Does your software delivery process involve more than a single click? Do software packages that were compiled on a developer’s machine ever end up in production? Do you ever skip steps in the build-test-deploy-verify process because they take too long or you just forgot one time because there are a dozen manual steps to follow? Is it difficult for you to roll back to a previous version if you find a serious issue with the version that’s now in production?
Continuous Integration (CI) is a fancy term for an automated process to manage software building, testing and deployment. It’s quite ironic that people who write software all the time to solve other people’s problems fail to take the time to develop a few scripts to make their own lives easier.
I will share my recent experience implementing the TeamCity automated build server for a .NET project and some of the serendipitous benefits we noticed almost right away. (TeamCity is actually written in Java and supports building and deploying just about any type of software.) There were a number of small gotchas, but the payoff has been tremendous. I hope my experience will help and encourage you to add some automation into your life.
I’ll also be demoing TeamCity’s ability to host an internal NuGet (.NET’s package manager) feed, which makes reusing common code libraries across multiple projects a breeze.

DevOps is grounded in the belief that IT operations and IT development (engineering and QA) can truly work as one IT resource to drive business agility. DevOps enables cross-functional IT teams to deliver projects faster and make service adjustments more frequently, at improved quality and reduced cost. This talk is designed for enterprise architects, IT development, IT operations and change management personnel interested in enhancing their collaborative landscape.

Open source is not just access to source code, it’s a totally different paradigm for developing software. This presentation will focus on practical aspects of using and contributing to open source projects such as open source licensing, getting support for open source software, and how to adopt open source in enterprise.

Sailing the treacherous waters of test automation is challenging at best. From executives thinking “it’s going to fix all of our quality problems, right?” to team members saying “no, that’s YOUR job,” our automation initiatives face an uphill battle with a tendency to struggle… or at least to not achieve their full potential. Let’s shed some light on several of these challenges and pitfalls while discussing some of the approaches we can use to avoid a voyage on the SS Failboat.
Paul Grizzaffi is the QA Automation Architect and Manager for Online Technology at GameStop. His career has focused on the creation and deployment of automated test frameworks, tools, and platforms. He holds a Master of Science in Computer Science and is a Certified Scrum Master (CSA) from Scrum Alliance. Paul has created automation platforms and tool frameworks based on proprietary, open source, and vendor supplied tool chains in diverse product environments (telecom, stock trading, and online/digital retail). He looks forward to expanding his automation and QA knowledge for other product environments.

Agile development is being used more and more but the Quality Assurance personnel and management are playing catch-up to be able to work in a lean environment and still produce quality testing. Waterfail, FrAgile, ScrumBut, KantBan, and DevFlops are all various amalgamations of different methodologies trying to be shoe horned into existing development and delivery patterns that tend to fall short in quality assurance practices. No one practice fits all but there are various tactics that can be used to help address some of those concerns and better limit the delivery quality exposure – especially in tight turn around projects.
