Michael Bolton's Rapid Software Testing Masterclass

13-09-2010, 9am - 5.30

Xilinx, Citywest Business Park, Dublin, Ireland

Rapid Software Testing is a three-day, hands-on class that teaches testing as a sophisticated thinking art. The philosophy presented in this class is not like traditional approaches to testing, which ignore the thinking part of testing and instead advocate never-ending paperwork. Products have become too complex for that, time is too

short, and testers are too expensive. Rapid testing uses a cyclic approach and heuristic methods to constantly re-optimize testing to fit the needs of your clients. The Rapid approach isn't just testing with a speed or sense of urgency; it's mission-focused testing that eliminates unnecessary work, assures that everything necessary gets done, and constantly asks what testing can do to speed the project as a whole. This class presents an approach to testing that begins with developing personal skills and extends to the ultimate mission of software testing: lighting the way of the project by evaluating the product. Michael Bolton is an established and recognised leading-edge expert in the area of Software Testing.

Price: €770 for skillnet members

The Simple Switch to Cloud Computing

16-09-2010, 5.00pm - 6.30pm

Google HQ , Dublin, Ireland

One of the many benefits of Cloud computing is lower costs. Not only can customers forgo licensing for expensive client software, but browser-based applications also require much less administrative overhead than traditional software . You don’t need to deploy patches or upgrades for web-based applications, and since improvements roll out gradually and continuously instead of in large disruptive batches every several years, businesses save on upgrade costs. We invite you to join us at Google's European HQ in Barrow Street, Dublin 4, when we will explore the benefits of Cloud Computing for your Business and show you how fast and simple it is to switch. Companies speaking at this event include Google, 3 , Baker Security & Networks, Yendo and ECDL. There will be a drinks reception after the event where members can network over a glass of wine. This is a free event but booking is essential.

Price: free - booking required
