Measuring Value Realization Through Testing in Production

Measuring Value Realization Through Testing in Production

It’s a key tenet in DevOps that we shift testing left, doing it as early as we can in the software delivery cycle to optimize quality. We automate it to accelerate flow and to build the foundation for continuous delivery. But it’s an impossible dream that all software pushed to live is defect free, so what are the best patterns for testing in production? And how does ‘shifting right’ provide feedback we can build back into the continuous delivery lifecycle of DevOps?

Reduce ‘Unknown Unknowns’ Across Your CI/CD Pipeline

Reduce ‘Unknown Unknowns’ Across Your CI/CD Pipeline

Applying rapid changes produces some impacts you might expect, and others which you won’t. But trying to understand every nuance of every impact can actually subtract from your ability to deliver on rapid iterations or practice the classic ‘Third Way.’ Join us to discuss practical monitoring and observability methods that DevOps and SRE teams can employ to balance change and uncertainty without the need to constantly reconfigure monitoring systems.

Charities we are supporting

100% of net ticket revenue* is being donated to organizations working towards diversity, equity, and inclusion in the technology industry.

*Net ticket revenue is defined as the collected ticket price minus applicable taxes, credit card fees, and processing fees.

Accelerating the software side of human progress

Brought to you by InfoQ

Senior software developers rely on the InfoQ community to keep ahead of the adoption curve. One of the main reasons software architects and engineers tell us they keep coming back to InfoQ is because they trust the information provided and selected by their peers.

We’ve been helping software development teams adopt new technologies and practices for over 15 years through InfoQ articles, news items, podcasts, tech talks, trends reports and QCon software development conferences. Join a community of senior software engineers, architects and team leads and never miss out on important trends.

Frequently asked questions

What is the event format and what are the different session types?

The event includes presentations including live Q&A with the speaker, followed by "Continue the Conversation", an unformal AMA session.

InfoQ Live will feature sponsored Roundtables: live panel discussions between software practitioners where attendees can ask their own questions.

Q&A: How can I pose questions to Speakers?

Just type your question in the chat during the presentation or during the couple of minutes preceding the Q&A time and we'll share the questions with the speaker during the Q&A dedicated time.

What is "Continue the Conversation"?

This is a dedicated space for attendees and speakers to Continue the Conversation after each session.

Please note that this session is unstructured and unfacilitated - it’s a space for you to engage naturally with our speakers - just as you might do after seeing a presentation at an in-person conference.

A Zoom meeting room will open when joining. Please join the Zoom room with your camera on and unmute yourself to talk. A member of the InfoQ Team will let you know when the next session is beginning.

Will attendees get access to the presentation videos?

Registered attendees will get access to the talk recordings included in their ticket after the event. Recordings for the Roundtables will be accessible about 48 hours after the event. Recordings will remain available for a duration of 30 days.

What are the Roundtable Sessions?

Roundtable sessions are co-located, sponsored virtual events happening right after the InfoQ Live sessions. They are panel discussions between practitioners, led and designed by a practitioner moderator, with an opportunity for participants to ask questions.

Roundtables are free and open to all. Registration is required.
