Continuous delivery

Getting software released to users is often a painful, risky, and time-consuming process. This tutorial sets out the principles and technical practices that enable rapid, incremental delivery of high quality, valuable new functionality to users. Through automation of the build, deployment, and testing process, and improved collaboration between developers, testers and operations, delivery teams can get changes released in a matter of hours–sometimes even minutes.

My mom told me that Git doesn't scale

With over 2 million and a half repositories, GitHub is the world's largest source code host. Since day one, we've faced an unique engineering problem: making terabytes of Git data always available, either directly or through our website. This talk offers a hopefully insightful view into the internals of Git, the way its original design affects our scalable architecture, and the many things we've learnt while solving this fascinating problem.

Security Inception

Learn how your organization can fall prey to malicious attackers. Using real-world case studies you'll see how hackers exploited and embarrassed well-known companies. See how attackers abuse common coding mistakes to exploit issues like SQL Injection and Command Injection.

Web Performance

Speed is an essential for a great web experience but it often gets overlooked.

We'll examine how speed affects the users' experience and cover some ways we can measure and analyse it.

Then we'll run though optimisation best practices, take a look at how browsers and networks affect load times, before diving into some of the challenges the mobile web and the dangers third-party javascript bring.

Implementing Continuous Delivery

Continuous Delivery is gaining lots of traction right now, blending aspects of the DevOps & Agile movements to help deliver our software more predictably & faster than ever before to our clients. But how do you actually do it? Where should you start? And what tools should you be using?

Based on real-world experience helping clients adopt CD, this talk will address all this - and perhaps more!

NOSQL FTW

In this session three NOSQL techniques will be demonstrated. RavenDB, Neo4j and MongoDB. Each speaker has 10 minutes to show you why and how NOSQL can be used. It is not difficult. It is not frightening. It’s fun.
After this session, you know more about which technique you should test and continue with.
And perhaps the three speakers invite us for an open discussion.

Developing polyglot applications on Cloud Foundry

Modern applications are developed using multiple technologies: HTML5, NodeJS, SQL and NoSQL databases. Development is challenging since there are so many moving parts. In this talk, you will learn why we need to build applications this way and how Cloud Foundry, which is an modern, open-source PaaS, can help.

11.10-12.00

Performance and Capacity in a Cloud

As the software world continues to shift to cloud based solutions, testing professionals are expected to provide answers to the new questions:
* How quickly will the system respond?
* How many machines (servers, load balancers, switches, etc.) do we need?
* What happens when a machine (or a rack, cluster, data-center) fails?
* What is the performance cost of a new feature?
This session will introduce these topics and give examples for services most people are familiar with.
