Mobile UI testing at scale – Martin Simecek (Technical Evangelist, Microsoft)

Mobile app testing is not an easy task, especially when talking about user interface. Xamarin Test Cloud provides developers with thousands of physical devices on which they can run their UI tests and evaluate results, comparing different screen sizes, operating system versions etc. This talk will show you how to use Xamarin Test Cloud and how Microsoft integrates it to its complete DevOps pipeline – from code, through compilation and testing to deployment.

Hack the Night – Lukas Holcik (Sr. Developer, SolarWinds)

Team collaboration is important but sometimes hard to do. Especially when your team is distributed around the world. What if we give our engineers a platform to solve it? What could be created if you spend a night in the office? Lukas will present PeopShow – his team’s winning project from a recent company hackaton.

Innovation and the Evolution of Cyber Attacks – Steven Colquitt (Director of Software Engineering, SolarWinds)

In this session, Steve Colquitt will talk about the evolution of malware and common threats that target typical business networks and systems. He’ll examine some of the high-profile hacking incidents in recent years and talk about the new security challenges related to IoT, where more connected devices mean more attack vectors.
