Why does lead time decline?!

Small DPE improvements make a × × × × × huge difference Generate code faster: Better IDE Test better: Testcontainers Enforce better code: Sonar Test more reliably: Flaky test detection Foster Faster Feedback:
Slide 26
feedback efficiency × × × × IDE: Sub-seconds (I type, it marks it red) Build: Seconds CI: Minutes Production: Hours/Days
Slide 27
Reverse dependency on distance from developers IDE Build CI Production Feedback Time Faster Slower Distance from Developers Expected Real
Slide 28
Slide 29
It is slow!
Slide 30
Slide 31
It is slow and the developers h ave no idea why!
Slide 32
What is build? × × × × × Project setup Downloading the Internet Artifact generation: Compilation, packaging, etc Tests Artifact deployment
Slide 33
What can go wrong? × × × × × Project setup Downloading the Internet Artifact generation: Compilation, packaging, etc Tests Artifact deployment
Slide 34
When can it go wrong? At any time.
Slide 35
The Build frustrates the developers
Slide 36
Let’s ask Chatgpt
Slide 37
What the actual f*ck?! × Skipping tests defeats the purpose of the build! × How about skipping compilation? × We want faster feedback, not less feedback
Slide 38
What feedback do we want?
Slide 39
Ci/cd pipeline quality gates It compiles Basic Integration tests Basic Unit tests Basic Quality Linting Quality Code coverage Dependency scanning SAST/DAST Quality Sec Static code analysis Sec Sec Secrets scanning Resource Utilization Nonfunc Nonfunc Load Testing Nonfunc Compliance
Slide 40
Slide 41
Two types of feedback x e.g., CI/CD x we never wait for it x results are distracting x e.g., build x we’ll wait for it in the flow x we’ll be pissed off when it’s slow
Slide 42
Reverse dependency on distance from developers Faster IDE Build CI Feedback Time Commit time synchronous asynchronous Slower Distance from Developers Production
Slide 43
Ideal build time feedback It compiles Basic Integration tests Basic Unit tests Basic Quality Linting Quality Code coverage Dependency scanning SAST/DAST Quality Sec Static code analysis Sec Sec Secrets scanning Resource Utilization Nonfunc Nonfunc Load Testing Nonfunc Compliance
Slide 44
Slide 45
Delightful build (pick two): ☑ provides max feedback ☑ fast
Slide 46
Skip what can be skipped (but no more!)
Slide 47
Avoidance: Incremental build × Don’t build what didn’t changed × Don’t build what isn’t affected
Slide 48
Avoidance: Incremental build s hortcomings × Relies on produced artifacts × Relies on architectural decisions
Slide 49
Avoidance: Caching × × × × Makes the build faster Makes the build faster for everybody Makes the build faster always Makes all parts of the build faster
Slide 50
Slide 51
Avoidance: Predictive test selec tion × Learns code changes effects de-facto × Skips tests with high degree of confidence
Slide 52
How test prediction works × Code changes and test results are thrown into learning model × After a while, the model predicts which changes fail which tests
Slide 53
Test prediction What changed Where it changed Correlate with observed test failures Predictions which changes will fail which tests
Slide 54
Black magic in action × The more tests a project has, the less they break × Refactorings in Java break tests less than in JavaScript
Slide 55
Slide 56
Speed up what can’t be skipped
Slide 57
Test parallelization × Use max power of local machine × (Yes, your boss should buy you the bleeding edge)
Slide 58
Slide 59
Test distribution × × × × CI uses fan-out to speed-up tests Shouldn’t you enjoy it for local tests? Use the cloud to distribute test load RUN ALL THE TESTS!
Slide 60
Why not just using ci fan-out? × Relying on shared CI infrastructure × CI infrastructure is not optimized for real-time feedback! × Are the agents as fast as they can be?
Slide 61
Don’t let it slide
Slide 62
Observe and improve × Measure local build times across time and environments × Detect downfacing trends × Find root causes and improve
Slide 63
Slide 64
The gains are real!
Slide 65
Slide 66
Slide 67
Developer productivity is the n ext frontier × We figured out (most of) DevOps × If you want to excel in your production environment, you know how × But what about your path to production? × There is work to be done there. × DPE is the way to go!
