Tämä tuo jatkuvaa osaamisen kasvattamisen tarvetta kehittävien tiimien harteille. DevOps pohjaa vahvasti shift left-mentaliteettiin jossa viedään iso osa tekemistä ja osaamisen tarpeesta kehittävien tiimien vastuille, joista tietoturva on yksi iso kokonaisuus. Kuka siis vastaa tulevaisuudessa tietoturvasta? Työ jää kehittävien tiimien tehtäväksi joista yhtenä isona tekijänä ovat testaajat. Koska tuotteiden vienti tuotantoon kiihtyy vanhasta kerran puolessa vuodessa viennistä aina jopa useaan kertaan päivässä vientiin, tulee siis kaikki aina tietoturvasta lähtien varmistaa devaajien ja testaajien toimesta. Tietoturvatestaaminen tulee olemaan yksi vaativa osa testaajan tulevaisuuden roolia. Miten testaajat tulevat pärjäämään uusien tarvittavien kyvykkyyksien kanssa? |  |

Auditorium 14.50 Testauksen siirtäminen vasemmalle - parempaa laatua ohjelmistokehitykseen alusta asti. Testausvaihe on laajalti tunnistettu pullonkaulaksi ohjelmistokehityksessä ja ohjelmistojen julkaisuprosesseissa. Kun testausta siirretään vasemmalle, se parantaa ohjelmistokehityksen laatua, nopeutta ja tuottavuutta. Toisaalta taas, kun testausta siirretään oikealle, se parantaa liiketoimintaprosessien varmuutta ja suorituskykyä erilaisissa tietojärjestelmissä. Testauksessa kaikki lähtee kuitenkin liikkeelle informaatiosta. Joko tunnistetusta jo olemassa olevasta informaatiosta tai sen tiedostamisesta, että jotain tietoa tarvitaan testauksen kehittämiseksi. Miten tunnistaa olennainen informaatio, tulkita sitä oikein ja hyödyntää sitä testauksessa ja ohjelmistokehityksessä parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla? |  |
