AGENDA

THE ISSUES
•  What’s Wrong?

THE SOLUTIONS
•  The New Branch and Defect Model
•  The Atomic Merge Tool – Logical Flow
•  Integration with Defect-Tracking

CONCLUSIONS
•  Achievements
•  Remaining Issues

Q@A

THE ISSUES – What’s wrong with this version tree?

THE ISSUES

•  Anarchic Branching
•  Merge-phobia, unable to merge
•  Tremendous loss in productivity

Stubborn and egregiously harmful institutional habits
formed over the years. Migrating to continuous
integration exacerbated the issues.

THE SOLUTIONS – New Branch Model

•  The branch model and naming conventions

THE SOLUTIONS – New Defect Model

•  The defect model and Perforce directory structure

THE SOLUTIONS – The merge tool

•  No significant change in merge habit
•  Improvement limited on the Defect-tracking side
•  Divergent branches still an issue

Based on “p4 integrate” of P4PERL, implemented an
auto-merge tool to merge daily atomically among
branches.

THE SOLUTIONS – The atomic merge tool

•  Logical flow chart of the merge tool

THE SOLUTIONS – The atomic merge tool

A few assumptions:

•  Changelist restricted within a project branch
•  Merge occurred among the tips
•  Exclusions override the atomic rule

THE SOLUTIONS – Integration with defect-tracking

THE SOLUTIONS – The atomic merge tool

A few more points:

• Web interface for ad hoc merge requests
• Integration with the continuous integration tool
• Running quality tool as a step of post-merge verification

CONCLUSIONS

Achievements:

•  A set of branching and merging policies are established
and implemented
•  Atomic merge tool is successfully adopted by many
teams and sites
•  Over 95% of automatic merge rate, significantly
reduced manual work and enhanced productivity

CONCLUSIONS

Remaining issues:

•  How to prevent merge-up?
•  “p4 integrate” doesn’t always recognize duplicated
check-ins.
•  Significant number of project teams not on board yet.

Free Yourself From the MS Office Prison

Perforce

Companies that track requirements, create traceability matrices, and complete audits - especially for compliance - run into many problems using only Word and Excel to accomplish these tasks. Most notably, manual processes leave employees vulnerable to making costly mistakes and wasting valuable time. These outdated tracking procedures rob organizations of benefiting from four keys to productivity and efficiency: -Automation -Collaboration -Visibility -Traceability However, modern application lifecycle management (ALM) tools solve all of these problems, linking and organizing information into a single source of truth that is instantly auditable. Gerhard Krüger, senior consultant for Helix ALM, explains how the right software supports these fundamentals, generating improvements that save time and money.

Automation in the world of project

Zbyszek Mockun

The world of a software house is a constant search for compromise between quality and costs. In many cases, the cost-cutting starts from the test automation. Then you start to talk about ROI but recognize that numbers are not on your side. We were there and what we have found out is that only a complete change in our approach allows us to find common ground with our clients. I will reveal one detail from the presentation - we are not talking about test automation with clients anymore - as a result we do it more and more. Are you surprised that success automatically generates new challenges which we further translate into opportunities? We had to reconsider our approach to the test automation environment, internal frameworks and the way we share them between projects, including code ownership, … And again, one simple but unobvious solution allows us to both deliver what we promise and to earn more on our projects. As we have been reshaping our approach to the test automation, we had to change the way of delivery too. One of the main decisions was skip out the role of test automation engineer (or software developer in test). We decided to go with the whole team approach which is consistent with the way we sell it. Find it interesting? Join me and listen to our story about how we have transformed test automation.

Performance Testing in the Agile Lifecycle

Lee Barnes

Traditional large scale end-of-cycle performance tests served enterprises well in the waterfall era. However, as organizations transition to agile development models, many find their tried and true approach to performance testing—and their performance testing resources—becoming somewhat irrelevant. The strict requirements and lengthy durations just don’t fit in the context of an agile cycle. Additionally, investigating system performance at the end of the development effort misses out on the early stage feedback offered by an agile approach. And it’s more important than ever that today’s agile-built systems perform. So how can agile organizations ensure optimum performance of their business critical systems? Lee Barnes discusses why agile teams need to change their thinking about performance from a narrow focus on testing to a broader focus on analysis—from a people, process and technology perspective. Take back techniques for shifting your performance testing/analysis earlier in the development cycle and extracting performance data that is immediately actionable.

