Ever wondered what gives you the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to user experience? In this session, Nielsen Norman Group, Master Certified UX Strategist, Trevor Calabro provides a 7-step checklist that will tell you just that. Everything in this session is broken down into plain English and uses real-world examples. The session also includes a series of worksheets designed for you to replicate this system on your own projects.

We often talk about UX as a focus on making a site intuitive and easy-to-use for anonymous visitors, or perhaps registered users who need manage their account, make a purchase, and so on. But what about the people who will use your site most? While an engaged visitor might return to your site 3-5 times a month, a site admin use the site that many times a week, or more!

Nowadays, the Support model is in the most advanced demand, and the Clients prefer to sign the Support and Maintenance contract after site development. In the Support contract, We prefer to manage the Drupal Security updates, Downtime/Uptime monitoring, Monthly consumption reports, AM support for escalations, etc.

In this session, I will explain to you how the support & Maintenance model works with the Kanban model. 

Session details
We want to follow industry standards with our websites and apps. If the project managers understand the automation testing process and workflow that will change the picture overall and can also reduce the dependency on the people.

This session is for people who want to understand the process and workflow of automation and want to lead the process without any dependency.

As we near the end of life of Drupal 7, it's time to decide what to do with your Drupal 7 websites. One of the more cost-effective choices is to upgrade that website to Backdrop CMS.

Backdrop CMS is the Drupal fork: It's a version of Drupal 7 that runs faster, yet contains far more features. It is both easier to use, and more affordable to maintain than Drupal 7 was, and has a built-in upgrade path (no migrations required).

The challenge of front end visual regression testing. Why we want to have front end testing and why it is difficult to get right. Open discussion on how others on campus are addressing this complicated topic.

Despite our best efforts, it’s difficult to future proof a website for accessibility standards. Your code and design may follow current standards, but will your careful compliance become obsolete when new guidelines are released? What happens when the site is updated or content is entered? What browsers or assistive technology agents do your consumers use? We will review a holistic approach for the complete lifecycle of an accessible website —including how to iterate on existing content without impacting the hard work you put in during the build. Much like SEO...your work is never done.
