Presented at Conferencia Rails 2010
You probably follow the motto “skinny controller, fat model”, which is a good thing. Skinny controllers are definitely the way to go but, as your domain logic grows, it’s very easy to end up with a model overweight problem, which is not so good. The issue is that your ActiveRecord objects have to deal with too many different responsibilities: validation, business rules, awareness of its own persistence, filtering…
Command-Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) is an architectural pattern that promises to improve the maintainability, performance and scalability of your applications by helping to separate concerns in your system. This pattern, along with Event Sourcing and other Domain-Driven Design ideas, is gaining increased popularity, particularly among developers building solutions for rich / complex domains.
This talk will introduce these concepts and show different ways we can (re)architect our Rails application in order to get their benefits. From a simple implementation using just the “tools in the room” to a implementation “in all its full glory” using NoSQL data stores and messaging queues.
All those who have a Rails projects complex enough to abuse of model callbacks, de-normalize the database or use presenter objects, may get benefits in terms of simplicity and maintainability from implementing the ideas I’ll present in this talk.

Enabling security at speed and scale requires building security as code which is often provided by software defined networks. The cloud offers software defined networks and some challenges to enabling safe workloads.
Cloud native applications are popular these days. They promise superior reliability and almost arbitrary scalability. They follow three key principles: they are built and composed as microservices. They are packaged and distributed in containers. The containers are executed dynamically in the cloud. But which technology is best to build this kind of application? This talk will be your guidebook.
In this hands-on session, we will briefly introduce the core concepts and some key technologies of the cloud native stack and then show how to build, package, compose and orchestrate a cloud native microservice application on top of a cluster operating system such as Kubernetes. To make this session even more entertaining we will be using off-the-shelf MIDI controllers to visualize the concepts and to remote control a Kubernetes cluster.

Microservices, Node, Dapr and more - Part One (Fontys Hogeschool, Spring 2022)Lucas Jellema
This session does a quick recap of microservices: why do we want them, what problems do they solve and what are the principles around designing and implementing them? The Dapr.io runtime framework for distributed applications is introduced. Dapr provides a sidecar (almost like a personal assistant to a manager) to an application or microservice, a companion process that handles common tasks such as storing and retrieving state, consuming and publishing messages and events, invoking external services and other microservices as well as handling incoming requests. Participants will do a handson lab with Dapr.io and learn how to quickly implement interactions with various technologies, including Redis and MySQL.
Node(JS) is introduced – a server side JavaScript-based programming language that can be used well for implementing microservices. Some of the main characteristics of NodeJS are discussed (functional programming, asynchronous flows, NPM package manager) as well as common use cases (handle incoming HTTP requests, invoke REST APIs). In the second lab, Node and Dapr are used together to implement microservices that interact with databases and message brokers and each other – in a decoupled fashion.

Frictionless Application Development: Radically Change How You Secure and Mo...DevOps.com
Containers are increasingly used by enterprises to accelerate agile development by eliminating friction from of software development. Containers are easily built, deployed and updated without reliance on permanent infrastructure. However, these dynamic container environments also bring a challenge when deployed in production, especially with respect to monitoring and security.
To address these challenges, Red Hat's OpenShift Container Platform provides a fully managed container platform. In addition, the Sysdig Container Intelligence Platform, brings a container-native monitoring and security solution that gives you full visibility and control of your OpenShift environment. Sysdig provides workflows to proactively scale, and manage your application performance across your private and public cloud infrastructure.
Anomaly Detection in Telecom with Spark - Tugdual Grall - Codemotion Amsterda...Codemotion
Telecom operators need to find operational anomalies in their networks very quickly. This need, however, is shared with many other industries as well so there are lessons for all of us here. Spark plus a streaming architecture can solve these problems very nicely. I will present both a practical architecture as well as design patterns and some detailed algorithms for detecting anomalies in event streams. These algorithms are simple but quite general and can be applied across a wide variety of situations.

Design System as a Product - Maria Elena Duenias, Esther Butcher
Design systems are a great example where web development and design meet. You can find innumerable resources on the internet, books and conferences on how to build them, and how they are exactly what your organization needs. But, building one requires a lot more than following a recipe. In this talk we are going to discuss how to build a design system as an internal product, and how it evolves to become what the users need.
Designers, Developers and Dogs: Finding the magic balance between product and tech - Charlotte Vorbeck, ShareNow and Sahil Bajaj
How can an agile delivery team become a successful product team? When does collaboration between product and tech succeed and when not? Why do people in some teams inspire each other while others in the same environment don't speak the same language? In this talk we want to share our learnings and experiences from rebuilding an internal tool for customer support at ShareNow. What could have been just another boring rewrite surprisingly became one of our best experiences in collaboration. We will look at how a joint discovery phase helped us to come up with a shared vision, how a better team setup enabled us to do the necessary work, how focusing on the customer kept us aligned during our journey, and also how we built upon existing collaborative techniques to achieve this new level of cooperation and trust.

How to create more business impact with flexible teams - Jan Hegewald, Zalando & Rebekka Beels, Zalando
Usually, Software Engineering teams are organized around a fixed set of components which they develop further and maintain. Such component teams gain a high level of expert knowledge about their services. However, with agile product development, it often is difficult to implement the most important initiatives with such teams. This leads to a situation where the teams do not work on the most relevant business topics but on those for the respective team. At Zalando, we introduced a new model where we shape teams flexibly around business goals to create the highest impact. How we organize these teams and which challenges especially for the software quality need to be addressed, will be explored in this talk.

