Modern software release cycles are getting shorter and shorter. Modern development languages and frameworks enable developers to produce new features faster than ever. With the trend of shorter sprints and a general move towards continuous delivery it is becoming more and more difficult to get everything ready to release without testing becoming a bottleneck.
Existing testing processes cannot keep up with the rapid release pace demanded by more and more companies. So what can we do about this? One approach is to turn your development team into testers, get them to think more like a tester thereby reducing the number of issues that get past the developers IDE. But does this work and how do you go about doing it?
In this session I will explain what we have done to help our developers become testers. I'll talk about the challenges we faced as well as the benefits that it brought for our projects. We'll also look at what impact this had on the developers and more crucially on the testers.

The Agile Manifesto captured the mindset of 17 software delivery thought leaders in how they wanted to deliver software. Since then the agile landscape has exploded with all sorts of different tools, techniques and practices.
In my experience the adoption of agile focuses heavily on implementing the processes, tools and techniques. But, true agility is achieved by the people within the organisation adopting the agile mindset.
This talk is all about the agile journey GoCompare has taken and, more importantly, contains an experience report of developing an agile mindset at all levels of the organisation.

Writing software has been compared to many other professions such as science, engineering, architecture, craft and art. However, while these analogies can be useful, nearly all of them assume that the goal is a finished product. One that might require the odd bit of maintenance and occasional bit of redecoration perhaps, but fundamentally, a more or less static, completed artefact.
Today's networked software ecosystems are complex, dynamic environments. Security updates, changing cloud APIs, new web technologies and mobile operating systems, all contribute to a ever-evolving context that developers have to contend with while creating apps and services. We need a fresh analogy to draw inspiration from.
In this session I propose that writing software should be treated more like gardening and look at the ways this analogy can help when thinking—and perhaps more importantly, talking—about the design, development and maintenance of today's systems.

The trials and tribulations of providing engineering infrastructure TechExeter
The document discusses lessons learned from running engineering infrastructure at Arm. It discusses several key points:
1) Shared infrastructure can lead to compromise and additional effort with no value if used for multiple disciplines. Specialized environments for each discipline are preferred.
2) Automation is critical to avoid inefficiencies from rapid growth outpacing manual processes. Automate where possible.
3) Ubiquitous shared storage breeds laziness and poor data management practices that do not scale. More controlled use of storage is needed.
4) Educating engineers on responsible infrastructure use is important, as not all have expertise in large-scale systems. Partnership and guidance is preferred over being solely "the police".

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
