Quest for Quality with IoT

Are you or anyone you know struggling with solving the puzzle of Internet of things and how to deliver quality for IoT products? Are you keen to develop your knowledge about cutting-edge products like IoT? Then this session is for you. A few years ago I entered the amazing and somewhat overwhelming world of IoT. Since then with the support of my team, I have carved out a few strategies that work well for us. I hope they will help you and your teams as well.

Testing in the Cloud

Full details to be announced closer to event date. Trust us on this, it is going to be special.

How to lose a container in 10 minutes!

Moving to the cloud and deploying containers? In this talk I discuss both the mindset shift and tech challenges, with some common mistakes made in real-life deployments with some real life examples. We'll also be looking at my ongoing research about how easy (or not) it is to get a container and Kubernetes cluster hacked on purpose.

Cloud-Driven Innovation

To stay relevant in today's creative economy, businesses need to move faster. Let's discuss examples of rapid prototyping and experimentation and how to use cloud services as drivers for innovation.

A Deep View of How to Be Security Aware in a Digital World

James will discuss the broad range of threats in cyberspace and how to minimise risks to personal data, bank accounts and cybercrime. As if that wasn’t enough he will poor practices in web development which have allowed gross breaches or privacy to occur. Bitcoin, cloud, Ponzi – some of the words he may mention. Card skimming, identity theft, passwords – definitely on the agenda.

Streamlining Serverless Development, Testing and Deployment with AWS SAM

AWS SAM, the Serverless Application Model, allows you to succinctly define the collection of resources that make up your serverless applications. The SAM CLI is a tool that allows developers to bootstrap their development with blueprints, and to locally debug and test their serverless applications. In this session you will learn how you can use these tools, together with the AWS Code Suite, to increase the speed at which you develop, test and release products, services and features to your users, in a fully-managed, cloud-native CI/CD workflow.

How to remain relevant as QA - Survival of the Species Requires Evolution and Adaptation

Quality Analysts (QAs) are not there to assure quality.

They are there to analyse quality and quality practices and advise on approaches to system quality. They are particularly good at helping mitigate quality risks because of their trained ability to question what seems to be there.

They are neither the gatekeepers of the releases, nor meant to be the bottlenecks for testing, nor the owners of quality.

We always need testing and feedback, but do we always need testers?

Sometimes we do, and sometimes we don’t. This talk is knowing when one is relevant and then knowing HOW to be relevant. This includes looking after your career as QA and staying ahead of the curve and remaining employable.

Rocking it with Mountebank !!

When it comes to developing and testing services how can we be more productive and at the same time be able to start testing earlier, when dependent services are not yet ready or unavailable.

In our talk we’re going to explore service virtualisation using “Mountebank”, how to setup and integrate our test suite with Mountebank, as well as a look into the benefits and issues we came across.

Quality Health Monitor: Making Quality Everybody's Responsibility

Are you a quality champion in your team and struggle to get developers and others to care about quality? Are you looking for a way to measure your team's state of quality? Then the Quality Health Monitor is for you!

The Quality Health Monitor (QHM) is based on Atlassian's Health Monitor for teams but very much focused on Dev teams and their quality maturity. The health monitor lists 8 quality attributes for the team to honestly rate themselves against each one and then openly discuss within 1 hour. At the end of the session, the team decides on action points to improve their quality health. Running the QHM regularly shows the progression of the team's quality maturity over time.
