Software development practices & Infrastructure as Code - how well do they wo...Equal Experts
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has rapidly become a key part of cloud native engineering. The hard gained experience from writing software can be applied to infrastructure, but fundamental differences means some fundamental approached need to be reconsidered. This talk will explore the implications for test driven development and build pipelines applied to IaC.
Jon Barber is an Engineer with Equal Experts.
He has been paid to write software for over 30 years, and has spent most of his time recently in the platform engineering space. He’s a keen advocate of XP values and practices, and sees himself more as an engineer than craftsman.
Delivered at NWEWT 3 in Liverpool, using a testability focus to solve testing related problems at their root rather than their symptoms. Focusing on two metrics, "time to start testing" and "unplanned downtime."

DevOps Tactical Adoption Theory tries to make the transition process as smooth as possible. It hypothesis each step towards DevOps maturity should bring a visible business value empowering management and team commitment for the next step. The innovative idea here, it is not required to add the tools/processes to stack from sequential beginning to end, but seeking benefit.
The reason behind the theory is to encourage practitioners to apply each step one-by-one and then having the benefits in projects. Consequently, each step is tested in terms of utility and proved method validity for the further steps. In contrast to previous adoption models, our model indicates concrete activities rather than general statements.
Theory built on the claim that many DevOps transition projects considered problematic, impractical or even unsuccessful causing concept to become a goal more than a technique. Basically, theory consists of different areas of interest describing various actions on a schema.
In the session, it is planned to demonstrate “DevOps Tactical Adoption Theory” with focus on Delivery Pipeline/Testing Practices sectioned "Continuous Testing in DevOps".
This presentation is a more interactive version of my DevOps and the Bottom Line talk. Specifically, it helps groups think about how the astonishing increases in throughput and stability can impact their own teams and organizations.
Automation in the Bug Flow - Machine Learning for Triaging and TracingMarkus Borg
Issue management is a costly part of software development. In large projects, the continuous inflow of issue reports contributes to the information overload in a project, i.e., "a state where individuals do not have time or capacity to process all available information". In issue triaging, an initial step in issue management, a developer must be able to overview existing issue reports and easily navigate the software engineering project landscape. In this presentation, we present support for two work tasks involved in issue management: 1) issue assignment and 2) change impact analysis. We use machine learning to harness the ever-growing number of issue reports, by training recommendation systems on previous issues. Our industrial evaluations on 50,000+ issue reports in two large software development organizations indicate that automated issue assignment performs in line with current manual work. Moreover, we present how traceability from already resolved issue reports to various artifacts can be reused to jump start change impact analyses for newly submitted issues. Finally, we speculate on future ways to tame information overload into helpful software engineering recommendations.

Where Testers and QA Fit in the Story of DevOps
Continuous delivery. CI. GitHub. Scrum. CD. Jenkins. Continuous testing. Continuous integration. These are just some terms that are supposed to describe the word soup that is DevOps. Chances are that you have heard some or all of these words being passed around at your daily stand ups or company meetings.
However, where does QA and testing fit into the story of DevOps? Some would say that developers and operations teams are all you need for a successful DevOps pipeline, while others show that Dev, Test and Ops need to be included to ensure quality at every step in your pipeline.
In this webinar, Ryan Yackel, QASymphony's Director of Product Marketing, and Sunil Sehgal, Managing Partner at TechArcis, will share their experiences as they navigate you through the DevTestOps waters. In this webinar you will learn:
Overview of the State of DevOps
Common misconceptions of DevOps and QA
How testers must adapt to the DevOps process
The tools testers need for continuous testing

Automated Database Deployment at SQL RallyGrant Fritchey
Deploying your database changes to production can be nerve-wracking. We'll discuss methods that take the stress out of the process by ensuring that you practise your deployments using continuous integration before you ever get near production. Automating the deployment and testing processes through your testing and pre-production environments can make the whole experience of production deployments more repeatable, more reliable and more robust.
In this session, we'll explore the concepts of continuous integration and continuous delivery for databases – what to consider, the challenges, the benefits, the testing, and the crucial approval gates necessary for a reliable production deployment. We'll discuss these and other release strategies as you think about how to evolve your deployment pipeline towards a more automated approach, starting with continuous integration and ending at your production systems.

These are the slides used in my #devone (www.devone.at) keynote presentation:
DevOps is one of the most abused and overrated marketing terms in the last years! That’s not an alternative fact! It’s just Andi’s opinion! Yet - it is a very real thing that allowed many software companies to transform the way they think about software engineering. DevOps can mean something totally different thought depending on who you are and what type of business your company is doing. To clarify things, Andi gives us insights on how he explains the benefits to “DevOps Newbies” and how software companies around the world implement it in their own ways. Andi will answer: What does it really mean for developers, testers and operators? What will change? How does Facebook deploy twice a day without big issues? How does DevOps work in financial, government or healthcare where you have tight regulations? Does it mean Devs are responsible for Ops? Does it only work in the cloud? Or can we apply it to “old fashioned” on premise software as well? Learn for yourself and make up your own mind on whether DevOps is just a marketing term or something that can benefit you!
Jan de Vries - How to convince your boss that it is DevOps that he wantsAgile Lietuva
- We all know that we could implement DevOps a lot faster if we only would have commitment from our boss. We all know that there is a shiny business case for almost every DevOps implementation
- And we all know that the whole company will reap the benefits regarding speed, agility and stability once we implemented DevOps. Actually, it provides good, fast and cheap at the same time. So, what are we waiting for? What is your boss waiting for? What is C-level waiting for?
- That’s something we will do research on in this workshop. We will also share our research on this from the recent past.
- The workshop starts with a presentation about 7 practices that a company should adopt to be able to apply DevOps.
- The technique that we use is called Appreciative Inquiry. To tackle a problem, it discovers the best practices that work, the reason they work and how these combined practices can be used to avoid the problem ahead and create a strategic change. The aim is to build – or even rebuild – organizations around what works, rather than trying to fix what doesn’t.
- So we want to know what your boss is afraid of and what you have already tried to convince him that he is better off with DevOps. You will leave the workshop with the combined Appreciative Inquiry insights of all the attendees
In Data Engineer’s Lunch #68, Will Angel, Technical Product Manager at Caribou Financial, will provide an introduction to DevOps practices and tooling including testing, deployment automation, logging, monitoring, and DevOps principles. Additionally, we will discuss some of the ways that DevOps for data engineering is different from conventional application development.

Feedback loops - the second way towards the world of DevOpsTapio Rautonen
The three ways define a philosophical journey to an unfinished world of IT development. Amplifying feedback loops, the second way, is about shortening and amplifying any bottlenecks preventing feedback to close a full circuit of continual improvement.
Aan de hand van onze visualisatie van de DevOps cyclus gaan we in deze sessie in op de verschillende mogelijkheden om DevOps te verbeteren. Uit welke fasen bestaat de DevOps cyclus, welke DevOps practices kunnen hier geïmplementeerd worden en hoe vertaal je dit naar jouw organisatie?
We gaan ook in op hoe je kunt bepalen waar je staat en waar je het meeste verbetering kunt realiseren.
Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present the latest research that uncovers what really drives business outcomes of market share, profitability, and productivity as well as DevOps transformation awesomeness... Hint: these need the right mix of IT, culture, and practice, and include continuous delivery and lean management. This exciting research was done with Jez Humble and Gene Kim, and is promising exciting new projects in the space.
What is the best way to measure DevOps performance? There are many ways that people have tried to measure productivity in software delivery in the past -- what works and what doesn’t? In this webinar, Dr. Nicole Forsgren and Robert Reeves will present some lessons learned about measuring software delivery and why it’s important. The webinar will also highlight the key factors driving DevOps performance and offer a preview to some of the challenges on the horizon.
Tune into this webinar to learn about:
Flaws in previous attempts to measure performance
What really matters (hint: focus on outcomes)
The four measures that are key to delivery performance
The *big* difference between high performers and the rest
Why maturity models don’t work
What high performers can do for their organizations
What challenges are up next in technology transformations… things like data, serverless, and security.

