This document provides an overview of DevTestOps. It begins with defining DevTestOps as bringing together DevOps principles with a focus on quality assurance. It discusses key aspects like risk appetites, strategic objectives, paths of communication, and testing practices at different stages. These include unit, integration, end-to-end testing as well as monitoring, logging and testing in production. It emphasizes implementing testing practices throughout the DevOps pipeline and describes different types of tests within a DevOps process like orchestration testing. The document aims to help understand where testing fits in DevOps and how to become a competent DevTestOps team member.
Introduction to DevOps covering:
- Why DevOps
- How to build DevOps Teams in your organization
- Cloud Tools you can use for DevOps (Azure and AWS)
- Legacy Software and DevOps
- What is the Future of DevOps
- People to Follow
In this session we will take an introduction look to Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery workflow.
This is an introduction session to CI/CD and is best for people new to the CI/CD concepts, or looking to brush up on benefits of using these approaches.
* What CI & CD actually are
* What good looks like
* A method for tracking confidence
* The business value from CI/CD
When DevOps talks meet DevOps tactics, companies find that Continuous Integration is the make or break point. And implementing CI is one thing, but sustainable CI takes a little bit more consideration. CI is not all about releases, it is also about knowing more about how your software delivery pipeline works, it's weak points, and how you are doing over time.
Join CloudBees and cPrime as we discuss best practices for facilitating DevOps pipelines with Jenkins Workflow and reveal how the workflow engine of Jenkins CI and “Agilecentric” Devops practices together, support complex control structures, shortens the development cycle, stabilizes environments and reduces defects.

Managing one or two unique machines in an ad-hoc manner is not a story that many people talk about nowadays. Today, small teams need to manage hundreds or thousands of nodes, serving a myriad of purposes, running any number of critical Dev and Ops workloads. And they have to do it in a way that still leaves time for unplanned and strategic work.

Despite the belief that a shared context and collaboration drives quality, too often, software testers and quality professionals struggle to find their place within today's integrated agile teams. This session is a practitioner’s view of testing and testing practices within an iterative/incremental development environment. We will begin with a discussion of some of the challenges of testing within an agile environment and delve into the guiding principles of Agile Testing and key enabling practices. Agile Testing necessitates a change in mindset, and it is as much, if not more, about behavior, as it is about skills and tooling, all of which will be explored.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan 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.

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).

33. What is DevTestOps?
DevOps with Quality Assurance as the
focul point
Bringing Planit’s Strengths in Agile,
Automation, Engineering and Quality
Assurance together
Implementation of Testing practices
throughout the DevOps End to End
process
36. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
Strategic Objective
What does the organisation want versus what they need?
● Speed To Market
● Product Quality
● Or Stability of the Production Environment
37. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
Paths To Communication - 5 Steps
1. Identify - Anyone who works outside of your team
2. Connect - Make connections with each individual
3. Invite - Widen the connection by bringing in new
people
4. Mark - Recording the communication for future
use
5. Widen - the path through activities that engage
38. What is DevTestOps?
Testing pyramid
● The reality is Test Automation is
expensive and takes a long time to
implement
● Micro service testing is quick to execute
but still costly to develop
● Unit testing requires dedication, discipline
and a FAITH
39. What is DevTestOps?
The Bug filter
● Bugs move between layers
● A good start but not complete
40. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
The Bug filter - Unit Sorting
Smaller bugs are caught by smaller filters while larger bugs are caught by larger
filters
41. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
The Bug filter - Unit Sorting
● Six layers to the DevOps bug filter.
● Top three are for testing that occurs in the development
environment
○ unit testing
○ integration testing
○ and end-to-end testing
● Bottom three are for the information that is captured in production
that can be used to detect bugs and determine product quality
○ Alerting
○ Monitoring
○ and logging
42. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
Creating Tests At Each Filter
Unit Testing
● TDD (Test Driven Development) is a crucial foundation
● Unit test frameworks for specific code
● Mocking services to isolate integrations
● Powerful when implemented within a CI/CD pipeline and run
against integration environments
● Can be difficult to implement is some circumstances
● GUI interactions
● Databases
● Legacy code
● As DevOps engineers, this is not optional
43. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
Creating Tests At Each Filter
Integration Testing
● Runs unit tests in a complex context (component)
● Bugs can be introduced from indirect interactions with other
services and applications. (System)
● Manual testing can provide great value
● Microservices is a must have architecture
● Knowledge of tools is a must for all testers
● SOUPUI
● POSTMAN
● Concept regarding NFR’s should be introduced here
● CI/CD tooling becomes essential to build, test, deploy and
then test again
● Product fitness rather than code quality
44. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
Creating Tests At Each Filter
End-to-End Testing
● Is more efficient through DevOps principles
● Strongly supported by automation
● Scalable environments
● Coded change and deployments
● Coded tests and failure highlighting
● Planit champions this phase
● The fork in the road. Where DevOps can be introduced
● DevOps brings more exploratory and targeted testing ability
to satisfy customer feedback
45. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
Creating Tests At Each Filter
Monitoring and Alerts Testing
● Issues should be detected by monitors
● Real or Mocked data can be used
● Controlled data easier to distinguish
● Rules based so standard testing practices apply
● Ensure alerts are sent and received successfully
● Ensure they are also fixable
● Ensure they detail the issue clearly
46. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
Creating Tests At Each Filter
Log Testing
● Records everything that is happening
● At application, Server and Cloud
level
● Errors that generate no logs
highlights issues with logging
● Reveals user behavior and hidden
issues
47. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
Testing in Production
● A/B Testing - Multiple versions released for
feedback
● Beta Testing - Released to a subset of users
● Feature Toggles - Change configuration in the
application
● Cannery Servers - Adjust deployment if too many
issues
● “TIP” is a hot topic on the interwebs
49. What is DevTestOps? Continue...
Other Tests within DevOps
● Orchestration Pipeline Testing
● Code Quality Gates
● Infrastructure Configuration Testing
● Bug Bash
● Crowdsourced
● Infrastructure Resilience Testing - chaos
monkey
● Repeatable Performance and Security Tests
