DevRelCon 2022: "Is Product Led Growth (PLG) the “DevOps” of the DevRel World"Daniel Bryant
Over the last year, the Ambassador Labs team has doubled down on their adoption of Product Led Growth (PLG), a growth model where product usage drives customer acquisition, retention, and expansion. It’s been an interesting journey for the DevRel team, who have found themselves working more closely with both the sales and growth engineering teams.
In their quest to reduce the friction of product adoption, they’re thinking more and more about the end-to-end experiences, experimentation, instrumentation, data analysis, and handoffs — much like we saw in the software development world with the adoption of DevOps breaking down barriers between engineering and operations.
The Ambassador Labs team have learned more about the value of creating hypotheses and analyzing quantitative data, but have also been reminded that there is no substitute for qualitative data and engaging human-to-human. Join Daniel for a whistle-stop tour of PLG through the DevRel lens:
– Understand how moving to PLG can impact devrel teams and the work they do: for better and worse!
– Explore how DevRel tooling and community platforms are increasingly overlapping with PLG marketer tooling
– Learn how to structure your goals, common languages, and teams for successfully adopting PLG
We are moving towards the Agile and DevOps dominated world which brings Quality Engineering into the picture. Quality is theoretically optimized throughout the process as it becomes responsibility of everyone involved in the software development lifecycle. QE brings more speed in testing ensuring high-quality output.
The presentation describes approaches how to effectively check project health. Whether as an audit or as a proactive method to mitigate risk of project failure.

Product Development Demystified: Launching Faster with Confidence through Hum...Aggregage
Kandice Durden is here to discuss how leading organizations build, validate, and embed customer feedback into their development cycles. It’s time to take the guesswork out of product development by putting your customers at the center of your decisions!
This will be presented at the Optimizely's San Francisco User Group session on Oct 4th. As with any program, an A/B Testing Practice also follows a specific maturity curve. Since it is much more complex and spans across various domains and business units, it begins with a "Sell" phase focused on getting buy-in from various stakeholders but with a specific focus on Engineering & QA, followed by "Scale" phase with focus on building team, efficiency and program and then on to "Expand" phase focused on wider scope/complex tests and strengthen the platform, over to the "Deepen" phase where the focus is to ingrain testing within the company's DNA, i.e., within the backend/algorithms, cross pollinate learning and testing across various business units. The final phase is the "Sustain" phase where Algorithmic Test Management takes over Testing, and Testing is productized as a Value Add service for monetization and brand captial creation. We will walk the audience through our own journey so far along the maturity curve, the lessons learnt along the way, the challenges and what worked for us. The session will be rounded up with a working session with the audience on their own journey, lessons and advice for others.

Webinar - Design Thinking for Platform EngineeringOpenCredo
This document discusses approaching platform engineering with a design thinking mindset. It begins by outlining challenges with existing approaches, such as tools being difficult to use and responsibilities being blurred. It then defines platform engineering and describes design thinking, which integrates user needs, technology possibilities, and business requirements. The design thinking process involves empathizing with users to gain insights, defining opportunities, ideating solutions, prototyping ideas, and testing assumptions. The document argues that applying a human-centered design thinking approach helps focus on outcomes rather than just technology, surfaces conflicts, identifies new opportunities, and involves frequent testing with users. It concludes by recommending getting started with design thinking for platform engineering by identifying and prioritizing problems, engaging stakeholders

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.
The document discusses fundamentals of software testing including definitions of testing, why testing is necessary, seven testing principles, and the test process. It describes the test process as consisting of test planning, monitoring and control, analysis, design, implementation, execution, and completion. It also outlines the typical work products created during each phase of the test process.
Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia

21. PIVOTAL DECISION 6: EDUCATING STAKEHOLDERS ON FULL POTENTIAL AND LONG TERM PROGRAM VISION
Over past few years we progressed along maturity curve, but still ways to go. The most important critical element to up
level experimentation and continuously engage stakeholders is to show that lot more is possible and should be done…

