Review about The mockery, The inspector, Generous leftovers and The local hero.

Este workshop es un recorrido por conceptos como vertical y horizontal slicing para aclarar y aportar visibilidad a aspectos fundamentales para hacer un buen uso.

In this fast paced ever changing word, nothing is stable. While there was previously a huge demand for Software Testing specialists, that demand is vastly decreasing. In this session we will discuss the reason for the drop in demand and explore the shift in industry focus towards test automation and DevOps, including the superiority of these approaches over testing. Also, we will cover how this phenomena is often misunderstood and how the real reason for the drop in demand is change in the organisation and business environments.

In this workshop, we’ll go over the key and most important concepts and processes of Agile product development, and how you can apply it to your own organisation.

This talk aims to cover different assertions, to avoid using always toEqual and make the test case more expressive. For each example, I try to first depict how it would be with toEqual, then I show another way using a different assertion.

The Transformation Priority Premise (o TPP) es un esfuerzo de formalización para guiar a los desarrolladores impulsados por pruebas a elegir la mejor prueba siguiente y la mejor implementación posible en ese momento en particular.

Después de este ejercicio, tendrás las herramientas básicas para saber cómo abordar las implementaciones y cómo puedes paralelizar diferentes desarrollos mediante el uso de Feature flags.

Bob Gregory, Chief Architect at Cazoo sat down with Steve Lyford, Regional Director of Codurance and Matt Blecher, Principal Craftsperson of Codurance to discuss how Cazoo became the UK’s fastest ever unicorn.

In this session the focus will be on the theory part of TDD and the anti-patterns to avoid. This talk assumes that the audience already has some knowledge on TDD and wants to improve their craft. The format will use code snippets to explore each anti-pattern.

Pair Programming es una de las principales prácticas de eXtreme Programming. ¿Cuál es su propósito? ¿Qué beneficios obtenemos si aplicamos esta práctica?

If you are entering the world of tech for the first time, a career changer, or simply looking for some ideas on how to take your current role forward, this talk is for you!

In this meeting we talked about different alternatives and implications we have when designing our applications. We refered to the previous two sessions, looking on how to integrate these practices in a general architecture plan while always keeping our feet to the ground.

Javier Martínez, Software Craftsperson at Codurance, will give some examples of the most useful patterns in our daily work and present strategies and implementations on these. The goal is to discover the situations where some patterns will make our life easier by simplifying processes. To reach that goal we will introduce some of the most useful patterns that we need to generate high quality code with specific focus on the features that python provides.

La deuda técnica suele provocar que se pierda la agilidad en la capacidad de la organización para adaptar el producto y puede dejarlo expuesto a la explotación de vulnerabilidades y posibles ataques por parte de agentes maliciosos. Pero, ¿y si no fuera necesario tener que elegir entre calidad/seguridad y rapidez?

We’ll walk through the 5 stages of the customer journey and common challenges to look out for. At each stage we’ll consider how products and technology can be aligned to drive the value required to run a modern e-commerce business.

In this session we are going to have a practical hands-on session while discovering the relevance of testing at any stage of software development.

Paul Harland, Solutions Engineer at our partner Snyk discusses "Managing Vulnerabilities with Snyk 101". In this talk delivered at Codurance’s Community of Practice session, Paul will tell us about why it is important to be aware of the volume of open source code that we all run in production, how to understand when vulnerabilities exist and how to use a tool like Snyk to manage this problem

How you can utilise scientific research design methods, to help test your own hypotheses and guide your path to progress.

Maciej will wrap up on the personality types and how they fit into your professional context and team building.

Development of modern IT systems requires an ability to communicate ideas, share technical knowledge and coordinate efforts between and within cross-functional teams.

In this latest episode of Codurance’s Tech Community of Practice series, Robin Lester, Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft looks at industry trends in cloud computing and how Microsoft is adapting its tooling to accommodate new patterns for evolving data workloads.

In today’s session, we are delighted to have Trisha Gee, Java Advocacy Team Lead from JetBrains, talking about such an essential and important thing as Code Review. The aim of this webinar is to know how to identify the best practices and envision the path to maximise the value and minimise the pain of the code review, as Trisha said. She has already writen a book on the things to look for when code reviewing (http://jb.gg/book/codereview) but in addition, she gives us an in-depth overview of the different types of code reviews depending on the situation and the reason for it. In order to know what to look for when code reviewing, it is necessary to give and answer to questions such as why, when, who and where first.

Learn how to develop and measure your teams skills more effectively with this series of workshops on Technical coaching taught by José E. Rodríguez Huerta, Managing Director at Codurance Spain. José shared his experience leading and upskilling teams during two different interactive events at Codurance. Both events are now available in our Youtube Channel.

Many organisations rely on strategic systems that are becoming harder and harder to maintain. The company is unhappy because features are taking longer to be built and they cannot react fast enough to market demands. Developers are unhappy because the code is messy and negatively affects their productivity. Testers are unhappy because of the volume of work they have and because they still cannot guarantee the quality of the software. Clients are becoming disenchanted because of the lack of quality and low frequency of updates. Strategic software cannot become a burden to the organisation – they need to remain strategic and continuously enable business agility. In this talk, Sandro will cover the key aspects of software modernisation initiatives, why they are needed, and how to get started.

In this session, Mashooq Badar (Mash for short), Software Craftsman, and Co-Founder at Codurance will delight us with a beautiful Clojure introductory presentation that will make us lose the fear of parentheses and REPL. Clojure is functional, is dynamic, is general-purpose, and it’s ready to rock. It’s a dialect of Lisp (hence its functional roots) and shares with Lisp the “code as data” philosophy and a powerful macro system. You don’t need a Clojure environment running for this session.
