Testing Strategies in a Microservice Architecture – Toby Clemson

berkkibarer

Thanks to Toby Clemson and Martin Fowler for a great presentation on how testing approaches and techniques should be applied on microservices architecture. Testing Strategies in a Microservice Architecture There has been a shift in service based architectures over the last few years towards smaller, more focussed “micro” services. There are many benefits with this approach such as the ability to independently deploy, scale and maintain each component and parallelize development across multiple teams. However, once these additional network partitions have been introduced, the testing strategies that applied for monolithic…

Agile IT Organization Design: For Digital Transformation and Continuous Delivery – Sriram Narayan

To gain the full benefits of agility in any software organization, you need to extend it beyond developers to the organization as a whole.

Drawing on 15+ years working with leaders in telecommunications, finance, energy, retail, and beyond, he introduces a comprehensive agile approach to “Business-IT Effectiveness” that is as practical as it is valuable.

Sensemaking – Deborah Ancona

berkkibarer

Sensemaking, a term introduced by Karl Weick, refers to how we structure the unknown so as to be able to act in it. Sensemaking involves coming up with a plausible understanding—a map—of a shifting world; testing this map with others through data collection, action, and conversation; and then refining, or abandoning, the map depending on how credible it is. Sensemaking enables leaders to have a better grasp of what is going on in their environments, thus facilitating other leadership activities such as visioning, relating, and inventing. This chapter outlines ten…

Tests and Experiments – Richard A. Kass

berkkibarer

Test and experimentation are integral to the capability development process. This is the second of a two-part discussion on experimentation. This article considers the similarities and differences between experimentation and testing. While the two endeavors address different questions and exhibit some differences in the planning and execution process, overall similarities outweigh differences especially in event resources suggesting potential gains from sharing resources.

Approach, Method, Technique: Making Distinctions and Creating Connections – John Burnham

berkkibarer

As the works that systemic practitioners are involved in becomes more multifarious, the systemic model itself evolves to different levels of complexity. A model that was once associated almost exclusively with seeing families in therapy has during the last decade developed into a movement that offers potential for practitioners working in the broader domain of human systems. Within this movement there have been several notable papers which offer helpful clarifications for practitioners seeking ways to employ systemic perspectives and practices in different \vays [ego Lang, Little and Cronen (1990)].
