DataOps or how I learned to love production - Michael HausenblasEvention
A plethora of data processing tools, most of them open source, is available to us. But who actually runs data pipelines? What about dynamically allocating resources to data pipeline components? In this talk we will discuss options to operate elastic data pipelines with modern, cloud native platforms such as DC/OS with Apache Mesos, Kubernetes and Docker Swarm. We will review good practices, from containerizing workloads to making things resilient and show elastic data pipelines in action.
Is the lack of access to good employee data stopping you from making the best decisions possible about your talent and your business? Employee information spread across multiple systems, spreadsheets and sometimes just in legend and folklore is not only frustrating, it can stop us from being as effective and create expensive regulatory compliance and security headaches. And waiting around for some magical data warehouse solution or an expensive system consolidation just isn’t practical.
Join Paul Hamerman, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research, and Steve Parker, vice president at SumTotal Systems, as they discuss how to use technological innovations to quickly and inexpensively solve your HR data woes and move on to those strategic initiatives you’ve been waiting to tackle.
In this webinar, you will learn:
How to achieve a global system of record for employee information without having to rip and replace current systems.
How a comprehensive employee lifecycle master data model (MDM) can help solve data issues.
How the same technology can provide access to HR data in context — when and where needed — to drive better decision-making and actions.

Fadi Stephan presented on Agile metrics at the 2022 Global Scrum
Gathering
Abstract:
There are more to Agile metrics than velocity and burn-down charts. However, most Agile teams just focus on velocity and target story points which leads to managers misusing the metric and teams gaming the system. Velocity should stay within the team and there are other metrics that can be shared with others that are outside the team. These metrics provide a more holistic view of the project’s overall health. The Agile Dashboard collects such metrics and acts as an information radiator giving us real time project updates on value, performance, schedule, scope, cost, quality, and team spirit.
Come learn what to measure and for how long. Learn how to read warning signs and what corrective actions to take. Learn to setup your own Agile dashboard to arm yourself with the right information and make careful and constant adjustments to ensure forward and safe progress towards your final deliverable.

This document discusses the past, present and future of agile testing. It begins by outlining different phases of testing in an agile project such as testing 3 months before release, 1 week before release, and 1 week after release. It then discusses whether testers should just find bugs or care more about quality. The rest of the document outlines concepts like sprint reviews, different types of testing like unit, integration and GUI testing. It also shows the traditional vs agile testing pyramids and the agile testing quadrant. The document advocates adopting an agile mindset and practices like continuous integration and delivery to enable faster feedback cycles. It provides examples of tools that can be used for different types of testing and quality practices. Finally

The document discusses agile governance and provides examples of traditional governance practices, key challenges, and potential solutions when transitioning to agile. Specifically, it notes that traditional governance is often rigid and sequential while agile governance aims to be lightweight, flexible, and empowering. It then gives examples of how architectural design, project planning, and quality audits could transition from traditional to more agile approaches. Groups are tasked with discussing their roles and perspectives on these examples. The overall message is that agile requires transforming traditional top-down governance to embrace more dynamic and collaborative approaches.
The document contrasts the roles and responsibilities of a Product Manager Version 1.0 with a Product Manager Version 2.0. A Product Manager Version 1.0 only worries about exiting sprints, demos, and training while a Product Manager Version 2.0 has additional responsibilities beyond those tasks. The document seeks to find the coordinates or defining characteristics of what a Product Manager Version 2.0 entails.
The document discusses using a balanced scorecard approach for measuring an agile enterprise. It proposes key metrics across four perspectives: business value, user orientation, operational excellence, and future orientation. Examples of metrics provided include major releases per quarter, customer survey response rates, number of features developed per release, and employee engagement scores. The balanced scorecard is presented as a way to measure an agile organization across important areas.
The 7-step process outlines how to successfully implement Agile practices within an organization: 1) Evaluate the existing organization culture, portfolio, and functions; 2) Experiment with Agile through stealth projects; 3) Use simple, open-source tools to start; 4) Engage stakeholders to understand interests and resistance; 5) Announce Agile demands and seek feedback and visibility; 6) Spread awareness of Agile benefits and gain support; 7) Continuously evolve practices such as adopting Lean, XP, and Kanban.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
