Digg Technical Talks – Kohsuke Kawaguchi
Published June 29th, 2010 Under Agile, Configuration Management, Open Source Tools, Software Testing | Leave a Comment
The creator of Hudson, Kohsuke Kawaguchi, speaks to Digg engineering team about the current state of Hudson and what we can look forward to down the road. His comments about Selenium and Hudson are of particular interest to the QA team. There are all kinds of integration possibilities – from custom reports that include embedded Sauce Labs video results to automatically establishing connections between our environments, there are lots of ways to make tests run more often and more quickly through Hudson.

Continuous Integration
Published June 22nd, 2010 Under Agile, Configuration Management, Open Source Tools, Software Testing | Leave a Comment
At the last Agile Firestarter conference, Erik Stepp presents an introduction to Continuous Integration. Which would you prefer each morning when you get into the office; having to fix compilation error, failed unit tests, etc., or get right down to coding and provide value to the business? Having a Continuous Integration (CI) process setup in your development environment can mean huge gain in productivity. In this session, we explore the benefits of CI and why every development team should have one.

Talk Release Management With Artifactory
Published June 10th, 2010 Under Agile, Configuration Management, Open Source Tools, Software Testing | Leave a Comment
In this presentation the Artifactory team demonstrates the benefits of managing your software development life-cycle through continuous integration. Frederic Simon and Yoav Landman show how to automate large-scale multi-module projects using a fully-integrated platform with Artifactory and Hudson. Using Maven, Gradle, or Ivy builds, it is now possible to dynamically automate and manage the pyramidal stacks of Unit, Functional, and Integration Tests. This demo-based session will show you how Artifactory and Hudson work together to make it much easier to promote certified builds to milestone releases, and finally to general availability, while making sure all builds are fully reproducible.

How Mozilla uses Selenium
Published June 8th, 2010 Under Agile, Configuration Management, Open Source Tools, Software Testing | Leave a Comment
Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently. Each integration is verified by an automated build to find problems as quickly as possible. Many teams discover that this approach leads to significantly reduced integration problems and allows a team to develop cohesive software more rapidly. In our talk, we’ll show how our team uses open-source tools, particularly Selenium Grid and Hudson, to test the web applications we make. Raymond Etornam will cover how we moved from testing them using basic Selenium IDE in Selenese/PHP to a more structured system, where our tests are run using Hudson and Selenium Grid, in Python. Stephen Donner will co-lead, providing more of the historical background.
Continuous Integration and the “Cup of Coffee” Test
Published May 10th, 2010 Under Agile, Configuration Management, Software Testing | Leave a Comment
The “cup of coffee” metric examines if a developer can get up and get a cup of coffee once they commit code. After they’ve returned from their coffee break, the developer should have some feedback about whether their code was useful and if they need to start regression testing.
