Mobile to Mainframe - the Challenges of Enterprise DevOps AdoptionSanjeev Sharma
Delivering software is complex. Systems being developed are made up of multiple components, which in turn interact with other systems, services, application servers, data sources and invocations of 3rd party systems. In an Enterprise this complexity is further enhanced by the cross-platform nature of the infrastructure typical enterprises have. While the customers may be interacting with Systems of Engagement using Mobile and Web Apps, the core capabilities of the enterprise that the customers access are in Systems of Record that are running on large datacenters and more than likely Mainframe systems. Keeping these complex systems up and running and constantly updated with the latest capabilities is a task that requires constant coordination between the lines of business, various cross-platform development, QA and operations teams.
DevOps 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. Cross-platform enterprise Systems take the need for these practices up a level due to their inherent complexity and distributed nature. Such systems need even more care in applying DevOps principles as there are multiple platforms to be targeted, in a coordinated manner, each with its own requirements, quirks, and nuanced needs.
This talk will take a look at the DevOps challenges specific to Cross-platform Enterprise Systems and present Best Practices to address them.

Software Factories in the Real World: How an IBM® WebSphere® Integration Fact...Prolifics
“Getting any software development team to effectively scale to meet the needs of a large integration project is actually harder than it sounds. For a large Automotive Retailer based in Florida, this is exactly what they needed to do. They needed a large amount of integration to be built between their brand new Point of Sales system and their new SAP back-end. In this session, you will hear about how tools such as Rational Software Architect and WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit were integrated with a Rational Team Concert-based development environment to set up super efficient software factory employing techniques such as Model-Driven Development and Continuous Integration to help this retailer keep their customers’ wheels on the road.”
Lessons learned in building a model driven software factoryJohan den Haan
These are the slides of my talk at Code Generation 2010. I share my experiences during the development of a Model-Driven Software Factory. This factory is based on multiple Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs), together describing a Service-Oriented Business Application. All DSLs have a graphical concrete syntax and are aimed at involving domain experts in the software development process. The factory has been used for many projects in the last five years and its user base is growing fast.

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.

Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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:

Learn more here: http://w3.ibm.com/connections/wikis/home?lang=en#/wiki/Rational%27s%20Phased%20Approach%20in%20Migrating%20to%20Lotus%20Symphony This template has been created in PowerPoint 2003 Depending on how the source file was formatted, some slides will not ideally reformat once the template is applied. Therefore, some reformatting will be necessary. Reapply slide layouts: Task Pane / Slide Layout Can be applied thru normal or slide sorter view May have to reapply the layouts more than once in order to take effect Limit altering slide layout attributes on your slide (fonts, positioning, text box anchoring, positioning, etc.), this will create less reformatting rework when switching templates in the future or repurposing this slide in other presentations. Use “shift returns” if text wraps are needed to wrap around imagery. If slide layout customization is needed, it’s advised to break the customized text box from the slide layout by selecting the bounding box of the altered text box and cutting it from the slide, apply either the title slide layout or the blank layout, and then paste the text box back onto the slide. Your custom-formatting of the text layout will then be retained for future repurposing in other presentations. Recolor graphics if needed by using the embedded color palette swatches already in this template. Slide text: Don’t create long sentences or paragraphs on slides. Use concise bulleted list format. Use speaker notes for supporting bulleted content to avoid slides that are too text heavy. Use sentence case capitalization for presentation titles, slide titles, category labels and bullets: Format / Change Case / Sentence Case. Initial capitalization is limited to our products and offerings. When referring to our products, use the correct full name, (e.g., IBM Rational ClearCase).

The previous chart introduced Service Desk and Service Catalog as applications (PMPs) thatoperate on top the Service Management Platform. This chart now introduces the concept of the Service Request Manager as a common package of Service Desk and Service Catalog capabilities. What we have in common here is the concept of satisfying user requests. In general, requests to the Service Desk are handled on a case by case basis; while Service Catalog requests are usually handled in pre-configured manner that is intended to fulfill the request in a best practice manner. Service request center (SRC) offers a unified solution for service request management – whether it is performance problem needing help from service desk or request for provisioning of new software into your workstation through service catalog. Users need to access one application via web or call a person over phone or simply send an email. SRC has built-in service desk functionalities such as incident & problem management; offering solutions to the users through knowledge management; integration with network/application management products to open incident tickets automatically. It also offers service delivery functionalities through its catalog where users can “shop” for services they need through online catalog. Remember they need to pay for what they buy……enabling tighter control over expenses.. Technical highlights of the product are mentioned in the bullet points.
When: - use this to create and maintain links between issues found in production and the fixes made in development to address them - use this to understand the status of problems which require development teams to provide fixes Why: - it is very common for coordinated actions to be taken across development and operations. Linking respective work items increases efficiency of all collaborators - linking information can assist with problem analysis and troubleshooting of similar problems found by operations in the future. How: - background processes (tasks) are run which maintain synchronization of information between TSRM and ClearQuest - extensible to allow for an organization's customized fields to also be updated appropriately
