Unlocking data insights for North Lanarkshire Council
Agilisys & North Lanarkshire Council have been working in partnership for over a year to modernise and transform technology, which ultimately delivers improvements to citizens across the North Lanarkshire area. It was apparent that data existed in silos, with much of it either inaccessible or only visible to the appropriate service tower.
Working together, we have used modern Microsoft technologies to deliver data insights, surfacing and making data visible, which allows for improvements in data quality as well as more informed decision making.
Additional benefits of this work include reduction in manual processes to produce reports, allowing key council staff to focus more on analysis of data rather than data collection and manual reporting.
Technology used to deliver this includes: Power Platform, Power BI, SQL & Synapse,
During this session, we’ll share with you how the BI hub was developed, the impact that this has had on the council, and the longer term strategy for data insights at North Lanarkshire Council.
We will:
– share a practical example of how a modern data strategy can lead to significant process and service quality improvements
– walk through the steps we followed to take this from an idea, through to business case and implementation
– share lessons learned and recommendations for data insight successDunoonSat 10:00 – 10:45 -

Debug and test plugins, workflows, and security locally!
Want to be able to debug your plugin code and forget all about plugin-traces? Want to be able to create tests which can validate that your implemented business logic works as intended – including what you wrote several years ago? XrmMockup is a test-framework that can simulate your D365 environment locally, along with any plugin and workflow code you have.
I will be going through how to set up XrmMockup, how it works and what exactly it is capable of. With XrmMockup you can perform unit- and integration tests of your D365 pipeline. XrmMockup automatically runs plugins and workflows in the right order, even automatically triggering other plugins and workflows. At the same time, the security model of D365 is enforced just as it would be in your live D365 system.
XrmMockup will provide your tests with an organization service. Using this, your tests can query XrmMockup with any organization request – just like your live D365 system. This means all your business logic is run locally which allows you, as a developer, to set breakpoints and debug your business logic – instead of looking at traces in D365.
I will showcase XrmMockup by implementing some simple business logic using test driven development.StrathdonSat 10:00 – 10:45 -

How starting a podcast got me through a pandemic
This won’t be a session on the best podcast set up, or how to pick the best platforms. It won’t be a session on how to get the most plays, subscribers and followers.
What it it will cover is my personal experience of how stepping out of my comfort zone helped me through the pandemic and opened doors to other opportunities. How putting myself out there and and engaging with the community online helped me find my place in tech as a non-techie.
I will of course cover what I did to get started. I didn’t have the best gear and I didn’t have a clue about audio, recording or how to start a podcast but I’ll show you that it’s super easy to get started and talk about why you shouldn’t let perfectionism hold you back.
I didn’t follow the rules of “finding a niche” and sticking to it, I didn’t create a plan, I just dived right in and I’ve eventually found my way. Motivation is the product of action and once you get started the ideas, motivation and momentum follow.
All of this helped me through 2020, I learned so much from my guests, I learned that I love to share people’s stories and that our industry needs all kinds of people to be successful and reach our potential.
So if you’ve had an idea, if you’ve been holding back then hopefully this session will inspire you to ‘Do the thing’ in the words of Dona Sarkar.AlbaSat 11:00 – 11:45 -

Automation in the cloud for the reluctant IT Pro
In the old days, scheduling a script was easy: you just created a scheduled task on your favorite Windows Server and made that run your PowerShell script exactly how and when you wanted. Granted, scripts often stopped working when the author left the company and we disabled their user account, scripts targeting SharePoint didn’t like to be launched from any other server, and there’s plenty of other challenges about.

