About the talks

End-to-End test architectures, a dead End road

With the rise of Distributed Architecture, independent DevOps teams and automated CI/CD the End-to-End test environments needs to be reconsidered. They become flaky, shaky, untrustworthy and hard to maintain.

Why are these environments, where all teams deploy their production like service, a dead End road and what are the alternatives?

Why are people still using these so-called 'production-like' test environments and how can we achieve the same level of software quality without them.

What gaps are solved with these expensive environments and how can the use of these systems be reduced.

=========================
Live hacking: Breaking into your Java web app

In this session, we will demonstrate how common vulnerabilities in the Java eco-system are exploited on a daily base by live hacking real-world application libraries. All the examples used are commonly known exploits, some more famous than others, such as Apache Struts and Spring break remote code execution vulnerabilities. By exploiting them and showing you how you can be attacked, before showing you how to protect yourself, you will have a better understanding of why and how security focus and DevSecOps is essential for every developer.
