How to Develop, Track, and Release Like a Boss Using Atlassian ToolsAtlassian
In 2015, Hitachi Vantara, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd., was using a traditional development approach for their internal IT front office application and releasing only every 2-3 months. But that just wouldn't cut it. The application, built on the Salesforce platform, was simply too important. When they moved to agile, the team realized they'd need to level up on communication, collaboration, and workflow automation. Intimidated, yet determined, Hitachi Vantara turned to Atlassian's cloud-based tools: Jira and Confluence for planning, tracking, and documentation; Bitbucket for collaborating on source code; Bitbucket Pipelines for continuous delivery; and the whole host of native integrations to tie it all together. This is the story of how they did it, and the results they achieved.

Tales of modernizing trello's web stackVincent Kok
The web community is a fast moving community and over the recent years, many great frameworks and tools have emerged. Technology changes made in the past are not always the right ones today. This applies to Trello’s web stack too. CoffeeScript and Backbone were great choices 7 years ago but there are better tools and frameworks available now, so the Trello team decided to update its stack. But, how does one tackle this and how do you make sure you continue to innovate product-wise while modernizing its web stack? This is what we will discuss in this session -- main drivers for modernizing, the reasoning for choosing for TypeScript, React and GraphQL and will discuss our strategy implementing it, including two failed attempts. When leaving this session you will have learned which tactics to apply when modernizing a web stack and warning signs to be aware off.

A Customer Success Journey Moving From Tasktop Sync to Tasktop Integration Hu...Tasktop
TIAA fully invested in Tasktop Integration Hub with 5 new integrations in February 2018 and also recently migrated 3 integrations from Sync to Hub. During this session, I will share our journey with Hub from original reluctance to switch from Sync to eager adoption after seeing it in action last October. I plan to share our redeployment story, the benefits of Hub, and of course share my technical tips and tricks! I’ve done some interesting work with extensions and the home grown error facility I built that either fixes errors or reports them from the errors retrieved using the Hub API. I’m also looking at performing automated testing of our integrations against new versions of Hub so that I can validate and adopt new Hub features much faster.

Leaning into Server to Cloud App MigrationAtlassian
Interest in Atlassian Cloud by Server (and Data Center) customers has been steadily increasing, propelled by new cloud capabilities like SAML authentication, SCIM provisioning, local data centers for performance, encryption at rest, guaranteed uptime, unlimited storage, and the ever-increasing availability of essential Marketplace apps.
To anticipate increasing demand, the time has come to develop a standard app migration framework that makes migrating app data from Server to Cloud feasible, intuitive, reliable, secure, and above all, self-serve.
In this talk, Chris Clarke will provide an overview of our emerging app data migration architecture, how it will integrate into our evolving Cloud Migration Assistants, and what we’d need from Marketplace vendors to make it work. App migration will be a key part of every customer’s migration journey and we will only be successful by working on it together.
A top focus for application development today is on acceleration, but faster is not always equal to better. The bigger challenge is to improve both the speed and quality of software releases. By utilizing virtualization technology, specifically service virtualization and virtual dev/test labs, in software development lifecycles, companies can increase test coverage in less time and ultimately produce better software faster.
HP Service Virtualization software allows development and testing teams to access limited or unavailable services in a simulated, virtual environment. This easy-to-use solution speeds application delivery, eliminates risks and reduces cost by virtualizing services within existing environments. By enabling parallel development and early functional testing, it eliminates wait times. HP Service Virtualization also reduces the use of high-cost, business-critical infrastructure or pay-per-use components for testing.
Come join us as the NYC Atlassian Community goes virtual with our first online meetup! Our first talk will be a recap by the NYC ACE Leaders of Atlassian Remote Summit 2020 announcements and breakout sessions. Boris Berenberg, from Atlas Authority, will then present some thoughts and approaches on handling the deluge of notifications from the ever growing suite of Atlassian products.
OpsGenie is an incident management tool but as part of its rich feature set, it has powerful integrations that allow you to implement the idea of auto-remediation. Auto remediation is an approach to automation that responds to events with automations able to fix or remediate, underlying conditions. In this session, Jaclyn Mazzarella, VP of Marketing, will show how you can take incident management to the next level by leveraging out of the box OpsGenie features.
Chirag Harenda, Senior Product Marketing Manager, will talk about those situations where building automation in Jira can backfire. Running JQL functions in script fields, slow workflow condition functions, adding javascript to the announcement banner, inline scripts and endless loops are among the most common pitfalls for a Jira admin. Jamie will show you how to avoid them and will share some handy advice for building powerful automation in a responsible and scalable way.
Good Jira automation just stays out of the way and helps you get things done without thinking about it. But building good automation isn’t always easy, even when you go beyond Atlassian’s built-in capabilities and use add-ons.
Organizational change is merely individual change carried out at scale. And like the changes we carry out as individuals, organizational change can vary between overwhelming, tedious, and refreshing. In order to understand how we can change our companies, or dare we say, the world, we need to understand change at the human level.
Join Kaylin Aarts of NOBL for an interactive session that explores resistance to change, as illustrated by real client stories and case studies. She’ll share the six types of loss employees experience during change, and you'll walk away with a framework for leading teams through authentic transformation.

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).

"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.

64. Jira Mesh
• 3rd party apps work with Jira
• How much they do for
themselves vs allow Jira to do
“its thing” is a question of
solution architecture
• Issues integrate with
Confluence and BitBam
• Apps which only introduce a
reconfigured issue add little
real value
• Apps that are stand alone lack
the benefits of integration
68. TM4J Pros and Cons
Pros
• Solid reporting (self-contained within the TM4J app)
• Self-containment within TM4J can simplify configuration and is beneficial to some classes
of users
• The simplified configuration is available at the project level providing more flexibility
• Feature rich offering
Cons
• Test entities/artifacts cannot easily be linked to Jira entities
• Jira filters are not available, nor traditional gadgets or dashboards for testing in Jira
• Third party apps can't be used without specific integrations (no issue types); eg planning
apps, time management, reporting and others
• Scalability is an open question
• Lack of native code and build integrations
73. XRAY Pros/Cons
Most feature rich Jira server based app for testing
• Fully meshed with Jira
• Very strong test case repository
• Advanced email notifications
• Superior hierarchical traceability
• Excellent integration capabilities
• Excellent documentation that ties testing processes more integrally with the app.
Cons
• Involves a layer of additional configuration management which some
organizations may find "unyieldy“
• For very large instances some scalability concerns
78. Zephyr Pros and Cons
Pros
• Has a native importer
• Fastest, easiest app to set up, use and configure
• Test steps can be cloned across issues
• Easy to create new tests or defects
• Generally easy to use and intuitive interface
Cons
• Weak on preconditions for test cases
• Enabled globally rather than at the project level
• Not strong on email notifications
• Importing tests from different tools
• Is expensive when also including Zapi vs X Ray and J4MT
• Folder structure is a new feature and is tied only to test cycles.

82. Findings APEX
This analysis doesn’t take into account automation – X Ray is
the clear winner in this category
83. Recommendations
• If you are a smaller organization with say less than 100-200 IT staff
and want a simpler application for testing – Zephyr could be a great
choice. Bear in mind that Zephyr is the most expensive app however.
• If you are a larger organization and testing is fairly
“compartmentalized” and you want less Jira administration and don’t
need integrations/automated testing TM4J is an option
• If you are a larger enterprise and looking for a full strength, highly
configurable solution for testing – go for Xray – it’s the winner also
on price
