The Cloud forecast- Is it Rainy, humid or drought-like for Software Testers ?
"Cloud" has been a buzzword for a while now and the last couple of years have seen the technology around Cloud evolve and mature. The adoption of Cloud and its usage in helping simplify Software testing has increased over the years. The various elements of Cloud like Software-as-a-Service to really Anything-as-a-Service have increased the potential of Cloud being used more diversely to solve some testing specific problems and create more opportunity areas.
This presentation will deliver a pragmatic perspective of the situations where cloud has worked beautifully for Software testing and also where it’s adoption or attempt to adoption have seen challenges. It will cover some fundamental aspects of cloud, delve into core concepts and more prominently cover some practical illustrations of Cloud, technology, its impact on Software testing and more.

Title: Demystifying Software Globalization
“Do you know that Windows 7 is localized into 90+ languages, Windows 8 expected to be in around 105, Apple iOS supports 34, Android 57 ?”
 With the key platform companies venturing into supporting the languages of even the little known geographies around the world, it is only evident that the need of World ready Software is on the rise and will continue to ascend in the time to come. The field of Software development that ensures the Software is World ready is called as Software Globalization Engineering. This field has seen a humungous drift from “Japanization” (when the products were redesigned to support Japanese language) to "Simship" (meaning simultaneously shipping the supported languages at the same time)  in the past decade or so. Software Globalization has grown from generalized field to a more specialized one over the years with the advent of concepts such as Unicode, Single Base Binary, Multilingual User Interface and much more.
While Software Globalization is still finding its feet as a separate discipline in many organizations, more mature organizations have embraced it and have reaped benefits successfully over the years. This session will demystify Software Globalization Engineering and will cover an introduction to several concepts related to this exciting field.
