Today we spent the day reviewing every single demo and all the content we're going to share in the over 50 DevOps sessions at CA World 2015. From what I can tell, it's going to be completely awesome! My favorite part of the conference is hearing your feedback on what we've built. With the launch of DevTest 9.0 and 12 of our customers on stage to talk about how our products are helping with their DevOps transformation, I couldn't be more pleased with what we're headed into next week.
If you haven't already checked it out, the CA World 15 mobile app is available to use now. Make sure you connect with our team on the app!
Also, VOTE for the "Crowdsourced Session" that you'd want to see. Our presenters are already rallying for votes. Thomas_Stolt, walre04, Anand_AK_Kameswaran
Let me introduce you to a few more folks that will be at CA World this year...
Ian A. Kelly - I'm a Senior Director of Product Management and am looking forward to the full slate of sessions and the opportunity to talk 1:1 with customers at CA World 15. You can find me in the DevOps Theater 3 space and at the Service Virtualization for Developers Booth.
My Session Recommendation: Pre-CA World Training sessions are always great – gives the chance to look under the covers and discuss issues with your peers
Other Tips: Always love to meet with smart folks and share approaches to problems, CA World is a great forum for these type of discussions. Ask me about our latest Open Source Developer tool that will be released at CA World.
Heather Peyton - I'm the Principal Product Marketing Manager for CA Test Data Management and CA Test Case Optimizer. These are newly acquired products from GridTools. I'm very much looking forward to meeting peers, clients and partners and hearing feedback on the new solutions being released. I'll be at the Continuous Delivery - Theater 4 information booth in the DevOps area.
My Session Recommendation: DO3T06S - Vision and Roadmap: The CA Roadmap for Service Virtualization and the Dev and Test Portfolio with Chris_Kraus
Koustubh Warty - I'm a Principal Engineering Services Architect on the DevTest SWAT team. I'm looking forward to evangelizing our DevTest product as well as talking and listening to customer requirements. Also excited to talk to you about the new SV on Demand offering in addition to how DevTest supports Docker! I’ll be in the Theater 3 on the SV Use Cases booth. Please stop by and look at the common use cases that SV solves and get a head start on your service virtualization journey.
My Session Recommendation: Pre-Con Education: CA Service Virtualization 9.0—What's the Latest and Greatest with Stefana_Muller
Other Tips: I’ll be more than happy to assist you with your questions and am excited to meet with a lot of people in person that I have interacted with via emails and on the phone.
Chris Rowett - I am the Vice President of Technical Sales for Application Delivery and am based in the UK. I can't wait to hear our customers talk on the innovation they have driven and the related business impacts created using CA solutions. I'll spend most of my time during the conference in the Executive Center but will stop by the booth often to check out the new DevTest 9.0 release.
My Session Recommendation: The customer presentations from ING, Euroclear, Akbank and others are the ones to watch.
Other Tips: Looking at the agenda there’s never been a stronger CA World, especially for anyone on a transformation journey to DevOps / Agile / Continuous Delivery. The amount of relevant Case Studies, Tech Talks, Hand-on Labs and Panels is outstanding. The biggest challenge is going to be choosing what to miss, rather than what to go to.
Rob Karlin - I’m a Senior Principal Consultant with our DevOps presales team in the Chicago area. CA World is where I can hear how our customers are innovating using our DevTest platform and sharing new product capabilities that ignite SDLC transformation, generate growth and manage development and testing cost. You can find me at the Smart Bar, where I will be available to discuss capabilities around CA Application Test and CA Service Virtualization.
My Session Recommendation: I have two - Pre-Con Education: How to Test the New Fashioned Way and Tech Talk: Ready, Set, Shop—Three Ways to Performance Test Your Applications Before Your Next Big Shopping Wave
