Automate Salesforce Releases with DevOps: Crawl, Walk, Run!Susmitha Vakkalanka
#DevOps for #Salesforce is increasingly getting imperative as it delivers on the promise of faster, safer releases
In this episode of #DevopsHuddle, we covered :
- Achieving DevOps optimization and CI/CD best practices for salesforce releases
- Why backup and recovery play a key role in Salesforce DevOps
- How to package metadata and object types into Dev, Test, and Production
- How to get better code security along with faster deployments
- And how to get governance and visibility for all your Salesforce pipelines
Who’ll primarily benefitted from this? DevOps Evangelists, Salesforce Developers, Automation Architects, Release Managers & Security Engineers!
In the past decade, testing efforts have been steadily shifting left—to earlier in the development lifecycle. For web apps, testing and testing automation have been gradually shifting—into development, design, and requirements. The test pyramid recommended by Google and agile experts is a distribution of 60 percent unit tests, 30 percent integration tests, and only 10 percent UI tests. Although practiced widely in the web world, this formula is often deemed impractical in mobile. Satyajit Malugu busts open this myth and gives you practical guidance to achieve the same test pyramid in your mobile test efforts. Satyajit shows how to emphasize unit tests and code coverage, implement continuous integration, and use dashboards for test and quality visibility. He shares experiences with mocking tools, emulators, partial integration tests, and a minimally focused set of UI tests—all before your app reaches the app store. Join Satyajit and take back the testing pyramid.

Everything You Need to Build a Risk-Based Testing Strategy for SAPWorksoft
SAP testing isn’t easy. Organizations are challenged to keep pace with an incredible (and growing) volume of enhancements, updates, upgrades, and new apps. But traditional SAP impact analysis is time consuming, costly, and difficult to manage. That’s why the world’s top companies are turning to risk-based testing. Here’s how you can get started too.
Implementing DevOps at Scale Using Dynamic EnvironmentsSauce Labs
While many tech startups have adopted modern devops practices, mid-size and large enterprises are still barely scratching the surface. They have the management mandate and some resources, but the results are less than convincing when the rubber hits the road: small scale initiatives seems to be the norm, but often have encountered difficulties when trying to expand beyond their initial scope.
How do you start this journey on the right footing?
Join Pascal Joly, Director of Technology Partnerships at Quali, as he discusses DevOps and what it really means when it comes to implementing and managing it for complex application architectures. Using case studies and real world experiences, he will cover how to move beyond the first project to get all of your Dev and Test teams to embrace DevOps concepts. He will also run a live demo.
In this session you can expect to learn about:
-The pitfalls organizations typically encounter as they deploy DevOps
-A practical approach to implementing DevOps at scale for an entire organization
-Managing dozens of application environments to certify through your pipeline
-Defining how much resources can be used by your development and test team
-How automated testing platforms such as Sauce Labs can be integrated in this process

Shift left - find defects earlier through automated test and deploymentClaudia Ring
Do you know how much time it takes or how that translates into dollars lost every time you fix a defect in development, QA, or Production? The cost of application failures or errors increases exponentially the further into the delivery pipeline they are when found. If application defects are discovered by end users in Production, or errors cause a Production outage, the cost can be thousands per second, in addition to the intangible loss of reputation.
So how do you begin to identify defects earlier in software development and prevent them from becoming major, costly errors later on? Join Al Wagner, IBM Technical Evangelist, as he discusses how to "shift left" and;
Incorporate service virtualization and automated testing into development for a more thorough and accurate representation of application quality
Integrate deployment automation with continuous testing to remove wait times on application promotion
Adopt best practices that have proven successful for IBM customers who are currently shifting left

Developing a Testing Strategy for DevOps SuccessDevOps.com
To achieve rapid time-to-market, businesses have embraced DevOps, which places a premium on speed and efficiency. But speed is not the only measure of DevOps success. To release better software faster, enterprises must optimize testing strategy and embed a culture of quality within their DevOps processes.
In this webinar, you will learn:
How to transform QA from a bottleneck to a speed enabler
How to integrate quality and increase visibility throughout the SDLC
How to help your VPs and Directors gauge the success of their current quality initiatives
Deck used at Keep Austin Agile 2018 with charts from audience pollings.
Enterprises want to deliver more value with higher quality at a faster pace. Many development teams have adopted agile frameworks to improve their ability to deliver software. This has led to a local optimization for the development teams and they have become good at delivering potentially shippable increments of their products, but from there, they typically see organizational constraints in moving it to the customer. The development organization is quickly adding features to the queue waiting to be released, but the operations teams are struggling to support fires in production, maintain stability, and provide the environments and infrastructure needed so development teams can move their new functionality forward. The operation team’s focus on stability usually minimizes the number of changes in production thus creating infrequent, large batches being deployed at a planned date. Can Agile and DevOps bring the development and operations teams together to remove the organizational constraints in moving the software to the customer?
In this session, we’ll talk about the relationship of Agile and DevOps, not as an intersection, but as a progression of capability with development and operation teams working together to remove those constraints. We’ll discuss how using Agile and DevOps practices together, teams can release value faster, with higher quality, and in more stable environments making it safer to deploy.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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).

No Consolidated Change Lists.
• Understanding of a process lies with the
business
• A single process can include 100s of steps
• Multiple sprints working in parallel but not
on the same board

“We struggle with knowing exactly what to test and exactly are business processes
are. With the adoption of the Fiori interface and SuccessFactors, we see things only
becoming more complicated.”

29. Key Considerations
End-to-End Business Process Testing
• Ownership of test creation and maintenance
• Test reuse/scalability – ability to feed CI/CT cycles
• UI version changes
• Compliance and audit requirements
• Impact on upstream and downstream system

“Our biggest concern is down time. We currently schedule at least 40 hours maintenance a
month and we are a 24/7 business. We have too many integrations with SAP today. One of
our biggest challenges is testing. Today, we have to get a bunch of people together to
build test scripts, then get those people back together in a room to execute tests, this is a big
waste of time.”
