Secure Delivery: Better Workflows for Secure Systems and Pain-Free Delivery
The software delivery process has been transformed in the last decade; we’ve adopted well-understood workflows around functions such as testing, release management and operational support. In this article we'll explore the impact that security workflows have on software delivery, explain the root causes and share battle-proven techniques to show how we can make delivering secure software easier.

How to Use Your Existing Software Development Process Data to Find More Bugs in Less Time
This article presents better solutions that employ data from the system under test and the tests themselves to optimize testing efforts. This allows teams to find more bugs (by making sure that bug-dense areas are tested) in less time (by reducing the executions of tests that are very unlikely to detect bugs).

Finding Adequate Metrics for Outer, Inner, and Process Quality in Software Development
Implementing a feature can be measured. Quality is harder to measure. This article explores how to balance improving quality and adding new features. It dives into different domains of quality: Outer quality which is owned by the product people (e.g. product owners, testers), inner quality owned by the developers, and process quality owned by managers.

Craftleadership: Craft Your Leadership as Developers Craft Code
Learning software craftership made me reconsider how I wrote code. Being an experienced software team manager, I try to reevaluate my management practices in the same way: what could test-driven management or pair-management be? Here I propose different insights on how software craftership tools and mindset are transposable to the management domain.

Bringing a Product Mindset into DevOps
To be successful, organisations need two things: products and services their customers find valuable, and the ability to deliver these products and services well. This article shows why we must design, implement and operate our delivery pipelines (the means of turning ideas into products in the hands of users) as we would any other product or service: by adding a “product mindset".

Individualized Testing Processes - One Size Does Not Fit All
Many organizations in the software industry have fallen into a state where they have set processes that are used across the organization and teams. Every team is not the same, so why are their processes all the same? In this article we’re going to explore what it can mean for teams to have individualized processes that are formed by the context of the work they are doing and of the team itself.

Green IoT for Energy Efficiency and Environmental Sustainability
The growth of IoT has resulted in improving connectivity amongst devices worldwide. Green IoT represents the energy efficient procedures adopted by IoT devices to achieve a sustainable and safer world. In order to green the IoT, it will be necessary to use less energy, look for new resources, reduce the negative effects of the IoT on human health, and cause less environmental disruption.

Getting Rid of Wastes and Impediments in Software Development Using Data Science
This article presents how to use data science to detect wastes and impediments, and concepts and related information that help teams to figure out the root cause of impediments they struggle to get rid of. The knowledge discovered during research includes an expanded waste classification, and the use of trends to uncover undesired situations like hidden delayed backlog items and defects trends.

You’re Doing it Wrong: it’s Not about Data and Applications – It’s about Processes
Classic developer thinking tends to approach application design from a data-centric point of view. When the domain is process management, that often leads to excess complexity and work; it also (wrongly) over-reduces proactive processes to quick bursts of automation triggered by data changes. There’s a better way to do this: start with the process.

Solutions for Testing Blockchain: Private Blockchains, Permutations, and Shifting Left
Blockchain is an emerging software architecture that has the potential to be a big disruptor in the industry. With change however, comes the added risk of quality issues. As developers and test engineers, we need to be prepared for those changes to better adapt to the new technology and allow for the continued development of software and products through it, without compromising on quality.

Takeoff: What Software Development Can Learn from Aviation
A lot of professions have been around way longer than software development and have developed "best practices" to handle typical problems and challenges. Software developers can benefit from taking a closer look at aircraft maintenance or a pilot’s processes to learn from them, optimize our processes. and last but not least, try to reduce some of the stress that we experience over and over again.
