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:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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).

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!

Editor's Notes
"The IN Cell Analyzer automated microscope was used to identify proteins influencing the division of human cells. After the images were analyzed, quantitative results were transferred to Spotfire DecisionSite. This screen revealed the previously unknown involvement of the retinol binding protein RBP1 in cell cycle control.(Stubbs S, & Thomas N. 2006 Methods in Enzymology; 414:1-21.) Retinol a form of Vitamin A plays a crucial role in vision and during embryonic development"
Contrast and Creatinine dataset In some diagnostic radiology procedures, patients are injected contrast material. However, some patients develop adverse side effects to the contrast material. One serious side effect is renal failure, which is detected by high creatinine levels in a patient's blood. This adverse effect usually occur within two weeks after the radiology contrast. WHC is interested in finding the proportion of patients who exhibit this condition in historical records. Screenshots 1-aligned-ranked.png: We align by the 1st occurrence of radiology contrast and rank by the number of creatinine high (CREAT-H) events to bring the most severe patients to the top. We realize two things: (1) some patients have more than 1 "Radiology Contrast" events, and (2), some patients have consistently high creatinine readings (chronic kidney failure). 2-aligned(all)-distribution-selected.png We align by all occurrences of raiology contrast, and then show the temporal summary of CREAT-H events. The patients are presented in 4 exclusive sets in the summary: those who have CREAT-H only before alignment, only after alignment, both before and after, and neither. We then select from the "only after" summary the patients who have at least one CREAT-H event within 2 weeks of any "Radiology Contrast" event. There are 421 patients.
Using LifeFlow, 7,041 patients are aggregated into this visualization and LifeFlow immediately reveal the most common pattern, which you could not do easily in SQL. You could easily notice this huge pattern “Arrival -> ER -> Exit”, meaning patients who visited with minor injuries or simple conditions and left the hospital immediately after receiving their treatment. When hovering the mouse over, LifeFlow displays a tooltip that gives more information, such as number of patients and other statistics, and also shows the distribution of the patients. As the horizontal gap represents time, you can see from the distribution that some patients left the hospital very quickly after visiting the emergency room while some of them stayed longer. *optional The second most common pattern is “Arrival (Blue) -> ER (Pink) -> Floor (Green) -> Exit (Cyan)”, meaning patients who were admitted to observe the conditions and then everything went well so they left the hospital. You can also use the horizontal gap to compare these patients with the patients who exit from the emergency room. Comparing the gap from pink to cyan and pink to green, you can see that the gap from pink to green is smaller than pink to cyan, so the patients were transferred to Floor faster than exit the hospital in average. You have seen the two most common cases, now I will remove the common patterns so we can analyze the less frequent patterns.
After removing all the common cases, we have 344 patients left. These are mostly the patients who were admitted. There are many information that I can explain from this visualization here, but I will go straight into the case that our physician partners are mostly interested in. The mouse is pointing at this sequence, which represents the “bounce backs” patients, meaning patients who were transferred from ICU to Floor because they seemed to get better, however, they were transferred back to the ICU. So the physician are interested in finding these patients to analyze what made them made the wrong decisions. *optional Another case is the step ups, which means the patients whose level of care were escalated to higher level, you can see from the visualization that there were patients who were transferred from ER to Floor (green) to ICU (red) and IMC (orange). The number of these patients and the average transferred time could be compare to the hospital standards to measure the quality of care.
Ben: This slide is optional. You can use it to show that when you click on the bounce backs patients, you can get the details of each patient in LifeLines2 view.
Another interesting feature is you can align by a particular event. For example, if you want to know what happened before and after the patients went to the ICU, you can align by ICU. The dash line separate between what happened before and what happened after. You can see that the ICU patients mostly came from the ER (pink), and most of them were transferred to Floor (green) after that. Unfortunately, some of them died after they were transferred to the ICU (black). From this visualization, you may notice a small pattern in the bottom. Let me zoom in.
So this patient was dead before transferred to the ICU, which is impossible. Of course, this must be problem with data entry. But we may never notice it if the data are hidden in the database. Therefore, you can see that LifeFlow support this kind of analysis by giving overview, showing common trends, providing summary of every sequences, you can do SQL and calculate average for every transfer if you like, but in LifeFlow, it is right there, you just need to move your mouse over. showing every possible transfer pattern and may led you to a discovery of surprising pattern.
