  • Key Note at STARWest 2012: State-of-the-Art Cloud Testing: Experiences with Bing Search

    TechWell

    Ken Johnston, Microsoft
    The cloud is penetrating every technology organization and almost every software product or service. The cloud affects everything inside development, bringing profound changes to how engineers build, test, release, and maintain software and systems. Sharing his experiences at Microsoft working on the Bing search engine, Ken Johnston reveals how they devised and implemented a test-oriented architecture (TOA) at every layer within their product solution.

    Ken Johnston, Microsoft
    The cloud is penetrating every technology organization and almost every software product or service. The cloud affects everything inside development, bringing profound changes to how engineers build, test, release, and maintain software and systems. Sharing his experiences at Microsoft working on the Bing search engine, Ken Johnston reveals how they devised and implemented a test-oriented architecture (TOA) at every layer within their product solution. He explores what stayed the same and what changed when their test organization moved to state-of-the-art cloud testing. Learn how the cloud is driving broader adoption of agile development and driving organizations toward accelerated release rates. Find out how the Bing team shifted to a “continuous testing in production” model for testing web services and eliminated the surprises that came from the old approach of big-at-the-end testing. Because the cloud is a platform for both building systems and for execution, you need to develop and implement your own TOA to fully leverage the power of the cloud.

  • Track Session STARWest 2012: Big Data and Quality

    TechWell

    Big Data systems—those in which data sets grow so large that they become awkward to work with using traditional tools—are a huge problem for testers. To address the Big Data problem, testers must throw the traditional approach of creating and executing fixed test cases out the window. Ken Johnston and Reena Agarwal share how testing is changing and adapting within Microsoft on the Bing search platform and elsewhere. There, they are implementing sophisticated analysis techniques to validate…

    Big Data systems—those in which data sets grow so large that they become awkward to work with using traditional tools—are a huge problem for testers. To address the Big Data problem, testers must throw the traditional approach of creating and executing fixed test cases out the window. Ken Johnston and Reena Agarwal share how testing is changing and adapting within Microsoft on the Bing search platform and elsewhere. There, they are implementing sophisticated analysis techniques to validate system output and measure data quality. Join this leading edge session to learn what Big Data is all about and the technologies driving these new systems. Explore examples from different industries—including Big Data testing within Microsoft and Bing—and explore the new skills you and your team will need to test in the era of Big Data. When you hear about the petabytes, exabytes, zettabytes, or yottabytes of data coming your way, you’ll be ready.

  • Leaping into the Cloud Rewards, Risks, and Mitigations

Sure, the marketing materials presented by cloud providers tout huge cost savings and service level improvementsa€”but they gloss over the many risks such as data loss, security leaks, gaps in availability, and application migration costs. Ken Johnston and Seth Eliot share new research on the successful…

    The cloud has rapidly gone from a€?that thing I should know something abouta€? to the a€?centerpiece of our corporate IT five-year strategy.a€? However, cloud computing is still in its infancy. Sure, the marketing materials presented by cloud providers tout huge cost savings and service level improvementsa€”but they gloss over the many risks such as data loss, security leaks, gaps in availability, and application migration costs. Ken Johnston and Seth Eliot share new research on the successful migrations of corporate IT and web-based companies to the cloud. Ken and Seth lay out the risks to consider and explore the rewards the cloud has to offer when companies employ sound architecture and design approaches. Discover the foibles of poor architecture and design, and how to mitigate these challenges through a novel Test Oriented Architecture (TOA) approach. Take back insights from industry leadersa€”Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Netflixa€”that have jumped into the cloud so that your organization does not slam to the ground when it takes the leap.