Event-driven autoscaling on Kubernetes with KEDA and Azure Functions
Event-driven, serverless architectures are a hot topic in today’s cloud-native application development. To take full advantage of the serverless benefits of event driven, your application needs to scale and react to those events instantly. It needs to be able to scale from zero to potentially thousands of instances. KEDA is an open sourced component that provides event driven autoscaling for your Kubernetes workloads.
KEDA works with any container, but to enable additional serverless capabilities within Kubernetes you can pair KEDA with the Azure Functions runtime. Don’t get fooled by ‘Azure’ in the name. Azure Functions provides a programming model that can run anywhere: in a container running on-premises, fully managed in Azure, or in any Kubernetes cluster and they can be written in many languages.
It allows application developers not to worry anymore about writing the code to connect, trigger, and pull from an event source like RabbitMQ, Kafka, or Azure Event Hubs. That’s all handled for you.
In this demo-filled session, we will start with a quick introduction on both Kubernetes and Azure Functions. You will then see how you can create your first cluster and install KEDA, deploy a function and scale that to thousands of instances based on events.WickSat 11:00 – 11:45 -

Sensitivity labels deep-dive
Microsoft Information Protection has come a long way. From the earliest beginnings (Azure RMS and Secure Islands) to the auto-classification of SharePoint Online data at-rest, there are no reasons not to use the functions it provides. But the prospect of using the labels is somewhat daunting. Will these work? What options do we have? Can I still collaborate with my partners?
In this session, Albert will do a deep-dive into Microsoft Information Protection. We’ll look at the configuration of the labels and the integration with Office Online. Including the (in preview) duo-key options.
Auto-classification of data at rest is also part of the agenda. We’ll look at the Microsoft 365 policies for this and the Azure Information Protection scanner. We’ll also dive into the scenario of data leakage and how information protection can be used to counter this as-well.
The concept of labeling containers (a SharePoint site or Teams environment) instead of the information itself is also discussed, including the pros and cons.
In the end you will have a great understanding of anything to do with labeling in Office 365 and beyond.DennySat 12:00 – 12:45 -

A journey through Microsoft Teams development
Microsoft Teams is changing the way people communicate and work worldwide and will be part of our lives in the decade to come.
Even though it is very robust and comes out of the box with fantastic features, it lacks native support for many business scenarios and this is where you can make the difference by extending it with custom Apps making everyone much more productive.

Deploying Models to production with Azure ML
Deploying models is a pretty important aspect to consider while building end-to-end ML applications. I first plan to show how the models could be registered with Azure ML so as to make them accessible and allow them to be loaded for deployment. I then plan to show how configurations could be built for deploying the models with Azure ML. Azure ML allows us to easily deploy models to receive low latency real-time inferences which are required for a lot of applications, so I would majorly focus on this and also show how one could consume these models. I would further show how to also build batch inference pipelines. If time persists I would also show demos for the same.

Make PowerShell A Real Solution in 5 Steps
PowerShell is an awesome framework for automating and standardizing recurring tasks like user on-/off-boardings, provisioning VMs or creating new Microsoft Teams according to your governance rules.
But it requires three things: 1. PowerShell know-how 2. Time to write scripts 3. Backend permissions to run scripts in your on-premises, hybrid or cloud environment.
These three requirements typically limit the use of PowerShell to IT Administrators and IT Pros.
Now, what if you could delegate PowerShell to helpdesk teams and end users in a secure and easy way?
No matter if you manage on-premise, hybrid or cloud infrastructures, you can achieve this with ScriptRunner.
In this session I show you how you simplify the way you develop, manage and delegate PowerShell in 5 steps.
Expect lots of Office 365 and Azure demos.
1. Centralize your PowerShell scripts and modules
2. Secure credentials and permissions management

Talking to myself(?) – lessons learned from presenting online
If you had asked me in March if it was possible to speak or conduct training – with high quality – via the internet I would have said “sure, it’s doable, but it’s different and it’s going pale in comparison to an in-person delivery. I would avoid it.”
Then the world went off the rails.
Suddenly everyone had to adapt to being in quarantine or lockdown and not going to any conferences or trainings for the foreseeable future. I was forced to figure out a way to conduct technical training using tools that I didn’t believe in, by to people that I couldn’t see – without it sucking.
I had to figure out how to position myself to be able to use my hands, how to seamlessly switch between PowerPoint and the Azure portal and how to gauge my students’ information retention – all in about a week. It turns out that there are a lot more hours in a week than the 40 most people are used to working.
This session walks through what I’ve learned from speaking and conducting training over the internet the last few months – both what works well and what … Doesn’t.ObanSat 13:00 – 13:45 -