DevOps: Cultural and Tooling Tips Around the World
DevOps! One of the most abused terms in the software industry over the last few years. One of the reasons for this is that the term can mean something totally different, depending on what your role is, and what kind of business you are in. Yet, it is a very real practice with solid benefits that allow companies to build better quality software faster, and with lower cost and risk.
In this 30-minute “secret sauce” session, Andreas Grabner, DevOps Activist at Dynatrace, shares customer learnings and best practices from DevOps adopters around the world. You’ll gain insights from questions like:
• What does DevOps really mean for developers, testers and operators?
• How do companies like Facebook deploy twice a day without big issues?
• How does DevOps work in industries like finance, government, and healthcare where tight regulations exist?
• Is Dev responsible for Ops? Or only if you are working in a Cloud environment?
• What is different and unique as we move from old-fashioned on-prem software to hybrid and Cloud apps?
• Why is talking to people the forgotten DevOps tool?
Sure, we have all thought that continuous delivery is important in software delivery... now we have data to back it up. Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present new research that shows the central role that CD plays in Agile and DevOps, the key processes that contribute to it, and how it can not only impact your IT teams and company success, but how it can also make your work feel better. This extends her prior research showing why investments in IT are now impacting teams and organizations, how we got here, and what’s next. The presentation includes the data to help you prove your case (to management or even yourself) about why CD and DevOps are essential to winning, as well as great stories and examples to really bring these concepts to life. Nicole invites all DevOps practitioners to build their teams up so they can lead high performing organizations, and think about what they can do to affect change beyond their teams and their organizations.
DevOps by the Numbers - How to Approach the Measurement and Metrics of Your C...XebiaLabs
There’s no mistaking how important initiatives like DevOps and Continuous Delivery have become to organizations seeking to gain a competitive edge. But without the right metrics, enterprises that have adopted DevOps or Continuous Delivery strategies have no way of measuring their effectiveness in the context of their digital transformation goals. So what are the right measures that can answer questions like “are we getting better at delivering high-quality software faster and at scale?” and “has all this effort been worth it?!”
Learn ways to better measure the processes and output of your DevOps and Continuous Delivery transformation.
You'll also learn:
How to identify the best metrics for various stakeholders in your software development lifecycle
How to measure and demonstrate the business value and effectiveness of DevOps and Continuous Delivery processes and programs
How to address some of the challenges along your process that these metrics and KPI's may reveal
Software testing tools are evolving. More testing frameworks are emerging through the open source community and commercial vendors. In addition, we’re starting to see the rise of machine-learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in testing solutions.
Given this evolution, it is important to map the tools that match both the practitioners’ skills and their testing types. When referring to the testing practitioners, we mainly look at three different personas:
-The business tester
-The software developer in test (SDET)
-The software developer
These practitioners are tasked with creating, maintaining, and executing unit tests, build acceptance tests, integration, regression, and other nonfunctional tests.
In this webinar led by Perfecto’s Chief Evangelist, Eran Kinsbruner, you will learn the following:
-How should testing types be dispersed among the three personas and throughout the DevOps pipeline?
-What tools should each of these three personas use for the creation and execution of tests?
-What are the key benefits to continuous testing when mapped correctly?
DevOps, the fusing of software development (Dev) with IT operations (Ops) is growing in popularity. A maturing of the agile software development methodology, DevOps unites developers and IT operations to release high quality code into solidly performing environments more rapidly than is possible with traditional developer-to-ops handoffs. It solves a basic problem that arises with agile methodology, namely that quickly producing new code is of little use if it cannot be deployed on reliable infrastructure.
We nvestigate the ways that DevOps can generate a return on investment (ROI) for an organization that makes DevOps part of its IT strategy. DevOps certainly has great potential for business impact, with beneficial effects reaching far beyond the IT department. The ability to release high quality code efficiently confers benefits on both the income and expense sides of a business, measurable in hard dollars as well as intangible advantages such as increased brand equity.
Getting DevOps to pay off is far from a push-button process, however. CloudMunch offers a number of suggested practices based on its experience in DevOps with large enterprises. Business success with DevOps involves choreographing between people, organizational culture and the DevOps platform and tools. The paper explores practices related to setting up DevOps so that everyone on both Dev and Ops teams can get early, instant feedback on project work. In addition, it looks at practices to ensure that DevOps tools and processes can access the entire application lifecycle, which is critical to DevOps work.

My name is Anton, and I’m an IntelliJ IDEA addict. Whew, it feels good to say it out loud. The choice of IDE for developers is one of the most contentious debates in the software game. But why? After all, aren’t all IDEs more or less the same?
Perhaps you are Eclipse users who are interested in trying out IntelliJ IDEA, or perhaps considering the migration. Moving from Eclipse to IDEA can be quite overwhelming. My main purpose in writing this report is to show Eclipse users, specifically, how to get started using IDEA faster and with less headaches.

