Continuous delivery is a challenge to implement seamlessly without changing work processes. The key is to introduce automation, responsibility, and a pipeline approach. Automating builds, tests, and deployments using tools like Maven, Jenkins, Vagrant, and configuration management ensures reliable and reproducible software releases. Implementing principles like committing often, comprehensive testing, and promoting changes through stages restores trust and readiness in a project.
Continuous Delivery in the real world - techniques to reduce the developers b...Nikolai Blackie
Do you suffer from elevated stress and high blood pressure from your current software release cycles? Lost count of the 2am troubleshooting sessions trying to working out why production didn’t deploy like test? In this session you will see real life continuous delivery strategies from the field, learn some implementation techniques and demonstrations of a few tools that will assist in reducing the headache of manual software delivery.
Maven is close to ubiquitous in the world of enterprise Java, and the Maven dependency ecosystem is the de facto industry standard. However, the traditional Maven build and release strategy, based on snapshot versions and carefully planned releases, is difficult to reconcile with modern continuous delivery practices, where any commit that passes a series of quality-control gateways can qualify as a release. How can teams using the standard Maven release process still leverage the benefits of continuous delivery? This presentation discusses strategies that can be used to implement continuous delivery solutions with Maven and demonstrates one such strategy using Maven, Jenkins, and Git.

How to go beyond traditional Scrum principles and scale to globally distributed teams with Continuous Delivery and Subversion. Presented by Andy Singleton of Assembla and Scott Rudenstein of WANdisco. Presented Nov. 15, 2012. 30 minutes.
In 2010, Microsoft released a bold new featureset to support management of virtual test environments. "Lab Management" provided the ability to easily spin up test environments, perform automated build and deployments, run automated tests, and collect diagnostic data. Unfortunately, many teams were discouraged by the infrastructure requirements. Now, with Visual Studio 2012 and standard environments, even small teams or groups that can't use Microsoft's Hyper-V can still benefit from lab management. This session will demonstrate how to configure your existing environments for many of the same compelling features formally available only with Hyper-V.
Continuous Delivery refers to the process of releasing high quality software quickly and with confidence through the use of build, test and deployment automation. By applying Lean techniques to the development, test and deployment of software, waste is reduced and staff are freed up to work on more important tasks. By following a continuous delivery model, release cycles shift from a matter of months to weeks or days.
In this presentation, we will look at the key tools and processes involved in transitioning from a manual culture to one that embraces automation. We will look at real world examples, including the tools and architectural components. We will discuss organizational impacts, including the dramatic improvements in morale as team delivery commitments are met more easily through automation.
Drupal & Continous Integration - SF State Study CaseEmanuele Quinto
HigherEd Drupal Summit @ BADCamp 2011 (http://2011.badcamp.net/higher-education-drupal-summit)
Cal State San Francisco will talk about how they implemented their drupal development cycle process based on continuous integration and QuickBuild.
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!

Releasing fast code - The DevOps approachMichael Kopp
Agile makes you Develop faster, DevOps also makes you Deploy faster but how do you make your Application faster?
Many currently used Performance Management practices don’t work anymore as they are too time consuming. It takes a new approach to track performance in Continuous Integration, get more value out of Load Testing and leverage production data for performance optimization.
We will show you real world examples on how the new DevOps approach can work.
In this talk, Qingsong Yao will discussion a set of commonly used engineering principle and practices, namely, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and various Testing Strategies, which you can use in your daily work. These principles helped many organizations to release their product fast with high quality and were fully integrated into Agile process. He will show demos about how these engineering principle and practices are used in his DAC Import/Export improvement. In additional, he will show how organizations and companies, like Bing team, Protection Services Team, and Google use these principles.
This is a webinar presentation I did with Daniel Aragao for the ThoughtWorks Continuous Delivery series. We focus on 3 common impediments to implementing continuous delivery and our 3 step process to overcoming them.

Enabling Agile Testing Through Continuous Integration Agile2009sstolberg
A Continuous Integration system is often considered one of the key elements involved in supporting an agile software development and testing environment. As a traditional software tester transitioning to an agile development environment it became clear to me that I would need to put this essential infrastructure in place and promote improved development practices in order to make the transition to agile testing possible. This experience report discusses a continuous integration implementation I led last year. The initial motivations for implementing continuous integration are discussed and a pre and post-assessment using Martin Fowler's "Practices of Continuous Integration" is provided along with the technical specifics of the implementation. The report concludes with a retrospective of my experiences implementing and promoting continuous integration within the context of agile testing.

