DevOps | Regardless of how they work together, config data mattersSweagle
DevOps nirvana
Firstly, achieving DevOps nirvana does not happen overnight. As a result, many organizations are in the transition towards the ideal set up. As a result, that nirvana takes time. However, for every milestone reached in the transformation process, there are many benefits. But, in contrast, there are also new challenges.
Therefore, this White Paper sets out three broad DevOps scenarios. With the intention to discuss the relationship between Dev & Ops, so the specific benefits you’ll gain can be explored. Specifically, from a configuration data management point of view.
Under these circumstances, there’s no such thing as good or bad DevOps. So, Benny Van de Sompele outlines the perks of each scenario, providing three key broad ways of working.
In reality, most DevOps teams are still separate. That means the nirvana is, for many large organizations, still far away. However, that doesn’t mean there’s no value in assessing the steps you can take right now. With that in mind, you’ll be better prepared for the future …

The document discusses principles for personal, health, and wealth perfection. It emphasizes taking responsibility for one's experiences and health. Personal perfection involves discovering one's true self and potential. Health perfection relies on nutrition from whole foods to support a healthy immune system. Wealth perfection follows from properly applying the other principles and from building a team to help share the principles with others. The overall message is that unlimited success comes from serving others by teaching these principles.
The document proposes a customer-centric search solution to help property management companies lead, attract, retain customers and generate profit. It discusses how a custom local search engine on a company's website can boost trust, entice new residents, empower existing residents, and create a recurring revenue stream from advertising. The search engine is customizable, provides relevant local results, and gives users and advertisers insights through usage statistics and management tools. Outsourcing the solution to experts allows companies to focus on their core business instead of developing search capabilities in-house.
Este documento resume el pensamiento latinoamericano desde la colonización hasta la actualidad. Explica que América Latina fue dominada por Europa, lo que ha dado forma a su identidad y pensamiento a través de la historia. Además, analiza cómo la dependencia y la noción de ser parte de la "periferia" han afectado la percepción que los latinoamericanos tienen de sí mismos.
The document discusses various obligations and rules that people must follow, including giving seats to the elderly on transportation, helping disabled people, maintaining personal hygiene like brushing teeth, obeying teachers, not disturbing others or making noise in class, following school rules like wearing uniforms, and being on time for school and homework. It also notes things people mustn't do, such as going on grass areas not meant for walking on.
The document reflects on important names from the author's life that are etched in their heart. It discusses childhood friends, those during hard times, those who brought joy and sadness, and those who offered encouragement. True friendship is felt across boundaries of time and difference. The author feels privileged to be part of others' histories and is thankful for the deep friendships that have left footprints in their heart.
We looked at the data. Here’s a breakdown of some key statistics about the nation’s incoming presidents’ addresses, how long they spoke, how well, and more.

Shaun Bradshaw presented on test management strategies for large-scale projects. He defined a large-scale project as having 100+ resources, a duration of 2+ years, integrating 6 or more major components, costing $70 million or more, and involving multiple external vendors. Bradshaw recommended developing an overall QA approach aligned with the project methodology, determining data and environment needs early, and establishing a team structure with key roles like a test architect and manager. Effective communication across the project was emphasized as the biggest challenge. Integration testing requires mapping critical data flows and a "bottom-up" approach. Performance testing of individual components and the full integrated solution is also important.

Threshold Autoregressive (TAR) models allow for movements between regimes that are governed by an observed variable. A TAR model contains different parameters depending on whether the state-determining variable is above or below a certain threshold. A self-exciting TAR (SETAR) model occurs when the state-determining variable is a lag of the dependent variable. There are many possible variations of the basic TAR model, including models with switching in some but not all parameters, models with more than two regimes, and models with different threshold variables or dynamic specifications.

This document summarizes an article that analyzes the shift in foreign policy from pursuing national interests to emphasizing ethical duties to protect others' rights. While international changes provided an opportunity for ethical framing, domestic pressures also drove ethical foreign policy interventions. Ethical rhetoric enhances governments' moral authority but allows less accountability, as policy success can be declared without regard for outcomes blamed on others. This flexibility lets governments project purpose abroad amid difficulty acting decisively at home.

PQS 2.0 – Infrastructure & Environments
Liaise with Dan and the London infrastructure team to
develop/use/implement the right approach for the common
functionalities, such as notifications, searches, non SQL queries and
workflows;
We need to deploy to the System Test environment on a regular
basis – after the end of each Sprint, and this will include real live
data migration from the source systems;
We also need a CI available environment, so that the London teams
can see/use the DEV version of a current Sprint;
After completion (pass) of System Test, code will be promoted into
UAT environment

