Making Test Automation Work in Agile Projects
How do we succeed with test automation in a fast-paced agile environment? Through hands-on exercises and group discussions, participants will learn to overcome common barriers to successful test automation. A whole-team approach to test automation even helps if you’re a tester on a more traditional project without the support of programmers on your team.

Mastering Continuous Integration with Jenkins
Students will come away from this workshop with a solid understanding of how to implement a Continuous Integration environment in their organization. They will be able to set up a working instance of Jenkins server, complete with automated builds, tests, code quality audits and reports, and automatic deployment to an integration server. They will also be able to integrate Jenkins with other tools in the development environment, such as issue tracking systems and source code browsers.

13.30-16.30
Rediscovering Modularity with Restructure101
The principles of modularity are applied routinely in the development of classes, but not to the organization of the classes themselves. This is unscalable; inevitably it will extract a big tax on development dollars as the team starts to drown in an ever-expanding sea of classes. This tutorial gives concrete strategies for constructing a hierarchical, levelized, modular structure for an existing code-base, with minimal impact on working code. Many pattern-action-result examples are given.

Vim - precision editing at the speed of thought
Vim is optimzed for mouseless operation. Using the mouse slows us down, ergo Vim lets us work faster.
No other text editor comes close to Vim for speed, efficiency, and availability. It's a serious tool for programmers and web developers: perfect for working with markup and scripting languages. Master Vim, and you will never need another text editor.

Secrets of the Chrome Developer Tools
The Developer Tools built into Google Chrome provide powerful ways to understand, debug, and profile web applications. Most developers are familiar with its basic inspection and debugging tools, but some of its most valuable features, like the timeline and memory analysis tools, are lesser known. This talk will provide an overview of the Chrome dev tools and an in-depth demonstration of some of the lesser-known features.

14.10-15.00
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.

15.40-16.30
Advanced Continuous Integration Techniques with Jenkins
In this talk, we'll look at several continuous integration techniques you can use to get more value out of your Jenkins installation. The topic will cover the "validated merge" feature to make your builds unbreakable, the "fingerprinting" feature to build audit trail of your artifacts, and the "pipeline" feature to better visualize how your changes are verified by Jenkins, and so on.

16.45-17.35
Git on Android: Spreading Rebellion
A distributed version control system lets projects spread like fire in dry grass- and if the aim is to make the flame spread, it should be able to reach even the device resting in your pocket. Developing a Git client for Android threw up a bunch of interesting challenges; from low-level bug-hunting in the source of Android to unusual UI tricks. This talk describes those challenges, the curious bugs found, and the resulting Grand Tour of open-source projects; patching Android and even Git itself.

11.10-12.00
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!

14.10-15.00
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.
14.10-15.00
Touch it – don’t touch it
This lightning talk session will present you with cool and new technology. Flatfrog where already present at Øredev with a prototype 2011 and now they have the best multi touch screen ready for the market.
Tobii technology steer their screens by their eyes.
Perhaps some multinational company participates in this session and shows their latest technology too.
And perhaps we can get the first real look and feel of the Surface!
Not much more to say – if you like new technology you cannot afford to miss this one.

Testing that made me proud
“I am proud because of” is the opening line of three testing professionals sharing this lightning talk session with test as its main theme.
Martin Karlsson from Lundalogik will share how his company uses dogfooding for ensuring quality. Their administrative staff uses test versions of their own products in their daily work.
Mattias Gustavsson from Securitas Direct will talk about note taking as a key part to be successful with Session Based Test Management. What kind of note takers they have and how they created a simple tool that gave freedom to their team so they could be creative but still keep a high quality in their notes.
Linda Hoff from RIM will present Test reports that actually bring value. Three examples of test reports that differ from traditional reports but still contains parts that she is specifically proud of.
16.45-17.35

The Whole-Team Approach, Illustrated: Choosing a New GUI Test Tool
When a cross-functional team commits to delivering a software product with the highest possible quality, that commitment needs to be meaningful. Lisa Crispin's team recently discovered ways to enhance the usability of their web app, and significantly reduce user mistakes, but their GUI test tool doesn't accommodate the new technology. Come hear how Lisa's team has pulled together - though it was difficult - and conducted several experiments to look for a good solution.

11.10-12.00
Retrofitting a software architecture to an existing code-base
We can do without architecture early on, but at some point a clearly communicated architecture offers big productivity benefits to developers who otherwise drown in the expanding implementation-level detail. When you realize you are heading for a Big Ball of Mud, you have 3 choices – start over, suffer on, or knock your codebase into shape. This talk outlines principles, options and examples using Structure101 to get the best return for the cost and intellectual effort invested in a codebase.

Elixir - A modern approach to programming for the Erlang VM
Elixir is a programming language for the Erlang VM. Elixir provides a first class macro mechanism, supports polymorphism via protocols (similar to Clojure's) and many other features while keeping the functional aspects of Erlang used to build distributed, fault-tolerant applications.
In this talk, José Valim will cover the main goals and features in Elixir while also presenting some of the rationale and changes behind the language design and its latest tools.

Building a grammar for statistical graphics in Clojure
Our data is typically optimized for use by computers; what would it be like if we optimized for humans? This talk introduces a grammar of graphics for concisely expressing rich data visualizations. The grammar, implemented in Clojure, consists of simple data structures and can be used across the JVM and via JSON. This talk will cover principles of effective data visualization and the benefits of using data structures as an "API". There will be lots of pictures and a touch of code.