Power Platform Better Together: Create a Scoring App with a Live Dashboard
Often during a presentation or workshop, you want to have an interactive quiz.
Maybe you’ve used Kahoot or any of the other platforms out there, but they rarely integrate well with our other applications. Using the Power Platform, we’ll create an interactive quiz that gives you the best of all worlds.
Our goal is to create an app where attendees will answer questions and be awarded points for (partially) correct answers.
We want to have an application where we can enter the name of an attendee and their score. Ideally, we’ll be showing the results using that application so there’s no constant switching going on.
And, we’re going to accomplish this by using 3 of the Power Platform products: Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI.
Join this session to see how to build this solution from scratch!DunoonSat 13:00 – 13:45 -

Zero Trust Admins – Why you should start using Azure AD PIM today!
One of the important principles for Zero Trust is to use least privileged access. Global Administrators or Subscription Owners are the new Domain/Enterprise Admins, in many organizations too many users have these roles. By implementing just-in-time and just-enough-access (JIT/JEA) policies, we can reduce vulnerability and attack surface, and the right tool for the job is using Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM). I have been using AAD PIM for years, and in this session I will share my best practices and how to implement and use the right way.

Let systems communicate using Azure Integration Services
How do I let my systems talk with each other in the Cloud or let’s say in Azure? Well, Microsoft’s answer to that is Azure Integration Services (AIS) – consisting of Logic Apps, API Management, Event Grid and the Service Bus. With these components, you can build solutions in Azure to facilitate communication between on-premise systems, SaaS systems or Azure services or what is known as integration.
AIS allows you to build various types of integration solutions leveraging different messaging mechanisms and ways of ‘loose coupling’. Furthermore, AIS can help in automating your business processes whether or not in combination with the Power Platform component – Power Automate.
In this session, we shall discuss the AIS Components, the options for a solution architecture to allow systems to talk, best practices, real-world use cases, and combing AIS with Power Automate to facilitate business process automation.LossiemouthSat 13:00 – 13:45 -

Programming for Accessibility
My life is a hilarious roller coaster of miss-intended programming bugs because at 120 cm tall and 50 kilograms I completely fall off your radar.
Why did my scale call me! Why does facial recognition see me as a child? These are all valid questions I often ask myself as I navigate my weird and different world. Have you heard the phrase “You have to be this tall for Micro-services”? well what about: “You have to be this tall to operate a mobile phone?”. I am finding it harder and harder to reach any button except for “#” and “9”.
Building accessibility into the planning stages of programming can eliminate barriers for participation and create an inclusive environment for people with disabilities. Programming for diversity serves as an unquestionable indicator that your software embraces the diversity of your users and cares about their safety and comfort.

Implementation of the “Zero Trust” strategy in practice
We are aware of the fact that most individuals and companies have embraced cloud computing nowadays and all the benefits it provides as such. The number of cloud users, especially users of Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 is expanding every day. However, malicious users and criminal activists quickly realized potential advantages (or, eventually, disadvantages) of cloud technologies and are often few steps ahead of us. Today’s data is in the cloud, on the go, on mobile phones, laptops, tablets – it is no longer residing solely on premises, or within company boundaries, but also in a public data centre. In order to effectively protect and combat attacks and data theft, it is necessary to fundamentally change how we think and to change the approach to the concept of computer infrastructure security we had until now. In this lecture you will learn what the “Zero Trust” strategy is, which is why it is extremely important, and most importantly, we will show the implementation of the “Zero Trust” strategy in the Microsoft cloud in practice.

