Continuous Integration (CI) involves integrating code changes frequently from developers, verifying that the integrated code works with automated builds and tests. This allows problems to be detected early. With CI, developers commit code changes to a source repository. A CI server then checks out the changes, builds the code, and runs tests to catch any errors. The server notifies the team of build failures so issues can be addressed quickly. Metrics from CI builds provide insight into the health of the project.
How We Build Confidence with Continuous Integration and Automated TestingGareth Marland
Continuous integration and automated front end testing provide a small development team confidence in their work without a dedicated testing team. The solution involves running unit tests and automated front end tests on every code check-in through a continuous integration process managed across three servers for building, testing, and staging. This allows any new features to be constantly tested as they are added, catching issues early and providing confidence that changes did not break existing functionality.
How to write better tests with Test Driven DevelopmentAlex Hoffman
The document discusses test-driven development (TDD) and how to use it to write better tests. TDD involves writing tests before production code to validate requirements in small iterations. Tests are written to initially fail, then production code is written to pass each test, ensuring all requirements are implemented. Following TDD principles helps developers think through code systematically and prevents unnecessary complexity.
The document discusses different types of software testing including unitary tests, integration tests, and instrumentation tests. It provides examples of how unitary tests can be used to develop regular expressions, parse deep links, improve an invoice generator, and refactor legacy code. Tips are provided on following a given-when-then style for unitary tests and testing one thing at a time. Integration tests and instrumentation tests are discussed for developing APIs and testing apps end-to-end. Continuous integration and continuous delivery are also summarized.
One of the challenges faced by many web development based projects is the integration of source code for multiple releases during parallel development. The task to build and test the multiple versions of source code can eat out the quality time and limit the efficiency of the development/QA team. The case study focuses to resolve the issues of extensive effort consumed in build and deployment process from multiple branches in source repository and aim at Identification of source code integration issues at the earliest stage. This can further be enhanced to limit the manual intervention by integration of build system with test automation tool.
The above can be achieved by using different CI tools (like Hudson/Bamboo/TeamCity/CruiseControl etc) for continuous build preparation and its integration with any test automation suite. The case study specifies the use of CI-Hudson tool for continuous integration using ANT tool for build preparation and further invoking the automation test suite developed using selenium. It also discusses the limitations and challenges of using such an integration system for testing a web based application deployed on Apache Tomcat server. It also details additional plugins available to enhance such an integration of multiple systems and what can be achieved using the above integration.
This document discusses continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and DevOps. It defines CI as integrating code changes frequently, such as daily, and verifying them through automated builds and tests. CD builds on CI by making software deployable at any time by prioritizing deployments over new features and enabling anyone to deploy any version on demand. For developers, CD provides immediate feedback and the ability to test in production-like environments. For system admins, CD allows automating environments for developer testing. For businesses, CD lowers deployment risks and improves market responsiveness.

CI can help teams build better software faster and with more confidence.
The document compares Lightning Process Builder and Workflows. It states that Process Builder allows automating business processes visually by defining criteria and associated actions. It has advantages over Workflows like allowing multiple steps in one process, performing more tasks, and offering more flexibility. Workflows have limits of 50 active rules and 2,000 total rules per org, which can impact performance. Process Builder has higher limits and is the recommended approach by Salesforce for automating processes.
This document discusses the benefits of unit testing by describing common problems that unit tests can help address, such as bugs found late in the development process, services that do not work as expected when integrated, difficulties with code changes requested by clients, and delays in schedules due to unexpected bugs. It defines what a unit test is and explains that while unit tests take more time initially, they help developers be confident in their code, welcome changes, and achieve good test coverage during each sprint.

