Managing your CI/CD Pipeline: DevOps and Testing Best Practices

In the world of DevOps and Continuous Delivery there are more and more changes to parameters and settings than ever before, and they happen more often and faster than ever before. Join us for our latest meetup and hear from the experts to learn best practices for open source testing and managing your CI/CD pipeline.

Andrey Pokhilko, JMeter expert and creator of the Taurus project will share his process behind creating Taurus, an open source framework for continuous testing which helps hiding the complexities of running performance tests. Andrey will demonstrate the value that Taurus bring to performance and functional testing and to test automation, and how it both simplifies and extends the capabilities of Apache JMeter, without the need to actually master JMeter.

Benny Van de Sompele, co-founder and CTO of SWEAGLE, will lead an interactive session with best practices and hands-on examples on how you can use an agnostic configuration data repository at the heart of your DevOps automation. He’ll cover how to handle all those different kinds of configuration data and their changes and how to make your DevOps automation scripts and playbooks get access to machine readable, consumable and “error free” configuration data “at runtime”.