Helping Hands – Rapid Dynamics Solution to Support the Shielding
During the 2020 lockdown, Agilisys worked with many UK council partners to rapidly develop and deploy a solution to track & manage support for our most vulnerable citizens. We did this using Customer Engagement in Dynamics 365, and so far the solution has helped provide support and assistance to over 300k citizens who were either instructed to shield or identified as vulnerable.
Helping Hands provides a way to track contacts with those who are shielding, manage volunteers who assisted with activities like medication drops, social contact and deliveries of groceries / shopping amongst other things.
We developed an early prototype and have since deployed several iterations due to the ever-changing COVID situation; during the development of Helping Hands, we worked closely with our local authorities partners, and the solution has been described as something that will leave a lasting legacy. Alongside our local government partners, we also worked with two additional agencies to ensure that raw data about the shielding and vulnerable was collated, loaded and turned into a useful and easy to use CRM system.
During this session, we will share the Helping Hands journey, including:
– Share our experience of developing the solution in Customer Engagement, including the rapidly changing requirements
– Provide a timeline of the development and what this meant for the most vulnerable
– Demonstrate the system (using randomised test data)
– Hear from one of our key clients, who will talk about what this solution delivered for them and how it helped them maintain a supportive approach to their most vulnerable citizensInverkeithingSat 14:00 – 14:45 -
Web Developer’s Journey to Azure
As a web developer one not just build an application today but also make sure that the application is rightly deployed into the target platform.

Why I am hooked on the future of React
The React team rewrote the book on developing components. Before we had a choice between classes and functional components. Yet many components needed to be classes. A functional component was often too limited. Now, using hooks, we can extend functional components to be as powerful as we want.
Suspense and asynchronous rendering is in the future of React. It will make large applications much more responsive and easier to deal with. Getting started with suspense and asynchronous rendering isn’t hard as you will discover.
Come to this session to learn what React hooks are and how to get started using hooks. But be warned, once seen React hooks can’t be unseen and your React components will never be the same again.StrathdonSat 14:00 – 14:45 -
An Architects Guide to Delivering Data Insights on the Microsoft Azure Data Platform
The resources on offer in Azure are constantly changing, which means as data professionals we need to constantly change too. Updating knowledge and learning new skills. No longer can we rely on products matured over a decade to deliver all our solution requirements. Today, data platform architectures designed in Azure with best intentions and known good practices can go out of date within months. That said, is there now a set of core components we can utilise in the Microsoft cloud to ingest and deliver insights from our data? When does ETL become ELT? When is IaaS better than PaaS? Do we need to consider scaling up or scaling out? And should we start making cost the primary factor for choosing certain technologies? In this session we’ll explore the answers to all these questions and more from an architects viewpoint. Based on real world experience lets think about just how far the breadth of our knowledge now needs to reach when starting from nothing and building a complete Microsoft Azure Data Platform solution.

Creating a More Inclusive Workplace
2020 was a year that delivered many challenges for all of us – lockdown across the UK triggered a significant transformation in weeks, with many organisations having to quickly enable technology that would help people work more effectively from home.
However, a lot of people found this more challenging due to disabilities, mental health conditions and the loss of the in-person contact and support network that they previously had in the office.
Microsoft 365 is a productivity platform which has accessibility features embedded within its DNA. Many of these are hidden in plain sight, with people not realising the capabilities they have at their disposal, which can help make it easier for them to use and work with technology. Additionally, there are also many things that we can all do as individuals to help us be more inclusive – whether it is through creating more inclusive content or changing how we interact with people through technology.
In this session, I will share:
– the top accessibility features hidden across Microsoft 365, and how they can make it easier for you to work
– how to create more inclusive content in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint
– how I use Microsoft Teams for social connections with my colleagues
– tips for running inclusive meetings in Microsoft TeamsNairnSat 15:00 – 15:45 -

Code Review Etiquettes 101
On most software projects, developers spend a good chunk of their time doing code reviews. These are a great opportunity to provide positive and impactful feedback. More often than not it is up to the person whose code is under review to read and interpret code review comments, which makes it very important to consider the structure, tone and value of these comments. Things as simple as saying “we could change this” instead of “you should change this” and asking for feedback on a suggestion (e.g.: “I think this could be implemented using tool X. What are your thoughts on that?”) go a long way in ensuring that the comment and the reviewer are received in a positive light. In this talk I will share code review practices that I have found helpful during my tenure as a software engineer.

