1 like•2,388 views
The document discusses headless browser testing with Ruby. It outlines the process of writing user stories and acceptance tests with RSpec/Steak, running the tests which initially fail, then creating features to pass the tests. The benefits of headless browser testing over Selenium are that it is faster and easier to set up and test edge cases. Tools mentioned include Ruby, RSpec, Capybara, HtmlUnit, and Steak. The author is Justin Halsall and provides contact information.

team++; making your team work better together
As presented at London Web Standards, on Monday 14th November 2011.
This talk isn't brain science.
Some teams are better than others. Some get more done, some have more bugs. What they all can be though, is better. In this session, Neil Crosby witters on about some of the things that he's done to help create a better functioning team.
Scott Porad - Web 2.0 Expo SF 2011
The document discusses motivating new employees on their first day. It shares positive quotes from new hires about their first day experiences. It then jokes that the company doesn't show new employees where the bathroom is located until they have committed some code. The rest of the document provides tips for controlling a new employee's first day experience by giving them a small, specific coding task with mentor support to set them up for success.
KANBAN – NOT „YET ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT PROCESS“ (FLORIAN EISENBERG) - LKCE13
KANBAN – NOT „YET ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT PROCESS“ (FLORIAN EISENBERG) - LKCE13Lean Kanban Central Europe
Way too often is Kanban portrayed as an agile, flow based development process close to the classical waterfall competing with Scrum. Kanban is supposed to unite all the advantages that waterfall processes offer (like clearly defined responsibilities, working in specialization, and all of that really efficiently!) with the agility of Scrum. You’re successful, however, without planning, estimation, nobody hast o leave their comfort zone. Awesome, isn’t it!? But that isn’t really Kanban. It’s just FAKE – False, accumulated Kanban expectations. Kanban is, contrary to a lot of expectations, a evolutionary change management method. A central aspect of this method is the establishment of a work-in-progress limited pull system. Through this system, demand is approached to the real system capacity. Limiting the work-in-progress and the other five core practises create a pressure for change. The four principles support changing the system evolutionary and collaboratively. The basics of Kanban – principles and practises – will be presented and discussed during this talk. It is directly especially at an audience with no or little knowledge of Kanban as a change management method. Kanban can be implemented deeply or, the majority of implementations I see, in a shallow way. Therefore, members of the audience who are already using visualization as a first practice should be able to take away fresh impulses.Matt Heusser - Keynote - Cool New Things... and some old ones too
Matt Heusser from Excelon Development discusses various methods for testing software products. He describes taking an early build of a product called CityDesk home to use as a customer would and discovering serious bugs that prevented basic tasks. This highlighted limitations of their meticulous functional testing which failed to uncover "showstoppers". Heusser advocates using different types of testing beyond automation, including simulating user scenarios, considering failure modes, and using "system two thinking" to uncover hard to find "black swan" issues. A repeated focus on automation and specifications can create blind spots where important problems are missed.
Experiment driven product - LAST 2014
Redbubble is an online marketplace with 10 million monthly visits based in Melbourne that has 4 engineering teams deploying updates up to 12 times per day. They test assumptions through A/B testing new experiences and features, like offering free shipping for a week which resulted in a $3500 loss but $50,000 saved, or adding a "fake door" for Amazon Payments only that increased conversions by 8%. The key is to isolate changes, measure impacts on the user funnel, and establish causal relationships between tests and outcomes.

Mind the Gap - State of the Browser 2015
- The web development community needs to focus more on quality, accessibility, and standards compliance rather than constant innovation and new techniques. Browsers have come a long way but still struggle to balance implementing new features while maintaining compatibility.
- Web pages have gotten slower and larger over time due to an emphasis on appearance over performance and a reluctance to drop legacy techniques. Many modern solutions make the web more complex without real benefits.
- Developers should provide better feedback to browsers, demand stronger support for baseline functionality, and stop catering to outdated browsers to encourage continued progress toward an interoperable web. Simpler, more sustainable approaches would benefit all.

Dmitry sharkov - Maturing Your Cucumber Suites
This document provides guidance on maturing Cucumber test suites by avoiding common pitfalls. It discusses how scenarios, steps, hooks, and page interactions can become overly complex and brittle over time. The key recommendations are to focus scenarios on business needs rather than implementation details, extract common logic into reusable helpers and pages, and tag scenarios to declaratively define preconditions rather than authoring convoluted hooks. Choosing the right level of abstraction and avoiding unnecessary layers can help keep test code maintainable.
Cucumber Presentation Kiev Meet Up
The document discusses Cucumber, a behavior-driven development (BDD) framework that uses natural language to describe features and scenarios. It outlines some key benefits of Cucumber, including encouraging BDD/TDD practices, supporting multiple test drivers and languages. It also notes some potential downsides, such as slower performance and messy directory structures. In conclusion, while Cucumber has advantages for involving whole teams, it is not necessarily suitable for all projects.
Selenium and Cucumber Selenium Conf 2011
The document discusses Cucumber, a behavior-driven development (BDD) framework that helps with test-driven development (TDD).

