Most companies are on a modernization journey which involves activities around refactoring code of existing applications. You are expected to release more high-quality code, in less time, for your business to stay competitive. The Strangler Pattern is a design pattern used to gradually refactor aprogram without requiring a complete overhaul all at once. However, to do this you need to guarantee that the deployment of each iteration will not affect or disrupt day to day business. A solid testing strategy will help guarantee this.
Learning Objectives: • What the strangler pattern is and how to apply it • Understand why establishing a testing baseline is non-negotiable • How introduction of shift-left testing increases quality • How to implement and automate successful testing strategies
This session reviews all the guiding principles of software testing along with practical experience from the IBM I specific applications and infrastructure.