Gauge is a free open source test automation framework released by creators of Selenium, ThoughtWorks. Test automation with Gauge framework is used to create readable and maintainable tests with languages of your choice. Users who are looking for integrating continuous testing pipeline into their CI-CD(Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery) process for supporting faster release cycles. Gauge framework is gaining the popularity as a great test automation framework for performing cross browser testing.
Continuous integration (CI) is a software development practice where developers regularly merge their code changes into a central repository after which automated builds and tests are run. Without CI, projects can experience insufficient testing, slow release processes, and harder to fix issues which can lead to project delays and inflexible code bases. CI introduces a smoother integration process with automated testing, regular working releases, and the ability to find and fix issues faster by delivering code continuously and having QA teams test frequently.
Rainforest QA is a platform that allows teams to do functional testing at the speed of automation by leveraging both manual and automated testing. It treats manual QA testing like automation by having tests written in plain English and sent to Rainforest testers to run, with results returned in around 30 minutes. This enables teams to test early and often to support faster development cycles without sacrificing quality. The platform integrates with existing development tools and processes.
A build pipeline refers to the automated process of building software by breaking it down into discrete steps. This document discusses how TeamCity, a build management and continuous integration tool, can be used to create build pipelines.

This document discusses the principles and benefits of continuous delivery. It defines continuous delivery as enabling an application to be built, tested, and ready for deployment to production at any time. The key principles are to automate everything, keep all code and releases in source control, and ensure quality is built in from the start. Continuous delivery provides benefits like instant feedback, low risk changes, and faster delivery of value to customers. It also impacts development practices like enabling shorter sprints in Scrum and promoting test-driven development.
Release software is no less important than activities that precede it.
The Continuous Delivery is a set of practices and methodologies that build an ecosystem for the software development lifecycle.
We will see how to build this ecosystem around the applications developed, for which this release activities becomes a low-risk, inexpensive, fast and predictable.
How frequently does a good agile team deploy to production? Not every team is capable of deploying "on every commit". What does it take for a team to even start deploying at the end of each sprint, or each week, or each day?
Most companies don't realize that deploying more frequently often requires both significant technical change as well as cultural change. In this talk, I'll guide you through what it takes to deploy more frequently, both from the technical side of setting up pipelines as well as the organizational side of removing red tape. I'll draw on the unique challenges that teams must overcome at each step of the way, from deploying once a month all the way down to full continuous delivery. If your team has been struggling to go faster, come see how you can change to get there. And if you already are at full continuous delivery, come see how to go even faster than that!

SpringOne Platform 2017
Marcin Grzejszczak, Pivotal; Cora Iberkleid, Pivotal
"“I have stopped counting how many times I’ve done this from scratch” - was one of the responses to the tweet about starting the project called Spring Cloud Pipelines. Every company sets up a pipeline to take code from your source control, through unit testing and integration testing, to production from scratch. Every company creates some sort of automation to deploy its applications to servers. Enough is enough - time to automate that and focus on delivering business value.
In this presentation we’ll go through the contents of the Spring Cloud Pipelines project. We’ll start a new project for which we’ll have a deployment pipeline set up in no time. We’ll deploy to Cloud Foundry and check if our application is backwards compatible so that we can roll it back on production."

Putting Quality First through Continuous TestingTechWell
Capital One has a highly integrated environment, which creates many dependencies for its agile teams. Because these dependencies are often not completed until late in their sprints, Capital One faced prolonged integration and regression testing phases, and did not realize the expected improvements in quality or time to market. As technology leaders pushed for continuous delivery, testing needed to “shift left” and execute test in real time concurrently with development. Adam Auerbach shares Capital One’s experience implementing continuous testing. He explains the core principles of continuous testing, service virtualization, and the continuous integration/continuous delivery pipeline—and why testers need to understand and leverage these important concepts. Adam believes that testers need to learn basic development skills, including Ruby and Java, so they can take advantage of advanced automation practices. Because continuous testing is not easy and many companies have large populations of manual testers, Adam will provide a learning map to help you plan your personal and team’s transition.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
This talk will cover ScyllaDB Architecture from the cluster-level view and zoom in on data distribution and internal node architecture. In the process, we will learn the secret sauce used to get ScyllaDB's high availability and superior performance. We will also touch on the upcoming changes to ScyllaDB architecture, moving to strongly consistent metadata and tablets.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
