Jenkins User Conference - Twitter4J, Jenkins and regression
This document summarizes a presentation given by Yusuke Yamamoto at the 2011 Jenkins User Conference in San Francisco. Yamamoto discussed how he developed the open-source Twitter4J library using test-driven development and encountered a regression when the library's tests were not properly maintained. He emphasized the importance of having enough test coverage, carefully refactoring tests, and addressing failed tests to prevent regressions.
This document summarizes different approaches to matching strings against patterns, including using the re module, creating a Perl port, and using the RE2 NIF module. The author tested each approach on a data set of 10,000 strings. The RE2 NIF approach had the best performance at 26 microseconds per match, while the initial re module approach was the slowest at 7 milliseconds per match. However, RE2 requires more memory for large pattern lists.
The document discusses different tools for deploying Rails applications, including Moonshine, Capistrano, and Git Pusshuten. Moonshine uses Puppet for configuration management and deployment. Capistrano is used for deployments but mixes deployment with server management. Git Pusshuten allows defining environments using modules and provisioning servers for basic deployment needs using Git. It has advantages of separating deployment from code and fast deploys but has fewer modules and less active development compared to other tools.
This document summarizes a presentation given at ICME 2015 at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The presentation was given by James Belak from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and discussed use-inspired research and development for integrated computational materials engineering. It addressed key computations needed for ICME like databases, expert systems, simulation methods, and continuum models. Integrating computations into materials engineering was a focus.

Beyond Horizontal Scalability: Concurrency and Messaging Using Spring
The document discusses how software systems are growing larger and more complex due to increasing hardware capabilities. It describes typical application architectures and assumptions that rely on sequential execution in a single JVM. It advocates for concurrency and messaging using tools from Spring to address these challenges by removing assumptions, simplifying interactions, and allowing asynchronous and distributed execution. Specifically, it covers how Spring supports concurrency using TaskExecutor and messaging using JMS templates and message listeners to enable looser coupling and horizontal scalability beyond simply adding more machines.
These are the slides from my talk about the AppScale project at the SBonRails meetup. It covers AppScale as well as Google App Engine and the research projects have come out of it, including Neptune, a Ruby DSL focused on computation-heavy workloads.

Coordinate Systems in FME 101 - Webinar SlidesSafe Software
If you’ve ever had to analyze a map or GPS data, chances are you’ve encountered and even worked with coordinate systems. As historical data continually updates through GPS, understanding coordinate systems is increasingly crucial. However, not everyone knows why they exist or how to effectively use them for data-driven insights.
During this webinar, you’ll learn exactly what coordinate systems are and how you can use FME to maintain and transform your data’s coordinate systems in an easy-to-digest way, accurately representing the geographical space that it exists within. During this webinar, you will have the chance to:
- Enhance Your Understanding: Gain a clear overview of what coordinate systems are and their value
- Learn Practical Applications: Why we need datams and projections, plus units between coordinate systems
- Maximize with FME: Understand how FME handles coordinate systems, including a brief summary of the 3 main reprojectors
- Custom Coordinate Systems: Learn how to work with FME and coordinate systems beyond what is natively supported
- Look Ahead: Gain insights into where FME is headed with coordinate systems in the future
Don’t miss the opportunity to improve the value you receive from your coordinate system data, ultimately allowing you to streamline your data analysis and maximize your time. See you there!

Is the system I‘m
building correct?
Freitag, 3. Juni 2011
44. Test
Do all the pieces of
the system work
together?
Freitag, 3. Juni 2011
45. Production
Are all parts of my
system working?
Freitag, 3. Juni 2011
46. Development
• Test Driven Development only
takes you so far
• Test a single component
• Unit tests in work, but don‘t
components
multiple
„cross the chasm“

• If youitdon‘t control it,
mock
• „Rails Enterprise ready ™ “
Freitag, 3. Juni 2011
53. Mock Services
• Allowsspecification against a
„real“
you to code
• Allows of said code against
failure
you to
service
• Gives you a stick to beat up
the developers of said service
(„Rails-Enterprise ready“ ™ )

61. Car industry
If car manufacturers would build
engines the way enterprise IT
systems are built, you‘d need to
remove the engine from the car
and disassemble it completely to
find a fault
