Frequently deploying to production puts bigger pressure than before on DevOps to make sure the good, qualified application is provisioned with no mistakes. This session will explore some common pitfalls with traditional Continuous-Integration that increase risk, introduce manual input and human error, and generally make DevOps cringe before hitting the “deploy” button. We will then demonstrate automation techniques that overcome these issues using popular tools, like Maven, Gradle, your CI server, custom scripts and a Binary Repository. Whether you are building software for the cloud or in-house, this presentation will show you how to have completely automated production builds that release applications which are fully traceable, managed and ready to be provisioned with no fear!

Scaling Continuous Integration Practices to Teams with Parallel Development

IBM UrbanCode Products

Slides from an Urbancode and Accurev joint webinar: http://www.accurev.com/webinar/20120119-Scaling-CI-Parallel-Development Continuous integration is simple with a single development team. But when software projects grow to multiple teams and dependencies, continuous integration loses effectiveness due to parallel projects, varying release schedules, and differing cadences between teams. As a result, many teams unknowingly lose the benefits of continuous integration, and therefore suffer from a lack of feedback and poor quality. In this webinar, UrbanCode’s Eric Minick and AccuRev’s Chris Lucca will explain how to: - Scale continuous integration builds across multiple development teams working on parallel projects - Share only code that has passed continuous integration from other teams to avoid broken builds and confusion - Automate the configuration of your test environment to handle fluid projects done in parallel

How we took our server side application to the cloud and liked what we got

Baruch Sadogursky

Taking traditional Java server-side applications to the multi-tenant Cloud introduces lots of challenges. In this session, we will share our experience of creating a SaaS offering, which is currently being used successfully by the Java community. We will start by reviewing the challenges we faced during the SaaS conversion. Next, we will share our experience with the EC2 platform. We will discuss the importance of automation and how we use tools like Chef and Puppet for SaaS provisioning. Finally, we will describe how creating a SaaS version of our product shifted our way of thinking about software release. We will recommend what’s required to successfully release both SaaS and downloadable versions of your product.

While rapid release cycles provide numerous benefits for end-users and developers, it puts additional pressure on DevOps to make sure that a good application is provisioned with no mistakes. In this session, we will look at the release process from the binaries point of view. We will explain what are the processes and the methodologies for moving your build binaries between different phases until declared production-ready. In the second part of the session, we will show how business requirements can affect release procedures. We will discuss what it takes to customize the logic of the process in the context of CI servers and binary artifacts. We will demonstrate several common release methodologies and compare the pros and cons of each one.

Safe Bundle Updates

Premek Brada

Our recent research has resulted in a method that ensures safe OSGi bundle updates and package bindings despite potentially errorneous meta-data, e.g. package versions. It uses subtype checks and is implemented as a user-space enhancement of the standard bundle update process. The method was successfully applied in the Knopflerfish and Apache Felix frameworks; these implementations also resulted in some general experiences with the OSGi framework which we want to share.

Continuous Delivery Applied (Agile Richmond)

Mike McGarr

Writing code is fun, but deploying to production is not. Production releases are scary events that last all weekend, and you find yourself worrying about how it will go. Did we miss a configuration file? Is the database schema the same as the one in the test environment? Does the last minute hot fix we just applied break any other features? Did I forget to include an installation instruction for the system administrators? Continuous Delivery is a collection of principles and practices aimed at addressing the problems teams typically face when releasing changes to production. By applying rigorous automation, testing and configuration management, teams are able to confidently and consistently deploy changes from version control to production without fear. In this talk, Mike McGarr will provide listeners with an introduction into the world of Continuous Delivery. After an introduction into the concepts and principles of Continuous Delivery, he will discuss many of the techniques for implementing Continuous Delivery and recommend some tools that can be used on your development project.

Dev ops for cross platform mobile modeveast 12

Sanjeev Sharma

Mobile Apps are not stand alone applications running on a mobile device anymore. Apps today are complex systems with back-ends hosted on clouds, with application servers, databases, API calls to external systems, and of course a powerful app running on a mobile device. Mobile App development and deployment is further complicated with todays need for supporting multiple mobile devices, with multiple OSes, multiple versions of the OSes, multiple form factors and varied network, CPU, GPU and memory specs. DevOps - the new and growing movement addresses these development and deployment challenges. The goal of DevOps is to align Dev and Ops by introducing a set of principles and practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery. Mobile apps take the need for these practices up a level due to their inherent distributed nature. Multi-platform mobile apps need even more care in applying DevOps principles as there are multiple platforms to be targeted, each with its own requirements, quirks, and nuanced needs. This talk will introduce attendees to the basic practices of DevOps and then take a look at the DevOps challenges specific to cross-platform Mobile apps and present Best Practices to address them.