PQS 2.0 – ODS - Structure
The Schema's have been design to logically partition data in an attempt to simplify the structure and promote re-use.
Business Entity Schema's Description
Common Used for common entities that would exist in more than business entity schema's
Customer This contains any tables that we feel would represent a customer (Learning Provider, Learner etc)
OrderFulfilment This contains all tables that would be used to support order fulfilment (Assessment Delivery, Scoring, Awarding etc)
Procurement
This contains tables associated with the purchasing of materials and resources to deliver our products and services(Example Markering Contracts and
Recruitment)
Product
This contains tables used to describe our products and services. (Qualifiation, Unit etc) This is a complex area and may need to split into other schema
partitions Such as AvailableProduct and BaseProduct
Sales This contains the tables used to make the association between the customer and the product/services they wish to purchase
Supplier This contains all tables that represent the suppliers of our products and resources (Markers, Content Authors etc)
UserAccess This contains all tables related to user of PQS (User, AccessContext etc)
Business Process
Schema's Description
Awarding
This schema contains all data associated with the awarding process. (Example GradeBoundaryAwarder,AvailableAssessmentGradeBoundaryAllocation
etc)
Integration Schema's Description
SystemIntegration
This schema contains tables that hold data related to systems we integrate with. The design is abstract so allow quick replacement of systems we do not
have control over and who's future is uncertain (Example ExternalSystem and ExternalSystemParameter). Some of our key entities my be associated with
tables in this schema but the dependancy should be one way. That is SystemIntegration data may rely on key Business Entity/Proccess data but this should
never be the other way arround.
Non Approved Data
Schema's Description
Novus This schema contains data used to fullfill the grade boundary functionality supplied by Novus.

PQS 2.0 – Migration Strategy for BTEC/NG (1.5)
• Starting from the 8th of July, both teams will be working on this activity;
• BTEC/NG and FS/ICT integration into one system (challenges)
• Estimate refactoring of all 1.5 apps into PQS 2.0;
• Brainstorming session to identify the challenges and work needed;
• Refactor AR3 Venue Centre Addresses
13. PQS 2.0 04/06/201313
PQS 2.0 – Documentation
“To document or not to document, that is the question!”
User Stories well documented (Utopia?);
We need something, that makes it comprehensive to anybody
understand what the system does…
Just Enough – The bear minimum which is needed to explain what
the system does and how it works;
Screen shots with brief description;
Flow diagrams showing processes and logic flow;
Domain Models to pinpoint the entities and relationships;
16. PQS 2.0 04/06/201316
PQS 2.0 – Just Enough, but comprehensive, cont.
Allocated Traditional Marking – display the list of Traditional Marking orders already
allocated. This screen gives the possibility to Reallocate AA and Send notifications. Hovering an
item in the grid will show a tool-tip.
17. PQS 2.0 04/06/201317
PQS 2.0 – Documentation! Why do we need it?
Share knowledge – “the system functionality shouldn’t be in one person’s head”;
Explain to the business what the systems does, and how it works. Allows
business to construct End-to-End tests for UAT;
Extremely helpful to manage the scope and the development process;
Helps the developer to ask questions, allowing to spot and anticipate
issues;
Aids System Test – allows tester to understand workflow, identify status
changes and table updates, create accurate expected results;
Documentation should be created during the whole process, since the very
beginning of the story discussion, till the end of the testing, and mainly by
the developer himself;

PQS 2.0 – QA & Testing Strategy
Ian Betts – QA Manager
Testers will report to him
QA Strategy
Code Reviews Policy
Acceptance Criteria Format
DoD for MRF’s and Stories
Engagement with the business during testing
Creation of “Quality Gates”
Control of test phases and sign-off
19. PQS 2.0 – QA & Testing Strategy
Communication is KEY!
Requirement: Build a Shelter
What business are expecting…………
What IT are developing…………………
Presentation Title runs here l 00/00/0019
20. PQS 2.0 – QA & Testing Strategy
Communication is KEY!
User Story is understood by developer and business
o If unclear, seek confirmation – do not assume
There are no missing acceptance criteria
Show and Tell is thorough
o The right business people are there
o Ask them questions, don’t wait to be asked!
Document enough to fully describe process
Avoid ambiguity

21. PQS 2.0 – QA & Testing Strategy
Quality and Testing: Are they the same?
Unit testing: aim to have tests created by different developer. This helps to prevent
errors in understanding being repeated in code and unit test.
Documentation provides information to create and run tests in System Test
Quality Documentation provides information to select the “right” tests and be clear
about expected results
Poor testing does not improve quality.
Quality is maximised when quality methods and processes are used from the start of
the SDLC.

22. PQS 2.0 – QA & Testing Strategy
“Quality Gates” applied at change of phase. Example:
QG1 Requirements gathering --- Dev
QG2 Dev (including Int) --- System Test
QG3 System Test --- UAT
QG4 UAT --- Production
Quality Gates describe the criteria (Who, What, When, How, Where) to be met before
we can move from one phase to another. They are simple control points – reminders of
what we should have done and what needs to be in place to move forward.
Example: QG2
• QG1 passed
• DoD passed
• Code review passed
• What to test agreed
• Processes confirmed
• Test data created / available
• System Test environment on-line and stable
