Data Intelligence Enables  Intelligent R&D

Tony Chang

Abstract： 

Coming to the new era of software application – Agile、Micro-Service、DevOps … the development cycle is shortened but the quality of software should not be compromised. Therefore in the Software industry , the R&D model which include the software architecture itself, the software development process, the software development environment and the company organization are going through Engineering Transforming to facilitate the software development projects stake holders accomplish their tasks effectively and intelligently. This presentation will address the mission from the perspective of a corporate wide R&D competence promoter， which is to provide an intelligent research and development environment that will provide right assistances to the right R&D person at the right time in one shot. During the presentation will also highlight the key enablers of this intelligent R&D mission – build Data Intelligence through data correlation, software traceability and software analytics technologies to conduct the Intelligent Testing.