Building a Test Automation Strategy for Success

Lee Barnes

Choosing an appropriate tool and building the right framework are typically thought of as the main challenges in implementing successful test automation. However, long term success requires that other key questions must be answered including: - What are our objectives? - How should we be organized? - Will our processes need to change? - Will our test environment support test automation? - What skills will we need? - How and when should we implement? In this workshop, Lee will discuss how to assess your test automation readiness and build a strategy for long term success. You will interactively walk through the assessment process and build a test automation strategy based on input from the group. Attend this workshop and you will take away a blue print and best practices for building an effective test automation strategy in your organization. • Understand the key aspects of a successful test automation function • Learn how to assess your test automation readiness • Develop a test automation strategy specific to your organization

How to Organize Game Developers With Different Planning Needs

Perforce

Different skills have different needs when it comes to planning. For a coder it may make perfect sense to plan work in two-week sprints, but for an artist, an asset may take longer than two weeks to complete. How do you allow different skills to plan the way that works best for them? Some studios may choose to open up for flexibility – do whatever you like! But that tends to cause issues with alignment and siloes of data, resulting in loss of vision. Lost vision in the sense that it is difficult to understand, but also — and maybe more importantly — the risk of losing the vision of what the game will be. With the right approach, however, you can avoid these obstacles. Join backlog expert Johan Karlsson to learn: -The balance of team autonomy and alignment. -How to use the product backlog to align the project vision. -How to use tools to support the flexibility you need.

Understanding Compliant Workflow Enforcement SOPs

Perforce

If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen. When it comes to compliance, if you’re doing the work, you need to prove it. That means having well-documented SOPs (standard operating procedures) in place for all your regulated workflows. It also means logging your efforts to enforce these SOPs. They show that you took appropriate action in any number of scenarios, which can be related to regulations, change requests, firing of an employee, logging an HR compliant, or anything else that needs a structured workflow. But when do you need to do this, and how do you go about it? In this webinar, Tom Totenberg, our Helix ALM senior solutions engineer, clarifies workflow enforcement SOPs, along with a walkthrough of how Perforce manages GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) requests. He’ll cover: -What are SOPs? -Why is it important to have this documentation? -Example: walking through our internal Perforce GDPR process. -What to beware of. -Building the workflow in ALM.

Branching Out: How To Automate Your Development Process

Perforce

If you could ship 20% faster, what would it mean for your business? What could you build? Better question, what’s slowing your teams down? Teams struggle to manage branching and merging. For bigger teams and projects, it gets even more complex. Tracking development using a flowchart, team wiki, or a white board is ineffective. And attempts to automate with complex scripting are costly to maintain. Remove the bottlenecks and automate your development your way with Perforce Streams –– the flexible branching model in Helix Core. Join Brad Hart, Chief Technology Officer and Brent Schiestl, Senior Product Manager for Perforce version control to learn how Streams can: -Automate and customize development and release processes. -Easily track and propagate changes across teams. -Boost end user efficiency while reducing errors and conflicts. -Support multiple teams, parallel releases, component-based development, and more.

Hybrid Development Methodology in a Regulated World

Perforce

In a regulated industry, collaboration can be vital to building quality products that meet compliance. But when an Agile team and a Waterfall team need to work together, it can feel like mixing oil with water. If you're used to Agile methods, Waterfall can feel slow and unresponsive. From a Waterfall perspective, pure Agile may lack accountability and direction. Misaligned teams can slow progress, and expose your development to mistakes that undermine compliance. It's possible to create the best of both worlds so your teams can operate together harmoniously. This is how to develop products quickly, and still make regulators happy. Join ALM Solutions Engineer Tom Totenberg in this webinar to learn how teams can: - Operate efficiently with differing methodologies. - Glean best practices for their tailored hybrid. - Work together in a single environment.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days

Kari Kakkonen

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024 Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan 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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs

Alex Pruden

This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
