DevOps helps organizations increase accountability for coding best practices, drive predictable production outcomes, and streamline software delivery via automation. SAFe focuses on bringing lean and agile practices into picture to align the traditional processes with the business goals to manage complex architecture and processes with ease and at speed.

Integrating Automated Testing Into DevOps and Agile

Integrating Automated Testing Into DevOps and Agile

Speaker:

Vibhu Taneja, Director - Head of Transformation, Quality Engineering & Environments at Deutsche Bank

Abstract:

Automation facilitates the ‘test early, test often, test everywhere’ strategy in DevOps & Agile enterprises
Transformation of SDLCs without the transformation of testing approach is just a futile attempt at optimization. Testing used to be an afterthought, a last-minute protocol in legacy SDLCs. Agile and DevOps put testing on forefront, bringing in the ‘shift-left’ mindset. But manual testing takes away the essence of these modern methodologies, thus, making testing an inhibitor rather than a facilitator in delivering quality products at speed. Automated testing upholds efficiency of Agile sprints and empower collaboration in DevOps teams. As enterprises are now adopting an ‘Agile+DevOps’ approach for software development, automated testing becomes the key to a successful and timely deployment. Register for the webinar and join the discussion with Vibhu Taneja and Nanda Padmaraju.

Key Takeaways:

Manual testing is not feasible for a continuous testing strategy. To test everywhere and to test efficiently, automated testing is required in DevOps & Agile enterprises.
With extensive experience in handling complex transformational multi-year programs and business critical transformation projects, Vibhu Taneja and Nanda Padmaraju will help you understand, discover, know, and learn how to integrate test automation into Agile & DevOps.

  • Understand why you should get rid of your traditional testing ways
  • Discover the rewards of bringing automation into the picture
  • Learn how automated testing facilitates business growth
  • Know the ways to integrate automation with your existing approach
