We’ll Fix it in Production and Other Things I Used to Say Before Joining QA

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 - 10:30am to 11:15pm

We’ll fix it in production…Time for a hotfix…Why don’t our users understand…Did we actually lose the customer? Any of this sound familiar? How about QA is such a bottleneck…What do they even do, and why am I spending 1/3 of my IT budget on it? All of these are things that same out of my mouth at some point in last 15 years. Being QA adjacent led me to believe that QA’s role was basically picking up the pieces of lazy Developers and SysAdmins. I mean if people just did their jobs, we would have no need for QA…Right? Well…Yes…and No. QA holds an extremely vital role for organizations. A fact...

Open Source Developers are Security's New Front Line

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 - 11:45am to 12:30pm

Implementing Business Agility Through Value Streams

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 - 11:45am to 12:30pm

Agile transformations involve organizational transformation. This business level agility is the core element of even large-scale agile transformation frameworks like the SAFe and Disciplined Agile Delivery. When teams have emotional attachments to tools that fail to support business agility with total cost of ownership or when people focus on vocabulary without understanding the overarching purpose, the focus on value is undermined. These are the reasons why I claim that while Agile is a teenager, agility is a toddler still. Sriram will focus on four critical elements of implementing...

Completing the Promise of CI/CD with Continuous Merge

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 - 3:00pm to 3:45pm

Pull requests have become the No. 1 undiagnosed bottleneck in engineering…and we have the data to prove it. After analyzing 1,000,000 pull requests, LinearB has uncovered CI/CD’s greatest weakness and - thankfully - a eureka moment that will forever change the developer experience: Continuous Merge.

Here’s the dirty little secret: not all PRs are created equal. They don’t all need the same level of effort and some of them don’t need any human intervention at all--it’s just a matter of using data and context to know which is which and creating intelligent automation workflows to...

Connecting the Dots: A Dive Through the Layers of Your Open-Source Supply Chain

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 - 3:00pm to 3:45pm

In this session, we’ll explore the relationship between open-source libraries commonly used together in modern open-source applications and what you need...

Enterprises are well on their way with Agile/Lean/DevOps and have made substantial gains but are they focused on the right thing.

Addressing Sore Spots within Web 3.0 with Synthetic Monitoring Web 3.0

Thursday, November 10, 2022 - 11:30am to 12:15pm

If you’ve ever left a toothache untreated for any length of time, you might get by for a little while, but eventually you end up having to have something worse than a filling, like a root canal. Unfortunately, a lot of businesses right now are in that early toothache stage when it comes to understanding the health and performance of their applications.

With the rise of cloud-native apps and APIs means they’re already starting to experience a lack of visibility as more discrete layers in the stack prevent them from seeing what is happening with the user experience. Web 3.0 promises to...

Eliminating Silos in Scrum: How to Avoid a Major Agile Failure

Thursday, November 10, 2022 - 1:30pm to 2:15pm

While many organizations report using “agile” development approaches, the truth is their processes and culture are anything but.

In this industry technical presentation, Jeff outlines common mistakes organizations make when implementing Scrum and how to overcome them.
