Accessibility is a large topic and one that often gets a variety of approaches to deal with. Often it is seen as having to focus on a large checklist (the WCAG standard) and make sure that everything complies. While this is a great goal and focus, often it is overwhelming and frustrating, putting people in the unfortunate role of having to read and understand an entire process before they feel they can be effective. It does not have to be this way.

Key Takeaways:

My goal is to help condense this a little and give some key areas to focus on and be effective in identifying Accessibility issues quickly and helping testers become effective advocates.

We will look at ways to:

• find issues

• advocate for them

• help make strides to greater understanding and focus moving forward.

Organizations and leaders are often supportive of DevOps, but they don’t always understand what DevOps is and what it will change. It isn’t a one-size-fits-all issue; different environments need different benefits from a DevOps transformation. Join Gene Gotimer as he explains the most important parts of understanding DevOps. We'll discuss how to determine what parts of DevOps your organization needs to concentrate on first and how you should measure improvement. This session boils DevOps down to its most basic parts and makes sure you have a foundation for understanding how to make it work for your situation and organization.

Key Takeaways:

• DevOps is a culture. Embrace the Three Ways.

• The Four Key Metrics are measures of DevOps maturity, not goals.

• Use value stream analysis to understand your process and find your biggest impediments.

It’s true that an automation framework is like a puzzle piece that brings a testing practice together, an engine that makes a car zoom, and a conveyor that transforms system analysts into automated testers. But do some frameworks do this better than others and what role does it play in DevSecOps? Is it possible that your automation engineers are spending a tremendous amount of time maintaining legacy solutions? Even more important, can regaining that time increase your return on investment? To truly understand the possibilities, we need to recognize that automated testing, like any technology, is an evolving practice.

Key Takeaways:

• What role does an automation framework play in DevSecOps?

• How can you best implement to streamline processes and shorten development time?

• How can a stronger testing plan improve security?