How to become a zero complaint organisation using AI builder, Customer Insights and Power Automate
The reason complaints are so problematic is because by the time complaint is made, the damage to the relationship with your customer has already been done.
What if we showed you how you could use Microsoft’s AI builder to predict if someone was likely to make a complaint or if a situation was likely to develop into a complaint before it happened? Sounds good, doesn’t it? What if we could take this further, using customer insights to surface this information and create a proactive “complaint intervention” using Power Automate. Let’s take action before our customer feels inclined to complain, lets become customer service superheroes!CoatbridgeSat 15:00 – 15:45 -

From zero to community hero
Want to get more involved in your community but don’t know where to start? Want to take your contributions to the next level?
This session will help you harness your community super-powers, whether you’re just getting started or want to take your contributions to the next level, using it to advance your career and grow as both a person and a developer.
Growing from a passive community member a few years ago, to speaking at 25+ events all over the world last year, organising events and becoming a Microsoft MVP, Callum knows first-hand the impact being involved can have on yourself and others.
Callum will share his tips for convincing your boss of the value, funding your global travels, and most importantly discovering the right balance between work and family to avoid burnout.
We’ll look at the “human” side of community, the importance of keeping contributions sustainable – avoiding fatigue and burnout, and ways we can all share the responsibility for improving diversity.
We’ll discuss the many different flavours of community beyond coding – including ways for people who aren’t developers to get involved – and how convincing others to share more is vital for communities to grow.StrathavenSat 16:00 – 16:45 -
Finding Intestinal Fortitude in Todays Fast Paced and High Pressure Climate

Use your source code to document your application
As a development team, writing documentation is often not our favorite activity. And keeping it up to date after every code change is a bigger challenge. Developers claim that the source code is the documentation itself, but do your stakeholders agree, do they actually read the code? And does it show how the part are working together?
What if our source code would be the source of our documentation, for the team and our stakeholders?
In this session we will see how we can utilize Roslyn to generate documentation. Like creating diagrams that display the structure and relationships within an aggregate, or a sequence diagram that displays the flow throughout the application. We will render this using file formats such as PlantUML, Markdown and AsciiDoc.
After this session you will be able to let your source code speak in forms that your team and your stakeholders explain to the operation of your application.RosewellSat 16:00 – 16:45 -

The one secret of every high performing team: a collaboration contract
Every time a new team comes together, all participants agree that they will collaborate. Not only that, but they also agree on collaborate in an efficient way. But do you know what?
Everybody has a very clear idea of how good cooperation works…but unfortunately, everybody has his own idea!
The modern workplace offers hundred different possibilities to collaborate, to communicate, track your tasks, keep you up to date, manage your time. The possibilities are almost endless, and everybody has his/her own, very unique working style. Naturally, you will experience misunderstandings, different understandings of deadlines, roles, and responsibilities.
Some projects teams seem to work together effortlessly, while others experience a hard time doing so.
In this session, Michael will reveal the secret tips and tricks those highly effective teams know and use every day. Michael will show you how to master the art of the collaboration contract:
1. What is a collaboration contract and why is it necessary?
2. What content needs to be covered in such a contract?
3. How can Microsoft Teams help you with that?
He will demonstrate that using Microsoft Teams as an example, but it works with other tools too. Even without anyone!
You will end up with a clear understanding of how to smoothen your teamwork, even for teams who work together remotely and for a limited period of time. Michael will provide you with a clear checklist of things to think about and take care of.
What concerns all, can only be solved by all!
Session takeaways
• Understand what challenges have to be overcome by a modern team
• Learn what a collaboration contract is and how it supports your teamwork -every day

