    Navigating the Future of AI with Responsible Governance - DevOps Unbound EP46

    In this episode, hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by experts Martin Klaus (Tricentis), Tracy Ragan (DeployHub) and Hope Lynch as we dive into the critical topic of AI Governance—the guardrails that ensure artificial intelligence tools and systems remain safe, ethical, and aligned with human rights. We’ll explore the frameworks, rules, and standards shaping AI research, development, and application, emphasizing why these guardrails are essential for safeguarding fairness, transparency, and accountability. As global attention grows, we’ll also discuss the increasing regulation of AI, including the landmark EU AI Act, which aims to set comprehensive standards for AI deployment and risk management. Additionally, we’ll explore best practices for using AI ethically in software development, testing, and AI models—ensuring that AI is integrated responsibly within DevOps and software practices. Most importantly, we’ll examine how strong AI governance and ethical practices are key to building and maintaining customer trust in AI-powered products and services. Whether you’re an AI enthusiast, a tech leader, or simply curious about the ethical implications of AI, this episode will shed light on how we can build and sustain trust in this rapidly evolving field. Join us as we discuss the future of AI and the role governance plays in ensuring it benefits everyone.

    API First and API Testing - DevOps Unbound EP 45

    Akamai reports that 83% of traffic on their Akamai network is API hits, which is more than HTML traffic. Our discussion focuses on the API First strategy, which places API design and planning at the forefront of project development, enhancing collaboration, scalability and integration. Hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by experts Chris Colosimo (Tricentis), Tracy Ragan (DeployHub) and Chris Lindsey (Mend) to explore how this approach streamlines the development process and enriches end-user experiences. Testing APIs is challenging primarily due to their complex interactions with various software components and external systems, leading to unpredictable behaviors and edge cases. They also discuss how to ensure comprehensive coverage, including security, performance and error handling in a constantly evolving environment, which requires meticulous planning and robust testing frameworks. Lastly, the conversation shifts to the critical importance of API Security (APISec), examining the security measures necessary to protect APIs from emerging threats. Through authentication, authorization, encryption and threat detection techniques, our panelists will illuminate how to safeguard valuable data and systems in our interconnected digital ecosystem.

    DevOps Building Blocks Part 2: Power Up Your Automated Testing - DevOps Unbound EP 39

    Automation is critical to DevOps success. Test automation accelerates and simplifies the software development process, empowering DevOps teams to deliver high-quality, secure and reliable products to market faster without sacrificing crucial debugging and troubleshooting processes. Automated testing minimizes the chance of human error, removes redundancy and increases collaboration between DevOps and QA teams. On the other hand, over-automating can also be counterproductive. So how much test automation is too much? How do you find a balance? And what tools should you use? Join host Mitch Ashley and a panel of distinguished DevOps and QA leaders Tracy Ragan (DeployHub), Martin Klaus (Tricentis) and Raju Chavan (T-mobile) to discuss: - How automated testing empowers DevOps teams - How to incorporate automated and continuous testing into your DevOps workflow - How to scale automated testing - How to choose the right tools to make test automation smooth and easy
