Getting Started with Architecture Decision RecordsMichael Keeling
Documenting architecture design decisions is commonly considered a good practice and yet many teams don't take the time to write down the decisions they make. In our experience this happens for a few reasons: documentation is rejected as being too heavyweight, documentation has little influence since it is typically out of sight and out of mind, and many developers don’t know what to document. Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) address many of these problems by capturing design decisions in a simple, lightweight templates that is stored close to repositories used by stakeholders -- often in the same repository as code affected by the ADR.
In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to write effective ADRs and how to overcome road bumps teams often experience when first getting started with ADRs. By the end of this session you will have the skills you need to champion ADRs and help your team start (or improve) your design decision log.
Architecting at Scale with the Advice ProcessEran Stiller
Software architecture is an essential aspect of the software development lifecycle. But how do you run your architecture process? How do you make architectural decisions at scale with hundreds of developers on board? Enter the Advice Process.
The Advice Process empowers anyone to make architectural decisions, even those without the "Architect" title. Say goodbye to strict hierarchies and hello to a more collaborative approach. But how do you make it work in practice? How do you set your organization up for success?
Join us in this session, where Eran will walk you through the ins and outs of the Advice Process, including how he implemented it successfully and the lessons learned along the way.

Blend Well for Best Results - Optimizing Engineer and Tech Writer CollaborationJody Zolli
Agile development can introduce new challenges to the information design process, but in the context of bringing technical writers into the development team and the development work itself, agile can present unique opportunities for technical writers. Earlier and deeper involvement in development projects enables technical writers to attain a rich understanding of a product’s design, operation, and end-users, and invites them to contribute to the engineering design and development process as they develop highly usable information for the product’s target audience. Technical writers have so much more to offer than end-user documentation, and it’s been my experience that working more closely with development teams enables writers to contribute on multiple fronts while they are cultivating the in-depth product knowledge necessary for writing high quality product documentation.

Don't get blamed for your choices - Techorama 2019Hannes Lowette
As developers, we make choices all the time: architecture, frameworks, libraries, cloud providers, etc. And if you’ve been around for a while, you probably ended up regretting at least some of your choices.
In this session, we'll explore the typical pitfalls of making development choices and how to avoid them. By the end of this session, you will be armed to take any decision they will throw at you.
Now, if only there was a way to prove to your peers and superiors that you acquired this skill...
Well, there is! RAD Certification! I'll end my talk by telling you about this awesome certification program!

In his recent book, Clean Agile, Robert C "Uncle Bob" Martin chooses Extreme Programming (XP) for the basis of his explanation of Agile because "of all the Agile processes, XP is the best defined, the most complete, and the least muddled."
So why is it that in my professional life I only hear us speaking about Agile in terms of Scrum, Sprints, and possibly Kanban? Often I mention XP and people are not sure what I mean. Am I sure myself?
Coined in 1999 by Kent Beck and Ward Cunningham, XP has been with us for twenty years, but may of its practices have been with us for much longer. Many of them will be familar to you, but did you know they came from XP?
This talk aims to take us back to what XP is, how it fits in the Agile world, how it sits alongside other methodologies, and why, like Uncle Bob, I believe it is the best defined methodology, and what we should all be talking about.
The talk is based on a heavily refactored talk that Mike gave previously at Agile on the Beach conference, updated for 2020.

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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Some Agile Architecture Principals
To Start …
• “Just enough” upfront design
• Just-in-time design each iteration
• Trust your team… and be there for them
• Know when changes are required
• Write docs … but only if someone needs to read
them
• APPLY COMMON SENCE
3. What Does It All Mean…
• “Just enough” upfront design
• High-Level Architecture Is Enough To Size The Story and Start Working On It
• Just-in-time design each iteration
• Architecture Documentation Will Get More Details During The Sprint (When
needed and If needed only)
• Trust your team… and be there for them
• Experienced Team Members Can Make Decisions On The Application
Architecture In Coordination With Architect.
• Know when changes are required
• Architecture Is A Collaboration. All Ideas/Feedback Are Welcome And Will Be
Assessed.
• The Decision On Architecture Change Will Be Made In Collaboration Between
Team Members and Architect
• Write docs … but only if someone needs to read them
• Only relevant architecture details will be documented
• APPLY COMMON SENCE
• Simple. Always Apply Common Sense
4. What To Expect From Architect…
• High-Level Architecture or “No Architecture/Design
Update Needed” Note For Most Of The Stories Before
The Sprint Planning And Sprint Start Date
• Architecture Clarifications And More
Architecture/Design Details During The Sprint
• And I mean It: Ask Questions, Give Feedback And Ideas On
Better Design. All As Usual.
• Design Changes, If Necessary And If It Makes Sense
5. What Is Expected From The Team…
• Review Of The High-Level Architecture For The Stories
Before The Sprint Planning
• Feedback To The High-Level Architecture, If Necessary
• Making Independent Decisions Where Possible
• Example: Not to stack over the name of the field or reference
data value (especially knowing the naming convention). Just
communicate your decision and continue.
• Ideas For Design Improvement
