DevOps and Continuous Delivery with Visual Studio 2015 and VSTSSolidify
Som utvecklare är det ofta självklart att kodandet är den viktigaste aktiviteten i projektet. Men om inte funktioner för releaseplanering, källkodshantering, deployment och testning finns på plats så är det vanligt att dessa aktiviteter tar en stor del av utvecklingsarbetet.
DevOps och Continuous Delivery är synsätt som vi använder för att säkerställa snabba leveranser av god kvalitet. Microsoft Azure och Visual Studio har mängder av funktioner som underlättar arbetet så att arbetssätt och verktyg samverkar på ett effektivt sätt.
I detta seminarium kommer vi att förklara vad DevOps är för något och hur detta synsätt kan användas för att säkerställa snabba leveranser med god kvalitet. DevOps hjälper oss överbrygga arbetet i utveckling och drift med fokus på att säkerställa leverenspresision och kvalitet, bland annat genom att se till att bra lösningar för applikationsövervakning, felrapportering, paketering och deployment finns på plats.
Den andra delen vi kommer fokusera på är Continuous Delivery. Med den senaste versionen av Visual Studio Release Management visar vi vad Continuous Delivery är genom att sätta upp en komplett lösning som automatiskt tar kod till produktion. I Visual Studio 2015 sviten har vi ett helt nytt byggsystem och väl integrerade lösningar kring release management, deployment och automatiserad testning som gör plattformen förträfflig för att implementera en continuous delivery process. För att så snabbt och enkelt som möjligt tillgodogöra oss dessa koncept kommer vi använda molnplattformarna Azure och Visual Studio Online, med dessa kan vi flytta utvecklingsplattformen till molnet och få helt nya förutsättningar för snabbare releaser.
Så missa inte denna chans att vara en av de första att se en komplett Continuous Delivery-lösning byggd på den senaste Microsofttekniken!

DevOps Summit 2015 Presentation: Continuous Testing At the Speed of DevOpsSailaja Tennati
Continuous delivery is frightening to enterprise IT managers who see each new private, public or hybrid cloud infrastructure software change potentially causing service outages or security concerns.
This presentation by Marc Hornbeek, first shared at the DevOps Summit 2015 in London, explains Spirent’s comprehensive Clear DevOps Solution to support:
- Rapid paced continuous testing without compromising coverage or service quality
- Orchestration of service deployments over physical and virtual infrastructures
- Best practices for integrating continuous testing into CI infrastructures
- How to use continuous testing analytics for deployment decisions
DOES15 - Sherry Chang - Intel’s Journey to Large Scale DevOps Transformation Gene Kim
Sherry Chang, Enterprise Architect, Intel
Is it possible to transform large enterprises with 100’s of in-flight projects across myriad technology stacks and entrenched processes, requiring massive workforce re-skilling? In this session, I’ll share approaches we employed to increase the likelihood of success through DevOps adoption by:
-Offering of a common Continuous Delivery Service, similar to industry offerings from Codeship.io, CloudBees, and others
-Establishing a Maturity Model to help teams incrementally adopt DevOps practices
-Coaching teams through Kaizen sessions to eliminate bottlenecks and waste in their value stream
DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization's ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes.
More and more organizations are turning to DevOps as a way of working together to improve the efficiency and quality of software delivery and start adding more value to the business. But what exactly is DevOps and what does it mean for you and your organization?
Join Microsoft Data Platform MVP Kendra Little to discover:
• What is DevOps and what benefits can it offer your organization?
• Who in your organization should be involved in DevOps?
• Why should your organization adopt DevOps?
• How can your organization start implementing DevOps?
Why do we need to have software testing happen in a continuous manner? This deck explains the importance of Continuous Integration and a case study of 24x7 Testing.
The pursuit for the perfect synchrony between software development and IT operations is still ongoing, and striking the balance won’t happen any time soon. Understand and address these 5 common DevOps challenges to achieve a higher- functioning and collaborative organization.
Recently I was asked to explain what dev-ops is at a large enterprise software vendor undergoing transformation.
In these slides, I present the concepts, tools and mindset that drive DevOPS.
Continuous Delivery presents a compelling vision of builds that are automatically deployed and tested until ready for production.
Most teams aren't there yet. Some never want to go that far. Others want to push the envelope further.
This deck presents a model for scoring yourself on the continuum and examples of how companies can decide what parts of CD to adopt first, later and not at all.

Discussion of what DevOps is, why we need it, what sorts of shared tooling helps it, and how it fits in to an enterprise rollout.
DevOps isn’t just for the “unicorn” companies out there like Google and Apple. DevOps practices are rapidly hitting the mainstream as more organizations realize the need to behave like software companies and improve how they work in order to deliver better value to customers.
