Read more

Add to Calendar 09/25/2019 03:00 PM 09/25/2019 04:00 PM Spain Performance-Based Testing: Microsoft’s Journey from Desktop to Cloud Performance-based testing is emerging as an effective way of assessing candidates’ skills, allowing them to demonstrate their breadth of knowledge in a particular area. Although incorporating scored lab activities into assessments provides a higher fidelity to the real-world task that candidates will perform, doing so often introduces challenges in integrating multiple live systems and applications during exam delivery. This presentation will showcase several innovative solutions for delivering live in-the-app testing for a diversified set of products. We’ll discuss the different challenges and solutions applied to a spectrum of performance-based exams from desktop to cloud applications. We’ll also navigate implementation considerations, such as leveraging different lab providers and modality of deliveries for lab exams, and provide ideas and suggestions for simplifying the testing of performance-based exams. Attendees will learn a generic interoperable design approach for integrating different lab partners. Spain, Madrid
