PyBerlin 25 - 🌱 Spring is coming event 🌱

Agenda:

• 19:00 - Welcome to PyBerlin! // Organisers

• 19:10 - Good Practices for the Development of Algorithmic Systems // Luben Alexandrov

Talk details:
Nowadays many of the developed software systems are including algorithms at their core, for example algorithms in the area of machine learning. While there are many libraries where one could use already implemented algorithms or pre-trained models there is still not so much knowledge on what is actually a good process for developing such systems. In this talk we will propose some (in our opinion) good practices for such a process. An example of design, implementation and experimentation for a minimalistic algorithmic system is used to depict the application and use of the proposed practices. Further scientific articles related to engineering algorithms will be analysed to illustrate that the described practices have already been successfully applied.

Speaker's bio:
Luben is a programmer/software architect who in his spare time acts as the CEO of Perelik Soft (https://pereliksoft.com/). He studied Computer Science in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology where he did research in the area of algorithms for Matrix Multiplication. In the last years he
has been focusing on helping companies with complex software projects.

• 19:50 - Short break

• 20:00 - Better functional tests with APIs and Behave // Vinícius Gubiani Ferreira

Talk details:
Better functional tests with APIs and Behave - Ensuring quality for your customers is hard, and it gets harder every day as you have many, many projects on your ecosystem, which might allow errors to sneak into your code. Even with lots of unit and integration tests, errors might slip unnoticed and have severe consequences for the clients that use your company's software/services. The ultimate approach to wipe out those bugs is adding functional tests on the user interface, but that sometimes doesn't have the desired results. In this talk I'll present how we are migrating from User Interface tests to API tests with Behave, and having better results with bonus results during the process.

Speaker's bio:
Vinicius is a backend developer with focus on Python for the last 6 years, and with a crush on QA. Currently working as a Software Engineer at Azion Technologies ( azion.com ), he also engages with the community by translating the Python documentation to Brazilian Portuguese. Studied Electrical Engineering in Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, and Software Engineering in Pontifical Catholic University RS. Also loves craft beer and riding a bicycle around the park.