From Concept to Reality: A Practical Application of Actionable Data
Anyone can make a pretty bar graph, but can you make sound decisions based on that graph? Is it actionable, or is it only a concept? How do you turn flashy concepts into actionable visualizations? Can you see the end result of those concepts; will they ever become reality? Do you have the vision and drive to figure out how to get from today to tomorrow before it becomes yesterday?
American mathematician John Tukey once said, “The greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see.” What value do you see in your data? And what ideas do you have when you see it? Learn how you can capitalize on your ideas and turn them into reality by blending internal with external, leveraging them into a cohesive strategy for both the short term AND the long term. See the five “Stages of the Spectrum” in action while discovering the difference between impact and influence, and how that difference plays into making data actionable.ArisaigSat 16:00 – 16:45 -

CYBERSECURITY!, The good, the bad, and the hacked
With security moving closer to the beginning of the software development lifecycle, developers are being asked to make their code more secure as they write it. Not only will that better protect organizations from cyberattacks, but it can save time and money by getting apps online faster.
Developers, however, are not security experts. That’s why compilations such as the OWASP Top Ten list of critical web application security risks contain the same vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, year after year.
This session aims to expose developers, technology enthusiasts, and the general public to the need for security and they can build secure productsArdrossanSat 16:00 – 16:45 -

What the Soviet Space Program Taught Me About Digital Product Development
The space race between the USA and USSR was one of the great dramatic stories of the 20th century. Our very industry was born as Washington and Moscow relentlessly competed to master the stars.
For space nuts like me, this fascinating time is utterly compelling. It’s also highly instructive for digital product developers. After all, engineers drove the innovation that pushed us beyond earth. The lessons they learned and processes they created can help us today as we make software, apps, and advanced functionality online.
Of course, the Soviet side of the story tends to be less understood. And that’s exactly what we’ll explore. It’s unbelievable stuff, and a cautionary tale for development teams.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
– How differing philosophies of development lead to different processes and results.
– What Soviet imperatives parallel modern development approaches.
– Why the USSR led the space race early, but ultimately failed to reach the moon first.
– What we can learn, adapt, and avoid today from the 20th century Soviet model.TillicoultrySat 16:00 – 16:45 -

Machine Learning crash-course
There is a misguided conception that we all need to be rocket scientists to use machine learning in production – to this I say balderdash! … Machine learning is an engineering skill that developers need to add to their bag of tricks, and the journey doesn’t have to be painful.
The aim of this session is to give a solid crash-course in “just enough” Machine Learning that attendees can apply the skills learned in a practical manner, in code, immediately.
So, leave your calculus and trigonometry at the door, and learn how to predict the future in 45 minutes, no math required 🙂StrathdonSat 16:00 – 16:45 -
Security in the Cloud – 10 unknown facts you have to be very careful about while using Azure!
During the session I will show 10 things which are easily omitted during cloud deployments and can led to data and identity exposure. By default cloud providers tend to give very flexible environment with great possibility of automation, however then people on various levels tend to forget how to deploy environments with security in mind. During my cloud journey for last 5 years in the enterprise sector I have seen security teams focused mainly on networking security while the whole rest has been left. So then during the session we will focus on things like Network Peering and filtering, Outgoing traffic, Azure Active Directory, RBAC custom roles, Azure Policy, Managed Service Identity, Azure VM agent, App Service Plan for AppService, Azure VM Disk Encryption and couple more. All of those, who would like to be active during the workshop, will have the chance to play with those tools on their own environment

