The Chief Quality Officers Network
September 27th 2022 at the Harvard Club of Boston
12.00 noon to 3.30 pm (including lunch)
The Future of Software Test Automation
Increasing velocity with AI and machine learning
QA Financial's Chief Quality Officers Network will meet on September 27th at the Harvard Club of Boston for a lunchtime presentation and discussion meeting.
QA Financial is producing this event in partnership with Qualitest and Sauce Labs.
There is no charge for attending this meeting - simply complete your registration form by clicking on the "Registration" tab above.
While the CQO Network is free to attend, because of the relatively small size of these meetings (around 15-20 guests) invitations are restricted to software development executives working at recognised financial firms.
The meeting will offer some practical new ideas on risk-based testing and the business case for new technologies.
And we hope you will also enjoy discussing those ideas with new contacts working at leading financial firms in the Boston area, in a relaxed and un-crowded venue.
The objective of software development and quality management is no longer to "automate everything". That is now seen as an inefficient approach to automation and shifting left, especially at large financial firms, where hundreds of apps may be in production at any time.
The approach has to be risk-based, with autonomous decisions - based on the latest AI and machine learning technologies - embedded in your processes.
We will discuss exactly how autonomous, "zero touch" and "self healing" automation works in practice, with presentations from our technology partners Qualitest and Sauce Labs, and round-table discussion involving all delegates. We will also be featuring case studies presented by experts from financial firms.
About the CQO Network
QA Financial's CQO Network is designed to recognise the growing role of heads of quality assurance and engineering in enterprise digital risk management at banks and other financial firms.
As these firms transition to enterprise management of software delivery - incorporating the opportunities of Cloud, DevOps and machine learning technologies - the CQO is increasingly charged with delivering the business case for change.
The CQO Network is therefore designed as a high-level forum that connects the details of digital transformation with the "big picture" of technology and regulatory change, and indeed how financial firms are managed in the new digital era.