22. OTHER BEST PRACTICES THAT WORKED FOR US
Knowing what we are testing & how much to expect, i.e., rank ordering between Visual(Messaging,
Prominence, Placement), Page Design (Flow, Form, CTA), Platform Performance and Content/Personalization.
Saying no: Keeping the pipeline focused on high impact tests, leveraging alternatives for low value tests
(Prototypes/usability studies/surveys) ensure that real Tests don’t suffer from low sample or contamination.
Sharing the wins: Credit where it is due- Engineers, Testers, Program Managers are as critical to the test success
as is analyses, product strategy or Design. Ensure they get the credit and make it a win-win for everyone.
Communication: Regular reporting of pipeline, impact and learning help with mindshare & engagement.
Planning it ahead: Intake criteria/process, prioritizing with strategic goals, pre analyses (impact/success
criteria/proxies/past learning), multi KPI tracking set up and decision protocols help improve effectiveness.

24. LESSONS LEARNT THE HARD WAY
Part time involvement: Not everyone on the Kanban team is fully dedicated to Testing->rotation affect
continuity. Build in buffers for managing external dependencies and get ‘right’ help when needed.
Not keeping key external facing team always in the loop: Lax Testing Governance & Lineage can severely
impact brand integrity, pose legal challenges or become tricky for external facing teams. Proactive
communication mandatory.
Platform means everything required for making it self-serve: Optimize onboarding exercise, simplify adoption,
make it easy to learn/engage/ask questions/take help, creation of an active community, selling the vision and up
level the conversation.
What’s works once and at one place, doesn’t work same every time and everywhere: Offsite QA necessary.
Soft target for Product issues: Anything goes wrong, must be testing. Only response was to actually jointly
address each blame and prove that it was indeed not the case.
25. STILL HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE CONCLUSIVELY
Resourcing & budgeting: As experimentation matures, the investment and support needs spike. Repeat selling
becomes tougher and tougher with increasingly complex message and large scale dependencies.
Moral hazard: Since Optimizely can do things quicker, it’s often used for bug fixes to workaround engineering
protocols. Also since Optimizely can ramp the winner variation to 100% right away, the incentive to make a
product change right away becomes lesser. It leads to multiple concurrent experiments.
External Factors: Regulatory requirements, privacy issues, non traditional GUIs and AI solutions
Globalization issues
Victim to vagaries of set up: Cannot and should not be an independent fiefdom, will depend on the overall set
up and has to work within the constraints.

27. IF GOD DECIDED TO CREATE AN A/B TEST PROGRAM, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE…
Every major product change has been iterated, quantified &
contextualized
A centralized but modular, & integrated Learn, Listen and
Test Framework covering all domains
A Single-Source-Of-Truth Testing Datamart within the
Organization’s Datalake for year end Program effectiveness
studies
Unified Workflow & Project Management with searchable
Knowledge repository & centralized Admin capabilities
Programmatic Testing with human intervention protocols
29. SUMMARY
As with any user journey management, our journey began with education/selling, followed by a POC/quick
wins to get tapped in a major initiative. The victories in major initiative helped us get engagement and
support to grow along the experimentation maturity curve.
Benefit from Experimentation is best realized when it’s anchored to Strategic goals, supported with insights
from Analytics and Research and what to test is driven by right stakeholders.
Growing along maturity curve gets more difficult progressively because of increasing needs (resourcing &
budgeting). Keep iterating on multiple selling approaches and get help when needed. But most importantly
remember it’s a “long haul”.
Organizations with a disciplined Experimentation culture within the DNA are poised to reap benefits of
higher accountability, focus on business performance and optimized Customer Experience Management
Testing Program was successful because of the right foundation of the team, ownership and success criteria.
Knowing what to test and what not to and why helped us delivering stronger Program RoI.
