Session at ADC 2011 - Testing and build automation with Windows Azure

Monday, February 14, 2011 by Rainer Stropek

Today I will present about testing and build automation with the Windows Azure platform at the Advanced Developer Conference in Munich. Here is the abstract of my session in German and English:

Wenn man Marktforschungsunternehmen glaubt, wird der Trend in der IT in den nächsten Jahren Cloud Computing sein. Microsoft bietet mit der Windows Azure Plattform eine Cloud-Umgebung, die sich ideal für Anwendungen auf der Technologie des Konzerns aus Redmond eignet. In dieser Session stellt Rainer Stropek dar, welche neuen Herausforderungen hinsichtlich Testen bei Einbeziehung von Cloud Computing, insbesondere Windows Azure, zu meistern sind. Er zeigt, welche Möglichkeiten zur Testautomatisierung bereit stehen und diskutiert auch die kaufmännischen Aspekte, die sich aus dem Pay-per-use Modell von Cloud Computing für Test- und Entwicklungsumgebungen ergeben.

According to market research organizations like Gartner or IDC cloud computing will be a big trend over the next years. With the Windows Azure Platform Microsoft offers a cloud computing environment that is perfectly suited for applications that are based on technologies like .NET or SQL Server. In this session Rainer Stropek discusses how using the cloud – especially Windows Azure – changes software testing. He shows possibilities for test automation and also covers pricing aspects with regards to test and development environments.

The credits about the build automation part of the session goes to Phil Aumayr, a colleague of mine at software architects.
