London SF Developers: Custom Lightning Component Error HandlingRichard Clark
aka Essential Eight Lessons for Error Handling in Lightning Custom Component Development.
Covering some of the common pitfalls of handling errors when developing Lightning Components and my own modest recommendations for how you can avoid them, plus some best practices. As part of my role at Provar I get asked to investigate when our customer's tests are seen to be failing in order to diagnose whether the fault is in Salesforce or a missing feature of Provar. I've learned the astonishing ways in which people are publishing code for Lightning Components without basic error handling to a point I'd argue is irresponsible! This led me down a deeper and deeper rabbit hole which, like Alice, I'd like to share so you can all safely reach the Lightning Wonderland!

Slides from the workshop I conducted on "Client-side Performance Testing".
Abstract of the workshop:
In this workshop, we will see the different dimensions of Performance Testing and Performance Engineering, and focus on Client-side Performance Testing.
Before we get to doing some Client-side Performance Testing activities, we will first understand how to look at client-side performance, and putting that in the context of the product under test. We will see, using a case study, the impact of caching on performance, the good & the bad! We will then experiment with some tools like WebPageTest and Page Speed to understand how to measure client-side performance.
Lastly - just understanding the performance of the product is not sufficient. We will look at how to automate the testing for this activity - using WebPageTest (private instance setup), and experiment with yslow - as a low-cost, programatic alternative to WebPageTest.

[MOPCON2018] Effectively shrink ProGuard rules for reducing APK sizeAnsgar Lin
Have you ever refined the ProGuard rules of your project? Is it always correct to copy-paste the rules from StackOverflow or document? Today I am gonna share the steps we took, the problem we faced during the process of refining ProGuard rules and the result with you. Come and take away the tips and use them wisely in your Project.
It is easy to measure code coverage when running unit tests.
However, very frequently the following questions come up:
- How can we measure API test coverage and e2e / UI test coverage?
- Does e2e / UI test coverage add value?
- If not, what other data can we look at to know if the e2e tests have good coverage?
This session is about understanding the above questions, and finding solutions for the same.

Continuous Load Testing with CloudTest and JenkinsSOASTA
Two key challenges to continuous load testing are provisioning a test system to handle the load and accessing load generators to drive the traffic.
In this webinar from SOASTA & CloudBees, you will learn how to:
Build realistic automated web performance tests and run them in Jenkins
Architect and launch a test environment that auto-provisions in the cloud
Manage a load generation grid to drive load tests in a lights-out mode
Establish a performance baseline in your daily Jenkins reports
What to Do—Develop Your Own Automation or Use Crowdsourced Testing?TechWell
Modern software products tend to have a rich UI that supports many user workflows, all of which need to be covered in testing. Agile organizations quickly discover that manual end-to-end testing neither supports their velocity nor provides respectable regression coverage. A common progression is to move from fully manual testing to record/replay, then to Selenium IDE style tests, then to automation based on Selenium WebDriver, perhaps with a BDD overlay. Daria Mehra has practiced this approach and shares her experience. She compares the Selenium style of automation to an alternative—crowdsourced test execution— which provides all the benefits of test automation, including continuous integration. This approach allows non-coders to express test cases in natural language, avoids the dependency on UI implementation, adds a “human eye” advantage, and provides the ability to massively parallelize tests for fast execution. Learn the pros and cons of end-to-end, UI-based test automation via Selenium compared to crowdsourcing. Find out how you can assess the suitability of these testing approaches for your needs.

DevOps in Practice: When does "Practice" Become "Doing"?Michael Elder
DevOps has emerged as the hot trend in development buzzword-ology. With a few quick paragraphs, it proposes to decimate all of the traditional problems you've encountered during your development experience.
In IBM UrbanCode, we build products to help customers follow good DevOps practices. You may think DevOps is about the release process, but really it's about applying a mix of automation and operational practices earlier in your development life cycle so that rolling out to production becomes easier. DevOps promotes a focus on small-batch changes over large complex updates which are harder to predict and harder to roll back when problems occur. With greater velocity, rolling out smaller changes becomes more common place. Additionally, IBM UrbanCode makes extensive application of cloud technology that intercepts well with practices in DevOps around production-like environments.
In this talk, Michael Elder describes how we practice DevOps internally with a mixture of IBM-built and open source tools. He'll discuss the areas that we do well and the challenges that we have with changing our culture around areas like test automation. On top of that, he'll describe how you can leverage these approaches in your own development process!
Testing Java EE Applications Using ArquillianReza Rahman
This session outlines how to effectively test Java EE APIs like JSF, Servlet, CDI, EJB 3, JPA, WebSocket and JAX-RS. Java EE includes a number of new features that enhance testability like generic dependency injection, CDI @Alternative, portable extensions, embedded containers and JSF project stages.
Using these features and best of breed tools like JUnit and Arquillian it is possible to perform unit, integration, system and functional testing for Java EE APIs at all layers of the application. In addition to discussing tools and features, the session will also demonstrate testing techniques like designing for testability, mock objects, isolation and test configuration.
Have you ever wondered what the best way would be to test emails? Or how you would go about testing a messaging queue?
Making sure your components are correctly interacting with each other is both a tester and developer’s concern. Join us to get a better understanding of what you should test and how, both manually and automated.
This session is the first ever in which we will have two units working together to give you a nuanced insight on all aspects of integration testing. We’ll start off exploring the world of integration testing, defining the terminology, and creating a general understanding of what phases and kinds of testing exist. Later on we’ll delve into integration test automation, ranging from database integration testing to selenium UI testing and even as far as LDAP integration testing.
We have a wide variety of demos prepared where we will show you how easy it is to test various components of your infrastructure. Some examples:
- Database testing (JPA)
- Arquillian, exploring container testing, EJB testing and more
- Email testing
- SOAP testing using SoapUI
- LDAP testing
- JMS testing
Selenium WebDriver is an open source automation tool for test driving browsers. People sometimes find the API daunting and their initial automation code brittle and poorly structured. In this introduction, Alan Richardson provides hints and tips gained from his years of experience both using WebDriver and helping others improve their use of the tool. Alan starts at the beginning, explaining the basic WebDriver API capabilities—simple interrogation and navigation—and then moves on to synchronization strategies and working with AJAX applications. He covers tools and location strategies to find elements on web pages using CSS and XPath. Alan provides an introduction to abstraction approaches which help you build robust, reliable, and maintainable automation suites.
Good practices for debugging Selenium and Appium testsAbhijeet Vaikar

