Humble's keynote to explain how continuous delivery bridges development with testers and IT operations
SAN FRANCISCO, July 13 /PRNewswire/ --
WHO: |
Jez Humble |
|
Build and Release Principal |
||
ThoughtWorks Studios |
||
Humble has extensive IT experience as a developer, sysadmin, consultant and manager, working with multiple platforms and technologies. Since 2004, he has worked for ThoughtWorks Studios in Beijing, Bangalore, London and San Francisco. He is the co-author of the forthcoming book Continuous Delivery (Addison-Wesley, 2010), and serves as product manager for Cruise, ThoughtWorks' continuous integration platform. |
||
WHAT: |
Based on ThoughtWorks' years of experience running large-scale, distributed and cross-functional Agile projects, continuous delivery is a new agile methodology that focuses on automating the build, test and deployment process, and improving collaboration between development, testers and IT operations. The end goal is to enable rapid, reliable delivery of high quality, valuable new functionality to users, providing a fast return on IT investments in software. |
|
Getting software released to users in large-scale environments is often a painful, risky, and time-consuming process. By following the principles and practices that form the basis of continuous delivery, developers, testers, and systems administrators can deliver software rapidly while improving quality and maintaining the stability of the live environment. |
||
Humble, an expert in developing best practices around continuous software delivery, will explore such topics as automated testing, patterns for continuous deployment, value stream mapping, and the principles that enable rapid, reliable releases in large-scale Agile environments. In his keynote presentation, Humble will present a pattern called the "deployment pipeline." This enables every team member the luxury of receiving rapid feedback on the production readiness of the application every time a change is introduced. |
