Sogeti Ireland

I've just finished viewing another Sogeti Webinar, "Applying TPI®NEXT to your situation".

Sogeti is a commercial business and I have links to them:

• I'm on the softtest committee who are sponsored by Sogeti
  
• Recently, I got them in-house to deliver "Advanced Test Techniques"
  

They're not concrete links – I don't benefit in any way financially from them (although I'll never say no to a free book). But they are links nonetheless.

So having "come clean" with above links, I want to take this opportunity to thank Sogeti.

They are doing an incredible job of educating the test community in Ireland with their free webinars!

Every time I attend a webinar, I learn something, my pre-existing opinions may be challenged, or I look at something in a new way that opens up exciting ideas and opportunities to build on.

Each webinar is recorded so if I have a conflict and am unable to watch "live", I can catch up later.

If you're not viewing these webinars, then you are missing out!

SoftTest Webinar: Testing a SaaS Platform on an Agile World

SoftTest free webinar Wednesday, April 21, 2010 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM BST

Testing a SaaS (Software as a Service) Platform on an Agile World

SaaS (Software as a Service) products and applications are becoming more common in today’s development Industry, especially as Cloud Computing becomes a household name pushed forward by software players such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc.

In contrast to regular Web-Based systems, SaaS applications require a different approach to testing than what we are used to from other more traditional projects. In some cases testing a SaaS system is simpler than testing a regular Web-based platforms, but in many others it is a lot more challenging and demanding. It’s made even more interesting by the fact that many of the teams developing SaaS Applications are based Agile Development Methodologies.

In this webinar, Joel Montvelisky will provide an overview of the main areas to cover when testing a SaaS Application or Platform based on his own experience at PractiTest (a SaaS QA Management Platform developed by his company). He will give some insights into the type of approaches and ideas that work best, and will also talk about some of the tools and methodologies his team currently uses while testing PractiTest.
