Four pillars of DevOps - John Shaw - Agile Cambridge 2014johnfcshaw
Slides presented at Agile Cambridge 2014 http://agilecambridge.net/ac2014/sessions/index.php?session=57
Session Description:
The emerging practice of DevOps is a natural extension to established Agile methods. The choice of tooling to support the practices is important and will influence heavily how rapid, repeatable and reliable live deployments might be.
Three of the four pillars are concerned with automation through tooling but, arguably, the fourth pillar is more important than the other three together. The fourth pillar is at the heart of the Agile Manifesto: people.
The "Gold Rush" for DevOps is dominated by vendors and the push to sell their wares. But it is people who use the tools, people who define, develop and assure the software, and people who manage the services after they have gone live. One of the cornerstones of DevOps is breaking down the walls between development teams and operations; too much tool specialisation will lead to further separation and even the introduction of yet another silo.
This talk will cover four pillars to DevOps: Environments, Deployment, Testing and People. The insights brought together in this talk were gained under commercial engagements with government clients, on development of financial systems responsible for management of funding in the adult education sector.

What does a Maturity Curve for Enterprise Adoption of Agile and DevOps look like? Where would an organization like yours rank on the curve? Are there specific areas of improvement you might want to consider?
While many organizations have started to automate their software development processes, many still engineer their infrastructure largely by hand. Treating your infrastructure just like any other piece of code creates a “programmable infrastructure” that allows you to take full advantage of the scalability and reliability of the AWS cloud. This session will walk through practical examples of how AWS customers have merged infrastructure configuration with application code to create application-specific infrastructure and a truly unified development lifecycle. You will learn how AWS customers have leveraged tools like CloudFormation, orchestration engines, and source control systems to enable their applications to take full advantage of the scalability and reliability of the AWS cloud, create self-reliant applications, and easily recover when things go seriously wrong with their infrastructure.

Lightning Talks by Globant - Automation (This app runs by itself ) Globant
When you add new features to your application a lot of things can happen. Do you believe that the app is able to test itself by using automation? Just imagine testing everything manually due to that change. Do you know how many people will be needed to complete this process? The power of automated testing in the development lifecycle allows us things such as scheduling, and executing tests at any time with a big scope on thousands of mobile devices, websites and multiple browsers simultaneously making sure everything is working as expected.
An Ultimate Guide to Continuous Testing in Agile Projects.pdfKMSSolutionsMarketin
As more businesses apply Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) to release their software faster, Continuous testing becomes the final piece that completes a continuous development process. By automatically testing code right after developers submit it to the repository, testers can locate bugs before another line of code is written.

expoQA17 "Testing tools in the ages of DevOps and Agile"atSistemas
Collaboration, integration, agility, automatization… the way we test is evolving and enriched from good practices DevOps and Agile methodologies.
The tools that we use in order to get support in this change are crucial: they define our integration capabilities, the way in which we may use collaborative tools and our capability to implement different specification, testing and development methodologies.
In order to support a modern vision of Testing in the ages of DevOps and Agile, these tools should support the implementation of methodologies such as Test Driven Development (TDD), Behavior Driven Development (BDD), test automation, exploratory testing and the collaboration among the members of the team.
In this talk we will revise the characteristics that we want our Testing tools to have and we will analyze three Test Management Tools: Tarantula, Zephyr + Jira and qTest Platform. We will compare their functionalities oriented to collaborative, agile and automated environments and the migration capabilities from more traditional testing environments offered by these tools.

Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

3. Context
Halfaker and Associates (Halfaker,
www.halfaker.com) is a midsize company,
headquartered in Arlington
Halfaker creates, modernizes, integrates, and
secures mission critical systems for Federal
Government organizations
Halfaker is a fast-growing organization that invests
in improving our Agile management and software
engineering maturity to better serve our customers
As Halfaker has scaled rapidly (100 employees in
2015) and begun managing large, more complex,
more visible programs, we’ve needed to improve
how we ensure quality in our technology solutions
We’ve been prioritizing investment at the
intersection of Software Testing/Quality and
DevOps
4. Background: Software Testing Domain
The Test Pyramid
Diagrams from https://martinfowler.com/bliki/TestPyramid.html and
https://martinfowler.com/articles/microservice-testing/#conclusion-test-pyramid
Similar to the Food Pyramid, a healthy Testing Program (“diet”)
should be balanced – Mike Cohn and Martin Fowler have written
about the concept of the Test Pyramid many times
Some teams focus too much on end-to-end testing and
exploratory (ad-hoc) testing, without building the solid foundation
of unit and integration tests
Unit tests are small, in-code tests, which developers should write
consistently throughout the development and maintenance of
software – they are fast to run (because they are often automated)
and provide a solid foundation by ensuring that micro-level
assumptions are met
Moving up the test pyramid, there should be fewer tests created at
each level, with a focus more and more at the macro level of the
system
Across the layers, think about: (1) Does it do what it’s supposed to
do? (2) Is it intuitive to use correctly? (3) Can I break the system?
5. Background: What is DevOps?
Development Operations (DevOps) is a set of practices focused on improving
the intersection/relationship between software development and IT operations
teams
DevOps is based on a culture of collaboration, instead of traditional silos
DevOps is not a just technology – it is more of a philosophy, similar to how
Agile is much more than just Scrum ceremonies/tools/roles
DevOps is enabled through the use of technologies that automate activities
including building, testing, and delivering software to create smaller, lower
risk feedback loops related to software engineering
Atlassian.com/devops and The Phoenix Project are great introductions to the
topic
6. What is Continuous Quality (CQ)?
Viewing software testing and quality management as an event done by people
with “test” in their job titles doesn’t scale with the velocity and Agility needed for
today’s engineering work
Instead, organizations should view Continuous Quality (CQ) as the goal – with a
focus on:
Shift Left – Focus on measuring/assessing quality as early as possible,
continually “shifting left” to reduce the time a defect/misunderstanding exists
Automate Quality – The more we can automate quality, the more quickly and
comprehensively we can assess quality, freeing up time to focus on doing a
faster and better job of the quality work that can’t be automated
(If teams don’t have a mature, comprehensive testing program, they certainly
need to build that foundation BEFORE they can shift left and automate)
7. Concept of CQ Gates
We enforce quality in a Continuous Quality environment by
defining automated gates that does not let code/software pass
without passing the test
These gates enforce rules, such as:
Unit Test Coverage (Goal is 100%, but that isn’t always reasonable, so we
set an enforced threshold, such as >= 80% of lines are covered by unit tests;
see https://martinfowler.com/bliki/TestCoverage.html)
Unit Test Pass Rate (e.g. 100% of unit tests must pass)
Static Code Analysis Thresholds (e.g. SonarQube tests re: code complexity)
Accessibility Tests (e.g. Section 508,
https://www.deque.com/tools/worldspace-attest/)
Source code vulnerability scan (Look for security weaknesses)
Performance Testing (Build the application and test it for responsiveness)
Capitol One has a blog post about their 16 Gates

pipeline-topo-pal-833d15edf0bd
8. Visualizing Continuous Quality
DevOps Teams should select the gates that provide the best return
(improving software quality) on investment of configuration and
maintenance
9. What Happened?
Halfaker established automated Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment
(CI/CD) pipelines across several programs, using the open source Jenkins automation
technology
Halfaker then added Continuous Quality gates, which has led to dramatically
improved efficiency (less rework and surprises late in the process) and improved
quality
We initially focused on a few key gates (Unit Tests, Static Code Analysis (Code
Complexity) and Source Code Security Scans), because they were our biggest
drivers in ROI
One of our Federal Government customers had an Production Readiness Review
(PRR) security audit done by a IV&V team on one of our programs, and they were
shocked that we had zero identified security vulnerabilities – something that is very
uncommon for this Federal agency
We also standardizing on a source code branching strategy (GitFlow,
https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/), which improved the quality
of our build process
10. Some Recommended Technologies
These are some of the technologies we’ve found success with
Test Type CQ Approach
User Acceptance Testing
(UAT)
N/A (Humans presenting to customers)
Exploratory N/A (Humans exploring)
End to End (Functional) Many options such as Cucumber, Gherkin, Protractor
Performance Apache JMeter™
Security Fortify or SonarQube static code analysis
Code Complexity SonarQube Quality Gate
Component (Functional) N/A (Humans exploring parts of the system)
Integration Jenkins Build/Delivery Validation
Unit SonarQube Quality Gate: Unit Test Coverage >= 80%
11. Jenkins Automation Server Technology
Jenkins, an open source technology, provides the central orchestration required to
define the CI/CD pipeline, which collects, builds, validates quality gates, and
deploys the software
12. SonarQube Continuous Code Quality Tool
SonarQube, an open source technology, provides a platform to analyzing code
quality to identify areas for developers to review – below are screenshots showing
code quality (left) and quality gates (right)

16. What did we Learn?
Make it Easy to See Continuous Quality
Make information convenient
(information radiators) – we used
open source tools including Capital
One’s Hygieia (see right) and
Grafana for several of our projects
to visualize data related to
Continuous Quality and DevOps
Many teams used shared TVs to
keep this information very visible
for the team, and created some
healthy peer pressure not to be the
person who broke the build

18. Recap
Invest time in improving to get out of reactive firefighting
1. Shift Left! Try to enforce and test as early as you can, as it only gets
more expensive the farther requirements, designs, code, etc. make it in
the process
2. Automate everything you can and then tune to the right amount of
automation – you can’t, and shouldn’t, automate everything; but it’s wise
to try and see what sticks!
3. Enforce Continuous Quality gates that require developers to meet or
exceed your requirements, which reduces rework and clarifies
engineering expectations at the beginning
4. Maximizing the value produced (functional code that comes through the
CI/CD pipeline), instead of trying to keep everyone on your teams busy
