BangPypers Meetup - Talks

Title: Automation

Agenda:

10:15 - 10:30 - Introduction

10:30 - 11:15 - Building and maintaining a self-developed test-suite by Praveen

The takeaway would be:

• How to decouple test libraries and test-code for minimal impact when a product is under development

• Extending existing libraries to build test-friendly wrappers. Example: HTTP clients (like requests) and validate responses automatically etc. Similar principles for UI.

-How to modularize and test the test libraries themselves. How to maintain them in the long run.

• Mocking test environments for CI, Docker, bare metal etc.

11:15 - 11:30 - Windows task automation using pywinauto by Joydeep

11:30 - 11:45 - Break

11:45 - 12:00 - Writing scripts in python to run on raspberry pi by Naman Bajaj

12:15 - 12:45 - Building Scalable Server Automation with Python - Srinath

Srinath will talk about the challenges faced and factors to consider while building large-scale server automation tooling. For reference, the Calm.io automation engine automates IT processes across tens of thousands of servers at multiple large companies, which has exposed us to a unique set of challenges, and led to the evolution of the core components over the last 8 years.

Srinath is Open Source Enthusiast, Polyglot Programmer with backend development experience. Works on building and deploying scalable web applications across multiple clouds. Tech Lead at Calm.io.

RSVP opens a week before the event.
