Software-Architecture Revolution is the process of making profound, large-scale changes to the fundamental structures of software systems to improve its attributes, such as availability, scalability, and maintainability, or to enable new requirements that are incompatible with the current capabilities. Architectural revolution demands substantial effort from the organization and needs effective leadership to be successful. This talk draws from practical experiences (patterns) to improve the…

Test coverage: 100% - Check!
And why do we still have bugs?
OK, tests don't prove the absence of errors.
And at the end of the day, they are just code which could contain bugs as well.
And perhaps they give us a false sense of security.
But how do I know, that my test are good?
One way to find out is using Mutation Testing.
In this talk I want to explain, what Mutation Testing is, how to do it and when it is helpful.

Target Audience: Developers, Achitects, Testers
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge…

How often have you heard that ‘Yes this is important, but we don’t have the capacity right now’ or ‘sure let’s put it in the backlog’?

User-centred design is one of the default modes of teams working with software, but the consequences are often unsustainable in a densely networked world as we privilege users over all other stakeholders and systems. How might teams approach building products, services and organisations from a more sustainable standpoint than 'user-centricity'? This talk looks at how the techniques of game design, community development, platform operations and security practices can support a practice focused on…

This is not about what an "Agile Architecture" could be. It is about the view from the opposite direction:
How can architecture work look like in order to act as an enabler to work in the spirit of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development?
There are answers to questions like.
•    Why is architecture documentation so rarely read?
•    How much technology focus is helpful and why?
•    What knowledge needs to be built by yourself in the first place?
•    What does programming have to do with…

Stoic practitioners know they cannot control circumstances, other people or rather... they know they cannot control anything outside of the realm of their own choices. So as a Stoic Product Leader you should stop focussing on outcome (!). Outcome is always outside of your control. However the CHOICES you need to make the product vision and goals ARE within your power, within your control. So the best thing you can do as a (product) leader is improving the quality of your decisions and teach your…

Many developers evoke technical debt to explain the misfortunes and troubles of their codebase and delivery. While unmanaged technical debt weighs down an architecture and exerts drag on its schedule, it is more often an effect than a cause. In this talk, we will look at what is and is not meant by technical debt with a view to properly attributing the root and recurring cause as technical neglect than technical debt. Without seeing technical neglect for what it is, we will continue to…

A main theme in modern architectures is around fine-grained, isolated, reactive components, that are managed by autonomous teams (think microservices). This is considered key to decoupling, which, in turn, leads to business agility. Unfortunately, this often goes wrong and people end up with more tightly coupled systems, that are hard to understand and change - the opposite of agility. In this talk, I will explore why this happens and provide my view on how process orchestration can improve the…

Architecture work has to balance providing clear guidance for important decisions with empowering people to build their aspects of the system without interference. In this session we'll explore how security principles can help achieve this for application security. The talk explains how principles can guide design decisions without being too prescriptive and explains a set of ten proven principles for designing secure systems, distilled from security engineering practice but presented in…

"Σπεύδε βραδέως" in ancient Greek, or "festina lente" in Latin translates as "hurry slowly" an oxymoron saying to indicate the need for balancing deliberation and urgency.
In this talk we comment on the prevailing perceptions relating to speed of software development and how in a DevOps context what sometimes is perceived as fast from an individual's perspective has a deleterious effect on team performance while practices traditionally viewed by developers as cumbersome have in fact a positive…

After years of contributions, there is still a disconnection at the boundary between the leadership development world and agility. On one side, there are proposals on the role of the leader. On the other side, “frameworks for scaling”.
Especially at scale, agile leadership is the art of integrating modern collaborative leadership concepts and sound emergent strategies for organisational development.
In this interactive session, we will discuss the overarching structure of agile leadership and…

One of the fundamental challenges for machine learning (ML) teams is data quality, or more accurately the lack of data quality. Your ML solution is only as good as the data that you train it on, and therein lies the rub: Is your data of sufficient quality to train a trustworthy system? If not, can you improve your data so that it is? You need a collection of data quality “best practices”, but what is “best” depends on the context of the problem that you face. Which of the myriad of strategies…

This talk will help you answer these questions for your project. You will better understand not only the architectural implications but also the effect on the…

Are you lost when folks talk about "quality" in the context of software? Just when you thought "high quality" means "good" and "QA" means "assure it's good", somebody hits you over the head with ISO 25010, where "quality" is just a neutral property of a software system. It's all a big happy pile of terminology quicksand where you sink faster the more you struggle for unambiguous and clear definitions. But we're here to help you out. We'll be looking at what's relevant about quality from a…

I’m an architect, and I think a lot about architecture. Mostly I think about how irrelevant architecture is if it doesn’t get shipped to production. I worry a lot too. I worry about how to help all the teams I’m supposed to be helping, without slowing them down, getting in their way, or making their lives harder rather than easier.

Traditional (i.e. hands-off, blessed-few) approaches to architecture rarely (if ever) work. But in the world of microservices, autonomous teams, and continuous…

Principles like refuse (to build something new), reuse and recycle in our whole…

At Tchibo we wanted to reduce our server and energy consumption with our product development teams. But why would we care? We all like fast snappy development and test systems. And our shop needs to survive Black Friday’s shopping traffic. Annual Google Cloud consumption forecasts do not trigger us to consume less. But when we started to show teams their related carbon dioxide footprint, we created a feedback loop that will help us to become better CO₂-developers.
As developers, we have an…

In 2011, realizing it desperately needed to offer a competitive product to Airbus’ A320neo, Boeing embarked on a project to upgrade its legendary 737 aircraft to match the A320neo’s efficiency. Limited by the constraints of the 737’s original design and their desire to minimize training needed by pilots to fly the new aircraft, Boeing made multiple critical compromises in the aircraft’s design. 346 deaths and $87 billion later, we have all been reminded of the importance of rigorous design…

High traffic during business hours, no traffic at night, weekends and vacations, multiple teams, and several staging environments - these characteristics of a typical enterprise application. Pay-as-you-go, "scale-to-zero" and managed services make serverless architectures appealing for enterprise applications.
On-premise, on the other hand, you get the maximum flexibility and full access to machines with less automation and so more plumbing.
I will compare both approaches with focus on…
