Presenting

Blockchain Applications, Developments and Testing

Blockchain is one of the most hyped technologies of 2017 and 2018, with the Gartner Hype Curve for Emerging Technologies for 12017 suggesting that we are between 5 and 10 years from enterprise use of the technologies.
There is a very large number of start-up companies around the world attracting large sums of investor money, some using Initial Coin Offerings, others using consortia of banks and other industry sector players to fund development of demonstrators of their ideas.
Whilst some of the developments are using enterprise quality development processes but many others are not.
This presentation will:
1)   Outline the basics of Blockchain and Smart Contract technology and some important consequences of the concepts for the software testing profession
2)   Identify and evaluate some interesting use cases
3)   Identify some of the critical issues that will need to be resolved before businesses will be able to trust and gain value from the technology, whether using the Public or Private Blockchains.