Automated Deployment with Maven - going the whole nine yards

John Ferguson Smart Limited

Automating your build process with Continuous Integration is certainly a great idea, but why stop there? Why not go the whole nine yards and automate the deployment process as well? Staging and production deployments are typically more complicated and more involved than a simple development deployment, but doing them by hand can be time-consuming, tricky and error-prone. Indeed, turning your staging and production deployments into a one-click affair has a lot going for it.

John Ferguson Smart Limited

It was the time of Da Vinci and Michelangelo. It was also the time of Machiavelli and the Medici. Artists working on timeless masterpieces crossed paths with mercenary captains, contracted to do a very specific job. In this keynote talk, John Smart will address important questions with deep implications for any IT team, or any organisation trying to make a difference, or simply to get the most value out of their IT projects. Who is your real customer? Is there a cost to quality? Are you building an artwork that will last, or simply fulfilling a contract? An inspiring and entertaining talk that will take attendees on journey from the Italian Renaissance to Silicon Valley and the City of London, and see what lessons can be learned about cultures, attitudes and work ethics today.

Engage! Bringing teams together to deliver software that makes a difference

John Ferguson Smart Limited

Discover how you can multiply your team’s productivity and innovation by engaging the creativity of your whole team from the outset. Drawing from his long experience helping teams deliver better software faster and more effectively, John will discuss the latest practical techniques leveraged from Behaviour Driven Development, Lean Enterprise, DevOps, and Test Automation, combined with research in Psychology and Team Performance, to show you how to get the best out of your teams. Learn about the new roles of business analysts, developers and testers in the future of software development, where testers can play a vital role in not only detecting defects but preventing them. Discover how you can make test automation happen during, not after, the sprint, and how to engage the creativity of the whole team right from the word "go".

BE A POD OF DOLPHINS, NOT A DANCING ELEPHANT

John Ferguson Smart Limited

his talk will present the core concepts of Exponential Business Agility, or XBA. XBA is a set of patterns for organising value streams around self-organising, autonomous teams, and is part of the XSCALE approach to scaling agile. XBA combines the Spotify model with practice patterns drawn from the Iroquois Confederacy, the most successful and longest-lived holarchy in history. Learn how Throughput Accounting optimises the contribution of each business function to top line throughput rather than blindly attempting to minimise operating expense. And discover how Self-Propagating Transformation avoids pushing change into pre-existing teams, programs or silos, but generates agile capability by grafting the kernel of a new culture onto the trunk of the old. Be a pod of dolphins, not a dancing elephant. Don’t try to scale agile. De-scale your organisation instead.

Sustainable Test Automation with Serenity BDD and Screenplay

John Ferguson Smart Limited

As projects get faster and teams get leaner, the need to write high quality automated acceptance criteria quickly and efficiently has never been greater. Engineers in Test simply cannot afford to spend time maintaining brittle tests. And yet, without solid test automation strategies, this is what many teams find themselves doing. In this workshop, you will learn a better way. You will learn how to write clean, clear and maintainable tests using the Screenplay Pattern, an innovative new approach to writing BDD-style automated acceptance tests that are easier to understand, easier to extend and easier to maintain. The workshop will be a practical demonstration of the principles of good automated test design. There will be live coding of real-world BDD automated acceptance tests in abundance, using Java, Serenity BDD and Cucumber. We will go from requirements and BDD-style Acceptance Criteria in Cucumber right through to automated acceptance tests and living documentation.

Feature Mapping Workshop

John Ferguson Smart Limited

Writing good acceptance criteria is one of the keys to effective software delivery. But it’s hard. In this workshop, you will learn about Feature Mapping, a new technique and easy that can help teams write higher quality acceptance criteria more easily. Feature Mapping is an excellent way to build a deep shared understanding of a story's requirements and clear a path to a smooth implementation of automated acceptance tests.

John Ferguson Smart Limited

IT teams today are under constant pressure to deliver more value sooner, and Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is one of the more effective ways to help teams deliver the high quality software that their business needs. When they adopt BDD, many teams look to tools like Cucumber to help them. But BDD isn’t simply about picking up a new tool. In fact, there is a lot more to BDD than Given/When/Then and tools like Cucumber, and both can be misused. In this talk, we will take a step back and look at the bigger picture, and learn why using Gherkin at the wrong time, or for the wrong purpose, may be holding you back.

