Using the Groovy dynamic language for primarily functional / acceptance / customer / BDD testing with a forward looking perspective. Also considers polyglot options. The techniques and lessons learned can be applied to other kinds of testing and are also applicable to similar languages. Drivers and Runners discussed include: Native Groovy, HttpBuilder, HtmlUnit, WebTest, Watij, Selenium, WebDriver, Tellurium, JWebUnit, JUnit, TestNG, Spock, EasyB, JBehave, Cucumber, Robot Framework and FitNesse/Slim. Also looks at JMeter, ScalaCheck, Choco, AllPairs and ModelJUnit
Throwing complexity over the wall: Rapid development for enterprise Java (Jav...Dan Allen
For many, development of enterprise Java has long been an arduous undertaking. We're of the opinion that application programmers should be free to focus on their business logic only.
In this session, we'll cover:
• What makes us most productive?
• What tasks should we be programming; more importantly, what shouldn't we?
• What is a component model, and what does it buy us?
• How is this stuff usable in the real world?
We'll discuss how testing relates to the features of the Java EE 6 stack. By the end, we'll have introduced a pair of simple and powerful frameworks that render the testing of real enterprise components as natural as calling "add" on a CS101 Calculator.java.
JSR-299 (CDI), Weld & the Future of Seam (JavaOne 2010)Dan Allen
Introduces JSR-299, the new Java standard for contextual lifecycle management, dependency injection (CDI) and event notification. Covers the core programming model, explains its relationship to EJB 3.1 and JSF 2.0, and clarifies how it unifies and enhances the Java EE platform as a whole (extending to JPA, JAX-RS and JMS). You are then introduced to Weld, the JSR-299 Reference Implementation, and its Servlet container and Java SE extensions. Finally, looks ahead at how a modularized Seam 3 ties into this new foundation as a set of portable CDI extensions.

Just-in-time Java EE - provisioning runtimes for enterprise applications - Ja...mfrancis
Tim Ward (Paremus) - Java One 2013
As the Java EE specification becomes more flexible and modular, it becomes easier to build application server profiles specific to your applications. This has the benefit of being lightweight, but it adds a significant risk that out-of-date documentation will cause applications to fail or behave unpredictably if a required feature is missing. The introduction of OSGi bundle support in GlassFish, JBoss, and WebSphere means that applications can now be self-describing. All the runtime features you need can then be matched with capabilities by use of the OSGi resolver, and a server runtime can be dynamically provisioned for your application as it is deployed. This session shows how to achieve this by presenting examples from Apache Aries and other open source projects.
Safe and Reliable Embedded Linux Programming: How to Get ThereAdaCore
The talk provides an overview of techniques to design and implement reliable embedded applications. The goal is to achieve safe and analyzable behavior by construction, including handling parallel multiprocessor systems in an efficient and predictable way. The means to attain this objective is to statically configure the application to run on embedded linux platforms, and then to use run-time support to enforce constraints imposed to the system.
Developer practices for traditional and agile Java development are well understood and documented. But dynamic languages (Groovy, Ruby, and others) change the ground rules. Many of the common practices, refactoring techniques, and design patterns we have been taught either no longer apply or should be applied differently and some new techniques also come into play. In this talk, we'll relearn practices needed for dynamic languages. Along the way we will look at typing, design patterns,
refactoring, functional style, SOLID principles revisited and more.
Cloud Native Testing, 2020 Edition: A Modern Blueprint for Pre-production Tes...OlyaSurits
Cloud native applications can benefit greatly from end-to-end testing before deployment, but integration testing of microservices is often discouraged because it's costly and difficult.
This talk proposes a modern blueprint for cloud native application testing, focusing on pre-production testing and in particular integration testing. Topics discussed include how to handle common challenges with end-to-end and integration testing, such as:
Dealing with state
How to speed up tests runs for improved developer feedback loops
How to test the configuration of a whole system in the era of Infrastructure-as-Code
We will also discuss other types of testing (such as testing in production), and pre-production workarounds often used as an alternative to integration testing (such as contract testing and test doubles), evaluating the pros and cons of each approach, and how they can complement each other.

