved with Open Source
  • Why Software Composition Analysis is a “Must Have”
  • How Cigniti and Sonatype are currently solving the problem

Shift Left or Squish Right: Getting Time to Test

Speakers:

James Bach - CEO and Principal Consultant - Satisfice, Inc., A pioneer of Rapid, Exploratory, and Agile Testing.
Kalyana Rao Konda - President, North America at Cigniti Technologies

Abstract:

Shift Left testing recommends reversing the testing approach and involving system/software testing earlier in the lifecycle. Practically, it means moving the testing approach on the left end on the project timeline.

However, "programmers generally won’t stop coding to spend days developing and performing deep testing. What they mean by “testing” is relatively simple output checking. Deep testing may never happen in a shift-left regime, which then forces that work to the right — into the world of production and users. I call that “squish left and right," which means that there is pressure not to allow testers to perform a competent test process. How do we resist this pressure? How do we sell testing?", asks James Bach.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to pitch Testing and its timing to key stakeholders.
  • The impact of testing at various stages of a digital transformation.
  • Your customers/users and the brand from technical issues.
