We all are professionals, e.g. software engineers, quality engineers, technical/team leaders, project/product managers, etc. But we all are humans too. Often due to different reasons, like tight deadlines, push from customers/clients, etc., we all tend to neglect common sense and omit important practices. In this talk based on my both positive and negative experience we will review some patterns how we make common mistakes and what terrible results they may lead us to.

How do squeeze UX/UI design into agile practises? How do you insure you have right deliverables at right moment?
There is more than one way to do it effectively. There is more than one way to fail. Over a course of years I’ve been working as UX designer with development team practicing agile methodologies and I’d like to share some insights and practises I use.

We write a lot of object oriented code at XING. Despite the ease of development with modern tools, we weren’t quite happy with the code produced as our codebase grew and matured until we introduced DCI (Data-Context-Interaction paradigm – Trygve Reenskaug’s invention, the author of famous MVC pattern).
DCI has become a hype word in recent years, yet one can hardly find evidence of real-life applications out there in the Internet. In this talk I’ll demonstrate how XING applies DCI to connect the important Agile practices and techniques such as DDD and TDD into a seamless development process, giving a revive of spirit to a long-lived OOP paradigm.

Do you remember you saw in the code method with name “getCatalogVerion()” or variable name “reimbusmentEntrys” or comment “necesarry”? If you’re an Eclipse user I’d say you’re lucky, IntelliJ guys are not. Why? Because they see those silly mistakes after Eclipse guys checked code in. If you’re an IntelliJent person and do not want to make a “holly war” come to my talk – I’m going to share a good practices to keep your code “clean” from grammar perspective as well.

Primary skills are in Java, hands on coding with Ruby/Groovy, exploring FP with Erlang/Elixir, system programming with Rust. Participated in different projects as a developer and architect. Fun of XP practices, crazy about automation, still trying to see continuous delivery in a real life. Advocating Clean Code and DevOps habits and practices, speaking at engineering conferences like JEEConf, XPDays, AgileEE, JavaDay, InfoShare, EPAM SEC. Away from work I’m a family guy, raising a son; time to time doing BBQ parties, gardening and traveling.

Nowadays computers are tremendously fast and powerful. All their cores, RAM and gigahertz’ are to our service. And seems like we have come to the point when we cannot make them 100% loaded.
Even we, software engineers, do a lot manual stuff. Manual testing, debugging, packaging, deployment – all that can and should be automated. In this talk Serhiy will sell you automation idea explaining what benefits you (developer, QA, manager) will get from it every single day.

We build software that runs on 21+ platform with millions of users and billions of deployments. Our software engineers have to keep the high pace of quality. More than 500k tests are executed daily. In this talk I would like to share my experience of dealing with unstable and long running tests, collecting, aggregating and analysis test execution data.

Test engineering is hard, even harder than software development. Being test engineer puts you in a wider context, with no clear boundaries. You have to find those by yourself. This requires courage. Courage to take action, courage to make mistakes. As a test engineer, you do mistakes every day. You do them so often that sometimes you feel you can predict the future. Scientific explanation to this phenomena is patterns recognition. It is an ability of our brain to match the information from a stimulus with information retrieved from memory. Defect prevention is hard. Together with technical skills one have to develop high social awareness. Working on safety nets never was so important, different types of checks on different levels to make sure software is reliable and serves its purpose to the variety of everyday use-cases. We know that life is so complex and sometimes complicated which makes it impossible to predict all possible outcomes and scenarios. But striving for excellence never was so important as nowadays in such an open, transparent and competitive environment.
Goal of my talk will be to show you my everyday job as a test engineer. Not only how to look for defects, but how to prevent them from happening. Not only how to automate tests(noun), but how to build safety nets to minimize end-user impact. Not only how to inform testing status but how to influence quality on company level.

Pair programming is the key to XP. It is the bedrock practice which marks XP as being team-focused rather than individual-focused. There is evidence that it is a very effective practice. So why is it not more common? This presentation examines pair programming in detail.

The general idea of this talk is that you define your application data, structure and everything to do with the data/API side of your application before you write a single line of code. It’s a constructive methodology that lets you think about what you are going to build before actually building it. This talk will cover test driven development of your API and database structure with the examples in JavaScript, Node.js and C#. The methodology is language agnostic though.
