“Specification by Example” is a set of process patterns that helps to validate the application for faster feedback and minimal documentation. With Specification by Example, teams write just enough documenta- tion to facilitate change effectively in short iterations or in flow-based development.
3 Keys to Great Customer Experience When Launching Web and Mobile ApplicationsCompuware APM
Designing a great application is only part of ensuring a great customer experience. Ensuring that the application meets business and user expectations in a way that attracts and keeps customers wanting more, yet protecting and increasing business interests is the key to a great customer experience.

Avatars of Test Driven Development (TDD)Naresh Jain
It's easy to speak of test-driven development as if it were a single method, but there are several ways to approach it. In my experience, different approaches lead to quite different solutions.
In this hands-on workshop, with the help of some concrete examples, I'll demonstrate the different styles and more importantly what goes into the moment of decision when a test is written? And why TDDers make certain choices. The objective of the session is not to decide which approach is best, rather to highlight various different approaches/styles of practicing test-driven development.
By the end of this session, you will understand how TTDers break down a problem before trying to solve it. Also you'll be exposed to various strategies or techniques used by TDDers to help them write the first few tests.
The role of mro in enhancing operational capability and mission readinessMichael Parsons
Every minute that an asset is not available directly affects operational capability and mission readiness. One of the key factors that can improve this situation is an efficient maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) solution. Spreadsheet based, disconnected maintenance planning business processes result in a shortage of key maintenance parts and resources and pose a significant risk to operational capability. Unscheduled or prolonged down-times lead to suboptimal equipment availability and impacts the capability to deploy those assets into the field.
I wrote this paper for my Technical Writing for the Professions class. I conducted more than 30 interviews with a group of requirements analysts, software testers, and software developers to discover the effectiveness of the requirements documentation developed within one organization. This paper discusses the findings of that research and recommends several actions for organizations facing similar issues.

Requirements Manager Center of Excellence: “Achieving Goals Without Formaliz...IIBA Rochester NY
Most companies today recognize that the definition and management of requirements for software projects needs improving. Companies may realize that they have been achieving their goals without formalizing a Requirements Management Center of Excellence. A Center of Excellence (CoE) has a lot of responsibilities and serves as the critical hub of managing software requirements.
Mr. Karczewski will present an overview of a Requirements Management Center of Excellence, covering benefits of establishing a CoE, Requirements Engineering phases and metrics, and what can be included in a CoE.
Joel Karczewski, Area Vice President at Paychex, is responsible for Enterprise Business Solutions and has over 25 years of Information Technology development and operational experience. Joel joined Paychex in 2008 and is responsible for groups that manage application design, development and testing, user acceptance testing and software configuration and release processes.
Prior to joining Paychex, Joel was a Principal at Vangard Group responsible for the development and implementation of systems for the Institutional Investment Division.
Joel holds a MBA from LaSalle University and has earned his Project Management Professional (PMP) designation from the Project Management Institute.

In today's high tech world, the complexity of projects continues to increase rapidly. Many technical organizations continuously ask themselves – what can we do to ensure the highest level of quality within a time-boxed project? When a project faces unforeseen challenges, there's an increased need for creative solutions and a higher level of teamwork. This presentation explores the coexistence of the agile and waterfall methodologies. This may be taboo in the traditional project management organization, however we have proven that it works.

The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex 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).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
