Content:

Our SRE and Testing Workshop explores the key elements of Site Reliability Engineering, combined with a hands-on approach to testing and failure analysis. Via a blend of theory and exercises, this course covers both the basics and advanced techniques in the following areas:

- Introduction to Site Reliability Engineering
- Determining Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
- Developing effective testing strategies, from unit to end-to-end tests
- Analyzing and preventing deployment failures
- Implementing a 'shift left' approach to enhance reliability early in the development process
- Practice-based case studies and group exercises to reinforce learning
- Creating and managing a collaborative testing culture within the team

The goal is to equip participants with the necessary tools and techniques to make their applications and systems more reliable and their development processes more efficient.

Disclaimer: The actual course content may vary from the above, depending on the trainer, implementation, duration and constellation of participants.

Whether we call it training, course, workshop or seminar, we want to pick up participants at their point and equip them with the necessary practical knowledge so that they can apply the technology directly after the training and deepen it independently.

Goal:

The aim of this workshop is to train participants in effectively applying Site Reliability Engineering and testing principles. This includes implementing strategic tests, understanding and tracking key SLA-relevant metrics, and fostering a positive, collaboration-oriented testing culture within their teams. Upon completion, you'll be able to significantly enhance the reliability and efficiency of your projects.

Form:

The course is well structured and consists of theoretical explanations and practical exercises. You will be accompanied by an experienced trainer who can answer questions related to the topics of the course.

Target Audience:

This workshop is targeted at software developers, QA engineers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals who wish to expand their knowledge in the areas of Site Reliability Engineering and software testing, and establish a more effective, reliable, and collaborative workflow within their teams.

Requirements:

Participants should be familiar with the basics of software development and have a foundational knowledge in at least one programming or scripting language. Experience in applying testing tools and methodologies would be beneficial but is not mandatory.

Preparation:

Every participant will receive a questionnaire and a preparation checklist after registration. We provide a comprehensive laboratory environment for each participant, so that all participants can directly implement their own experiments and even complex scenarios.
