Turning up the HEAT with IBM MobileFirst for iOS AppsMichael Elder
The landmark partnership between Apple and IBM announced last year set the internet abuzz. The partnership aims to spark true mobile-led business change across the
enterprise. In this talk, we’ll show you how IBM is using OpenStack, Heat, and DevOps to
deploy a truly monumental undertaking.
To fulfill this goal, we needed to redefine how we deliver our software. Leveraging IBM’s unique expertise in OpenStack and DevOps, we turned the “art of the possible” into our new “reality”. In this talk, we’ll tell the story of how we used fullstack application patterns based on OpenStack Heat to provision environments with speed and reliability. You will hear directly from the joint development team how these patterns enabled us to collaborate unimpeded by the traditional road blocks of IT development. As it turns out, our goal to “spark true business change” has
extended beyond our customers to include IBM itself.
You will not only hear about the technical solution but see it in action with a demo in the session.
Manual application deployment processes tend to be error prone and inefficient and can make achieving consistent deployments seem impossible.
There is good news. You don’t need to choose between a careful, rigorous approach and a speedy but haphazard one. It’s possible to implement an automated deployment solution that provides consistency and audit trails while improving productivity for your release engineers, operations personnel, and testers. See how!

This document discusses adopting a DevOps approach for 2-Speed IT. It presents value stream mapping as a way to identify bottlenecks in development and delivery pipelines. Addressing these bottlenecks through practices like continuous integration, deployment automation, and shifting security left can help organizations deliver hybrid applications across hybrid platforms and teams more quickly and with higher quality. Case studies are presented of organizations that improved delivery times, increased innovation, and gained competitive advantages by adopting DevOps.
Everybody loves a good love story. And even more so one that mixes in pop stars and the music business! If you have an interest in hearing about how the benefits of DevOps can help unblock the delivery of IT innovation in your business then you’ll want to hear this story.
The world of IT is shifting rapidly towards DevOps with analysts predicting the majority of companies will adopt DevOps practices in the next few years. In fact, in a recent study on DevOps by International Data Corp. (IDC), they believe that DevOps will be adopted (in either practice or discipline) by 80% of Global 1000 organizations by 2019!
Forming a DevOps team seems like a natural step, but the idea of creating a dedicated DevOps team has ignited anger in the community. Why? What's the concern? Is a DevOps team evil? Completely necessary? A necessary Evil?
Join IBM UrbanCode's Eric Minick to learn the pitfalls of creating bad DevOps teams, and successful approaches of good ones. Along the way, we’ll explore other heresies such as using tools to change culture.
This document summarizes a presentation about adopting DevOps practices to improve software delivery. It discusses how delivering software is challenging and costly, and that DevOps can help by improving collaboration between development and operations teams. A case study is presented from HM Health Solutions, who saw a 75% reduction in time spent fixing defects in testing and an 82% reduction in production after adopting DevOps practices like continuous integration, automated testing, and deployment. Tips are provided on getting started with an enterprise DevOps rollout.
Continuous Delivery with Jenkins Enterprise and IBM UrbanCode DeployIBM UrbanCode Products
Jenkins, the world’s leading open source continuous integration server, and IBM UrbanCode Deploy can be used together to automate the end-to-end continuous delivery process.
See how Jenkins passes builds to IBM UrbanCode Deploy to automate the deployment of applications, middleware configurations and database changes into development, test and production environments—delivering higher quality software in a repeatable fashion.
Presented by: Eric Minick, IBM DevOps Evangelist (and UrbanCode guy), and Kohsuke Kawaguchi, CTO of CloudBees.
DevOps seeks to tear down barriers between development and operations that lead to slower change and worse quality. Implementing a DevOps Team that adds yet another silo to an organization can be counterproductive. Rebranding infrastructure or operations teams as "DevOps" doesn't help, either. However, scaling DevOps benefits from a dedicated team. This session looks to answer key questions when building a team to enable DevOps transformations. What are common DevOps team structures? Are there existing groups that can lead the transformation? Who should I include on the team? What should its charter be?
This deck is from a session delivered at IBM Interconnect 2015.
Using Lean Thinking to Identify and Address Delivery Pipeline BottlenecksIBM UrbanCode Products
Inefficient software delivery impacts the entire business, from line of business units, to operations, to development and test, and the variety of suppliers.
Wastes in your processes are causing bottlenecks.
Join Eric Minick, IBM DevOps Evangelist (and UrbanCode guy), as he explores how ‘Lean Thinking’ techniques can be leveraged to help identify ‘bottlenecks’ in your delivery pipeline that can be addressed by adopting DevOps.
Continuous Delivery is hot. As we all increasingly compete using software, the business always wants more change faster. However, change is seen as risky. How do we deliver quickly while not exposing the business to excessive risk? What does this imply for how we update our mission critical databases?
Successful continuous delivery efforts use quality as an enabler of rapid change. Rapid feedback on the quality of the application, and a disciplined, high quality process support frequent delivery of business value, rather than frequent outage.
IBM UrbanCode’s Eric Minick and DBmaestro’s Yaniv Yehuda present how to build safety in to your delivery process. We will look at database change in some detail while delivering generally applicable lessons.
"Shift Left" is a DevOps practice that provides an effective means to perform testing with or in parallel to development activities.
When shifting left, development, test and operations work together to plan, manage and execute automated and continuous testing to accelerate feedback to developers and improve the quality of changes early in the life-cycle. The rate of the accelerated feedback is determined by an organization’s desired outcomes for velocity of changes and capacity for feedback.

