There is an immense interest in automated testing, especially in ATDD environments, but many testers lack the experience and knowledge to engage in it. While there are educational resources available, they are not necessarily targeted at people with no development background whatsoever. At Grange Insurance, we developed training for interested testers in order to elevate their skill set and provide them a foundation for participating in ATDD. This presentation will cover how that training was created and conducted, lessons learned, and steps for moving forwards after training is completed.
Conducting UX research (interviews, surveys, usability testing, etc) tends to leave you with lots and lots of raw, unfiltered, unstructured data. How do we sort through that data and turn it into usable insights, recommendations, and starting points for ideation?

It’s the same argument again and again. One side says “team members should all be able to do everything, and the programmers should do their testing and all testers should be writing code”. The other side says “No, that can’t possibly work – programmers don’t know how to test, they don’t have the right mindset”. And on and on it goes.

Diversity != stock photos: Are you looking for candidates in all the wrong pl...Docker, Inc.
If you work in tech, it's likely your company has a Diversity initiative... but what does that even mean?
If you are a ""diverse"" candidate, have you noticed a difference? If you are a manager, how have you changed your practices to support diversity? How many fantastic SW developers have you met that came from a non-traditional background? Did they all have a CS degree? Should a CS degree be a prerequisite for all SW engineering roles? With the rise of coding bootcamps and self-taught programmers around the world, perhaps it's time we start changing our hiring processes.
In this talk, we'll dive into how to approach ways to evolve your current recruiting practices to encourage more diverse candidates through your door, take a critical look at current interviewing procedures and processes (hint: you may be blocking the door to many candidates), explore the benefits of hiring bootcamp grads (as well as discuss the bandwidth needed to train one), highlight success stories, and I'll share some funny (and cringe-worthy) stories from my time as a junior developer interviewing without a CS degree. Join Chloe Condon - Theater/TV/Movie actress turned Software Developer, as she tells her story and shares her expertise.

How to Effectively Work as a Tech Lead Tech leading is an art which turns the unique skills and talents of an engineering team into a well oiled machine. Many engineers eventually find themselves in a leadership position but without the experience to utilize it to the fullest extent. Developing tactics for how to route information and questions, use group-oriented communication style, developing delegation skills, product vision and working well with other teams can move a tech lead from good to great. During this discussion Derek Parham will talk about his lessons learned on tech leading Google Apps and provide tips to existing and future tech leads on how to play this role effectively. Speaker: Derek Parham Derek is an entrepreneur and technical leader with over twelve years of experience in software engineering. He is the founder of Google Apps for Businesses and served as its technical lead for nearly six years. He launched the project from scratch and helped grow the team to over one hundred engineers serving over 40 million customers today. The project utilized and developed some of the world’s largest scalable systems, along with shaping what is now referred to as "the cloud".
"AI, Please Test My App!" - by Gil TayarApplitools
** webinar recording: https://youtu.be/r4wYTmYPAaw **
The future of testing is autonomy: creating programs that autonomously test applications. Fear for your future, or be excited by the opportunities?
Autonomous cars were a Sci-Fi dream not 10 years ago. A computer driving a car? No way. But it did happen, and is happening. And if scientists do it for a complicated task such as driving, can they do it for automated regression testing?
In this talk, Gill explores what is being done in the field today, but also speculates about the future. Gil introduces the 6 levels of autonomous testing (that correspond to the 5 levels of autonomous driving), and tried to figure out what kind of help current AI techniques can bring to automated testing.
This talk aims to show that AI in testing is not something to be feared, but rather something to look forward to. A tool that will alleviate most of the boredom inherent in the field, and will make software testers better - not obsolete.
Key takeaways:
-- How autonomous driving works
-- 5 levels of autonomous driving
-- How AI works today to assist you in testing your app
-- 6 levels of AI in automated testing
-- Dreaming about the long-term
Not Only Cars: AI, Please Test My App by Gil TayarSauce Labs
Autonomous cars were a sci-fi dream not 10 years ago. A computer driving a car? No way. But it did happen, and is happening. And if scientists do it for a complicated task such as driving, can they do it for automated regression testing? In this SauceCon 2018 talk, Gil Tayar explores what is being done in the field today, but also speculates about the future. He’ll introduce the six levels of autonomous testing (that correspond to the five levels of autonomous driving), and try and figure out what kind of help current AI techniques can bring to automated testing.
This is a quick presentation introducing the idea of automated testing, giving some reasons to do it, showing one way to do automated UI testing using Behat, and then pointing to more resources.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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!
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
