Making Security a Priority: Critical Findings from the 9th Annual State of Supply Chain Security Report
No matter your role in the software development lifecycle, software security needs to be a critical concern. But with competing interests and restricted budgets, software security often gets pushed to the back burner.
Software supply chain security combines best practices from risk management and cybersecurity to help protect the software supply chain from potential vulnerabilities. The software supply chain is made up of everything and everyone that touches your code in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from application development to the CI/CD pipeline and deployment.
For 9 straight years, Sonatype’s State of Software Supply Chain Security report has analyzed the challenges associated with protecting your software supply chain from attack and has provided advice and guidance on improving it. During this on-demand conversation, Sonatype CTO Brian Fox and VP of Product Innovation Stephen Magill share key findings from the most recent State of Software Supply Chain Security.
Brian and Stephen talk with Coveros CEO Jeff Payne about:
Whether you’re in development, QA/testing, security, DevOps, or management, this conversation will provide valuable insights on how to best protect your software supply chain from attack.
Business Agility: Improving the Value You Deliver to Customers
Today, agile teams exist in organizations worldwide. But bureaucracy and the remnants of traditional project management offices (PMO) that attempt to standardize software development processes often hamstring their efforts. True end-to-end, business agility requires two critical elements: continued care and feeding of self-directed agile teams along with a systematic transformation of management processes.
Join enterprise agility expert and CEO of Lithespeed Sanjiv Augustine and Coveros CEO Jeff Payne as they explore the key steps to enhancing business agility through a focus on business value produced by agile teams.
They’ll discuss:
Agile leaders and teams will leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to break through organizational challenges to ensure agility and business value.
Building an Empowered Agile Delivery Team
Mass layoffs. Quiet quitting. Economic uncertainty. Today's agile and DevOps leaders face unprecedented challenges in keeping their teams engaged. Join industry experts and Coveros strategic partners as they discuss emerging strategies for engaging, retaining, and inspiring agile and DevOps teams in a changing environment.
Unlocking the Potential of AI in Software Testing
Jason Arbon, CEO, TestersAI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has entered the mainstream conversation with the emergence of deep learning algorithms for both text and image processing. In fact, the title of this conversation was written by AI! Utilities like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and others have amazed and even scared technologists around the globe. Many software testing leaders, managers, and engineers are wondering how best to leverage AI technology within software testing. Also, to better understand how much of the current AI craze is just hype.
Join Coveros CEO Jeff Payne and AI testing expert, entrepreneur, and author Jason Arbon as they dive deep into how testing professionals can unlock the potential of AI. Things we discuss during this webinar include:
Software testing leaders, test managers, and test professionals will leave this webinar with a better understanding of how AI can help improve software testing but also what its limits are.
An advanced and efficient software development lifecycle (SDLC) requires a series of critical attributes.

Leading Yourself First: Implementing Effective Agile Leadership
Spira Test, Spira Team, and Spira Plan are valuable tools in building effective DevSecOPs pipelines that help find defects before production and prevent continuous bugs. In this session from InflectraCon, Hugo Sanchez, a Coveros managing consultant and Spira expert, walks us through building a DevSecOps pipeline using Spria’s tools.
Sneak Peek: 2022 Google Cloud State of DevOps Report
Nathen Harvey, Developer Advocate, Google
Jeffery Payne, CEO, Coveros
The State of DevOps report by Google Cloud and the DORA research team is the largest and longest running research of its kind with inputs from over 32,000 professionals worldwide. It provides an independent view into the practices and capabilities that organizations, irrespective of their size, industry, and region, can employ to drive better performance. The focus of this year’s report is security.
In this exclusive conversation, Nathen Harvey, developer advocate at Google Cloud, will give Coveros CEO Jeff Payne a sneak peek of the information his team is gathering and answer key questions, including:
While many organizations report using “agile” development approaches, the truth is their processes and culture are anything but. In his more than 30 years of leading software transformations, Coveros CEO Jeff Payne has seen too many organizations use Scrum to build up (rather than break down) silos that lead to strained cultures, broken processes, and lower quality software. In this industry technical presentation, Jeff outlines common mistakes organizations make when implementing Scrum and how to overcome them.
When done correctly, test automation has the potential to improve the efficiency of the DevOps delivery pipeline. But, far too many organizations struggle to implement an automation strategy that works. In his decades of experience spearheading Agile and DevOps transformations, Coveros CEO Jeff Payne has heard just about every excuse for why test automation can’t work in DevOps. The truth is it can. You just need to know how to do it right.

On-Demand Webinar
Testing below the integration level has always been a best practice, but is often overlooked. Software testers have traditionally not had the skills or access to test below the user interface while developers have often not focused on testing their own code. The emergence of Agile and better design approaches have changed this, but there is still confusion as to what level developers and testers should focus on during Agile development efforts.
Join Jeffery Payne and testing expert David Bernstein from To Be Agile as they explore how to best test today’s applications and what types of testing are essential for software developers to focus on during iterations. Learn how to properly apply test-driven development (TDD) techniques to test at the unit and user story levels. Understand the critical role developer testing plays in an Agile process and how you can be a more effective tester. Whether you are a software developer, a software tester, an IT engineer, or in a software leadership role, you’ll leave with valuable insight into how effective developer testing is done today.
The role of testing in a modern software development process continues to be confusing for many. Is it automated? Is it manual? Is testing a role? A job? Do we test before we code? After we code? During coding? To some extent the answers to these questions depend on context, but there are emerging models and concepts that seek to define how testing happens in a continuous world.
Listen in as Jeffery Payne and testing expert Janet Gregory from DragonFire Inc. explore what testing means today. Learn about Holistic Testing, a model created by Janet to capture the role of testing throughout the entire lifecycle. Learn how such a model emphasizes that testing is performed WITH coding and how to operationalize that thinking. Understand the importance of testing being part of the entire software lifecycle. Whether you are a software developer, a software tester, an IT engineer, or in a software leadership role, you’ll leave with valuable insight into how effective testing is done today.
