  • The demand for custom software among large enterprises has increased dramatically over the past few years, yet the age-old challenges in software projects still exist. AI provides a way to rethink how software is built, addressing the inefficiencies across the software development lifecycle that ultimately makes better-quality apps built much faster.

    There has been immense growth in AI-powered tools for software development, and many tech and business leaders are left confused with the choices available in the market. This talk will provide insights to help decision-makers sift through the noise and select the best possible solution given their situation. The talk will also propose a framework wherein AI and ""humans in the loop"" will be working hand-in-hand to for requirements engineering tighter and software builds faster.

    In the context of software dev shops, the talk will be useful in understanding how AI helps achieve better internal efficiency across the SDLC so that teams are able to increase capacity and realize business growth.

  • Automated tests are crucial for efficient software development, but flaky tests that inconsistently pass or fail without code changes can severely undermine their value. Such non-determinism sends confusing signals to the team, making it difficult to interpret test results. This erosion of trust in the test suite leads to disregarding signals, integrating features with real failures, and nullifying the purpose of testing. Instead of speeding up progress, flaky tests slow it down, obscure actual bugs, and increase costs. As a result, automation in testing becomes a double-edged sword if not properly maintained.

    In this talk will examine the causes and consequences of flaky tests, particularly within Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. We explore how flaky tests erode trust in test results, delay releases, consume resources, and mask genuine bugs.

    We delve into the common pitfalls of test automation that lead to increased maintenance overhead and decreased reliability. We also emphasize the importance of establishing testing guidelines, leveraging reporting tools, using artificial intelligence (AI), and documenting flaky tests to improve overall test suite health.

    I will also share practical and effective mitigation strategies, emphasizing the importance of code quality, design patterns, advanced tools, comprehensive logging, team collaboration, and regular reviews.

    Finally, we will discuss actionable steps for creating meaningful automated tests, focusing on principles derived from real-world situations from my experience. By adopting these strategies, engineers can build a more reliable and trustworthy test automation suite, leading to faster and more stable software releases.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. Evaluate how flaky tests can erode trust and slow down developments.
    2. Analyse the context and purpose of tests to avoid common pitfalls.
    3. Concrete strategies for identifying and mitigating flaky tests.
    4. Exploring the role of AI and reporting in creating reliable tests.

  • Java 8, a cornerstone since its 2014 release, has long been integral to the Java application development landscape. However, the arrival of Java 17 in 2021 marked significant evolution in the ecosystem: it introduced a bunch of groundbreaking features that Java has introduced in a phased manner over the years. Let's delve into some of the pivotal new features available in Java 17, such as Text Blocks, enhancements to the String class, Sealed classes, Record Types, and Pattern Matching which aim to improve productivity, performance, readability, and extensibility of large-scale Java workloads.

    The session will also sneak-peak into potential challenges associated with migration to v17, such as modularity, deprecated or removed features, GC policies and much more.

    The session aims to help developers and organizations navigate the transition from Java v8 to v17, ensuring they can leverage the new capabilities effectively while managing the transition smoothly."
