IN 2012Scrum sprints ended by a releaseSubversion : trunk + 1 maintenance branchBuild : 15min, Selenium in a grid: 200 in 1hTesting phase : 4-6 days, Deployment in 2hCommit to Prod : from 5d to 4 weeks

IN 2014Lean KanbanDaily releasesGIT : master + feature branchesBuild : 3' (was 15') + Selenium : 10' (was 1h)Release : 5min + 30min monitoringCommit to Prod : coding time + 1 day

A FEW THINGS WE READ

AGILE MANIFESTOPRINCIPLE 3

"Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery ofvaluable software."

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT FLOWDON REINERTSEN

Work with a flowManage Queues of workLead Time more than work durationReduce per release costs

CONTINUOUS DELIVERYJEZ HUMBLE, DAVID FARLEY

1. Fast builds2. Pre-Commit check (all tests ever ok)3. Simple and fast automated deployments4. Production monitoring and alerting5. Root Cause Analysis

DELIVER EARLY, DELIVER OFTEN

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATIONIMPACTS THE CODEBASE

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATIONBRANCHING MODEL

Trunk + Release branchTrunk based (all commits to master + toggle)Feature Branching + Merge when ready

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION

Deliver ...when it's ready

MANAGING CONFLICTS

Avoid conflicts vs Resolve conflicts

MANAGING CONFLICTS

A LOT OF OPTIONS

Remove the conflicting branch (put aside, comeback later)Find a way to make it mergeMerge branches in conflict (resolve the conflict)Merge in master (+ merge everywhere)

Merge is the worst case (default in trunk based development)

30 BRANCHES AT WORK !

EXCEPTIONS TO THE BRANCHING MODELFeature togglesBig refactorings

FEATURE TOGGLE

When ?

Lots of conflictsLong term branch

BIG REFACTORINGSToo many conflictsLong term task

Special treatmentBlocks the release

THANK YOU TOArnaud: let's see if branching really fails (octopus)Mehdi: I bet it won't work (bet accepted !)Matthieu: Perceptual Diff ? ok let's tryThomas: Docker+RamFS for the Selenium Grid (1h -> 10min)Andreï/Julien: Fluent Selenium Page Object generationEmmanuel: Ok for some bugs in production, but fix them fastGilles: Go, go, go !And all the devteam to jump in deep end so easily