If you’re sold on the value of DevOps but having trouble getting buy-in from your peers and managers, or if you’re not sure where to get started, this webinar is for you. Based on findings from the 2016 State of DevOps Report, our friends at Puppet share a roadmap for driving DevOps adoption within your organization.
We cover:
- How to build the business case for DevOps
- The cultural changes required
- Ways to align incentives and teams to improve collaboration
- Key technical practices of high-performing teams
- Where to start
DevOps is becoming the latest revolution in the field of Information Technology. DevOps is an extension of agile principles which focuses of user's satisfaction. DevOps is a mix of Product Development, Quality Assurance, and System Operation. It brings down the silos between these departments to increase efficiency in the products of an enterprise.
Nowadays, more and more enterprises are embracing DevOps for its advantages. This presentation is just an introduction of DevOps. People who don't have a deep understanding of computer & IT concepts, can easily follow the commentary on DevOps in this presentation.
Demystifying DevOps for Ops - Including Findings from the 2015 State of DevOp...Puppet
DevOps represents a profound change from the way most IT departments have traditionally worked: from siloed teams and high-anxiety releases to everyone collaborating on uneventful and more frequent releases of higher-quality code.
It doesn't matter how large or small an organization is, or even whether it's historically slow moving or risk averse — there are ways to adopt DevOps sanely, and get measurable results in just weeks.
DevOps, sibling of Agile is born of the need to improve IT service delivery agility to the more stable environment.
DevOps movement emphasizes tearing the boundaries between makers (Development) & caretakers (Operations) of IT services/products.
How do measure our progress in a journey towards continuous integration? What are other people doing?
This presentation provides an measuring stick for CD Maturity and simple pattern for reviewing your current situation and deciding what to work on next.
Evolution of the DevOps Quality Management OfficeCapgemini
DevOps is still evolving as a movement, and as teams adopt it, they will see the need for increased and continuous quality along with continuous delivery. The DevOps Quality Management Office is a function that drives testing efficiencies in DevOps initiatives, with processes, tools and competencies to reduce test execution time between development and operations. The prime goal is to optimize QA efficiencies upstream, downstream, and centrally. In this session, learn about critical competencies, frameworks and processes to build this function, components of a QMO, differences between traditional testing and testing in DevOps, and HP tools to aid DevOps.
This huge transformation for Visual Studio to enable the creation of any application is two-fold, on the server and on the client:
On the client side, Visual Studio 2015 provides a solution to create first-class applications for any device including iOS, Android and Windows.
On the server side, just like the rest of the Microsoft platform, Visual Studio is embracing Linux and provides a development environment for creating server applications that run on Linux.
We will also support major platforms in our ALM tooling – with features like cross-platform build and heterogenous release management offered by TFS 2015 and Visual Studio Online
What about “every developer”?
Last year, at our Connect() event we made a significant announcement targeted at individual developers, such as students, start-ups, small businesses.
With VS Community, eligible developers can use a full IDE, equivalent to the current VS Professional edition, for creating applications across the cloud and devices – for free!
But what about Enterprises?
With Visual Studio 2015, we are making it easier for enterprises to acquire and use Visual Studio, with a simpler model that will give developers working in organizations easier and more affordable access to Visual Studio. In this new model, we have introduced a new edition of Visual Studio called Visual Studio Enterprise.

Nuevosoft Test Manager is a simplest and most effective test management solution in the industry. It helps improve testcase quality using innovative methods.
Despite the belief that a shared context and collaboration drives quality, too often, software testers and quality professionals struggle to find their place within today's integrated agile teams. This session is a practitioner’s view of testing and testing practices within an iterative/incremental development environment. We will begin with a discussion of some of the challenges of testing within an agile environment and delve into the guiding principles of Agile Testing and key enabling practices. Agile Testing necessitates a change in mindset, and it is as much, if not more, about behavior, as it is about skills and tooling, all of which will be explored.
Between spending hours (or days!) making sure you can code and test locally and the difficulties of keeping remote environments up to date, sometimes we find ourselves falling back on "It works on my machine!". Getting rid of the difficulties in making new development environments and maintaining testing infrastructure is really key to banishing the dreaded phrase. In this session, we'll take you through some of the recent tools and techs that will not only make your life easier but will mean you never have to say "works on my machine" ever again.
Azure Devops provides a set of cloud DevOps services that allow enterprises to deliver business outcomes, from an idea to production-level code. Azure Devops works for any language, any cloud, and any platform.

Feedback helps us to build stronger teams, supports more effective problem-solving and collaboration, and ultimately contributes to happier people delivering better products. Without effective feedback, we can spend time focusing on the wrong things, solving the wrong problems, maybe not even knowing about problems in the first place! In my experience, people are generally not confident in their feedback skills. This makes feedback feel risky, vulnerable, scary, even downright anxiety-inducing and so then they give no feedback at all.
