This is a little presentation to make absolutely clear why test automation and test driven development are key to any software development process that strives for high quality and high productivity.
It’s not easy to perform a good code review. Often done in a hurry just to get it done, it only makes things worse. People treat it as an obstacle, not a helpful thing. I am gonna tell you why code reviews are important and how they can help you maintain good quality code. I will not only tell who are the code reviews for, how to raise a useful code review, but also how to perform a good code review in the quickest time possible.
Code reviews are a powerful tool in ensuring and maintaining quality in your application, but they can be very difficult to get right. When they're misunderstood or poorly executed, they can even make a bad situation worse.
In this session I'll use my professional experience to give you some tactics for getting great benefit from code reviews. We'll talk about tools, about process and most importantly about attitude! Whether you're a developer or a technical lead, come along and find out how to perform a genuinely useful code review and provide constructive feedback in the quickest time possible.

Static Analysis Techniques For Testing Application Security - Houston Tech FestDenim Group
Static Analysis of software refers to examining source code and other software artifacts without executing them. This presentation looks at how these techniques can be used to identify security defects in applications. Approaches examined will range from simple keyword search methods used to identify calls to banned functions through more sophisticated data flow analysis used to identify more complicated issues such as injection flaws. In addition, a demonstration will be given of two freely-available static analysis tools: FXCop and the beta version of Microsoft’s XSSDetect tool. Finally, some approaches will be presented on how organizations can start using static analysis tools as part of their development and quality assurance processes.
This presentation is about the following points ,
What is synchronization,
Methods to configure synchronization,
Test setting method,
Wait method,
WaitProperty method,
Exist method,
Sync method,
Those days, when it seemed, that web applications have overthrown standard “cumbersome” client apps, we’ll speak about present and future of consumer oriented desktop applications. This includes, but not restricted to patterns of LOB applications development with WPF, right multimedia support of DirectX bridge and new features, waiting for you in Windows 7. Also we’ll speak about subject oriented programming, will be introduced in NET. 4.0 and how to leverage it even today with the current version of Microsoft framework. tits will be shown during the session, thus restricted to mature audiences
This session will give an overview of Static Code Analysis, its impact on the SDLC, its benefits and problems, the various automated tools used, and a demonstration of the code analysis of a Javascript web application using Sonarqube.
Does your functional automation really add value?Anand Bagmar
We all know that automation is one of the key enablers for those on the CI-CD journey.
Most teams are:
• implementing automation
• talking about its benefits
• up-skilling themselves
• talking about tooling
• etc.
In my experience, unfortunately most of the functional automation that is built is:
• not optimal
• not fit-for-purpose
• does not run fast enough
• gives inconsistent feedback, hence unreliable
Hence, for the amount of effort invested in implementing automation, are you really getting the value from this activity?
In this talk, we will discuss these challenges and why it would lead to poor ROI of automation. More importantly, we will discuss the following techniques to make automation valuable:
• know the objective for the automation framework
• establish criteria for tests to be automated
• design your framework with proper abstraction layers
• develop using appropriate design patterns
Here are the slides from my tutorial on Scripting Recipes for Testers. In it I share a number of reusable scripts and some tips I learned writing them to help testers do their job better.
The scripts themselves can be found on my site (http://adam.goucher.ca) under the category 'GLSEC2008'
Continuous delivery requires more that DevOps. It also requires one to think differently about product design, development & testing, and the overall structure of the organization. This presentation will help you understand what it takes and why one would want to deliver value to your customers multiple times each day. #CIC

Beyond TDD: Enabling Your Team to Continuously Deliver SoftwareChris Weldon
Many project teams have adopted unit testing as a necessary step in their development process. Many more use a test-first approach to keep their code lean. Yet, far too often these teams still suffer from many of the same impediments: recurrent integration failures with other enterprise projects, slow feedback with the customer, and sluggish release cycles. With a languishing feedback loop, the enterprise continues to put increasing pressure on development teams to deliver. How does an aspiring agile team improve to meet the demands of the enterprise?
Continuous integration is the next logical step for the team. In this talk, you’ll learn how continuous integration solves intra and inter-project integration issues without manual overhead, the value added by continuous integration, and how to leverage tools and processes to further improve the quality of your code. Finally, we discuss the gold standard of agile teams: continuous deployment. You’ll learn how continuous deployment helps close the feedback loop with your customers, increases visibility for your team, and standardizes the deployment process.

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:

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
