Tech Resources: Everything you need to get ahead

Hi {NAME}, The Register: Tech Resources - 23 October 2018 ### Vanquish Your Growing Backlog of Failing Tests We live in a world in which software is becoming increasingly dominant and complex. With greater complexity, software development teams are having to adopt more sophisticated testing processes and tools. This allows them to run more tests, which in turn leads to a corresponding increase in the number of failures they have to potentially address. In most software engineering organizations test failures - particularly intermittent failures - accrue at a faster rate than they can be fixed, resulting in a growing backlog of undiagnosed failing tests. This is fast becoming a crisis, particularly for engineering managers in charge of delivery schedules and responsible for quality control. Every unfixed failure is a potential security breach or catastrophic customer outage waiting to happen. This is never starker than when severe production issues are traced back to failures that were already exposed in tests. In this whitepaper, we demonstrate how modern development methods can be used in conjunction with record and replay technology to diagnose and fix bugs in test before they result in customer disruption, reputational damage and revenue loss.

With DevOps working, you can deliver faster, become more innovative, gain market share and all end of wonderful benefits. At least, that’s the principle. Opening this line of communication is a start, but (as many organisations are finding out) the path to nirvana requires a few more stakeholders on the team. Not least security professionals, whose expertise often sits out on a limb, to be brought in only if pushed. It’s a challenge: bring security into the development cycle and progress slows; leave it out and risk increases. So, what to do? In recognition of the need to bring security into DevOps, someone somewhere has coined the clunky, yet appropriate term DevSecOps: no, we don’t like it either, but it does what it says on the tin. In this webinar we look at how to deliver on this need, covering: * Why security needs to shift left, a.k.a. the relationship between timeliness and risk * Challenges of delivering on the DevSecOps (ahem) dream * A road map for delivering security-enabled innovation * Tools, technologies and practices to help along the way So, if you’ve got burning questions about how to do DevSecOps, if you have it all sussed and want to share the goodness, or if you simply have a better name for the thing, join our panel and let’s see how far down this rabbit hole goes.
