Tom Steihm has been developing applications and managing software development teams for over 20 years. As CTO of Coveros, he is responsible for the oversight of all technical projects and the integration of new technologies and testing practices into software development projects. Recently he has been focusing on how to incorporate DevSecOps and agile best practices into projects and how to achieve a balance between team productivity and cost while mitigating project risks. One of the best risk mitigation techniques Tom has found is leveraging DevSecOps and agile testing practices into all aspects of projects. Previously, as a managing architect at Digital Focus, Tom was involved in agile development and found that agile is the only methodology that makes the business reality of constant change central to the process.