Lazy Coder's Visual Guide to RebelLabs' Developer Productivity Report 2013ZeroTurnaround
For a long time, developers have known that the tools we use and the methodologies we practice have an effect on the quality of our software and our ability to delivery releases predictably. However, this is often a gut feeling based on anecdotal evidence with no numbers to support this theory. Wouldn't be cool to see actual numbers on how doing Code Quality analysis, Pairing Up and using tools for VCS and Continuous Integration significantly improve our ability to delivery quality software? Then look no further.

The State of Managed Runtimes 2013, by Attila SzegediZeroTurnaround
There’s JVM, and that’s it, right? Well, not exactly. Even within JVM, there’s an increasing support for running all kinds of non-Java languages: we have invokedynamic, but it’s being improved, and new layers of functionality are emerging on top of it, making JVM a better home for all kinds of programming languages. There’s life outside of JVM too. JavaScript seems to be a new assembler-lever compilation target even for C programs (I’ll show some amusing examples of what exactly you can run these days in a browser) , and there are some independent efforts at managed runtimes in various stages of completion that seem promising – PyPy, Topaz, Rubinius, Parrot VM (it’s alive again!). This talk is admittedly a language-runtime-enthusiast’s walk-through the things he finds interesting happening this year. Recorded at GeekOut 2013.

Key Trends Shaping the Future of Infrastructure.pdfCheryl Hung
Keynote at DIGIT West Expo, Glasgow on 29 May 2024.

Sr Director, Infrastructure Ecosystem, Arm.
The key trends across hardware, cloud and open-source; exploring how these areas are likely to mature and develop over the short and long-term, and then considering how organisations can position themselves to adapt and thrive.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
1. A 5-min Ignite talk about how DevOps
beats Traditional IT Ops, every time.

2. Reminder: Why we want DevOps
● Traditionally siloed team structures don’t scale
● Opposing philosophies (Devs <3 change, Ops <3
stability)
● Continuously evolving technologies & needs require
more flexibility
How do DevOps teams spend their time each
week, compared to Traditional IT Ops teams?
4. DevOps vs. Traditional IT Ops:
Infrastructure improvements
What they're doing: testing processes and recovery
plans and making sure these things work
DevOps spends 33% more time improving infrastructure
against failures.
5. DevOps vs. Traditional IT Ops:
Handling Support
What they're doing: Handling support cases for
operations infrastructure - i.e. when things go wrong
Traditional IT Ops require nearly 60% more time per week
to handle support cases.
6. DevOps vs. Traditional IT Ops:
Firefighting
What they're doing: dropping everything to recover
from failures or fix something urgently.
DevOps spends about 21% less time putting out fires on a
weekly basis.
7. DevOps wins!
● 21% less time putting out fires
● 37% less time handling support cases.
● With that extra time, DevOps spends 33%
more time improving infrastructure, and
they even spend 15% more time on self-
improvement (education, training).
8. What about failures and recoveries?
● Average team has 2 app failures per
month
● Recovery time is >30min for over 50% of
all respondents.
10. DevOps vs. Traditional IT Ops:
Recovery times
● Traditional IT Ops teams are almost 2x
more likely to require 60+ minutes to
recover
● Recoveries in < 30min are 33% more likely
for DevOps teams than traditional IT Ops
11. Ok ok, so DevOps recover faster....
But what about releasing software?
Surely DevOps can't be THAT much
better?
Wrong.
12. Boom!
DevOps teams need less than HALF THE
TIME to release an application version (36.3
min vs. 85.1 min).
13. Quick summary so far...
● DevOps spends more time on improving
things and less time fixing things
● DevOps recovers from failures faster
● DevOps releases apps more than twice as
fast
Hmm, maybe it's in the tools they are using?
14. Top tools and technologies used by
DevOps and IT Ops teams
19. DevOps clearly wins, but still isn't
perfect (hey!)
● Most app failures still occur due to software quality
or lack of automation.
● Most teams have < 10% of their infrastructure
configured with code (i.e. using Puppet, Chef)
● Most teams have < 10% of their smoke tests
automated
● Most teams don't test their recovery processes
20. Thanks for your attention!