The Myth of a successful Teams rollout
Many companies had to roll out MS Teams over the last few months in a hurry with little to no time to think about governance and no budget for adoption & change activities.
Realization set in later that giving the business users everything was not the best option. Topics like naming conventions, when to use which tool, team creation, external users, mobile device management, and more need to be addressed after all.
Join this session to learn how to reign in an ad hoc MS Teams rollout that will make the IT team sleep better at night, the business users feel less overwhelmed, and create sustainability. Or join this session to learn how to plan your upcoming roll out thoroughly to make it a success for everyone during these difficult times.BonessSat 16:00 – 16:45 -
Power BI dataflows : Going beyond the self-service
What was already good has became even better. We were already able to make ETL in Power BI using M, now, using the Power BI Data Flows we are able to store the ETL on the Power BI Portal, control the ETL execution, the data among many ETL steps and share the result with many Power BI files, instead of having to duplicate M scripts across different .PBIX files
This feature allow us to create a more complex and re-usable ETL solution, creating small dataflows and allowing them to be reused in a dataflow hierarchy, which can be re-used in many different datasets, creating a more robust and reusable architecture.
In this session you will understand better how the dataflows are an important feature in making Power BI go way beyond the self-serviceWesthillSat 16:00 – 16:45 -

Performance, Optimization, and Intelligent Error Handling in Power Query
There are two primary cornerstones to building optimized and low maintenance queries in Power BI. The first is making sure queries have been designed to refresh at optimal speeds. Primary topics for performance tuning include: removing columns and rows, applied step configuration and order precedence, query folding, managing variables, and tables vs lists for transformations. The other important cornerstone is intelligently identifying and handling errors as they occur during scheduled refreshes. Primary topics for error handling include: replacing vs removing errors, collecting error metadata, and configuring the refresh to either fail or refresh successfully when errors occur.

4 Pillars of Successful Agile Test Automation.
Motivation:
————-
After executing a project to test a cloud-based microservices platform, we experienced a lot of challenges in both technical and social manners and tried to develop solutions to cope with them. Finally, we have wrapped them up to make a list of golden rules to successfully manage a test project. The purpose of this talk is to give insights about how a test automation project is managed.
Our problems were:
—————-
Technically, if not managed properly, automated testing will lead to extra costs and could even be less effective than manual testing.
From another aspect, at some point, we had too many complaints in our retrospective meetings about the heavy deployment activities and redundant executions. We had lots of flaky tests, execution lists full of not clear test definitions. Everyone was sick and tired of maintenance issues and the team was not happy. We took actions to improve motivation in the team.
Our 4 fundamental solutions are:
————–
* Being truly agile: Adapt new solutions quickly.
* Manage the progress: Be aware of what is going on by setting KPIs to track & monitor with tools like CloudWatch, Grafana
+ Technical part: Automation principles for the sake of robustness.
* Solutions to reduce flaky tests & analysis effort & costs: Code demos on Java API polling libraries, Selenium usage and others.
* How we solved flaky tests: Adaptations into the code and observing the effect of each application. A few examples are polling mechanisms (safe wait methods) and test design techniques
* For maintenance efforts: We keep test history in the pipelines and develop helper methods to improve quality.
Improve coverage from different aspects to reduce escaped bugs.
* Team spirit!
Results & Conclusion
———
After application of our proposals, we observed that waste is eliminated by prioritization and removing duplicated or dispensable work. After all, we believe that this submission has interesting content which can make great attention. Instead of theoretical claims, we discuss faced challenges and applied solutions. We analyze effects of solutions with before-after situations, graphs and evidence. Instead of what to do, we go over how to do it.
Takeaways
———–
Proposed approaches can be applied by any organization by adapting according to the related work to achieve time and cost reduction. After this talk:
* Attendees will know our 4 golden milestones for successful agile testing: Being truly agile, Managing and improving internal processes, building a Good Automation Framework and Improving Efficiency.
* Attendees will be able to realize the importance of test coverage and see how it affects defects coming from production.
* Attendees will be able to realize the effect of test suites on sprint planning and execution effort.
* Attendees will be able to have some insights about increasing efficiency.
* Attendees will be able to utilize automation not only in implementation, but also in Executions, Reporting and other phases.
* Attendees will be able to analyze bugs. Just resolve and close them, or gain some lessons-learnt from them?

