Taking dependency management to the next level with call graphs!

Software dependencies can be viewed as graph that only get bigger as software evolved. This lead to multiple challenging situations related to security, quality, licensing and more. Today tools are great but more accurate tools such as FASTEN are under development. Join me to learn how the current dependency management tool are evolving to cope with the growing complexity of software development.

Automated testing of OpenAPI-described RESTful microservices utilizing open source tools

Michael Siemaszko (Self-employed)

Surprisingly, even though RESTful microservices are everywhere nowadays, open source tools for automated testing of such hardly exist.

How about tools which can consume the OpenAPI (Swagger) description of REST APIs and generate tests, including test data, based on this information? Such automated testing nirvana truly exists!

Programming for Accessibility with the Eclipse IDE

Rory Preddy (Microsoft Corp.)

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”.

In the realm of testing, the code coverage metrics is the most often talked about. However, it doesn’t mean that the test has been useful or even that an assert has been coded. Mutation testing is a strategy to make sure that the test code is relevant.

Release engineering at Eclipse Platform Project

Sravan Kumar Lakkimsetti (IBM)

Eclipse Platform project is the foundation layer or the bottom of the pyramid in the Eclipse SDK product structure giving this a dimension of extreme reliability. New machine specific and operating specific advancements and features add another facet of technical challenges. Dwindling resources adds another seemingly non-technical dimension to the on-time delivery aspect of the product.

Constant automation mechanisms that are well tested are the way forward to ensure a continuous, reliable pipeline mechanism that delivers as per the plan on-time, every time.

How to Test Your Parser Easily Using a Use-Case Test Engine

Andrei Temnikov (CA Technologies)

Are you working on LSP implementation? Maintaining a language support plugin? Or even creating your own compiler? Then quality is of paramount importance. The concept of an extendable and straightforward use-case test engine allows you to provide code examples along with their expected results, use them in test-driven development for the parsers, and then automate the syntax and semantic output checks. It uses the magic of domain-specific languages and simplifies defining the use-cases for your parser.
