Speakers:
Sivakumar Kalyanaraman, IT Architect, Cognizant

QA teams today are required to validate beyond functional and nonfunctional aspects of systems developed and to engineer them to deliver a user experience that exceeds expectations. These systems under test need to handle exceptional situations to prove that they can address business demands. One way to achieve this is to reengineer performance disruptions so that systems can achieve higher levels of scalability and performance. This web seminar will help you experience "newer realities" of quality and explore avenues to enable business assurance through engineering. You'll learn proven ways to redefine aspects of system performance including but not limited to capacity, availability, security, scalability, performance, and reliability; and to successfully adopt virtualization techniques and cloud models.