Dual-Track Agile for Discovery & Development - Adriana Katrandzhieva
The talk will focus on one of the ways teams can ensure continuous delivery and design in their projects. The so-called ‘Dual-track’ model shows the parallel tracks of discovery and development throughout the product design and delivery process. These continually feedback into each other informing new hypothesis that can be tested in order to be proven/disproven. This model is not always easy to implement out of the box and so I will share my own experiences in applying it in practice - what worked, what didn't and how the model can be adjusted to fit different teams and organisational environments.
Designing the Developer Experience - Tanja Bach, Jacob Bo Tiedemann
Working with software that some other people have built, is not only daily business for private and business users but also for developers. Just like any other product, a product for developers needs to solve their problems and focus on the right jobs-to-be-done in order to be successfully adopted by the developer community. In this talk, we will explain why the developer experience matters not only to developers but also to the business. We will share our learnings and real-world examples of how we created a developer experience for a cloud infrastructure product and an IoT platform that the developers love.
When we design together - Sabrina Mach, Ammara Gafoor and James Emmott
From three distinct perspectives, this talk will contend that design is an activity undertaken by everyone in a software development team. It occurs throughout the process of delivery — not only at the beginning or the end — and it is a powerful instrument for learning about and adapting to the problems our work seeks to solve, which is a shared responsibility. Making the best use of our multidisciplinary expertise in the activity of design requires forms of collaboration that are too often disrupted by the role-based silos that keep us separated and weaken the valuable contribution our diverse approaches could make to our collective efforts. If you care about accelerating time to market, improving customer experience, or building happy and productive teams, you will want to know why and how it matters that we believe ‘design is in everything that we do’.
Hardware is hard(er): designing for distributed user experiences in IoT - Claire Rowland, www.clairerowland.com
Designing connected devices and hardware-enabled services is significantly more complex than pure software. There are more devices on which code can run, connectivity and data sharing patterns to consider, and often multiple and varied touchpoints for users to interact with. Pulling this all together into a coherent experience involves strong collaboration between design and engineering, and a systems thinking approach to UX. In this talk, we’ll introduce what designers need to know about the tech, what engineers need to know about UX for IoT, and how to facilitate the whole-collaboration needed to create great products.

Find out how to validate hypotheses quickly using feedback that comes from a (large enough) number of actual users interacting with your product. In this talk, we will show you the technical foundations, research techniques and organisational setup that we have used successfully on large-scale products. These will save you development time, enable you to go live with confidence, make decisions based on real behaviour instead of best guesses, and solve the actual problems your users are facing.
As a tech leader at ThoughtWorks, a large part of my job involves recommending practices to our clients so they can build and deliver good quality software faster. In doing so repeatedly for many clients I have created a toolkit that contains practical advice from being on the ground. This is what we do, we know it works. When Julius Caesar entered Rome with his army by crossing the river Rubicon, he did something that couldn’t be undone ever again. In your journey as a leader, avoid mistakes that are difficult to correct later. Here are a set of practices that you want to adopt as soon as possible.
Handling error conditions is a core part of the software we write. However, we often treat it as a second class citizen, obscuring our intent through abuse of null values and exceptions that make our code hard to understand and maintain. In the functional programming community, it is common to use datatypes such as Option, Either or Validated to make our intentions explicit when dealing with errors. We can leverage the compiler to verify that we are handling them instead of hoping for the best at runtime. This results in code that is clearer, without hidden path flows. We’ll show how we have been doing this in Kotlin, with the help of the Arrow library.
Mutation testing in software development surfaced in academia during the 70's and has recently seen a resurgence in popularity as a legitimate tool in your testing arsenal.

Do No Harm: Do Technologists Need a Code of Ethics?Thoughtworks
Nothing is neutral, and the technology we design and build, isn’t objective. How do we ensure that what starts out as a great idea, doesn’t unintentionally (or intentionally) harm? Trolling, racially biased algorithms, surveillance capitalism, how do we assess our creations through an ethical lens so our products don’t amplify social biases? Do we need a code of ethics? How do we build ethics in our practice?
In this talk Sofia explores these questions and builds on the conversations that are happening globally within the technology community. She also talks about the Responsible Tech Playbook that ThoughtWorks is building which collate ethical frameworks and explore how to use them in design and delivery of software.
SPEAKER:
Sofia Woods, Senior Experience Designer, ThoughtWorks
Sofia has over 10 years experience solving complex problems and designing digital products, experiences and services across government, financial services, transport and the private sectors. She’s a multi-disciplined designer, experienced with the whole gamut of Human Centred Design approaches including UX research, user interface design, prototyping/ testing and can apply this approach in large scale software delivery environments. Blending human centred design with strategy and technology, she creates meaningful experiences that transform.
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.

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.
3. RADAR AT A GLANCE
Items that are new or have had significant changes since the last
Radar are represented as triangles, while items that have not changed
are represented as circles.
Our Radar is forward looking. To make room for new items, we fade items that haven’t moved recently, which isn’t a
reflection on their value but rather our limited Radar real estate.
NEW OR CHANGED
NO CHANGE
HOLD
Proceed with caution.
ASSESS
Worth exploring with the goal of understanding
how it will affect your enterprise.
TRIAL
Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how
to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this
technology on a project that can handle the risk.
ADOPT
We feel strongly that the industry should be
adopting these items. We use them when
appropriate on our projects.
