Hashicorp Vault / Lessons Learned in TDD/BDD+CI/CD

Formerly: Security Testing in Continuous Integration

We had to change plans, since one of the speakers for the planned event
"Security Testing in Continuous Integration" had to cancel the event. We will find a new date for the session 2020.

Luckily we were able to arrange an alternative and will have 2 talks now:

1st Talk - Hashicorp Vaul with Malte Brodersen (Zoi)

The management of secrets becomes more and more a topic in many organizations. This is particularly driven by automation.
Therefore I would like to introduce the OpenSource tool Vault from Hashicorp.
This addresses many of the challenges, but also brings many new challenges.

2nd Talk - Lessons Learned in TDD/BDD+CI/CD with Oliver Wolf (AnyNines)

Even though there are a lot of best practices on how to structure actual program code - Design Pattern, SOLID Principles - there are few best practices on how to structure test suite code. Also, the structure of the test suite is often considered to be less important than the structure of the actual application code. Weak decisions in building tests are the result of those circumstances.

During the presentation, we are going to make some daring statements which should lead to interesting discussions and new impulses. We'll come up with new definitions of all test-related terms we know. We'll talk about why unit tests are bad and good. Why the test pyramid might not give you the best guidance and why customers don't like Gherkins.

In the end I will present a simple test suite structure which I applied in a side project. We will talk about a system which does not make you think where to put the "describe" and "it" statements. The presented guidelines aim to enable developers to reach the best possible test coverage without thinking too much.

After the sessions, there will be some food and drinks and we will have time to socialize and end the DevOps Stuttgart Meetup season 2019. We are looking forward to see you all at ZOI!
