Continuous Delivery!!!

Applying to software delivery

Can you think of examples?

Are you one of the thirsty workers that could go to the pub but is still waiting for everyone?


Do you have working pieces of code, ready for deploy, that are waiting for colleagues?

Are you one of the thirsty workers that could go to the pub but is still waiting for everyone?


Is the group of thirsty workers so big that whenever the chosen pub is closed, finding another pub in the busiest time is a difficult

task?


Are the changes you deploy so big, that when something unexpected happens, you have to

re-sync and deploy everything again?Is the group of thirsty workers so big that

whenever the chosen pub is closed, finding another pub in the busiest time is a difficult

task?


Do the pubs close or are packed before thirsty workers finally organize themselves

and get out of the office?


Do you loose your opportunity window getting all teams in sync for a release?

Do the pubs close or are packed before thirsty workers finally organize themselves

and get out of the office?

Suggestions

Find a pub that’s not far from the office.

Have an agreement that every evening, if someone is thirsty, they just head to the pub,

rather than organizing an outing.

Software Craftsmanship

Not only working software but also well-crafted software

Not only responding to change but also steadily adding value

Not only individuals and interactions but a community of professionals

Not only customer collaboration but also productive partnerships

Well-crafted software.

Steadily adding value == Continuous Delivery

Give Back to the world ==

Community of Professionals

Productive Partnership (aka the extra mile)

Core practices

BDDBehaviour Driven Development

“I want to save 40% on operational costs”

It has to be a description of a requirement and its business benefit, and a set of criteria by which we all agree that it is “done”

Story: Account Holder withdraws cash


As an Account Holder I want to withdraw cash from an ATM So that I can get money when the bank is closed


As an Account Holder I want to withdraw cash from an ATM So that I can get money when the bank is closed

Scenario 1: Account has sufficient funds Given the account balance is $100 And the card is valid And the machine contains enough money When the Account Holder requests $20 Then the ATM should dispense $20 And the account balance should be $80 And the card should be returned

TDDTest Driven Development

TDD practices

Define the API you want to use

Write code based on facts

Write just enough code to make test pass

Read the tests to learn about someone’s else code

TDD practices

Assert First

One Assertion per test

Faking/Stubbing/Mocking

Triangulation