- Teach and lead a roundtable discussion on analyzing the results and make actionable next steps.
- Recommend the tools and resources to make DIY usability testing accessible to everyone.
Mobile App Feature Configuration and A/B Experiments
The document discusses feature configuration and A/B testing in mobile apps. It describes how Etsy uses feature flags and continuous experimentation to iteratively develop and test new features. Features can be enabled or disabled for certain users or groups. Experiments follow a process of setting up a feature flag, determining user eligibility, coding the feature, internal testing, then launching the feature to a percentage of users while collecting analytics. This allows gathering feedback to improve products and user experience.
SQL Phone Home: Teaching Your SQL Servers to Call for Help
This document discusses using SQL Server Agent to automate monitoring of a SQL Server instance and alerting when problems are detected. It provides examples of things that could be monitored like server restarts, databases not being backed up, failed jobs, and more. The document advocates the principle of "see something, say something" by having SQL Agent queries check for issues and send emails or log events to call for help if problems are found. It also cautions that any advice found online should be tested before implementing.

So, Beyonce, unbeknownst to you, decides to wear your shirt. A paparazzi snaps her casually walking down Rodeo Drive with it.
Suddenly your site explodes and you’re getting angry emails from crazed Beyonce fans about not being able to access it.
What happened?! Was it the dreaded DDoS monster? Or did something even worse happen? You went viral…
When your WordPress site finally goes live, it’s likely that you’ve probably spent weeks or even months building, iterating and debating about it.
The last thing you’re thinking about is testing it.
But if you plan on succeeding on the most important days of your business and site, like a function room, you need to understand how many people can fit in it, otherwise you could be leaving thousands on the table when your site goes down.
Key Take-Away
============
This talk will cover a history of load testing, why it’s important, and a live demonstration with an open-source and free tool that everyone can access right now.

Happy Programming with CoffeeScript
CoffeeScript is a programming language that compiles to JavaScript. It adds syntactic sugar like string interpolation and array comprehensions to make code more concise and readable in a JavaScript-like syntax. While CoffeeScript is not a replacement for JavaScript, it can help programmers write cleaner code, especially for those who dislike certain parts of JavaScript syntax. Whether to use CoffeeScript depends on one's needs - it is most useful for those who want cleaner syntax but still need to target JavaScript in the end.

Principles, Backbone and Bottlenose
This document outlines Justin Halsall's background and experience with web development, Backbone.js, and Bottlenose. It discusses how Bottlenose started as a consumer product but transitioned to an enterprise software. The document then lists some of Bottlenose's principles for building web applications, including prototyping early, minimizing time between changes and seeing results, isolating components so they can be replaced over time, and migrating code incrementally rather than in huge overhauls. It emphasizes being pragmatic rather than dogmatic and questioning assumptions.

The document appears to be notes from a presentation or discussion about web applications and HTML5 features. It discusses the performance of native apps vs web apps, differences between programming languages, the app approval process, releasing software early and often, offline web applications, cache manifest files, checking network connection status, retrieving and using data, and persistent local storage options like SQL databases and key-value stores. Presenter information is also provided.
DSLs for Front End Rails
The document discusses using Ruby on Rails helpers and blocks to create a domain specific language (DSL) for building tabbed interfaces in views. It introduces the block_helpers gem which allows defining tab steps, sync status, and completion using blocks. An example shows implementing multi-step tabs for a connection setup flow in just a few lines of code by yielding tab definitions to a add_connection_tabs helper. This avoids duplicating common markup across many pages.
Front End on Rails
This document provides tips and tricks for front end development on Rails. It discusses proper use of HTML elements like headers, lists, IDs and classes. It also covers CSS topics like specificity and preprocessors like SASS. JavaScript techniques for unobtrusive DOM manipulation are presented, including replacing traditional link confirmation dialogs with AJAX calls. Form helpers, RESTful routing and using JSON for AJAX responses are also summarized.

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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:

- 2. Our process
- 3. Make user stories write out all the different actions users can and can’t do
- 4. Write out Acceptance tests Using Rspec/Steak
- 5. Run the tests! Doesn’t do much but its working!
- 6. Write out the first scenario Do this before you actually create the feature
- 7. Run the tests! And it fails! But we where expecting that...
- 8. Go ahead! Create that feature! Yeah boi, its hammer time!
- 9. Run it again and... no failures! Yippy!
- 10. That wasn’t too hard Lets step it up
- 11. Write out the second scenario
- 12. Visit the page
- 13. Specify area with CSS expression
- 14. Click on the link
- 15. Make sure you end up where you expect
- 16. Run tests: Red, green, refactor http://www.flickr.com/photos/tasuki/3503304405
- 17. Of course you can do more eg. interacting with forms
- 18. Of course you can do more eg. interacting with forms
- 19. Wow that was awesome! Yeah I know right!
- 22. Headless Browser vs Selenium Speed speed speeeed! (our test suite takes 30 minutes to complete on a fast machine using a headless web browser) Easier to set up the environment and test edge cases. Abstracted so easy to change out for different browser in the future.