John Ferguson Smart Limited

The changing role of testing and test automation in the increasingly fast-paced world of continuous delivery and automated acceptance testing. Learn how, in a DevOps environment, testing activities start with requirements discovery and definition, playing a vital role in not only detecting defects, but preventing them, and ensuring not only that the features are built right, but the right features are built. And learn how test automation needs to happen during, not after, the sprint, and how you can achieve this. Despite rumors to the contrary, the role of the tester is not diminished with the arrival of automated DevOps, with its ultra-rapid deployment cycles and its emphasis on automation. On the contrary, testers play a vital role in ensuring that the code that gets deployed ten times a day is worth deploying.

All the world's a stage – the next step in automated testing practices

John Ferguson Smart Limited

Every test tells a story, but some tell a better story than others. Every test illustrates a specific path through the system to achieve a specific goal, but some paths are clearer than others. Valuable tests are the ones that both tell a compelling story, and can stand the test of time, providing value not only as acceptance tests but also as living documentation and easily maintainable regression tests. In this session, John will invite you to come on a journey of discovery to learn how to write clean, clear and maintainable tests using the Journey Pattern, an innovative new approach to writing automated acceptance tests that are easier to understand, easier to extend and easier to maintain. You will also witness a demonstration of these principles in action, with live coding of Serenity BDD automated tests.

CukeUp 2016 Agile Product Planning Workshop

John Ferguson Smart Limited

Learn how to plan, prioritise and deliver higher value features by thinking of deliverable features not in terms of what they cost, but of what they can deliver. XScale is a set of practices based on BDD that enables a product team to efficiently define, budget and prioritise a roadmap or backlog. It’s also a way to answer some questions Agile has traditionally avoided: - How much will a set of features cost? - How do we trade off different feature sets? - How do we know a feature is ready to ship? In this workshop, we outline several key practices and practice using a few of them. The main practices we cover include: - Feature Points, a way to reconcile budgets with story points - Backlog Bingo determines the dollar investment and relative return for a set of products and services - Royal Cod applies Backlog Bingo to prioritize a Breadth-First Roadmap - Release Refactoring enables product owners to make rational trade-offs between feature-sets.

BDD Anti-patterns

John Ferguson Smart Limited

Behaviour Driven Development is a powerful collaboration technique that can empower teams to deliver higher value features to the business faster and more effectively. But although Behaviour Driven Development is based on a number of simple principles, it can go dramatically wrong in a myriad of different ways. In this talk we discuss twelve BDD anti-patterns we frequently encounter in real-world BDD projects, anti-patterns that can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of BDD as a practice, and that can even cause BDD adoption to fail entirely. Looking at everything from insufficient collaboration practices to poor use of test automation tooling, from teams that test too much to teams that forget the most important scenarios, we will look at the many different ways that BDD can go wrong, and how it should be done. We will use real-world examples to illustrate each of these anti-patterns. You will learn how to spot these issues in your own projects, and more importantly how to avoid them in the first place.

Serenity and the Journey Pattern

John Ferguson Smart Limited

Every test tells a story, but some tell a better story than others. Every test illustrates a specific path through the system to achieve a specific goal, but some paths are clearer than others. Valuable tests are the ones that tell a compelling story. Come on a journey of discovery to learn how to write such tests, and witness a demonstration of these principles in action, with live coding of Serenity BDD automated tests.

BDD-Driven Microservices

John Ferguson Smart Limited

Think BDD is just for web sites? Think again! In this talk, we rethink traditional software testing strategies in the context of micro-services and Behaviour-Driven Development. We will see how traditional testing approaches are both inadequate and poorly targeted for micro-services development. We will learn how to use BDD techniques to discover, describe and document micro-service requirements, and tools like Cucumber and Serenity to turn these requirements into automated acceptance tests and living documentation. We will see how Consumer-Driven Contract tools help ensure that micro-services play well together, and how you can implement the details with the help of unit-testing tools like Spock and REST-Assured.

BDD Anti-patterns

John Ferguson Smart Limited

It's Testing, Jim, but not as we know it - BDD for Testers

John Ferguson Smart Limited

Behaviour Driven Development is an increasingly popular Agile practice that turns testing on its head, and involves a major shift in the role testers play in a project. Although popularly associated with automated acceptance testing and tools like Cucumber, BDD actually has much broader applications. In this talk, we will look at how Behaviour Driven Development radically changes the traditional tester role in Agile projects, and empowers them to tangibly contribute much more to the successful outcomes of the project. We will see how collaboratively discussing and defining acceptance criteria help reduce assumptions and errors in the early phases of the project, and help ensure that the features being built are well understood, testable, and valuable to the business. We will look at ways to write more effective, easier to maintain automated acceptance criteria, that free testers to do more productive testing tasks such as exploratory testing. And we will see how automated and manual acceptance test reporting can be combined to provide valuable progress, product documentation and release preparation reporting.

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)

Ralf Eggert

In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development. This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
