Course Overview

Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in cross-platform compatibility testing whether or not anyone says so. The documentation for this strand of technology and systems delivery is accurate only until the next release. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the technology and systems delivery discipline rather than to abstract argument. The version of cross-platform compatibility testing described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants who influence this strand of technology and systems delivery without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the wider technology and systems delivery agenda and revise it on evidence. The course sets out a working method for cross-platform compatibility testing that participants can apply the week they return. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the practice within technology and systems delivery is rarely technical. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of technology and systems delivery that each participant writes for their own organisation.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Apply access control and least privilege throughout cross-platform compatibility testing.

03

Measure delivery and reliability of cross-platform compatibility testing with indicators teams trust.

04

Handle the trade-offs in cross-platform compatibility testing between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.

05

Plan capacity for cross-platform compatibility testing against measured growth rather than optimism.

06

03

Cross-platform compatibility testing: backup, recovery and continuity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Documenting cross-platform compatibility testing so someone else can operate it

  • Restore a backup of cross-platform compatibility testing in a test environment and time it.
  • State the availability and recovery objectives for cross-platform compatibility testing as numbers.
  • Confirm every release of cross-platform compatibility testing can be rolled back within a defined time.
  • Confirm the support model and escalation path for cross-platform compatibility testing.

Session 2Retiring the legacy part of cross-platform compatibility testing

  • Review logging on cross-platform compatibility testing for coverage and retention.
  • Confirm that reporting on cross-platform compatibility testing reaches the people who can act.
  • Plan the decommissioning of the legacy component cross-platform compatibility testing replaces.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in cross-platform compatibility testing.
04

Cross-platform compatibility testing: incident response and severity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The paperwork for cross-platform compatibility testing that is actually needed

  • Define the trigger that would require cross-platform compatibility testing to be redesigned.
  • Estimate the resource cross-platform compatibility testing requires to run as designed.
  • Configure alerting on cross-platform compatibility testing that reflects what users experience.
  • Set delivery and reliability indicators for cross-platform compatibility testing the team trusts.

Session 2Making releases of cross-platform compatibility testing routine instead of risky

  • Identify where judgement in cross-platform compatibility testing is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Test the failover for cross-platform compatibility testing rather than assuming it works.
  • Identify single points of dependency in cross-platform compatibility testing and reduce them.
  • Rehearse the briefing on cross-platform compatibility testing that would follow an incident.
