This document discusses best practices for performance testing mobile applications. It begins by acknowledging that there is no single best practice, and that approaches need to be adapted to each situation. It then covers how mobile testing differs from traditional web testing due to factors like device and network diversity. The document provides guidelines for assessing the user and load profile, utilizing network simulation tools, addressing device performance metrics, and leveraging cloud-based solutions. It emphasizes the importance of testing across different networks and devices to fully evaluate the mobile user experience.

The document discusses Sanjiva Weerawarana, founder and CEO of WSO2, and his vision for the company. It summarizes that Weerawarana thinks long-term and aims to build a comprehensive middleware platform, not focus on hype. It also outlines WSO2's product strategy updates to support microservices, containers, cloud, analytics, mobile/IoT, and consumerization of IT through a series of new and updated products.

A 30 minute discussion on how Systems Administrators can take advantage of build pipelines to confirm their configurations work.

Today, three things are undeniable facts of business—projects are becoming more agile, teams are learning to function well remotely, and the tester’s role is evolving. Mike Hrycyk believes that testers in agile teams face daunting challenges and often struggle to keep up with the pace of new feature development while performing all the needed regression testing activities. Mike offers a strategy as an alternate path: the creation of a regression testing team to augment feature teams, one that works in parallel, handling the testing regression cycle while the feature teams—developers and testers—continue to work through new development. Mike offers tips for successful feature handoff, intra-team communication, and troubleshooting hurdles that will be encountered. Although augmented regression testing is at odds with the advice of many agile “experts,” it enabled their agile development to achieve higher velocity.

Micro Services provide a means to build more flexible infrastructures that can maintained by large and distributed teams. Micro Deployments allow us to constantly evolve our applications step by step in small increments constantly. These paradigms helps us to achieve more agility. At the same time the force us to rethink how we run our DevOps processes. This talk covers the key requirements for DevOps follow the Site Reliability Engineering approach

The document discusses the journey from traditional waterfall development processes to continuous delivery using DevOps principles. It describes how the software delivery chain is evolving to emphasize automation, faster releases, and shifting testing left into the development process. QA's role also evolves from separate and manual testing to becoming more technical and integrating testing automation into the continuous integration and delivery pipelines. The presentation provides strategies for organizations adopting these changes and shares examples from companies that have made the transition.

Microservices are small services with independent lifecycles that work together. There is an underlying tension in that definition – how independent can you be when you have to be part of a whole? I’ve spent much of the last couple of years trying to understand how to find the right balance, and in this talk/tutorial I’ll be presenting the core seven principles that I think represent what makes microservices tick. After a brief introduction of what microservices are and why they are important, we’ll spend the bulk of the time looking at the principles themselves, wherever possible covering real-world examples and technology: - Modelled around business domain – using techniques from domain-driven design to find service boundaries leads to better team alignment and more stable service boundaries, avoiding expensive cross-service changes. - Culture of automation – all organisations that use microservices at scale have strong cultures of automation. We’ll look at some of their stories and think about which sort of automation is key. - Hide implementation details – how do you hide the detail inside each service to avoid coupling, and ensure each service retains its autonomous nature? - Decentralize all the things! – we have to push power down as far as we can, and this goes for both the system and organisational architecture. We’ll look at everything from autonomous self-contained teams and internal open source, to using choreographed systems to handle long-lived business transactions. - Deploy independently – this is all about being able to deploy safely. So we’ll cover everything from deployment models to consumer-driven contracts and the importance of separating deployment from release. - Isolate failure – just making a system distributed doesn’t make it more stable than a monolithic application. So what do you need to look for? - Highly observable – we need to understand the health of a single service, but also the whole ecosystem. How? In terms of learning outcomes, beginners will get a sense of what microservices are and what makes them different, whereas more experienced practitioners will get insight and practical advice into how to implement them.

This document summarizes a presentation about testing e-commerce websites for Black Friday. It discusses: - Best practices for retail e-commerce testing including having a testing strategy, understanding user behavior, and testing in production. - How SOASTA CloudTest can help with testing including global test locations, automated scaling, and a "kill switch" to stop tests without fear. - A case study of how Cigniti helped a large US retailer improve customer experience by addressing challenges like outdated technology, siloed teams, and a lack of comprehensive testing strategy. Outcomes included improved performance, scalability, and user experience.

This webinar discusses extending supply chain network optimization towards cost-to-serve modeling. It describes how optimization can find the best network designs and allocate shared costs fairly. The webinar explains how adding supply chain network optimization to cost-to-serve modeling allows companies to minimize costs, maximize growth, improve cost allocation, and ensure their cost-to-serve analysis remains accurate over time.

The document outlines principles of microservices, including modeling services around business domains, having a culture of automation that hides implementation details, decentralizing control, deploying services independently, and prioritizing consumers. Key principles discussed are isolating failure, making services highly observable, deploying independently, and having consumer-first design. Microservice architectures start small and grow organically over time as more services are added.

It's all about conversion. Every e-commerce business that cares about improving revenue has a narrow focus of optimizing their website to improve customer experience. However, most companies still lack the ability to create realistic website performance tests due to limitations in their current test methods. In this webinar you'll learn: 1) How to tie business metrics (ROI) with website performance metrics and real user data 2) How to build performance tests that will model user behavior on your site 3) How to correlate data analytics so you can troubleshoot bottlenecks to improve performance

This document outlines a presentation on digital marketing trends, analytics, and tactics. The presentation covers emerging digital trends like the shift from focusing on customers to users. It also discusses analyzing audience data with Google Analytics, including fundamental metrics and behavioral insights. Finally, it proposes developing tactics to drive engagement and conversion, using frameworks like marketing mixology that blend different channels. The presentation aims to provide an overview of key concepts in digital marketing.

This document discusses building business agility through continuous delivery and customer development. It emphasizes reducing uncertainty through frequent customer feedback and releasing minimum viable products. Continuous integration, deployment, and delivery are recommended to get feedback early and often. Hypotheses about product-market fit and customer value should be validated through experiments and metrics. Cross-functional teams are advised to build, measure, and learn quickly in iterative cycles aligned with customer needs.