Feedback Doesn't Have to Suck. In this fast-paced 20 minute session focused on supercharging your feedback skills, I will help you get a good foothold on where to start. We’ll warm up with an overview of what feedback is, attributes of high-quality feedback, and some “tips and tricks” to getting comfortable with giving and receiving candid feedback that has worked really well for me both as a manager and a team member. You’ll be a feedback champion before you know it!
VS Liv MSHQ 2022 - Measuring Up! How To Choose Agile Metrics - Dugan.pdfAngela Dugan
How many times have you been asked to deliver on metrics that did not make sense to you, that felt counterproductive to your or the team's effectiveness, or that were seemingly impossible to collect in a sane fashion? Oftentimes, I find that metrics being collected are ones that are easy to collect and report on but are not necessarily the ones that will help the team learn and improve.
When it comes to software delivery, lean and agile practices and methodologies have taken the lead. Metrics have lagged a bit and often rely on very waterfall-style milestones and phase-gates to determine a team's effectiveness. In the spirit of continuous improvement, this session will take a look at the measures we can and should collect from agile teams, why these metrics are relevant and interesting, and how we can use them to help our teams continuously improve.
VS Live 2021 Orlando - vst14 feedback skillsAngela Dugan
Feedback helps us to build stronger teams, supports more effective problem-solve and collaboration, and ultimately contributes to delivering better products. Without it, we can spend time focusing on the wrong things, solving the wrong problems, maybe not even knowing about problems in the first place!
So if feedback is critical to us growing and thriving, why aren't we all excitedly showering each other with feedback all the time, and BEGGING others to give it to us? In my experience, people are generally not enthusiastic or confident in their ability to give feedback. Feedback usually isn't happening because feedback feels risky, vulnerable, scary, even downright anxiety-inducing.
As a manager, leader, and coach of many teams over the last 20+ years, I can help you get a good foothold on where to start. Even better, I can tell you where the bodies are buried so you avoid some of the mistakes I've experienced over the years too.
In this session, we'll warm up with an overview of what feedback is and is not. We'll also review the qualities of high-quality feedback, as well as the other kinds of feedback so you know the difference. We'll finish off with a quick summary of some "tips and tricks" to getting comfortable with giving and receiving candid feedback that has worked really well for me. You'll be a feedback champion before you know it!
VS Live 2021 VST09 agile team metrics Fast Focus - angela duganAngela Dugan
Are you still relying on the old standbys like percent complete, velocity, and burndown for monitoring the progress of your teams or projects? Those metrics may not be telling you what you think they are! In this fast-paced discussion, we'll talk about some of the pitfalls of commonly used metrics, and make the case for not so commonly used measures that give you the insights that you're really striving for.
You will learn:
Understand the connection between what you measure, your team performance, and product quality
Explanation of how many commonly used metrics will fail to tell you what you really need to know
Familiarity with uncommonly used metrics that will more reliably tell you how well your project or team are really doing
THAT Conference 2021 - Level up your Feedback GameAngela Dugan
Feedback makes the world go around, and let’s be honest, many of us feel pretty unskilled at feedback - both at giving and receiving. As technologists, we thrive on experimenting, learning, and adjusting, which we cannot do without the input and perspectives of others around us.
So if feedback is critical to us growing and thriving, if feedback is truly a “gift”, what’s the deal? Why isn’t everyone wholeheartedly and excitedly showering each other with feedback all the time? In my experience, feedback isn’t happening because feedback feels risky, vulnerable, scary, even downright anxiety-inducing. Feedback is also something we’re not trained to do well if at all. Bad practices like the “feedback sh*t sandwich” is still common practice. It may even feel like a personal and professional bear trap! In this session, we’ll warm up with an overview of what feedback is and is not. We’ll also review the qualities of high-quality feedback, as well as the other kinds of feedback so you know the difference.
That conference tap, tap, tap communicationAngela Dugan
In the 20 or so years since I joined the tech community, I moved from an attitude of "please leave me alone in my cube to code and whatever you do don't talk to me!" to well, giving talks on the importance of communication in the software world. The tools and techniques I've come to know and love have changed over time, but a few things have remained constant.
1) Communicating openly and honestly at all times is HARD
2) Speaking from a place of vulnerability is RIDICULOUSLY HARD
3) Without 1 and 2 you're going to really struggle to be an effective and happy member of ANY software team
OK, there's a 4th thing.
4) The days of working alone in your cube like a hermit are largely over for software folks. It really doesn't have to suck. I swear it doesn’t.
