Wesley Scheffel and Robin Rain will be speaking at the QA Financial & E-Commerce Forum London 2025 – on September 18th
Welcome to another QA Financial’s event-themed podcast, where we explore the cutting-edge of software testing and quality assurance in financial services ahead of the QA Financial & E-Commerce Forum London, taking place in the British capital on 18 September.
In the run-up to the annual conference, we catch up with Wesley Scheffel, Head of Cloud Platform and Product Engineering at Schroders, and his colleague Robin Rain, Head of Cloud Platform Architecture at the same firm.
At the upcoming QA Financial and E-Commerce Forum London, Wesley and Robin plan to discuss how their team have tackled long delivery cycles, fragmented tooling, and operational overheads, while using data-driven discovery to address the real pain points for developers and testers.
They will also explore Schroders’ use of AI-augmented tooling to cut technical debt and prepare for the future of DevOps in financial services. So how have they used AI-augmented tooling to manage drift from key requirements and reduce technical debt? And how are they benchmarking success and preparing for future requirements? Let’s dive in.
Wesley Scheffel and Robin Rain will be speaking at the QA Financial & E-Commerce Forum London, on 18 September at 4pm. More information can be found here
