Summary

An agile DevOps strategy cannot succeed if it leaves testing to be done too late in the process and requires the tests to be executed manually. Continuous and automated testing as part of CI/CD pipeline and immediate feedback as an outcome is key to ensure quality and accelerated release cycle. With automation expected at various stages and with multiple technologies involved, it’s important to have the right automation framework in place to enable deep integration for your hybrid cloud applications. 

Join the panel of experts to learn how to:

  • Shift left your testing without environment dependency using IBM Z Virtual Test Platform® (ZVTP)
  • Enable automation and deep integration for your z/OS powered hybrid cloud applications powered by the open-source test automation framework, Galasa
