What does agility mean as an architectural characteristic? This is a very important question I learned how to better answer thanks to Neal Ford and his amazing course about Architecture for Modern Engineering Practices.

Check out the paper "Building soft skills through a role-play based approach for Requirements Engineering remote education" by Gretchen Torres de Macedo (UFAM), Awdren Fontão (UFMS), and Bruno Gadelha (UFAM). 🔗Full paper in: https://lnkd.in/dhaBsW5u Abstract: Teaching Requirements Engineering requires adopting pedagogical techniques to develop students' technical skills for identifying users' needs and designing software solutions. Additionally, since requirements engineering involves group work, students must cultivate social skills such as communication, empathy, and conflict resolution. In remote learning scenarios, developing these skills becomes more challenging due to limited interaction. To address these needs, this paper proposes adapting a project-based collaborative learning approach for remote education that combines Role-Play and Send-a-Problem learning techniques. In this approach, students collaborate on software projects in teams, assuming two roles: customers and software developers. We evaluated this approach during two cycles of Action Research, conducted remotely in two disciplines of a Software Engineering undergraduate course involving advanced and beginner students, respectively. In the advanced students' class, we observed that the methodology enhanced communication skills, analytical reasoning, conflict resolution, and empathy. To validate these results, we conducted a new study with beginning students, achieving positive outcomes despite the need for more support in team communication. As our primary contribution, we provide guidelines for implementing this collaborative learning approach online. Awdren Fontão Bruno Gadelha

External caches are often considered when the existing database cannot meet the required service-level agreement. Unfortunately, external caches are not as simple as they are made out to be. Felipe Cardeneti Mendes examines the risks associated with external caches and how teams can achieve a performance boost and cost savings with a single solution. https://ow.ly/YWMT50Skov5 #ScyllaDB #caching #database #NoSQL

How do you prioritize what to test? 🤔 It's time to ask some hard-hitting questions. 💡 In this video, Ana Catarina encourages us to consider whether A/B testing is truly the optimal choice in all scenarios. We should also zero in on research and user testing to find solutions. 📊🔍 If you're short on resources, determining where to focus efforts is crucial. ⏳ What are some other questions you should seek answers to before testing a hypothesis? 🤔 Watch her entire presentation in our Masters of Conversion series to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ggPbbsH5

Great talk by 🦁 Luciano Mammino about writing Lambda Functions in Rust. I strongly believe there is a good future for Rust, and it's good to see it working in Lambda too! Also I just learned Luciano and James Eastham are writing a book on it!

I know we all want to get to the good parts of the books that we’re reading, but the beginning is important. As someone who has been advocating for the importance of delivery in software development, this quote from Marty Cagan in Transformed got me excited: “Just to make this important point very clear, if each of your product teams is not releasing at least once every two weeks, then you will not be able to take care of your customers as you need to.” For most of us, while it’s important to understand what the Product Model is and the vision that is being cast, we could probably stop at page 32 for a few months while we go make the necessary investments in our delivery capabilities to enable the rest of what’s being spoken of here.

For the last couple of weeks or so I have been iterating over an #VsCode extension that highlights test smells for the javascript/typescript ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/dFm52hc9. Smelly catches the smells and highlights possible fixes for it right away in the code. This extension is one of the results of an ongoing research effort to navigate the intersection between the TDD practice and test smell generation, so expect more info and data coming soon. Further info is available in the GitHub repository: https://lnkd.in/dv3QPU-u the project is open and its code can be inspected :) Here goes some interesting links to navigate further: - Patterns that make TDD harder an ebook from practitioners for practitioners: https://lnkd.in/dDQxgmid - Research goals: https://lnkd.in/dBv-AneF - Exploring the Connection between the TDD Practice and Test Smells—A Systematic Literature Review: https://lnkd.in/d9CfANxz And finally this is what using smelly looks like, just open a test file and navigate it:
