Dr. Francisco Gortázar is a Professor at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos with more than 12 years of experience in teaching distributed systems and cloud computing. He has a strong connection with the industry, providing consultancy about cloud technologies and improving testing and Continuous Integration and Deployment activities. Currently he is coordinating the H2020 project ElasTest, where he is researching novel ways of testing cloud infrastructures and applications, including 5G, IoT and real-time communication systems. 

Modern applications are complex in nature, and understanding problems when they arise is not easy, given the number of components and services involved. The open source ElasTest project was born with the intention of easing the task of localizing errors in our services and platforms by means of actionable test reports. The presentation will highlight the main features of ElasTest in this regards, and will show some preliminary results in areas such as 5G, IoT and real time communication.
