Agenda
What its all about
Intro to Continuous Delivery
Principles of Continuous Delivery
Look at a Pipe
Impact on Methods and Professions
Importance of Architecture
Scaling Continuous Delivery
What its all about
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customerthrough early and continuous delivery
of valuable software.
What does that mean?
As soon as we have added value to the application it should be in the hands of the customer.
Are we really delivering as soon as possible?
Pre Planning
Dev Sys Test Reg Test

Scrummerfall happens because its hard for developers to have something deployable for the testers to test.
System testing on something that has not been regression tested is fundamentally flawed.
Cost of regression test tends to bloat sprint content.
Sprint 2-4 weeks
Are we really delivering as soon as possible?
Delivering every 2-4 weeks when a SET of features have been completed is NOT delivering value as soon as
possible.
Remind me why do we want to deliver as soon as possible.
FeedbackFaster feedback, less upfront design, easier to build what the customer wants.
ComplexitySmall change sets are low risk, easy to understand and easy to manage.
CostUnreleased code is cost without value.
So what is stopping us?
Its hard to...... system and regression test right at the moment when the
value has been added.... to even just have an application deploy at the moment
when the value has been added
Continuous Delivery
Build Release Deploy Test Prod
Your application always builds, passes its unit tests, deploys and passes system tests.
Continuous Integration/Delivery/Deploy
Continuous Integration Your application always builds and passes its unit tests.
Continuous DeliveryYour application always builds, passes its unit tests, deploys and passes its
system tests making it always ready to deploy to production through a largely automated process
Continuous DeploymentYour application automatically deploys to production through a fully automated
process
Continuously as in all the time?
Yes!
End of sprint isn't continuously. Weekly isn't continuously. Nightly isn't continuously.
Every code commit is continuously!
What Tests? Unit? Component? System?
Yes!
All of it and eventually you will add Rollback, Load and Failover as well.
Principles of Continuous Delivery
1. The process MUST be repeatable, reliable and independent of key personnel
2. Automate everything
Principles of Continuous Delivery
3. If something is difficult or painful, do i more often
Principles of Continuous Delivery
4. Keep everything in source control AND release it.
Principles of Continuous Delivery
5. Done means released
Principles of Continuous Delivery
6. Build Quality In
Principles of Continuous Delivery
7. Fail Fast
Principles of Continuous Delivery
8. Everybody has responsibility for the release process
Principles of Continuous Delivery
9. Improve continuously
Principles of Continuous Delivery
The pipe - Build once!
Build Release
Build and Unit test then release it!
The pipe - Release everything!

SummaryWe build once
Release everythingAutomate everything
Fast feedbackAutomate all tests except UAT
Obvious benefits
Continuous Regression testing gives instant feedback.
Continuously deploying to test servers tests deploy mechanism several hundred times per release.
Always ready to push new release into UAT
We can get customer feedback as soon as value has been added
Continuous Delivery - Feature Verification
Pre Planning
Dev Reg Test
Continuously
Continuous Regression means that all feature verification is always done on a functioning application.
Forces Test Driven Development as the gap in time between Reg Test and Verification of new features leaves untested code in the application.
System Test
When a feature is done
Continuous Delivery - Impact on Scrum
Pre Planning
Dev Reg Test
No need for any code freeze period.Short sprints are possible since there is no need for long regression test period
Features can be planned at start or just before feature start.Features can be done and "released" but not delivered until sprint.
Features can be developed serially or in parallel within a sprint.
System Test
Feature cycle
Pre Planning
Dev Reg Test System Test
Feature cycle
Continuous Delivery - Impact on Scrum
Features can be done and "released" but not delivered until sprint.Breaks continuous delivery?
Don't we want to continuously deliver to UAT?We want feedback as soon as possible!
Undelivered code is a cost without value!
IF you stick to scrum do NOT submit to mid sprint releases instead shorten your sprints.
Continuous Delivery - Impact on Scrum
Scrum is based on developing a feature set without distraction, mid sprint releases are a huge distraction.
Working towards two deadlines within one sprint causes stress.
Discussion about what features will be done for the mid sprint release are a distraction and time sink.
Deploying what happens to be ready isnt so bad in theory, in reality Product owner will expect features at mid sprint.
Continuous Delivery - Feature driven development
Feature driven development is very naturalAnalyze, Design, Develop+Test, Deliver to UAT
Development can be done serial or parallel
No done and unreleased code

Continuous Delivery - Continuous Responsibility
Developers have to take responsibility for their check ins.
Regression test before commit, make a smoke test suite for fast feedback
Never just change regression tests to make them work
Evolve new tests with the code
Continuous Delivery - Continuous Responsibility
If we break the pipe we need to fix it ASAP
Things will break, things should break, when it does fix it!
Never leave the pipe red!
Continuous Delivery - Continuous Responsibility
Portability and visiblity
Pipe has to be portable in order for developers to be able to take responsibility.
Fast feedback has to be visible.
Continuous Delivery & Test Driven Development
Time Gap between code commit of new feature and execution of test case needs to be minimal.
If it´s green it needs to go into regression suite ASAPIf there is a bug equally it needs to be reported equally ASAP
Developing tests in parallel with code minimizes the gap.
Continuous Delivery & Test Driven Development
Who should automate the tests?
Test Design - Done by TestersTest automation - Done by ????Coding - Done by Developers

Continuous Delivery & Architecture
Architect for testability and change.
Architect around services.Clearly defined responsibility.
Small components.Build in testability.
Build strong support for feature flags.
Continuous Delivery & Scalability
Single threaded process does not scale
Scale around number of code committersDedicated servers create bottlenecks
Good architecture helps, monoliths don't.Isolated and parallelized testcases help.
Use cloud nodes!!If no cloud available build a pool of servers.
Continuous Delivery & Expansion
Each individual that is exposed to CD has to mature
Continuous Delivery is individual maturity.Each new individual has to mature and learn.
Each new team has to mature and learn.There are no short cuts for new team members just faster learning.
Benefits
Continuous Regression testing gives instant feedback.
Continuously deploying to test servers tests deploy mechanism several hundred times per release.
Always ready to push new release into UAT
Test Driven Development
Continuous Responsibility by Developers
Sustainable Quality
