Breaking things on purpose: achieving resilience through chaos engineering |
|
Speaker: Matthew Fellows, SmartBear Principal Product Manager |
|
|
Agility has brought us iterative software development, independent feature teams, nimble architectures and distributed, scalable infrastructure. But how do you maintain confidence in these systems in the face of this emergent complexity and fast paced change? The answer is to anticipate and practice failure! In this session we explore GameDays, a collaborative exercise where teams safely introduce chaos into their systems, in order to make them better.

May Speaker: Robin Goldsmith . . . |
| In May, SQGNE past President and current Vice President, Robin Goldsmith, discussed the international standards process, why so few seem to be aware of standards let alone recognize they're still relevant and valuable resources, and the progression of the SQA standard (which SQGNE members should know and care about) from plan to reactive to proactive. Robin described the differences among the six working groups he has been in, including tips for influencing standards' content. |
