Topic:Agile All The Way Down and Update On the Oracle/Sun Merger
Being agile means being agile all the way through the development process, including deployment and production. Every team should have a full complement of profiling, testing and load generation tools, but we all know that even with the most rigorous pre-deployment QA, issues will sneak through. To catch these, all serious apps use production monitoring of one kind or another. The ah-ha moment comes when we realize that we can use that same production monitoring to increase our agility: we can shorten the pre-production testing cycles and push new iterations into production with minimal testing. I'll talk about how we've done this, and how our customers have done this: we've become more agile, we test less, and we've reduced our risks. I have real life examples/war stories to share and I hope to enthuse you to become "agile all the way down". - Presentation by Bjorn Freeman-Benson
On March 16th from 8 AM to 1:30 PM, Oracle will be holding a seminar about its merger with Sun and how this will affect their product lines.