Code of Ethical Conduct for Agile CoachingCraig Smith
Talk delivered by Craig Smith, Alex Sloley and Shane Hastie at Agile Virtual Summit: Coaching Edition on 4 March 2022.
People serving in an agile coaching role are expected to act ethically, but what does that mean in practice?
Agile coaching is an evolving profession encompassing many disciplines including individual, team and systemic coaching, facilitating, teaching and mentoring, all applied with an open and deliberate bias towards using agile approaches to help address a client’s needs.
The complexity of agile coaching means that you will inevitably encounter difficult situations.
What if you had a Code you could follow that would help support you when difficult decisions need to be made?
What if that same Code helped you act courageously in every situation, even if there is a personal negative impact?
A group of volunteers has been working on crafting just that code. Specifically a Code of Ethical Conduct for Agile Coaching under an Agile Alliance initiative.
This talk will present the background to the work which has been done so far, walk you through the content of the code and explain where it can go in the future.
During the session, you'll be introduced to a few ethics scenarios that will help you identify the types of dilemmas you may face in the field. You'll discover some examples of appropriate and inappropriate ethical behavior in these different contexts, and how to address them.

Rethinking Retrospectives: Beyond the Three ColumnsCraig Smith
Talk delivered by Craig Smith and Michael Huynh at Agile Online Summit 2021 on 26 October 2021.
The concept of continuous improvement is to stop, pause, reflect, and make small adjustments for the team to improve. But are retrospectives really enough for your teams to improve sprint to sprint? What if your best retrospective still doesn’t yield the results desired and doesn't move your team out of first gear? What often happens is a narrow view from a team’s perspective on the last sprint or retrospectives don’t provide enough coverage on the broader topics beyond the last iteration.
Simply put, retrospectives are no longer enough!
Join Craig and Michael as they both share their experience and taking your teams to the next level!

FailAgility: Recognising and Resetting the Agile BoundariesCraig Smith
Keynote delivered by Craig Smith and Tony Ponton at LAST Conference Brisbane, Australia on 27 September 2019.
FailAgility; we have all seen it and let’s face it, we are all guilty of letting it happen in our organisations. So why is it that so many businesses fail to see the outcomes that the Agile values and principles promise?
This presentation looks at what FailAgility is and the three levels in organisations where it stems from:
Organisation, Leadership and the Coaching / Personal level.
We will discuss the types of FailAgility that we see at these different levels, the approaches that cause
FailAgility and most importantly what we can do to recognise and fix it.
Mind the Gap: Realising the Value of AgilityCraig Smith
Talk delivered by Craig Smith at LAST Conference Canberra, Australia on 21 September 2019.
Agile has well and truly crossed the chasm and every organisation large or small seems to be in the middle of some sort of Agile transformation. Yet, look behind the covers and we have to ask ourselves the tough question of how well we are doing and how agile are we really?
So all aboard as we acknowledge some of gaps many organisations are facing and we question the true value we are delivering. More importantly, we will discuss how we might start to these issues, both inside our organisations and as individuals flying the agile flag.

Agile Coaching Nightmares: Lessons We Can Learn From Gordon RamsayCraig Smith
Talk delivered by Craig Smith at YOW! Hong Kong 2017 and YOW! Singapore 2017 during September 2017.
When you look for inspiration in the Agile Coaching community, the name Gordon Ramsay is probably not the first name to come to mind. He has been known to be belligerent, condescending and downright rude, but underneath this brute facade is a treasure trove of skills and talents that influence change.
In this presentation we will draw insights from his ‘Kitchen Nightmare’ escapades and draw parallels with how much his work aligns with that of an Agile Coach and the goal to successfully drive change and introduce a number of models and techniques that are indispensable in the coaching toolkit.
Technical Lessons Learned Turning the Agile Dials to Eleven!Craig Smith
Talk delivered by Craig Smith and Paul King at Agile 2008 in Toronto, Canada on 7 August 2008.
Developer practices for traditional and agile Java development are well understood and documented. But dynamic languages - Groovy, Ruby, and others - change the ground rules. Many of the common practices, refactoring techniques, and design patterns we have been taught either no longer apply or should be applied differently and some new techniques come into play. In this talk, techniques for agile development with dynamic languages are discussed. How should we better apply refactoring techniques? What new aspects do we need to think about?
Agile Project Experiences - The Story of Three Little PigsCraig Smith
Talk delivered by Craig Smith and Paul King at Agile 2008 in Toronto, Canada on 5 August 2008.
Over the last few years, we have agrressively applied agile practices on a number of projects with success. These successes, however, have not been achieved without challenges and lessons learnt along the way. This experience report specifically highlights examples from three different projects of varying sizes in this period in the same organisation (three little pigs) where in all cases the pigs were well and truly committed.
Some of the key successes from the example projects will also be discussed.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.
