A/B Testing and Optimizely Module
•
0 likes•1,961 views
Use A/B testing to monitor the impact of changes of web page elements that lead to more downloads, user contributed content, increased revenues, or whatever result you want to achieve. A/B testing involves testing two versions of a website - an A version (the control) and a B version (the variation) - with live traffic and measuring the effect each version has on your conversion rate. Results of A/B tests are used to make informed decisions about how to structure and present content on a site. There is no longer a need to guess what the site's user response is to changes, simply test and look at the trends in the data. The power and ease of use of the Optimizely framework is further enhanced using the Optimizely Drupal module. We will discuss the current and future integration of A/B testing with Drupal and Optimizely using the Optimizely Drupal module in detail. The presentation will end with a discussion of what future integration of Optimizely with Drupal is desired to further leverage the partnership.

4 Steps Toward Scientific A/B Testing
To build a successful A/B testing strategy, you'll need more than just ideas of what to test, you'll need a plan that builds data into a repeatable strategy for producing winning experiments.

Flaky tests are a waste of time and money. It becomes a nightmare when the component under test is a very complex non deterministic decision system. We found that mocks, stubs and docker sidecars have their limits and we moved more tests from the CI to pre-production testing (canary on steroids)
Demystifying NoSQL - All Things Open - October 2020
We’ve been using relational databases like SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL, and Oracle for a long time. Tables are practically ingrained into our thought processes. But many organizations and businesses are turning to NoSQL options to solve problems of scale, performance, and flexibility. What is a long-time relational database-using developer supposed to do? Do I just forget about all that SQL that I learned? (Spoiler alert: NO). Come to this session with all your burning questions about data modeling, transactions, schema, migration, how to get started, and more. Let’s find out if a NoSQL tool like Couchbase, CosmosDb, Mongo, etc, is the right fit for your next project.

On Performance Under Hotspots in Hadoop versus Bigdata Replay Platforms
The core idea behind Hadoop is to distribute both the data and user software on individual shards within the cluster. The Bigdata Replay method is drastically different in that it packs user software into batches on a single multicore machine and uses circuit emulation to maximize throughout when bringing data shards for replay. The effect from hotspots, defined as drastically higher access frequency to a small portion of (popular) data, is different in the two platforms. This paper models the difference numerically but in a relative form, which makes it possible to compare the two platforms.
Fully Tested: From Design to MVP In 3 Weeks
In this presentation Daniel Giordano, Product Marketing Manager at SmartBear, will cover how to speed up your development with a design first mind set, virtualizing services and dependencies to enhance collaboration between developers & testers, & end-to-End testing strategies for an immature product.
The Possibilities and Pitfalls of Writing Your Own State Stores with Daan Gertis
The Possibilities and Pitfalls of Writing Your Own State Stores. Building an event-driven system will inevitably lead you to exposing your data through APIs to make your data accessible to non-streaming solutions. At first glance, Kafka Streams provides statestores which we could use to build our APIs directly onto Kafka. But all store implementations are key/value based which is fine when you only retrieve information by key. API’s however require a bit more “searchability”.
Writing your own state store is certainly possible, but it is challenging. At KOR, we went through this process and implemented a state store on top of Nitrite Database, an embedded document database. This allows you not only to retrieve your documents using a key, but also to search through the values in the store using a MongoDB-like API. On the surface, state stores seem straightforward, but the devil is certainly in the details. How does partitioning fit into this story and how do you make sure everything keeps running smooth, even after restarting or scaling your applications?
We made the project open source for everyone out there wanting to try this approach, but most of all we want to tell you about the dragons we encountered. Join me in a journey of ups and downs that starts with a simple requirement (host an API), through implementing a custom state store and finishes off by describing the challenges we encountered getting our APIs deployed. Don’t expect all “roses and sunshine”. While hosting APIs on Kafka is possible, there are some consequences that we just couldn’t overcome … yet.

