TechTalk: Managing Change in a DevOps World

Explore the benefits of integrating ARA and CCA, demonstrating the automated provisioning of a cloud based environment and configuration of a multi-tiered application.

Organizations often confuse Deployment Automation and Configuration Automation tools, believing that both can perform the role of the other. Whilst there are certainly overlaps between the Application Release Automation (ARA) and Change Configuration Automation (CCA) technologies, each tool type has specific value propositions and strengths.

You’ll learn how to:
• Implement an End to End DevOps Pipeline
• Provision and deploy to cloud Infrastructure
• Automate Application Deployments to newly provisioned systems
• Integrate Chef and Deployment Automation
• Orchestrate your deployment process

DevOps is not just for start-ups. However, scaling DevOps in large enterprises requires shifting of culture, coordination of work across teams, reinvention of legacy applications and much more. Before you undertake any change to improve your software development processes, you would want to learn from the person who has gone before you and tasted success. Join the conversation with Gary Gruver on our next DevOps drive-in webcast. Gary shares his best practices and recommendations from his groundbreaking work at HP and Macy's and talk about how to lead a successful DevOps transformation.

Track and manage hours across products and releases with the SBM Time Processing System process app.

The SBM Time Processing System process applications helps teams and organizations manage hours across products and releases within the business. Managing and overseeing an employee’s hours can be troublesome, between licensing fees and application overhead, choosing the correct solution proves difficult.

Ready for Continuous Testing?

Many organizations are beginning to consider implementing test automation (TA) tools to reap the benefits of Continuous Testing (CT). This method offers faster, more efficient software delivery without compromising quality.

A joint webinar with Micro Focus and Intervise will cover the following:
•What are CT and TA?
•What are some examples of successful CT and TA?
•Are your processes, management, and infrastructure ready for CT and TA?

Join us on April 5th at 9:00 am PST to learn about the latest updates to Micro Focus SBM, and how those new features can benefit you. You will learn about Kanban views, backlog views and even new field types. SBM developers have been busy releasing new features and functionality that could add value to both your new and existing processes.

Kanban Views:
• Visualize and monitor the flow of work items in a team environment
• Simplify team communications and effectiveness
• Establish Work in Progress (WIP) limits
• Move items through the workflow by simply dragging and dropping

Backlog Views:
• Quickly define, prioritize and decompose project work from multiple configurable backlogs
• Reduce the overwhelming wall of unorganized workload

Using DevOps?

Learn why software configuration is essential

To successfully implement DevOps practices, you need a software configuration management tool that addresses complex parallel and distributed development environments while accelerating development processes and improving asset reuse.

Join us for a TechTalk webinar to learn how AccuRev and its stream-based architecture can contribute to successful DevOps practices.

What’s Your DevOps Strategy?

Our TechTalk webinar will help you enhance it

Ever asked any of these questions?
•How do you cultivate a DevOps strategy?
•How do you implement continuous development or continuous integration (CI) into your software delivery practices?
•Do you want to be able to define your software objectives and needs, then be able to quickly identify if the software delivers these promises per release cycle?

Join us in a TechTalk webinar as we answer these questions and discuss how the Serena and Silk product suites provide an integrated solution to software delivery.

Get the app availability info you need in one place. Micro Focus Silk Performance Manager runs synthetic monitors from distributed locations and provides availability in each of those locations in a unified web interface.

Plus, you can use Silk Performance Manager to leverage your testing assets for monitoring.

Check out our upcoming TechTalk webinar, which provides an in-depth demo:
•Get introduced to Silk Performance Manager
•Learn how it works
•See how customers use it to track application health and stability

Today's users are unforgiving when it comes to performance expectations, often refusing to reuse a service after hitting performance roadblocks. When slowdowns occur during the holiday season—when customer demands are at their peak—the business impact can be disastrous. Learn how to eliminate your mobile and web performance issues and ensure a quality user experience under the most stressful user demands.

Organizations are moving beyond simply building and testing products and into the mechanics required to keep applications production-ready at all times. One of the bigger challenges with this evolution is dealing with the sheer number of device and platform combinations teams are required to support.

Learn the steps necessary to create a mobile continuous delivery infrastructure that can not only ensure a smooth user experience, but also drive quality and performance to a diverse set of devices and platforms.

It used to be easy… but today… faster time to market, demanding users, complicated technologies and changing environments amount to constantly increasing pressure on application delivery practices and overcoming challenges in modern development life cycles.
