While testing is often ignored when it comes to DevOps – it could be the most important aspect of achieving true DevOps success. Without rethinking automated testing from the ground-up, the entire DevOps productivity gain cannot be realized.
Large tech companies build their own rapid test automation that runs in minutes across functional, performance, security and other tests.
In his session at DevOps Summit, Kevin Surace, CEO of Appvance, discussed how we learn from these real-world successes and achieve a 95% time reduction in creating and running automated unified tests. Otherwise enterprises must make a tradeoff between velocity and quality. Learning from the leaders, that tradeoff does not need to be made.

DevOps Resolutions for 2016 | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Microservices
At year-end, we often consider where we’ve fallen short over the last twelve months – and how we can do better over the next twelve. For IT leaders, DevOps is likely to be a primary concern for 2016. As application awesomeness becomes more important to the business, IT must get great code into production faster. DevOps success is thus imperative – especially if you’re competing against digital-first market disrupters.
DevOps, though, isn’t just about engineering better processes. It’s also about cultural transformation. This reality makes some IT leaders uneasy, because excellence at operational management – rather than cultural leadership – got them where they are today.

Navigating the IoT with @EmbeddedExperts | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M
“The problem with IoT today is that people aren’t looking to buy IoT, what they’re really trying to do is buy a business outcome or trying to figure out ways to improve the business outcome. It just so happens that IoT may be the technology that can help do that,” stated Dave McCarthy, Director of Products at Bsquare Corporation, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @ThingsExpo, held November 3-5, 2015, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

Where Are We Headed with Cloud-Based Collaboration Technologies | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Collaboration is a big focus area among technology start-ups. The past five years have seen a range of new products in this area that have completely transformed the way businesses work. Thanks to the likes of Trello and Slack, team members do not even have to live in the same city or even country any longer. Start-ups like Zapier operate with a completely remote workforce thanks to these telecommuting tools.
While these tools help with keeping team members updated on the status of various tasks and work well as project management tools, they do not actually help with decision making and strategy. This requires face-to-face meetings that video conferencing tools like ClickMeeting help with. Through such tools, various stakeholders in a project can get together on a virtual platform and deliberate on various issues in real-time. This makes physical meetings unnecessary while helping businesses reach consensus faster.
Nanobots, Wearables, and IoT Innovations By @ElleMWood | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M
Data has changed our world.. From our cars, homes, pets, and even our own bodies, data has opened our eyes to behavior patterns and allowed us to catch on to small issues before they become bigger problems. This phenomenon has made huge waves in the healthcare industry, including reducing operational costs, improving independent living, and increasing early detection of diseases. With the wildfire set by the Internet of Things, healthcare data from wearables and other mHealth devices are helping patients take a more informed and active role in their healthcare, and give doctors more insight into diagnosis and treatment plans.
