Technology-Driven Development: Using Automation and Development Techniques to Grow an Agile Culture

The document discusses technology-driven development, focusing on automation techniques such as Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), Test-Driven Development (TDD), and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) to optimize the development process in an agile context. It highlights the challenges faced by a team with no previous agile experience, the implementation of CI/CD leading to significant efficiency improvements, and the application of TDD and BDD to foster better collaboration and reduce issues like feature creep. Ultimately, the presentation underscores the importance of cultivating an agile culture through learning and collaboration among team members.

13 At the end of April 2013 Business Analyst Agile Coach (The Hiro) UI/UX Designers Developers HELP!
14 Our target application is
15 Conditions and Challenges
16 Conditions and Challenges None of the team members had any experience with agile
17 Conditions and Challenges None of the team members had any experience with agile There had been many manual operations
18 Conditions and Challenges None of the team members had any experience with agile There had been many manual operations Most of the team members were young and immature
19 What do you think?
20 I was so much excited!
21 I can achieve anything through such a challenging project! WHY?
22 Three approaches CI/CD TDD BDD
23 1. Conditions and Challenges 3. TDD 2. CI/CD 4. BDD 5. Results, Problems, Possibility and Future 6. Conclusions
24 Challenges Low performance • So many manual tasks Going in circles • No clear vision and no requirements • No timely progress information
25 Before CI/CD • Install applications : 0.5 hour/change • 5-minite work for 6 persons • Regression testing : 4 hours/change • Need to retry if we find bugs… • Change requests : 3 times/week 13.5 hours/week
26 The Implementation of CI/CD in our project
27 The Implementation of CI/CD in our project My PC
28 The Implementation of CI/CD in our project Check-in build (hourly) My PC
29 The Implementation of CI/CD in our project Check-in build (hourly) My PC Build applications and run regression tests automatically
30 The Implementation of CI/CD in our project Check-in build (hourly) My PC Deliver to all team members automatically Build applications and run regression tests automatically
31 The Implementation of CI/CD in our project Check-in build (hourly) My PC We demonstrate latest application to the business analyst and managers in every daily scrum Deliver to all team members automatically Build applications and run regression tests automatically
32 Shared understanding by the working software Business Analyst UI/UX Designers Developers Get fast feedback Know about the progress
33 • Install applications : 2 minutes/change • Regression testing : 3 minutes/change • Change requests : 3 times/week 15 minutes/week After CI/CD
34 • Install applications : 2 minutes/change • Regression testing : 3 minutes/change • Change requests : 3 times/week 15 minutes/week After CI/CD
35 1. Conditions and Challenges 3. TDD 2. CI/CD 4. BDD 5. Results, Problems, Possibility and Future 6. Conclusions
36 Challenge Lack of skill and knowledge of Android • the architecture of Android • how to develop the Android application • how to access the database on the device • how to implement the UI
37 Before TDD Model Controller DBDao Activity DBDao DBDao • Could not test after we implemented all components (Debug Later Programming) • It took five days to implement one activity set
38 Too difficult to use Android JUnit 
39 Too difficult to use Android JUnit  java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub! (ﾟДﾟ)
40 Too difficult to use Android JUnit  java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub! (ﾟДﾟ) Why we need an emulator or a device? :-o
41 Too difficult to use Android JUnit  java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub! (ﾟДﾟ) Why we need an emulator or a device? :-o Please don’t start a heavy lifecycle of Android for each test case :-<
42 Solution to do TDD on Android
43 Solution to do TDD on Android • Robolectric : Do all unit testing only on JVM • http://robolectric.org/ • Without any emulator or device!
44 Solution to do TDD on Android • Robolectric : Do all unit testing only on JVM • http://robolectric.org/ • Without any emulator or device! • Mockito : Can use the “Test Double” • http://code.google.com/p/mockito/
45 @Before public void setUp() { Create database for Test; Insert test data; } @Test public void findXxx() { Assertions; } @After public void tearDown() { Drop Database for Test; } Image of Unit testing for Dao by using Robolectric 5 minutes -> 0.5 seconds to run each test case.
46 After TDD Model Controller DBDao Activity DBDao DBDao • Can test each component independently and separately • It takes one day to implement one activity set (five times faster than at the start of the project)
47 1. Conditions and Challenges 3. TDD 2. CI/CD 4. BDD 5. Results, Problems, Possibility and Future 6. Conclusions
48 Challenges Avoid feature creep Detect bugs and regressions on use-cases Learn domain knowledge effectively
49 Example of feature creep Business Analyst UI/UX Designers Developers DONE!
50 Example of feature creep Business Analyst UI/UX Designers Developers MORE! MORE! MORE! More features! DONE!
51 Example of feature creep Business Analyst UI/UX Designers Developers MORE! MORE! MORE! More features! DONE! NUUN 
52 Example of feature creep Business Analyst UI/UX Designers Developers MORE! MORE! MORE! More features! DONE! NUUN 
53 Calabash-android: improve the discipline • The wrapper of Cucumber for Android • As an executable specification • As a communication tool Specifying collaboratively with business analyst, designers and developers • By specification with examples
54 Example of BDD test scenario with Calabash-Android Feature: Input Scenario: Input today’s data Given I kick drumroll And drumroll show today When press next Then I should see ”xxx" screen When I press keys and calculator should show like this: | 2 | 2 | | 0 | 20 | | 0 | 200 | | * | 200 | | 3 | 3 | | = | 600 | Then take photo … • Feature : name of all cases • Scenario : name of each case These statements are RUNNABLE! We can write data with table style like this
55 We want to… Process of BDD Business Analyst UI/UX Designers Developers We want to…

70 Possibility and future
71 [Example] Growing a collaborative culture Developers Got some slack time!
72 [Example] Growing a collaborative culture Developers Got some slack time! Too slow emulator…
73 [Example] Growing a collaborative culture Developers Got some slack time! Too slow emulator… How about Genymotion?

75 • Install applications : 2 minutes/change • Regression testing : 3 minutes/change • Change requests : 3 times/week Can enhance “TDD” by numerical measurement [e.g.]
76 Business Analyst Executive Manager Agile Coach (The Hiro)UI/UX Designers Developers Use “TDD” as a measure for total optimization Over barriers/silos
