Interact Differently: Get More From Your Tools Through Exposed APIs

Kevin Fealey

Most tools are designed with a single function in mind, but can often be leveraged for additional workflows as well. For example, SonarQube is a marketed as a platform to manage code quality, but custom plugins can also enable security testing. At its heart, Jenkins is a build tool, but it can be used for security testing as well. Don't like the security dashboard applications bundled with your commercial security tools? Either Jenkins or SonarQube can replace them! Can't stand viewing your tool exports in Excel? A simple XML transformation can allow you to see your data in a way that makes sense to you. Welcome to the age of APIs. Nearly every major software product now exposes RESTful APIs, an SDK, command line, or plugin interface. Don't limit yourself to out-of-the-box functionality - customize your tools to work best for you. This talk will describe some ways exposed APIs and plugin interfaces in commercial and open source products have been used to make work more effective and efficient. We'll demonstrate simple tools that interact with common software packages, like Jenkins, SonarQube, and OWASP ZAP, to streamline workflows and provide better visibility on what matters most to us. And we'll tell you how to get started getting more out of the tools you already use.

Augmenting Regression Testing in Agile Teams

TechWell

Today, three things are undeniable facts of business—projects are becoming more agile, teams are learning to function well remotely, and the tester’s role is evolving. Mike Hrycyk believes that testers in agile teams face daunting challenges and often struggle to keep up with the pace of new feature development while performing all the needed regression testing activities. Mike offers a strategy as an alternate path: the creation of a regression testing team to augment feature teams, one that works in parallel, handling the testing regression cycle while the feature teams—developers and testers—continue to work through new development. Mike offers tips for successful feature handoff, intra-team communication, and troubleshooting hurdles that will be encountered. Although augmented regression testing is at odds with the advice of many agile “experts,” it enabled their agile development to achieve higher velocity.

Microservice, Micro Deployments and DevOps

Alois Reitbauer

Micro Services provide a means to build more flexible infrastructures that can maintained by large and distributed teams. Micro Deployments allow us to constantly evolve our applications step by step in small increments constantly. These paradigms helps us to achieve more agility. At the same time the force us to rethink how we run our DevOps processes. This talk covers the key requirements for DevOps follow the Site Reliability Engineering approach

The Journey to Devops: From Waterfall to Continuous Integration

Principles of microservices velocity

Sam Newman

Microservices are small services with independent lifecycles that work together. There is an underlying tension in that definition – how independent can you be when you have to be part of a whole? I’ve spent much of the last couple of years trying to understand how to find the right balance, and in this talk/tutorial I’ll be presenting the core seven principles that I think represent what makes microservices tick. After a brief introduction of what microservices are and why they are important, we’ll spend the bulk of the time looking at the principles themselves, wherever possible covering real-world examples and technology: - Modelled around business domain – using techniques from domain-driven design to find service boundaries leads to better team alignment and more stable service boundaries, avoiding expensive cross-service changes. - Culture of automation – all organisations that use microservices at scale have strong cultures of automation. We’ll look at some of their stories and think about which sort of automation is key. - Hide implementation details – how do you hide the detail inside each service to avoid coupling, and ensure each service retains its autonomous nature? - Decentralize all the things! – we have to push power down as far as we can, and this goes for both the system and organisational architecture. We’ll look at everything from autonomous self-contained teams and internal open source, to using choreographed systems to handle long-lived business transactions. - Deploy independently – this is all about being able to deploy safely. So we’ll cover everything from deployment models to consumer-driven contracts and the importance of separating deployment from release. - Isolate failure – just making a system distributed doesn’t make it more stable than a monolithic application. So what do you need to look for? - Highly observable – we need to understand the health of a single service, but also the whole ecosystem. How? In terms of learning outcomes, beginners will get a sense of what microservices are and what makes them different, whereas more experienced practitioners will get insight and practical advice into how to implement them.
