DevOps Porto #16: Testing travel guide to Continuous Delivery

Wed, 16 May 2018 18:45:00 +0100

Welcome to our 16th meetup about DevOps and it's culture, values and practices. This time our meetup will be hosted by I2S.

In a fast paced and agile world organizations have to move fast so that they can deliver high value to their customers. Continuous Delivery is a major trend in tech industry, but we cannot compromise quality for speed. Companies need to adapt their delivery process for such a frequent release schedule.

How can you adapt your growing test suite so that you are not trapped in a “slow” delivery process? How can you divide tests in types and levels for a better optimization? What tests should you have for your specific project?
But it's not just about tests. How can you design your pipelines to cope with this new testing mindeset? How can a DevOps mindset help a team be more productive while having a better testing coverage? This talk aims to explain how to deliver better software in a fast way at the same time.

Our invited speaker André Carmo will show his point of view about this.

André Carmo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrecarmo/) is a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Farfetch, after being a Test Automation Lead. He has been helping the Farfetch tech team to have better continuous delivery by spreading the word about test automation, by developing testing tools and frameworks, and by implementing complex but simple to use pipelines for continuous delivery. With 5+ years of experience in software testing, he was also a software developer in the past. He is very happy to learn new things from new people.

DevOps Porto #15: Acceptance Testing for Continuous Delivery

Wed, 18 Apr 2018 18:45:00 +0100

Welcome to our 15th meetup about DevOps and it's culture, values and practices. This time around we will hosting Dave Farley (@davefarley77), the well known thought leader and co-author of the seminal book "Continuous Delivery". Currently, he is an independent software developer and consultant, and founder and director of Continuous Delivery Ltd. He will be talking about Acceptance Testing for Continuous Delivery.

Writing and maintaining a suite of acceptance tests that can give you a high level of confidence in the behaviour and configuration of your system is a complex task. In this talk Dave will describe approaches to acceptance testing that allow teams to: work quickly and effectively; build excellent functional coverage for complex enterprise-scale systems; manage and maintain those tests in the face of change, and of evolution in both the codebase and the understanding of the business problem.

This talk will answer the following questions, and more: How do you fail fast? How do you make your testing scalable? How do you isolate test cases from one-another? How do you maintain a working body of tests when you radically change the interface to your system?

Agenda:
• Welcome
• Acceptance Testing for Continuous Delivery by Dave Farley
• Open space forum
• Coffee & Networking
• Closing