End-to-End test architectures, a dead End road
With the rise of Distributed Architecture, independent DevOps teams and automated CI/CD the End-to-End test environments need to be reconsidered.
They become flaky, shaky, untrustworthy and hard to maintain. Why are End-to-End test environments a dead End road and what are the alternatives.
Why are people still using these so-called 'production-like' test environments and how can we achieve the same level of software quality without them.
After attending this talk I hope people are questioning the end-2-end test environments.
I will give some ideas on how to solve the testing problems in a different way being less depending on those fragile environments.
Drupal As A Jigsaw
Drupal is an enigma to its initiates and a sonic screwdriver to its experts. In module-land, users solve their own problems, the result being a myriad of puzzle pieces. Every ambitious drupal-focused company is building shortcuts to combine these pieces, be that through their own vertical Distributions, reusable Features or demo frameworks with Drolutions. What markets will Drupal conquer as these concepts mature? How can start-ups and enterprises leverage Drupal's rapid development velocity? How can you play your part in Drupal's vertical revolution?
Behat - human-readable automated testing
Behat is a tool that makes behavior driven development (BDD) possible. With BDD, you write human-readable stories that describe the behavior of your Drupal site. These stories can then be auto-tested against your website, whether in the midst of development, or on a live site. And yes, it’s as cool as it sounds!
Behat, if embraced by enough Drupal folks, has the potential to vastly improve the way we build and test Drupal websites. Testing language can be developed by module maintainers, and allow nearly codefree testing to be developed by everyone, as needed, per site.
Behat IS NOT unit testing nor a specification testing tool. Behat is a Scenario-oriented BDD framework with functional testing capabilities as part of a communication process between stake-holders and developers. Think Agile User Stories meets Selenium.
Behat is currently used to test Drupal.org, allowing a variety of coders to work on a single site, and ensure that no existing functionality will break as they add new features. Or as it's migrated from one version to another. Imagine that on your site.
We will review Behat (and Mink, and related code), how to use it with Drupal, Drush, and the existing modules/code to support that. We will demo live testing, and so how easy it is to write tests, with and without code.
ALL YOUR BASE (THEMES) ARE BELONG TO US
In all the years of designing for Drupal, the one thing I have learned is to always borrow from the best and build it into a base theme. Now, I know you’re saying to yourself — not another base theme. But why not? If I told you your theme could be responsive from the start, have flexible regions that you didn't have to design for, and that you could avoid the JQuery conflicts that plague Drupal 7, would you be interested?

A key concept in Drupal Commerce is the Product Display vs Product model used to separate physical products from their display on the website.
Depending on your point of view, this makes perfect sense or is a conceptual or practical nightmare. However you feel about it, understanding the reasoning behind the concept is essential when it comes to planning and implementing a Drupal Commerce project.

Promotions Vouchers and Offers in Drupal Commerce
Drupal Commerce is an incredibly powerful suite of modules for creating e-Commerce sites in Drupal. With Rules based pricing it is possible to create highly complex special offers, vouchers and variable pricing. However, this can be a minefield of business logic contradiction and complex rule configuration way beyond what your site administrator can manage easily.
Workbench: Managing Content Management
Our clients often come to Drupal with expectations about the features of a content management system (CMS). In many cases, Drupal handles the features they expect. However, not all editorial tools are a part of Drupal Core, and Drupal has addressed these tools with various contributed modules. As a result, Drupal’s editorial space generally lacks a consistent workflow and interface.
Ideally suited to the needs of universities. Workbench incorporates contributed modules and has some new features of its own:
Hierarchical permission inheritance by “Sections” not just content types
Extensible workflow states
Single repository for media management
Modify live content without publishing changes immediately
Workbench provides a unified interface for managing content. In effect, Workbench hides Drupal from you and makes content management about your institution and your website, not about Drupal.

Experience Level: Beginner
Deployment Strategies: Managing Code, Content, and Configurations
Most development shops make use of a "development/staging/production" server model. Maintaining code, content, and configurations across multiple environments can be a bit tricky, particularly since drupal doesn't currently provide any native means to separate configuration from content. This session would discuss the various methods to make sure that your development server looks like your production server. We will touch on version control, the backup and migrate module, and the features module, as well as integrating a deployment management software such as hudson or aegir, and how to scale these solutions from a small application to a large enterprise server architecture.

Drupal Aware Design: Good Techniques for Better Themes
Between design and Drupal theme we change gears dramatically in process and thinking. As designers, we craft our work with wowing users in mind, and as themers, we strive to architect the design and make it pop. We can better unify these approaches to save time and work better. Drupal is adept at making virtually any design look great. What can we achieve in design, both individually and as a community? How can we build diverse designs seamlessly without a hitch along the way? We'll talk about how to improve every step of a process, from prototypes to wireframes. We'll discuss resolving complications like handovers in markup and themes that, due to a design's particularities or a time crunch, end up hacky and impossible to extend. We'll also dwell briefly on important ideas like accessibility and semantics, all while creating Drupal-ready designs and themes that perform perfectly across the board!
Here's a brief summary of what we'll tackle:
Some design principles, including Drupal's
Drupal-aware: Design with Drupal, not for Drupal
One design, many layout possibilities
Thinking about Drupal's structure and markup
How to write an awesome theme
Drupal code standards and conventions
Contributing good themes
To Drupal and beyond: Code that lasts
This session is geared toward designers with some HTML/CSS background and theming beginners. We will also work with a little painless PHP.

