Fredrik Heintz at IDA invites you to the following Tech Talk:
Big Brains, Big Data, and Design to Test Cloud Services at Scale
Chris Mitchell, Microsoft
Time: Tuesday, 23rd September, 17:00 – 18:00
Location: C2, Hus C, Campus Valla, Linköping University
Abstract
Unit and functional tests alone aren’t enough to test large cloud
services at scale. Cloud services not only need monitoring, but they
also need continual testing. We will explore the use of big data and
deep technical understanding to verify a cloud service is working on
each and every request. This big puzzle is filled with lots of
ambiguity, very messy and heterogeneous data, and a dynamic and
changing datacenter and codebase. Obstacles include how to gather all
the data we need to make product decisions, respect privacy, and not
drown in useless data.
