Presentatie honours deep dive amstelcampus
The document describes the process of doing a "deep dive", which involves immersing stakeholders in a system through experiences with different perspectives. It involves visiting places, asking open-ended questions, reflecting individually and as a group, and providing feedback.

Project oz - using Jira to manage a move from the UK to Australia
Project Oz was Matthew Cobby's effort to track the many tasks involved in moving his family from London to Melbourne, Australia using Jira. Key tasks included finding a new home, resigning from his job, planning holidays, shutting down their life in London, becoming landlords, and shipping their belongings. While initially trying sprints and Kanban boards, versions focused on fixed events worked better given the unpredictability. The full agile approach proved too heavyweight, but standups were still useful. Ultimately, Jira provided more functionality than needed, and a simpler collaborative task tracker may have sufficed, but Matthew is a "Jira nerd." He continues exploring using Jira for personal projects like family outings.

Practical Continuous Deployment - Atlassian - London AUG 18 Feb 2014
The document discusses practical approaches to implementing continuous deployment. It describes converting an organization's internal systems to continuous delivery and deployment over six months to address integration issues. Continuous deployment aims to release features, not unfinished work, through automation that makes releasing repeatable. Stakeholders benefit from faster delivery of features to customers and clearer progress signals. The document outlines a development workflow involving tracking requests, branching per feature, automated testing, code reviews, merging to a release branch, and deploying to staging and production. It also addresses challenges of automation and coordination across servers for the "last mile" of deployment.
Advanced Agile Workflow - Dione Technology
Dan Petzen presented on the story of a basic Agile workflow and how he discovered SIL (Simple Issue Language) while working with a client's DevOps team to help them improve their use of JIRA. SIL allows automation of workflows through post-functions, validators, listeners and services using a simple scripting language. He demonstrated how SIL can be used to automatically transition subtasks and parent issues based on their status. Further testing and implementation was planned before full production use.
Atlassian Tools in Selfridges
This document summarizes Atlassian's use of project management and collaboration tools at a large UK retail store.

Finally, it provides statistics on tool usage and plans to expand usage to additional teams.
Deploying atlassian tools in the enterprise - Dione Technology
The document discusses deploying Atlassian tools in enterprise environments. It describes the challenges of managing environments and delivering changes. The presented solution uses Maven plugins to package applications, configuration files, and scripts into RPMs. Environments like production, staging and development are then provisioned using bash scripts that install RPMs and refresh databases from backups. Automating deployment in this way allows for faster, more consistent provisioning of environments.
6 Updates in Collaboration @ Atlassian
This document summarizes 6 updates in Collaboration tools from Atlassian:
1. Users in Confluence can now be renamed for better organization.
2. Confluence now offers an easy setup knowledge base with best practices and structure out of the box.

This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
