My interests
I support projects (hands-on as well as conceptual, as developer/architect, release/deploy/delivery engineer) and provide seminars in the following areas: Java/JEE, Agile (including tooling), ALM/SCM, DevOps and Continuous Delivery.
For many years, I have been supporting middle-sized and big projects and passing along insights about the latest tools that make it possible to deliver beyond the customer's expectations, and I have found that Agile strategies and environments are critical in this regard, integrating
common project phases, project roles and activities:
Tools should implement requirements and concepts. I prefer to use tools that allow productive software development. There are many good tools on the market that I prefer to use and consult on including: Jenkins/Hudson, TeamCity, Bamboo, Maven, Ant, Gradle, PMD, FindBugs, Checkstyle, Sonar, Cobertura, Mockito,
Subversion, Git, Fit/FitNesse, XStream, Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, Mylyn, Artifactory, Nexus, JIRA, FishEye, GreenHopper, Trac, Puppet, and others.
Agile ALM
After chosing the right tools, they should be used and integrated in the most efficient way. This can be a selective adoption, or a "full lifecycle tooling", including tools for code, test, build, configure and delivery. Application lifecycle management (ALM) protects your assets and boosts productivity. Although not a must, ALM should be enriched with Agile strategies.
What is ALM? ALM is a comprehensive approach streamlining your software development process.
Agile ALM
- Is the marriage of business management to software engineering
- Targets processes and tools working together seamlessly, without silos (silos are for farmers!)
- Spans development phases and project roles to foster communication and team collaboration
- Enriches ALM with Agile strategies
- Is based on Software Configuration Management and version control
- Is based on a set of lightweight tools, enabling a team to collaborate efficiently
- Includes artifact types to continuous integration, inspection and deployment including Java, Groovy, Scala, Cobol, .NET, and others
- Sets up and uses an unified infrastructure
