Continuous Integration & Delivery Best Practices

Both an opening to the night and the meetup group, William Josephson of Solano Labs will discuss best practices of Automation, CI & CD. He will also offer some key points about how you can apply them within your own organization.

Retrofitting a Large-Scale Testing Culture: Tools, Processes, and Adoption

By mid-2010, Google had developed and deployed a company-wide continuous integration and test system that could provide precisely relevant and timely results for every code change and developer build. This talk by an ex-Google engineer will highlight the tools and processes upon which this system was built, and outline the engineering culture changes that fostered their development and adoption. This talk is completely unofficial and unendorsed by Google.
And a bio:
Mike Bland was a software engineer at Google from 2005 to 2011. Prior to working on websearch infrastructure, Mike led the Testing Grouplet and Fixit Grouplet; was a member of the Test Mercenaries, Testing Tech, and Build Tools teams; and was instrumental in bringing about the engineering culture changes that made thorough developer testing the accepted cultural norm. He does not represent Google in any official capacity whatsoever, and is currently a student at Berklee College of Music. Mike was born and raised in Virginia. http://mike-bland.com/

Code Coverage for Testing

During this talk I will discuss test code coverage and its utility during different levels of testing. I will also show examples of code coverage limitations, and why it is important to know the limits to avoid the false sense of security.

Multiple Products & Browser Automation

How do you organize your browser test automation to support multiple products? How do you make it effortless and intuitive for engineers to trust, use, and, most importantly, maintain browser tests? I would present the test automation I have built using open source technologies to address these questions
