Pay pal paypal continuous performance as a self-service with fully-automated...Dynatrace
PayPal's ongoing leadership as an industry innovator requires faster development cycles and increased adoption of continuous testing practices. For special efforts, the development teams needed more frequent feedback about application performance, scalability limitations and variances between builds. Accelerating the frequency of performance simulations would help increase the rate of innovation and improve the quality of code delivered to production.
In this session we'll review some the automation techniques that helped PayPal Credit increase testing feedback from a monthly effort to a nearly-continuous daily activity. We'll spend time looking at the benefits of a fully-automated, actionable performance feedback loop that delivers performance feedback to developers in hours rather than weeks or months. Additionally, we will take a closer look at how these changes impacted the culture of development and operations, improving both the quality of critical thinking about performance and the value delivered back to the business.
This "Secret Sauce" session will include conceptual learnings and hands-on demonstration:
- What a continuous performance environment looks like and the benefits it brings to your DevOps team
- How to create a parallel pipeline for on-demand performance feedback using JIRA, Rundeck, JMeter and Dynatrace
- Where and how to leverage performance feedback to optimize flow
- How to get engineers on-board and excited about building better performant code
Recently I was asked to explain what dev-ops is at a large enterprise software vendor undergoing transformation.
In these slides, I present the concepts, tools and mindset that drive DevOPS.

A paradigm shift for testing - how to increase productivity 10x!Vasco Duarte
European IT industry need to deal with a huge salary gap with developing countries.
How can we increase our productivity and quality to compensate for the salary differences? This is a systems-thinking / Lean based approach to that problem
"Shift Left" is a DevOps practice that provides an effective means to perform testing with or in parallel to development activities.
When shifting left, development, test and operations work together to plan, manage and execute automated and continuous testing to accelerate feedback to developers and improve the quality of changes early in the life-cycle. The rate of the accelerated feedback is determined by an organization’s desired outcomes for velocity of changes and capacity for feedback.

Designing Self-maintaining UI Tests for Web ApplicationsTechWell
Test automation scripts are in a constant state of obsolescence. New features are added, changes are made, and testers learn about these changes long after they've been implemented. Marcus Merrell helped design a system in which a "model" is created each time a developer changes code that affects the UI. That model is checked against the suite of automated tests for validity. Changes that break the tests are apparent to the developer before his code is even checked in. Then, when features are added, the model is regenerated and automation can immediately address brand-new areas of the UI. Marcus describes fundamental test design and architecture best practices, applicable to any project. Then he demonstrates this new approach: parsing an application's presentation layer to generate an addressable model for testing. Marcus shows several case studies and successful implementations, as well as an open-source project that can have you prototyping your own model before you leave for home.
Comprehensive Performance Testing: From Early Dev to Live ProductionTechWell
Although the idea of doing performance testing throughout the software lifecycle sounds simple enough, as soon as you try to combine the concepts of “always testing” (in dev, pre-prod, and production) with “limited time and resources” and throw in the word “comprehensive,” the challenges can be monumental. Quickly the “how” of it emerges as the most important question—and one worth focusing on. Brad Stoner tackles this topic by explaining how he has been able to solve this seemingly impossible puzzle by applying various approaches such as early and often, learning when to say no, and seriously, I did say no—and more. Brad shares concrete examples of how he has successfully implemented full lifecycle performance testing at several companies. Join Brad to learn what performance tests to run at each development and delivery stage—from a simple load profile on a single server to full-scale soak tests over several days.

DOES14 - Gary Gruver - Macy's - Transforming Traditional Enterprise Software ...DevOps Enterprise Summmit
Gary Gruver, Vice President of QE, Release and Operations, Macy's, at DevOps Enterprise Summit 2014
Transforming Traditional Enterprise Software Development Processes by applying DevOps and Agile Principles at Scale
How to transform traditional Enterprise Software development processes by applying DevOps and Agile principles at scale instead of the more typical approach of scaling scrum. This approach starts with clarity in business objectives for the transformation. Next it highlights the importance of creating an Enterprise level continuous improvement process, which is very different from an aggregation of team level continuous improvement process. One of the most important steps for creating an Agile Enterprise is keeping code releasable across the Enterprise. This presentation will go deep on the fundamentals of Devops, CI, and CD based on what has been found to be successful transforming legacy organizations. The final step will provide a framework for re-thinking the planning process to provide an Enterprise level backlog and long-term commitments.

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).

4. Old Way: Performance Testing Has Been a
Lab Exercise
Dev & Test Lab Production EnvironmentDEPLOY
Performance Testing Challenges:
• Linear, multi-step approaches
• Non-correlated, offline analysis
• Disconnected teams
• Costly test hardware
• Non-scalable performance tools
• Time-intensive setup
• Inability to hit realistic scale
Status Quo:
Small test window prior
to release
• Build Test
• Setup

5. Dev & Test Lab
Old Way: Problem Isolation Has Been a
Lab Exercise
Problem Isolation Challenges:
• Agile methodology increases change
• SOA increases complexity
• Data volumes differ from prod
• Hardware specs differ from prod
• Profilers slow application down
• Reliability over Scalability
Status Quo:
Applications still crash
and run slow in prod
• Build Test
• Setup
Environment
Run
• Response
Times
• Exceptions
Analyze • Fix Code
• Optimize

6. Agile development cycles compress test cycles
• Days vs. weeks
• Incomplete knowledge transfer from Dev to Test to Ops
• Difficult to simulate every user session variation
What’s Changed?
Costly to simulate peak loads in test environments
• Performance testing & optimization need to change, too…
Production environments are difficult to replicate
• Horizontal scaling requires many commodity servers
• Transaction volumes have Increased with Web & mobile commerce
• Large data sets are difficult to replicate
7. New Way: Test & Monitor your Applications
from Lab into Production
Dev & Test Lab Production Environment
Start small,
early to root
out code-
level issues
Isolate & fix
performance
issues in the
lab
Hit expected
scale in
staging and
maintenance
windows
Detect
problems in
both real and
synthetic
sessions
Recheck
regularly for
regression
and capacity
Solve issues
as they occur
in the
lifecycle

9. “But, Testing in Production Is SCARY!”
(Isn’t it?)
It is when using tools & approaches never intended for
the complexity & magnitude of modern environments
SPEED – able to deploy and gain
insight within minutes
SCALE – simulate any number of
geographically disperse users
REAL TIME ANALYSIS – access
to all performance info as issues
occur
CONTROL – Stop, Start, Modify,
Pause user traffic as tests run
These Key Criteria eliminate RISK & make
Production Testing a critical requirement!
10. The Convergence of Real-Time Testing &
Production Monitoring is HERE NOW!