Azure SQL Database – Where is my SQL Agent?
You migrate your on premise SQL Database to cloud, taking advantage of PaaS offering of Azure SQL Database. You heard the promise of spinning up databases on demand and being able to scale up resources during high peak and scale down when not in use. You also want to make sure you are performing integrity checks, index defragmentation and statistics update when necessary. There is no SQL Agent so how do you automate your jobs? Do you have time to do this manually each time? No. There are different options available to automate these long-running, manual, error-prone, and frequently repeated tasks to increase reliability, efficiency.
In this demo intensive session I will show you different options on how to automate these tasks. Some of these solution using on-prem infrastructure or services in Azure which are conveniently encapsulate within the common Azure portal experience.

A Deep Dive into Measuring Dependency Freshness with LibYear
LibYear is a dependency freshness measure which helps you learn how out of date your project’s dependencies are. While LibYear has considerable value when used as a “spot” metric, something that you just measure once, there is even more power that can be unlocked when you observe how the metric has trended over time. In this talk, we’ll explore a tool, libmetrics, which is able to compute this metric across a project’s history. The libmetrics tool supports many different dependency management tools from many different frameworks. Also during this talk, we’re going to look at graphs of LibYear over time for many different open source projects. By analyzing these graphs, we can see the long term impacts of different decisions, such as when a team decides to start using Dependabot.

How to fight data preparation debt with Jupyter Notebook and DataFrame using Microsoft ML.NET
Until recently ML.NET did not have a good REPL (read–eval–print–loop) instrument to experience interactively with code and data, but now, .NET developers can run on-premise interactive machine learning scenarios with Jupyter Notebooks using C#, F#, or Powershell scripts in a web browser.
Similarly to technical debt, when it comes to data we can talk about data preparation debt. In order to reduce data preparation debt we need to find some answers:
– Is my data large enough?
– Is my data good enough?
– Is my data clean enough?
– Is my data biased?
ML.NET components like data loaders, estimators, trainers, transformers, or predictors are all working with DataView object. DataView is a lazy-loading object (like IEnumerable), therefore we have to call Fit method to bind it to data. In order to visualize and prepare the data, we need another object like DataFrame which is an in-memory collection of columns and rows, providing features similar to Pandas.
This talk will give you an overview of a variety of instruments like categorical and numerical distribution, box plot segmentation, correlation matrix, evaluation metrics, and confusion matrix, and more, which will help you to know if you have enough, good and unbiased data.StrathdonSat 17:00 – 17:45 -

The last step that we want, is to make this data available in Azure SQL Database or Azure Synapse Analytics. Oh and we want to have some logging as well from our processes A lot to talk and to demo about during this session.

Come utilizzare in modo efficiente le risorse Azure grazie alla governance
L’adozione di soluzioni legate al cloud pubblico, con le sue caratteristiche di dinamicità e rapidità di provisioning, rende fondamentale la definizione delle politiche di governance. Non solo, la semplicità di delega e un modello di costi legato al consumo, espone l’azienda ad un rischio di perdita di controllo sui costi. Si tratta quindi non solo di un tema legato alla supportability degli ambienti realizzati, ma anche di una possibile esposizione finanziaria non prevedibile se non governata. La Governance dell’ambiente Azure è resa possibile da una serie di servizi appositamente progettati per consentire una gestione ed un costante controllo delle varie risorse Azure su vasta scala. In questa sessione verranno approfondite le tecniche per definire e gestire al meglio la governance dei servizi in Azure grazie all’esperienza maturata in anni di lavoro con il cloud pubblico.
