CP-DCB - 3 day Workshop on Continuous Build

CP-DCB stands for “Certified Professional – DevOps Continuous Builds” certification prepared and honored by “Agile Testing Alliance”.

The course focuses strongly on development skills and the creation of infrastructure for continuous building of software artifacts. Both JVM and native environments are used on the course as part of exercises in the course, but expertise is not required in either. The aim of the course is to equip the attendee with the knowledge of how to set up continuous build environments for a wide range of development scenarios, rather than teaching them to be experts in development on those platforms.

Pre-requisites:

Anyone having more than 1 year of development or testing experience is eligible for CP-DCB. Alternatively if you have already done CP-DOF then you automatically qualify for this course.

Training Objectives:

1. Setup CI environments for JVM projects.

2. Setup CI environments for native projects.

3. Avoid manual installation of tools on CI servers.

4. Automate instantiation of virtual images.

5. Automate instantiation  of containers.

6. Automate publication of artifacts to repositories.

7. Have CI create test and quality reports with baseline triggers.

8. Track stability and quality metrics.

This hands-on training covers the continuous build concepts using tools such as Git, Jenkins, Gradle, Docker, Artifactory, Conan and Packer

Trainer Details

Schalk Cronjé's experience in the software industry spans three decades and has spoken and taught on various software delivery techniques in Europe, USA, India and South Africa.

He has been an early adopter of test-driven design and development at all levels of testing and has applied TDD in many programming languages and on various platforms. One specific library he can recall is still in daily usage and is used in scanning millions of emails world-wide, yet the customer defect rate is less than one per year, all which can be attributed to TDD. He has been responsible for many a complex product roll-outs where continuous integration and continuous deployment have been the key. He does not consider TDD & DevOps to be a useful technique, but the absolute key to competitive and effective delivery in this age of globalization.

He is the creator of many open-source projects and contributor to a number of other projects. He serves on the steering committee of the Agile Testing Alliance and is a board member of DevOps++ Alliance in Europe. He holds two engineering degrees and an MBA in technology management. He lives and works from the small Principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees mountains.
