50 shades of Dev Practices

More than twenty years ago, Extreme Programming (XP) emerged with development practices such as Pair Programming, TDD or Refactoring, which are at the heart of the method.

That was more than 2 decades ago...
Since then, new practices have emerged that allow development teams to be even more efficient.

What would XP look like in 2021 if we had to update it?

During the session we will all have the opportunity to share practices we would like to add to our dev toolbox.

1. @yot88 50 shades of Dev Practices
2. Who am I ? Technical Agile coach, Software craftsman I’m Yoan THIRION (freelance) • design software since more than 12 years • fundamental to succeed in that area : agility and technical excellence • help teams deliver well crafted software • implementation of agile and technical practices (eXtreme programming, Refactoring, DDD, Mob programming, …) Let’s connect My services https://www.yoan-thirion.com/ Technical agile coaching Communities of practice Cultural change devops Brown bags Serious games

4. @yot88 Accelerate • Effective development matters for organizational success • You can measure development organizations effectiveness objectively • Particular behaviors and technical practice drive better metrics Type Metric Elite Low THROUGHPUT Deployment Frequency Multiple per day 1 - 6 months Lead Time for Changes Less than 1 day 1 - 6 months STABILITY Mean Time to Restore Less than 1 hour 1 - 4 weeks Change Failure Rate 0 - 15 % 46 - 60 %

13. @yot88 What would we add in 2021? Probably some technical practices
14. @yot88 Mob programming • strengthen collective ownership / alignment • share knowledge • learn together
15. @yot88 approval testing • Also called : Characterization Tests OR Snapshot Tests or Golden Master • outputs that need human approval to say whether the functionality is implemented as expected https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-craftsmanship/code-katas/gilded-rose-approval-testing Less assertions/ less tests Must have to work on legacy code An asset for tdd Scrubbers : convert the non-deterministic text to something stable. Ex : Guid, Dates, …
16. @yot88 Property-based testing • identify and test invariants / properties • something that will always be true, no matter what data you provide to your algorithm for all (x, y, ...) such that property (x, y, ...) is satisfied https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-craftsmanship/code-katas/improve-your-software-quality-with-property-based-testing Given (x, y, ...) When I [call the subject under test] with (x, y, ...) Then I expect this (output) Example-based property-based
17. @yot88 Mikado • break down refactoring tasks into smaller ones • the code is almost NEVER in an unstable state. https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-craftsmanship/code-katas/mikado-method https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-craftsmanship/code-katas/refactoring-journey-kata
18. @yot88 Domain driven design • A development approach • strategic and Tactical patterns TACTICAL STRATEGIC https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-architecture/ddd-re-distilled
19. @yot88 Consumer driven contract • Améliorer le design et le testing de vos micro-services • Approche de testing orientée “consumer” / Contrat • Éviter les problèmes d’intégration • Valider constamment que nos services sont en capacité de se comprendre https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-craftsmanship/testing/improve-the-design-and- testing-of-your-micro-services-through-consumer-driven-contract-tests
20. @yot88 CODE analysis Static + behavioral Don’t wait the end of your projects to use them Start from the beginning https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-craftsmanship/software-design-x-rays/workshop Hotspot analysis Code coupling Knowledge diffusion System Health
21. @yot88 mutation testing A technique to gauge the quality of our tests • Generate mutants • Launch tests • Check result / Generate report https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-craftsmanship/testing/mutation-testing
22. Design sessions 1) Open a new item 2) Agree on item’s definition 3) Align on flows to implement 4) Write the code Skeleton Pojos Domains Contracts, … todos agree on the naming / parameters / contracts 5) part or whole team works on the implementation Whole team or Puzzle Driven Development https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-craftsmanship/practices/design-sessions
23. @yot88 • capture architectural decisions to understand why and their consequences • log the elements that justified a decision Architecture decision records
24. @yot88 Tech radar • One source of truth: what should/may be used • Organize your technology watch https://github.com/ythirion/tech-radar-hugo

27. @yot88 Technique but not only... What do we need to live well as a team?
28. @yot88 Soft skills / communication • To live well as a team • Understand each other nvc Give / receive feedback NLP
29. @yot88 Facilitation (interactions, workshops) events (retrospectives, stand-ups, …) Event storming, story mapping, break silos / alignment Liberating structures 7 P Canvas
30. @yot88 leadership Host leadership https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/leadership/learn-leadership-from-the-navy-seals

34. Continuous learning
35. @yot88 Continuous learning… how ?
36. @yot88 Continuous learning
37. @yot88 Community of practices • connect people / break down silos • share knowledge • learn together • solve problems (collective intelligence) https://yoan-thirion.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/agile-coaching/how-to-run-a-community-of-practices-cop
38. @yot88 Learning hours / mentoring Code katas Deliberate practice M.E.N.T.O.R model Mission Engagement Networking Trust Opportunity Review / Renewal
39. @yot88 xtrem(s) • stimulate collective intelligence with o Reading o Tech watch • share passions / knowledge • Learning as a group Tools to become a learning organization XTREM Watch XTREM reading
40. @yot88 Conferences / meetups • Learn from others • Stay up-to-date With covid a lot of online events On any topics, from anywhere
41. @yot88 Technical Coaching Help teams grow Learning hours, code katas, pair programming, mob programming, agile, coaching, … https://philippe.bourgau.net/the-story-about-how-we-do-agile-technical-coaching/
42. – Allan Kelly Implement what makes sense in your context: experiment / learn "create your own process, don’t follow someone else’s prescription.” - allan kelly
43. I learned a lot, but it doesn't apply to me I have learned a lot And I can apply it Level of knowledge acquired Applicability of this knowledge I didn't learn much And it doesn't apply to me I can apply what little I have learned
