Deployment Management with @Plutora | @CloudExpo [#DevOps #APM]

Despite the prevalence of public and private clouds in the enterprise, most IT departments still adhere to operational models designed for physical infrastructure and servers that involve complex environment setup processes. As a result, organizations miss opportunities to take advantage of dynamic cloud-based deployments for non-production environments.

There are a number of reasons why it is often too difficult for enterprises to stand up a non-production environment for testing or staging. Databases have to be provisioned, application servers need to be configured, and a testing environment for a complex system can take weeks or months to properly certify as ready for use. This involves a lot of coordination and effort to setup environments. Organizations typically simplify setup by treating environments as permanent because they lack a tool like Plutora to help them keep track of environment management efforts.

WebRTC’s Impact on Testing By @SmartBear | @ThingsExpo [#IoT #WebRTC]

Web Real Time Communications (WebRTC) is changing the way we have traditionally communicated and collaborated. To be specific, the technology allows developers to embed voice, data, instant messaging, and video into web browsers, thereby providing easier and far efficient ways to communicate than Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) services such as Skype, WhatsApp, and WebEx.
WebRTC has come a long way since its inception in May 2011. Right from achieving interoperability between Chrome and Firefox browsers in 2013 to rolling out support for Android mobile, WebRTC has continued to garner more attention every year. And the market momentum is expected to continue growing. Infact, a recent Analysts Mason report predicts that with Apple and Microsoft incorporating WebRTC in their browsers, there might be 7 billion devices supporting WebRTC by 2020. With that strong growth rate, it is imperative for testers to have a strategy in place in order to test WebRTC applications efficiently. But before we venture down that path, it is critical to understand what’s driving this growth and how testing a WebRTC is different from any other web applications.

WebRTC and CloudRTC Platforms | @ThingsExpo [#IoT #WebRTC]

Disruption in the communications ecosystem is creating a market opportunity for Cloud Real-Time Communications (RTC) platforms. We expect this market to represent a $4.5 billion opportunity by 2018. Cloud RTC Platforms are cloud services that enable mobile and web developers to integrate communications into their applications with just a few lines of code. Via REST APIs and SDKs Cloud RTC Platforms enable developers to easily integrate voice, messaging and video calling into mobile and web applications supporting more contextual conversations. These tools have the potential to change in how we interact with each other in the future.
