AGENDA Download Agenda TUESDAY - APRIL 4 08:00 am ARRIVAL, BREAKFAST AND NETWORKING 08:55 am WELCOME ADDRESS Matthew Crabbe, CEO and Founder – QA Media 09:05 am INSPIRING CHANGE, ENFORCING NEW POLICY: END-TO-END SOFTWARE QUALITY MANAGEMENT AT NORTHERN TRUST Speaker: Basivi Junna, Principal Solutions Architect, Northern Trust As Northern Trust has moved its on-prem software development toolchain to the Cloud, it has created a new system for DevOps platform management and adopted new metrics and for software quality benchmarking. It is doing this with a standardized suite of cloud-based tools, processes and reusable CI/CD pipelines for application, database, and infrastructure changes. Basivi will explain how one of the world's largest banking and asset management organizations has performed across its many internal development teams and how new initiatives to free up those teams - zero touch deployments, instant change authorization, shift left testing, and SCA, SAST & DAST scanning - have been balanced with data-driven automated policy checks against changes that enforce best practices across the enterprise. He will also be discussing how Northern Trust worked with its external vendor partners to put into practice new standards for non-functional requirements, quality assurance, code coverage and validation of DevOps, and how improved observability of software delivery feeds into compliance and auditing at Northern Trust. 09:40 am WHY ENTERPRISE TESTING FAILS: AND HOW AI-TEST AUTOMATION CAN HELP: A DISCUSSION WITH TEMPUS TECHNOLOGIES Speakers: • Kyle Jurick, VP of Product and Development, Tempus Technologies • Autumn Ciliberto, Enterprise Account Executive, Keysight Technologies Tempus Technologies, the leading payments gateway provider, was acquired by PNC Bank in 2021 with the aim of expanding the treasury management platform PNC offers its corporate clients. In this session you'll hear from both Tempus and from Keysight Technologies, whose Eggplant test automation suite has been instrumental in accelerating enterprise software transformation following the merger. Financial firms often face similar challenges in making enterprise testing work: business complexity, a lack of the right resources and unrealistic expectations, for example. Kyle and Autumn will examine those challenges, and then take a deep dive into how AI-driven automation works in practice. 10:15 am THE DEVOPS JOURNEY ACCELERATES FOR WINTRUST - BENCHMARKING SUCCESS IN DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION Speaker: Andy Kasi, SVP, Enterprise Application Development, Wintrust Financial Corporation Nasdaq-quoted Wintrust Financial is the holding company for 15 different community banks in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Charles Schwab has embarked on a multi-year effort to transform its delivery pipelines, which includes all quality aspects as apps move from code through to production. The key challenges for Mike Schober’s team that we will be discussing in this session are how best to observe and measure the application pipeline, and how to build a standard set of practices across the organization to deliver best-in-class experiences for their users. In this fireside chat with Izzy Azeri, co-founder and CEO of software test automation platform mabl, Mike will share the story of how he embarked on this multi-year journey, and how he helped the Schwab team overcome those challenges along the way. 12:00 pm TEST SERVICE VIRTUALIZATION: HOW TWO LEADING INSURERS ARE DELIVERING APPS ON TIME, AT LOWER COST Speakers: • Kenny Austin, Chief Customer Officer, Parasoft • Pushpinder Malhotra, Senior QA Automation Manager, Northbridge Financial • Danny Oslin, Senior Manager, Enterprise Automation Engineering, WoodmenLife A key objective in the DevOps journey is a well-defined automated testing strategy that finds and fixes defects early in the development cycle.

For Ally Financial, it is about taking an empathetic view of its customers’ needs. By empathizing with customers, testers can ensure products address the real-world needs and concerns of users, going beyond the binary “it works or it doesn’t work” evaluation of a product’s effectiveness. As Sabrena and Courtney will explain, best practice in accessibility is about validating that there is inclusive digital access for all customers through repeatable processes. In this session you will hear how Ally Financial is embedding accessibility standards across the testing discipline by using empathy as the catalyst. 01:10 pm LUNCH & NETWORKING BREAK 02:10 pm INNOVATION IN FINANCIAL SERVICES WITH MLOPS: LEVERAGING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES IN AUTOMATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO EMPOWER YOUR BUSINESS Speakers: • Rochak Lamba, Head of Innovation for Financial Services, North America, Google Cloud • Sean Rastatter, AI Engineer, Google Cloud You may be winning in the race to DevOps and continuous testing - but are you ready for the challenge of MLOps?
