Our speaker line-up is really incredible, speakers from large enterprises, including The Walt Disney Company, Macy’s, US Citizenship and Immigration Services, Target, Nordstrom, SalesForce, Microsoft, GE, Cisco, Huawei and more will be sharing their DevOps
Courtney Kissler (Senior Director, Selling Technology Management at Nordstrom) will be talking about “Transforming to a Culture of Continuous Improvement.” What are your best practices that you've learned?
We are going transforming our organization to be focused on speed to value with zero waste. For us, that means truly understanding the value stream and how to reduce cycle time.
The practice of problem solving, using A3s, getting to true root cause and having our leaders teach/coach and honor reality have been some of the practices we are implementing. It's a journey.
@testobsessed Thanks! I got challenged by a few of our Senior Leaders when I first put that out there. "Zero waste - how could that ever happen?!?!" Well, let's not set our bar too low. ;-)
Because everything is now capable of being connected to the internet (thus increasing our proximity to risk), how does everyone see software practices adapt in the future? #DOES14#IoT
Look at the rise of the Intelligent Automobile that is Connected and Automated (self-driving). In the future your car will connect to back-end IT/cloud services and you car will also communicate with other vehicles and the transportation infrastructure
People will expect the frequency of updates they see now on their iPhones (no 8.0.1 jokes) for all things. Too many consumer systems have lived in a world of single releases for too long.
Protocol design (handshaking, failsafes, security, authentication, etc.) must be both incredibly complex and incredibly elegant if we want to connect everything to everything.
With next-gen embedded software products, testing will become even more complex. And the software on that product will increasingly be patched and updated over-the-air (OTA). Look at how Tesla address their last product "recall" with a SW patch
Scott Prugh @ScottPrugh (the Chief Architect at CSG International) what are the key takeaways from your session, “DevOps & Lean in Legacy Environments”? Can you give us a taste of the content? :-)
We've got a great party planned at the DevOps Enterprise Summit. We'll host our party at the Computer History Museum with a cool Back to the Future theme including the Delorean time machine, classic arcade games, 80s music, and more
@catpoetry LOL, would not be my first! Does that even happen anymore? Don't DJs just set their Macs to autopilot and go dance these days? #ShowingMyAge#GetOffMyLawn
At the event Elisabeth Hendricksen is the Director of Quality Engineering at Pivotal Labs is presenting “On the Care and Feeding of Feedback Cycles” about? @testobsessed what is this about?
Feedback comes in many forms, only some of which are traditionally considered testing. This talk catalogs various types of feedback and how to make sure you're getting enough of it.
@testobsessed Excellent! I hope to see this at some stage (I sadly have to miss the event). I have a 4-vector model of devops feedback I am working on, planning to post about it next week. Would love to see your preso, and compare notes sometime.\
@stbrodie feedback on... ...code with unit/integration tests ...a build with CI ...emergent behavior of the system with exploratory testing ...intentions with user testing ...business model with the lean startup build/measure/learn cycle
