Validating non-functional requirements only at the end of the project can lead to significant rework in architecture and software, making necessary changes difficult and costly. If you’re not testing these non-functionals—such as performance, scalability, and resiliency—throughout the development process, it might become increasingly challenging to implement necessary adjustments when evaluating these criteria late in the project.

This session emphasizes the critical importance of incorporating non-functional validation as early as possible in your development lifecycle. By identifying potential issues early, you can make timely adjustments, ensuring the final product meets all necessary criteria. Tom will share practical strategies for leveraging Azure to verify non-functionals, complete with real-world examples that illustrate how early validation can lead to smoother project execution and higher quality outcomes. This session is ideal for software architects, developers, and project managers looking to enhance their development practices.
