CI in Enterprise

What corporate tool to choose

▪ Atlassian Bamboo

+ Supports automatic branching and merging (This is the main reason my current company uses Bamboo, because we want to automatically branch our CI plans and make sure all our dev branches are covered by CI, in Jenkins, each branch and merge means we'd have to copy and reconfigure each plan)+ Integrates well with rest of Atlassian suite. So if you use Jira for bugs and story management, and confluence for documentation, it's easy to get bamboo to auto close stories/bugs as they're deployed, and update confluence documentation with each completed story.+ Has some cool bells and whistles like detecting if a plan is currently deadlocked. (by comparing it against a threshold of build times of previous builds, like if a build is taking 50% longer to build the the last successful build)- It's hard to find plugins for non-common tasks or setup. (For example, I couldn't find a TestSwarm plugin for Bamboo)- It's less popular than Jenkins. Hard to find other users to talk shop or ask for help.

What corporate tool to choose #2

▪ Jenkins

Popular open source, easy to find plugins for. (for example, there's a testswarm plugin for Jenkins, and I had to write my own set of build scripts to do the same in bamboo because a plugin didn't exist)+ Easy to find other users and get help on Jenkins.+ Free, and easy to setup- Does not do automatic branching/merging

DevOps are coming ©

Or we can say: Sysadmin codersThe Devops movement is built around a group of people who believe that the application of a combination of appropriate technology and attitude can revolutionize the world of software development and delivery.The demographic seems to be experienced, talented 30-something sysadmin coders with a clear understanding that writing software is about making money and shipping product. More importantly, these people understand the key point - we’re all on the same side! All of us - developers, testers, managers, DBAs, network technicians, and sysadmins - are all trying to achieve the same thing: the delivery of great quality, reliable software that delivers business benefit to those who commissioned it.

Let’s wake up!

Communications: Bad example

Communications: Bad example #2

▪ Only Google Drive▪ No Wiki at all▪ Meetings without webcam▪ Excel bug tracking▪ No backlog▪ Guesstimate planning▪ No stand ups

Communications: RIGHT

▪ Jira(TFS, Trello, Redmine)

▪ Skype, Hangouts, Lync

▪ Mega meeting, Join.me, Go2Meeting

▪ Confluence

Simple recipe for effective meetings.

▪ Own a meeting – Come prepared and feel responsible for the success of the meeting

▪ Publish Agenda, Define the goal, and expected outcome

▪ Consider time-boxing – time box the meeting to 30 minutes, shorter meetings are more effective.

▪ Physical participation - Make everyone physically participate - write on a white board, take notes, walk, move! 

▪ Close the meeting explicitly- recap the goal, outline results, next actions, assignments.