Drupal and Higher Education
In this session we’ll take a look at 7 unique higher education case studies showcasing the diversity of Drupal solutions in the .edu space. The case studies show Drupal as a solution for everything from departmental web presences to university wide web publishing solutions and learning management systems. Culled from interviews with university IT teams across the country from private to public both large and small, we’ll examine implementation choices, lessons learned and the business reasons that made Drupal the right choice.
Keypoints:
We'll identify the top issues facing Higher Education and how Drupal can help address them.
We'll take a look at seven case studies of Drupal in use in higher ed:
- Drupal as Unit CMS - College of Fine Arts, UT Austin
- Drupal as Flagship - Duke University
- Drupal as Intranet - California State University, Monterey Bay
- Drupal as LMS - ELMS, Penn State University
- Drupal as Lingua Franca - Stanford University
- Drupal as University Wide Solution - Yale University
- Drupal as OOTB software - Open Academy, University of California, Berkeley
We’ll look at lessons learned and resources available to higher education Drupal implementers.
This Session has been presented at Drupal Camp UT Austin.
A New Theme Layer for Drupal 8
Drupal 7's theme layer suffered from "Arrays of Doom" and the impenetrable render(). After having to learn and use these tools, the community has rebelled and decided we need to make some major changes in Drupal 8.
Come learn about Twig, a new Symfonic templating language we can use to decrease Drupal's learning curve and increase security on every Drupal site.
Mobile and Responsive Design with Sass
Is your site ready for the mobile web? Are you sure? Go ahead, check it on your phone, and your kid's phone, and a tablet, and some Android dealies, and a Bleakberry. And a TV or two. I'll wait.
That was an eye-opener, right?
Web design and front end development has never been more complex than it is now, and it's likely to get worse before it gets better. Should you design your site "Mobile First"? How about "Adaptive" or "Responsive"? What's the difference between those again? I want to talk about why you might want to choose these approaches to your project.
CSS is also not really up to the task of managing all this complexity. Sure, it *can* do it, but pure CSS strains almost to the breaking point under the pressure. So let's welcome Sass to the party. Sass is a CSS preprocessor that gives CSS authors the tools we've been aching for in creating and managing large and complex CSS projects. We'll cover a few of the Sass basics, but the real value here is in the more sophisticated tools that let you manage all the moving parts necessary in creating all this new-fangled wizardry.
We'll cover:
- Mobile First
- Adaptive Design
- Responsive Design
- Stand-alone mobile options
- Sass
- Mobile-focused tools
- Compass
- Survival Kit
- Susy
Drupal and Apache Solr Search Go Together Like Pizza and Beer for Your Site
The Apache Solr Search Integration module provides integration with the (free, open-source) Apache Solr server. This great combination of Drupal with a powerful and flexible search server will make your site irresistible to visitors by providing advanced search features like faceting filtering and by delivering the most relevant search results from your site. The module has been re-written for Drupal 7 to integrate with Facet API and those changes have been backported to a new Drupal 6 branch. Thus, you can use this module for all your projects, as well as setting up a shared search index that allows you to search across different Drupal 6 and Drupal 7 sites. This talk will focus on explaining configurations options in the admin UI to help you quickly and confidently configure the facets, pages, related content blocks, and other features for your site. Highlights may include:
- What are the key Solr concepts you need to understand to get the most out of Solr integration?
- How is the module admin UI organized?
- How do I configure facets, sorts, and content recommendation blocks?
- How can I use additional modules to index file attachments?

