Regular Conference Session
Presentation 1: The Foundation for Process Improvement
Presentation 2: A Primer on Software Security - an Adjunct of Software Quality
Co-Presented by David Oddis and Sean Poris - College Board
Presentation 1 Session Abstract: Are you getting the most from your post deployment retrospectives? Do you have a process in place to analyze defects, identify the defect categories and common pitfalls and correlate the results to recommended corrective actions? Can you meaningfully and succinctly articulate your findings to senior management with data-driven, evidence-based actionable conclusions? Forced to get more done with less, organizations are increasingly finding themselves in need of an effective defect analysis process. Find out how to use a systematic defect analysis process to optimize your efforts and enable higher quality software development through an approach that promotes collaboration between the development and QA teams. Join David as he facilitates an open conversation and provides guidance and tips via a real world walk through of the strategy, analysis process, and recommendations from an in-depth cross-team defect analysis.
Presentation 2 Session Abstract:
Plain and simple, you cannot have quality software that is insecure. The question is, with tight budgets and time lines, how can you bring software security to the forefront and raise the assurance levels of your software. The answer is, with an integrated software security program. Join Sean to discuss crucial quality touch points in the software development lifecycle that will lower risk and raise the security posture of your software. On an enterprise level, we will discuss real world examples of how software security teams partner with quality assurance teams to maximize successful outcomes, via approaches that involve people, process, and technology.