During my brief time with you, I’m going to rumble with some touch topics and share some of my own embarrassing and enlightening stumbles. It will include things like delivering “bad news” to your client/manager/team and feeling good about it, managing conflict with others in healthy and productive ways, and delivering feedback without feeling like you (or the receiver) will vomit. These things are all very possible, and not that hard to master once you have some key tools and insights in your tool belt.
Agile days chicago 2018 - how do you measure up?Angela Dugan
How many times have you been asked to deliver on metrics that did not make sense, that were counterproductive to the team’s effectiveness, or the organization’s effectiveness? Did those metrics seem impossible to collect? Often times, the metrics being collected are the ones that are easy, and focused on individual “productivity”. How do we collect data that drives continuous improvement and promotes an open and trust-filled environment. How does that change at scale?
When it comes to software delivery, lean and agile practices have clearly taken the lead. This session will take a look at the measures we can and should collect across teams and organizations. We’ll dig into metrics that are relevant, interesting, AND useful, and discuss some of the common traps.

When it comes to software delivery, lean and agile practices and methodologies have clearly taken the lead. In the spirit of Kaizen, this session will take a look at the measures you can and should collect from agile teams, why these metrics are relevant and interesting, and how you can use them to help your teams continuously improve.
Chicago Code Camp 2018 - Building strong teamsAngela Dugan
Building the “perfect team” seems like an impossible task these days. Can a truly “cross-functional” team even be built? How do you get introverts and extroverts (yes, they DO exist in IT) to play nice? Seems like these days you practically need a degree in psychology to get this right. But you don’t.
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with my clients and my company to develop high functioning teams. I’ve found that regardless of focus (software development, marketing, sales), there are patterns to what makes teams successful, and what can hold them back from greatness.
In this talk, I’ll cover a couple of tools for understanding the needs and strengths of your individual team members, identifying strength gaps, and action items for creating a happy and well-balanced team that can get it done!
Dev up 2017 - Half Day Workshop: Getting your agile team unstuckAngela Dugan
Whether you've been working on an agile team for 6 months, or 6 years, the same obstacles tend to arise to trip us up over and over. Maybe your retrospectives feel more like a death march and no one is participating any more, or your daily stand-ups have bloated into 25 team member status meetings, or you have a QA team that feels buried by your fast-paced development team. These situations are unfortunately very common, and they lower team morale, lead to abandoned transformation initiatives, and ultimately your product and customers suffer because of it. But there's a better way! As an agile coach and consultant, I help software organizations stop the bleeding, mature their process, and develop into high functioning agile teams. And to be clear, I've made mistakes as well! I'd like to share with the audience my own experiences, including strategies that succeeded and failed in hopes of leading them down the path to getting their own teams "unstuck". I'll also give attendees an opportunity to share their own challenges, so that we can leverage those strategies to give them ideas for blasting through their own roadblocks.
Learning points:
Recognizing when your process, product, or people have gone off the rails by identifying "smells"
Review some tools and strategies that teams can leverage when they need a cognitive reset to get them back on track
How to apply tools and strategies in your own unique environments.
How many times have you been asked to deliver on metrics that did not make sense, that were counterproductive to the team's effectiveness, or that were seemingly impossible to collect? Often times, the metrics being collected are the ones that are easy, but not necessarily the ones that matter. In some cases, metrics can even have a demoralizing or counterproductive effect on the team!
When it comes to software delivery, lean and agile practices and methodologies have clearly taken the lead. In the spirit of Kaizen, this session will take a look at the measures we can and should collect from agile teams, why these metrics are relevant and interesting, and how we can use them to help our teams continuously improve.
Key Learnings:
Why is it so difficult to identify meaningful metrics in the software world?
What are the best types of quality focused metrics to focus on in an agile organization?
Examples of good, bad, and ugly metrics, as well as how to analyze and interpret them
That conference 2017 - Getting your Agile Team UnstuckAngela Dugan
Whether you've been working on an agile team for 6 months, or 6 years, the same obstacles tend to arise to trip us up over and over. Maybe your retrospectives feel more like a funeral and no one is participating anymore, your daily stand-ups have bloated into 25 team member status meetings, or your QA team is falling farther and farther behind the agile developers and feel like they’ll never catch up with their testing backlog. These are the kinds of issues I see all of the time. They lower team morale, lead to abandoned transformation initiatives, and ultimately your product and customers suffer because of it. But there’s a better way!
As an agile coach and consultant, I have worked with dozens of teams to stop the bleeding, strengthen their relationships, mature their processes, and help them grow into high functioning agile machines. And to be clear, I’ve made mistakes as well! I’d like to share with the audience my own experiences and lessons-learned, including both what succeeded and what failed in hopes to lead you down the path to getting your own team “unstuck”.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