Building Social Networks
This session will address how complex social networks of various types can be built with Drupal. The nuances of Feeds, Walls, Sharing (both private and public), Friends, Following, and (most importantly) Privacy will be explored, and options for building these features with Drupal will be discussed, with examples from the real world.
This is an advanced session but anyone with social-networking dreams would benefit from learning the challenges in building one.
How do you make a network "Social"?
A Drupal site is a network of users and content, but it is not inherently social. It's greatest original feature was the ability for multiple users to collaborate in managing the system. We'll talk about what makes networks social and what makes them fun: Feeds, Activity, & Sharing.
"News Feeds" can show not only your friend's content, but your friends-of-your-friends content when the target is your friend. Sound complicated? It is!
"Activity" is when you become friends with someone, join the site, "like" something, commented on something... the list goes on. Without activity display, a social network feels more like a MySpace than Facebook. But be careful... if you list each new activity all of your friends make, it can get clogged with redundant announcements. Learn how we devised a system that lets us smartly group recent activity taken by user, taxonomy term, or node.
Great social networks may be easy to use, but the logic behind true social networks is very complex.
The Details
- Building news feeds for friends and "followed" terms with Search API with Apache Solr
- How to let users "share" content and write on other users "walls".
- Creating an "activity" system that shows users activity around the site and can group similar activity together.
- Privacy & Permissions: How to give control where control is due.

The State of Drupal 8
Drupal 8 development is underway, and there are some very exciting things coming down the pipe. I'll bring you up to speed with what's going on in the major Drupal 8 Core initiatives and by the time we're finished, you will have tangible ways to get involved in the next iteration of Drupal.
This presentation is based on webchick's Drupal 8 slides. Since Drupal 8 is under very active development, the slides/presentation will change between now and the time I give it. I will upload the new version too.
Building Social Networks
This session will address how complex social networks of various types can be built with Drupal. The nuances of Feeds, Walls, Sharing (both private and public), Friends, Following, and (most importantly) Privacy will be explored, and options for building these features with Drupal will be discussed, with examples from the real world.

Move Into Drupal Using The Migrate Module
The migrate module provides a flexible framework for migrating content into Drupal from other sources (e.g., when converting a web site from another CMS to Drupal). Out-of-the-box, support for creating core Drupal objects such as nodes, users, files, terms, and comments are included - it can easily be extended for migrating other kinds of content. The power comes from an object oriented API that's tricky to get started with - We'll walk through the various classes in the module and how they work together to manage migrations.
I am currently looking for co-presenters or to present in a panel format as I feel we can all have something to learn from each other.
UPDATE July 21, 2012: Thank you to everyone that was able to come out to the session. I know it was a complex topic. As another resource, you can take a look at the code from the example I displayed today at https://bitbucket.org/btmash/redcat_new_migration. Obviously, the migration won't work (the db needs to exist) but the code should hopefully be helpful. Cheers!
Hack Into Drupal Sites (or, How to Secure Your Drupal Site)

Drulenium - Testing Made Easy
Want to automate testing on your site? don't know coding? No Problem! Selenium to your rescue!!
Drupal + Selenium = Drulenium
In this session I will demonstrate how Selenium can be used to
- Build the site
- Generate test content
- Deploy Dev -> Stage -> Prod
- Automate Testing
Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium scripts. It is implemented as a Firefox extension, and allows you to record, edit, and debug tests. Selenium IDE includes the entire Selenium Core, allowing you to easily and quickly record and play back tests in the actual environment that they will run."
Experience Level: Beginner
Node Access in Drupal 7 (and Drupal 8)
This talk will look at the features and changes in the Node Access system for Drupal 7.
Out of the box, Drupal is a great system for creating and managing content. However, there are cases where your needs require additional requirements for which users can create, view, edit and delete content. To solve this problem, Drupal provides its Node Access system.
Node Access provides an API for determining the grants, or permissions, that a user has for each node. By understanding how these grants work, a module developer can create and enforce complex access rules.
We will cover some (or all) of the following topics.
- Node Access compared to user_access() and other permission checks.
- How Drupal grants node permissions.
- The node_access() function.
- hook_node_access() compared to {node_access}.
- Controlling permission to create content.
- Using hook_node_access().
- When to write a Node Access module.
- The {node_access} table and its role.
- Defining your moduleâs access rules.
- Using hook_node_access_records().
- Using hook_node_grants().
- Rebuilding the {node_access} table.
- Modifying the behavior of other modules.
- Using hook_node_access_records_alter().
- Using hook_node_grants_alter().
- Testing and debugging you module.
- Using Devel Node Access
- Roadmap for Drupal 8
Ken Rickard is the maintainer of the Domain Access module and wrote several of the patches for Node Access in Drupal 7.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
