Though DevOps is a relatively new role, it’s one that allows visibility across the whole operation, making it important to senior tech positions. It's no secret that CTOs need to have a full understanding if they want to be successful, but does that make them responsible for developer productivity? While advancements in software development and testing have come a long way, there is still room for improvement. With new AI and ML algorithms spanning development, code reviews, unit testing, test authoring, and AIOps, teams can boost their productivity and deliver better software faster. In this session, Eran Kinsbruner will cover recommended areas where artificial intelligence and machine learning can be leveraged. This includes how to: • Obtain an overview of existing AI/ML technologies throughout the DevOps pipeline across categories • Realize the value of each of these technologies across DevOps categories • Understand the future of DevOps tied with AI/ML technologies

Autonomous & Agnostic to the Dev Framework
• Sophisticated locators – Picked up autonomously.
Doesn’t require user input.
• Each element identified by a multi locator adaptive
scoring system.
• Most mobile frameworks don’t expose unique IDs –
Perfecto Scriptless has its own locator system, agnostic
to the framework.
Discover & Manage System Messages
• Stable on real devices too: Manage unpredictable
messages that can fail tests randomly.
Adaptive to Screen Load Time
• Identifying progress bars and synchronizing actions to
when screens are loaded and ready.

AIOps, (artificial intelligence for IT operations) is the application of artificial intelligence (AI)
to enhance IT operations. Specifically, AIOps uses big data, analytics, and machine learning
capabilities to do the following:
• Collect and aggregate the huge and ever-increasing volumes of operations data
generated by multiple IT infrastructure components, applications, and
performance-monitoring tools.
• Intelligently sift ‘signals’ out of the ‘noise’ to identify significant events and patterns
related to system performance and availability issues (detect business anomalies).
• Automatically diagnose root causes and report them to IT for rapid response and
remediation — or, in some cases, automatically resolve these issues without human
intervention.