Throwing complexity over the wall: Rapid development for enterprise Java (Jav...Dan Allen
For many, development of enterprise Java has long been an arduous undertaking. We're of the opinion that application programmers should be free to focus on their business logic only.
In this session, we'll cover:
• What makes us most productive?
• What tasks should we be programming; more importantly, what shouldn't we?
• What is a component model, and what does it buy us?
• How is this stuff usable in the real world?
We'll discuss how testing relates to the features of the Java EE 6 stack. By the end, we'll have introduced a pair of simple and powerful frameworks that render the testing of real enterprise components as natural as calling "add" on a CS101 Calculator.java.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

4. A quote on testing
Perhaps one day, writing code without tests will be
considered as professionally irresponsible as
constructing a bridge without performing a
structural analysis.
Brian Goetz (JVM and concurrency guru)
author of Java Concurrency In Practice.

5. Why automate tests ?
Humans are errorprone by nature
Automated tests
Save time
●
Consume minimal resources on beefy hardware
●
Remove the drudgery from repetitive tasks
●
Can be run frequently
●
Are highly effective with continuous integration
●

6. Kinds of tests
Typically the following tests are done
Unit testing – development
●
Integration testing – development
●
Functional testing (includes load/perf testing) – QA
●
Acceptance testing – customers / product manager
●

7. When do you test ?
Agile shops are increasingly embracing TDD
Testing is a 1st class activity and should never be
done as an afterthought
Unit testing while developing code
Integration testing – while and after developing code
Functional testing – by QA after code complete
Load/perf testing – by QA after code compelete
Acceptance testing – by customers after QA is done

8. Unit testing
Always done by developers
In a TDD environment, tests are written before
writing code
TDD forces you to make your code testable and can
result in very clean design if done right
Code shouldn't be checked in without passing tests.
Run by developers before code checkin and by CI
system periodically (Daily / after code checkins)

9. Integration testing
Ideally done by both dvlp and QA (separately)
Involves more bigpicture tests
Focus is on collaboration of a number of objects
Fixtures to set up are more complex than unit tests
Typically touches aspects such as network (http, ftp,
smtp) and database interactions

10. Acceptance testing
Tests used to help define when a user story is done
Done every iteration and derived from user stories
A story isn't complete until all acceptance tests pass
Big bang acceptance testing occurs after code
complete and testcomplete
Onus is on customer/product manager to verify
correctness of acceptance tests
Automation of acceptance tests is strongly desired

11. Why use test frameworks ?
Absolutely mainstream in agile environments
Used by developers, QA and customers
Used to test all tiers of an enterprise app
Usually involves a learning curve – nothing is free
ROI can be substantial once mastered
Excellent way to achieve automation
Tests almost always experience a faster turnaround

12. Unit test frameworks
Junit 4.x* – unit test Java classes and interfaces
TestNG* – unit test Java classes and interfaces
EasyMock provides mock objects for interfaces in
JUnit/TestNG tests by generating objects on the fly
Both* heavily leverage Java5 annotations
Both* are supported by Java IDEs: IntelliJ, Eclipse
Both* are supported by build tools: Maven, Ant
Both* generate reports about failed tests & coverage

13. Integration test frameworks
DbUnit – used to test your persistence tier
XmlUnit – used to compare 2 XML documents
HttpUnit – used to interact with your webapp and
test forms, tables, links, etc.
Junit/TestNG with MockHttpServletRequest and
MockHttpServletResponse (Spring Framework) to
test your servlets
13
14. Integration test frameworks (cont'd)
Cactus – tests server components e.g. Servlets,
EJBs, servlet filters, JSP taglibs, etc.
SoapUI inspect, invoke and test web services over
HTTP (supported cleanly in Eclipse and IntelliJ)
14
15. Functional test frameworks
Abbot, JFCUnit, Marathon – Swing func test tools
Selenium – advanced tool to test your web app –
record, playback and run tests on a large grid.
Supports Java, Ruby, Python, Perl, PHP
JWebUnit – works with HtmlUnit and Selenium to
navigate your web app and verify correctness
Canoo WebTest – similar to JWebUnit – write rules
(tests) as Ant tasks or Groovy unit tests
15
16. Load / perf test frameworks
LoadRunner ($) generates load for backend
servers by emulating user requests
The Grinder – load test HTTP web servers, SOAP
and REST web services. Uses Jython for test scripts.
JUnitPerf – load and perf testing with Junit
TestNG – has annotations to give you control over #
concurrent requests and # threads e.g.
@Test(invocationCount = 100, threadPoolSize = 10

18. Other tools (continuous integration)
Consider using a separate build and continuous
integration (CI) server
Will quickly generate failed test reports with each
run. Developers should respond quickly
Hook up CI server with CM system (CVS / SVN)
and set up build times (daily / after each checkin)
Popular CI tools are Hudson, Continuum, Luntbuild,
CruiseControl, TeamCity ($)