Adopting DevOps in a Hybrid Cloud Featuring UrbanCode Deploy with BluemixIBM UrbanCode Products
The document discusses adopting DevOps practices in a hybrid cloud environment using IBM's UrbanCode Deploy product. It describes how UrbanCode Deploy can create a single automated deployment pipeline across applications deployed to Bluemix and on-premise backends. This provides visibility, coordination of testing, and the ability to deploy updates to all tiers simultaneously or roll back changes across all tiers. The document also provides an example scenario of using UrbanCode Deploy to automate deployments to Bluemix for development and testing and then to production environments in external clouds or on-premise data centers.
The document discusses DevOps toolchains which integrate development and operations tools to improve software delivery. It provides examples of toolchains for activities like continuous integration, deployment, testing, and monitoring. The key benefits are cited as increased efficiency, consistency, safety, and visibility across the development and operations processes. The document recommends auditing current practices, agreeing on a vision, and gradually adopting tools to achieve DevOps.
This document discusses challenges with deploying certain types of application components and strategies for addressing them. It begins by noting that database schema updates, mainframe code changes, and application server configuration changes can be difficult to deploy due to issues like lack of source control and inconsistent processes. Automating the deployment of these components is important to avoid errors and ensure consistency. The document then provides examples of how tools can help with tasks like database change management, modeling application server configurations, and managing mainframe code deployments in an incremental fashion. Overall, it advocates for representing complex deployment components as code that can be versioned and deployed in a reliable, automated manner.

What Do Contribution Guidelines Say About Software Testing? (MSR 2025)Andre Hora
Software testing plays a crucial role in the contribution process of open-source projects. For example, contributions introducing new features are expected to include tests, and contributions with tests are more likely to be accepted. Although most real-world projects require contributors to write tests, the specific testing practices communicated to contributors remain unclear. In this paper, we present an empirical study to understand better how software testing is approached in contribution guidelines. We analyze the guidelines of 200 Python and JavaScript open-source software projects. We find that 78% of the projects include some form of test documentation for contributors. Test documentation is located in multiple sources, including CONTRIBUTING files (58%), external documentation (24%), and README files (8%). Furthermore, test documentation commonly explains how to run tests (83.5%), but less often provides guidance on how to write tests (37%). It frequently covers unit tests (71%), but rarely addresses integration (20.5%) and end-to-end tests (15.5%). Other key testing aspects are also less frequently discussed: test coverage (25.5%) and mocking (9.5%). We conclude by discussing implications and future research.

Who Watches the Watchmen (SciFiDevCon 2025)Allon Mureinik
Tests, especially unit tests, are the developers’ superheroes. They allow us to mess around with our code and keep us safe.
We often trust them with the safety of our codebase, but how do we know that we should? How do we know that this trust is well-deserved?
Enter mutation testing – by intentionally injecting harmful mutations into our code and seeing if they are caught by the tests, we can evaluate the quality of the safety net they provide. By watching the watchmen, we can make sure our tests really protect us, and we aren’t just green-washing our IDEs to a false sense of security.

How Valletta helped healthcare SaaS to transform QA and compliance to grow wi...Egor Kaleynik
This case study explores how we partnered with a mid-sized U.S. healthcare SaaS provider to help them scale from a successful pilot phase to supporting over 10,000 users—while meeting strict HIPAA compliance requirements.
Faced with slow, manual testing cycles, frequent regression bugs, and looming audit risks, their growth was at risk. Their existing QA processes couldn’t keep up with the complexity of real-time biometric data handling, and earlier automation attempts had failed due to unreliable tools and fragmented workflows.
We stepped in to deliver a full QA and DevOps transformation. Our team replaced their fragile legacy tests with Testim’s self-healing automation, integrated Postman and OWASP ZAP into Jenkins pipelines for continuous API and security validation, and leveraged AWS Device Farm for real-device, region-specific compliance testing. Custom deployment scripts gave them control over rollouts without relying on heavy CI/CD infrastructure.
The result? Test cycle times were reduced from 3 days to just 8 hours, regression bugs dropped by 40%, and they passed their first HIPAA audit without issue—unlocking faster contract signings and enabling them to expand confidently. More than just a technical upgrade, this project embedded compliance into every phase of development, proving that SaaS providers in regulated industries can scale fast and stay secure.
This presentation explores code comprehension challenges in scientific programming based on a survey of 57 research scientists. It reveals that 57.9% of scientists have no formal training in writing readable code. Key findings highlight a "documentation paradox" where documentation is both the most common readability practice and the biggest challenge scientists face. The study identifies critical issues with naming conventions and code organization, noting that 100% of scientists agree readable code is essential for reproducible research. The research concludes with four key recommendations: expanding programming education for scientists, conducting targeted research on scientific code quality, developing specialized tools, and establishing clearer documentation guidelines for scientific software.