This session explains how the simple model promoted by Vert.x enables the construction of concurrent, scalable and efficient micro-service based applications. Several examples are developed during the talk and demonstrates Vert.x features such as the distributed event bus, the high availability, the polyglot aspect and vert.x web.
h-ubu - An industrial-strength service-oriented component model for JavaScrip...Clément Escoffier
In the last years, we developed web applications requiring a large amount of JavaScript code. These web applications present adaptation requirements. In addition to platform-centric adaptation, applications have to dynamically react to external events like connectivity disruptions. Building such applications is complex and we faced sharp maintainability challenges. This paper presents h-ubu, a service-oriented component framework for JavaScript allowing building adaptive applications. h-ubu is used in industrial web applications and mobile applications. h-ubu is available in open source, as part of the OW2 Nanoko project.
A broad alliance of leading technology and wireless companies recently joined forces to announce the development of Android, an open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices. Google Inc., T-Mobile, HTC, Qualcomm, Motorola and others have collaborated on the development of Android through the Open Handset Alliance, a multinational alliance of technology and mobile industry leaders. At the core, the linux based Android platform features a virtual machine, called Dalvik, that uses another format for the class files but otherwise looks very much like Java. They also provide a utility that can convert Java class files to so called DEX files: the native Dalvik format. It is a VM for applications and is itself a so-called MVM i.e., able to run several programs in the same address space where the individual applications can communicate with each others via (remote) services. Java code generally runs on Dalvik without changes to the source code.
Android itself is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications featuring a built-in database, support for various media formats and access to geo-localization, telephony management etc. Android is currently used on mobile phones (like the t-mobile G1), but promises to be usable on other hardware like netbooks as well. Android itself is licensed under the Apache License with the linux specific parts licensed as GPLv2.
This talk presents the Android platform and how it is structured. We will talk about the provided functionality and how to use the various features of the Android kernel such as the built-in camera, Wifi, and GPS. Furthermore, we will go into the details of the provided middleware stack containing libraries such as WebKit, SQLite and other libraris for e.g., telephony, and multi-media support. Finally the perspectives of Android will be presented.
Experimenting with the OSGi platform in the Aspire RFID middlewareClément Escoffier
RFID (Radio Frequency IDenfication) technology is becoming a key driving force for next generation IT systems, following the vision of the "Internet of Things". The OW2 AspireRFID project aims at developing and promoting an open-source middleware to ease the development, deployment and management of RFID-based applications and sensor-based applications. This middleware is lightweight, standards-compliant, scalable and privacy-friendly. OW2 Aspire implements and completes several specifications from consortiums such as EPC Global and NFC Forum. The Aspire architecture is mainly based on the collection and filtering of RFID events and sensors data from OSGi-based low-cost gateways to JavaEE high-end servers powered with OSGi (i.e., JOnAS). This presentation shows how we have benefited from the OSGi platform (modularity, provisioning, and dynamicity) to build the AspireRFID middleware, including specific aspects of, and tools for, OSGi, such as:
* JMX management with MOSGi
* Component-Based Software Engineering with iPOJO
* RFID tag readings published via the Event Admin mediator
* Sensor data collection and filtering performed through wires, dynamically and automatically managed by the Wire Admin service, thanks to the WireAdmin Binder engine and its W-ADL.
The OW2 Aspire RFID project is supported by the FP7 Aspire project. A short demonstration using industry quality RFID devices on a scale model may conclude the presentation.
The new OSGi R4.2 specification introduces a transaction service. This paves the road to new types of applications dealing with critical resources in a transactional manner. However, despite useful or even required, transactions are often difficult to handle manually, especially in a dynamic environment like OSGi.
This talk presents the new transaction service and how to use it in dynamic environments. To help developers using transactions in a good way, iPOJO hides the most part of transaction management allowing the developer to focus on his business code without worrying about transactions. This talk presents iPOJO transaction support and more specifically:
* How developers can declare transactions as simple as with EJB and
* How the dynamism impact on transactions can be made transparent.
Attendees will learn how to use the new transaction service through a simple example and see how iPOJO transaction support can be used to integrate transactions into business logic in a transparent way.

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.
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).
