How do you get good test data that protects sensitive information without breaking the bank? Automated software testing can be expensive, especially for complex environments that interact with numerous APIs and downstream endpoints.  

Traditional test data management (TDM) can’t provide a low-cost method for generating data models and simulated datasets. By creating reusable virtual datasets for testing dependencies, you can reduce the cost of test automation and gain more control over your test data and environments. 

In this session, you’ll learn: 
• Why traditional test data management approaches are expensive. 
• Ways to create virtual test data with practical examples. 
• When and how to apply test data techniques to minimize cost and maximize reusability.

Control Test Automation Costs With Virtual Test Data

As a Java software developer, you probably prefer to write new code to create features or enhancements instead of tweaking legacy code. But legacy applications are often the foundation for new functionality. So how do you make sure your additions to the legacy code don’t break the original code base? 

You need to ensure the legacy app functionality can be verified after you submit changes to the branch. The best way to do that is to capture its current behavior – before changes are made – with a tool that automatically creates meaningful unit tests. This will give you confidence that the overall application still satisfies the operating requirements while expanding its capabilities. 

See a demo to learn how you can use AI-enhanced unit testing to:
 • Automatically create good quality unit tests for legacy and modified code. 
 • Ensure modified code meets coverage targets. 
 • Enable you to spend more time on feature development.

Don’t Break the Code! Verify Coverage for Legacy Code Updates

With the massive proliferation of devices on the Internet of things (IoT), security is a primary concern across nearly every vertical market segment. From a technical perspective, security and risk management for the IoT starts at the top of the software development life cycle. Nevertheless, a culture of cybersecurity within the organization is just as crucial and needs to be fostered much like it has been for the development of safety-critical systems.  

In this presentation, we’ll discuss the importance of addressing security for your IoT device starting from the requirements management phase and how to perform a threat risk assessment. You'll learn when to start building and ensuring security where it’s the easiest and least expensive to address in the SDLC. We'll also share how to continue through to the verification and validation phases to detect security vulnerabilities.   

Join us to discover how application security testing technologies assist developers to make IoT devices more secure, safe, and reliable. 

Learn how to:  
• Choose and apply secure coding standards quickly and cost effectively.  
• Develop secure code and meet cost and schedule demands. 
• Thoroughly test code using automated tools. 
• Prove that software security practices are being followed throughout the SDLC.

IoT Cybersecurity & Risk Management in the SDLC

It’s a common situation: your customers want new features, which means adding new code to a legacy application. But making changes may impact the software’s functionality if there’s no process in place to protect the existing code and verify the modifications. 

You need to ensure your legacy code functionality can be verified after it’s modified. The best way to do that is to capture its current behavior – before changes are made – with a tool that can automatically create meaningful unit tests that provide high code coverage. With this foundation, you can have confidence that the application still satisfies the operating requirements while expanding its capabilities. 

Learn how AI-enhanced unit testing can: 
• Easily create good quality unit tests for legacy and modified code. 
• Ensure reliability by meeting coverage targets. 
• Enable your team to work productively and develop better code.

Protect Your Legacy Code When Changes Are Needed

Industrial software systems that run manufacturing robots, electrical elevators, and even your street traffic lights have become very complex.
