Instrumenting the Network for Successful AIOps
AIOps platforms empower IT teams to quickly find the root issues that originate in the network and disrupt running applications. AI/ML algorithms need access to high quality network data to determine what went wrong and where. Network visibility starts from TAPs around network equipment, and teams can add application instrumentation and logs as data sources for complete insights.

Three Key Success Factors for Improving Test Automation Outcomes
Test automation is crucial in the DevOps world and vitally important even if not taking a DevOps approach, and good test automation requires careful thought and design from the architecture onward. Tests need to be fully automated, and that automation needs to be stable; no test cases should fail for reasons other than issues in the system(s) under test.

Velocity and Better Metrics: Q&A with Doc Norton
Velocity is not good for predictions or diagnostics, argued Doc Norton at Experience Agile 2019. It's a lagging indicator of a complex system which is too volatile to know what our future performance will be; it isn’t stable enough to be used reliably. We can use Monte Carlo simulation for forecasting, and cumulative flow diagrams to track work, see changes in scope, and spot bottlenecks.

Unlocking Continuous Testing: The Four Best Practices Necessary for Success
While the majority of organizations have enthusiastically embraced agile planning and development, most still find themselves unable to effectively implement continuous testing throughout the software development lifecycle. There are four best practices to help overcome this: focus on test quality, keep your tests short and atomic, test across multiple platforms, and leverage parallelization.

The Pipeline Driven Organization - Enabling True Continuous Delivery
Many organizations try to implement continuous integration or continuous delivery, but they get stuck in the process; too many human bottlenecks standing between the pipelines. By teaching pipelines to make better decisions and offloading human judgements onto the pipelines we can have the pipelines make decisions all the way up to production to create a true continuous delivery mechanism.
