The Changing Landscape by Schalk Cronje – October 23rd 2018 – an IITPSA SIGiST Event
October 23, 2018 @ 17:30 - 19:30
Abstract
In the last three years the technology landscape has changed so much that we must rethink the way software is tested. Mobile is no longer a challenge, but now we have challenges of DLT, RPA & AI. What are the testing skills the modern professional require and what should be looked at to enhance current individual skill sets?
Speaker
Schalk Cronjé‘s experience in the software industry spans three decades and he has spoken and taught on various software delivery techniques in Europe, USA, India and South Africa.
He has been an early adopter of test-driven design and development at all levels of testing and has applied TDD in many programming languages and on various platforms. One specific library he can recall is still in daily usage and is used in scanning millions of emails world-wide, yet the customer defect rate is less than one per year, all which can be attributed to TDD. He has been responsible for many a complex product roll-outs where continuous integration and continuous deployment have been the key. He does not consider TDD & DevOps to be a useful technique, but the absolute key to competitive and effective delivery in this age of globalization.
He is the creator of many open-source projects and contributor to several other projects. He serves on the steering committee of the Agile Testing Alliance and is a board member of DevOps++ Alliance in Europe. He holds two engineering degrees and an MBA in technology management. He lives and works from the small Principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees mountains.
