Maximize Developer Productivity with Gradle Enterprise

In this complimentary workshop offered to you by Gradle, we will be
discussing “Developer Productivity Engineering” (DPE).

If you are not already familiar with DPE, it is a new software
development discipline that uses data analytics and acceleration
technologies to speed up the critical software development
processes—from builds to testing to CI—and make them more efficient.

In this hands-on training with labs we will describe DPE processes and
best practices in action—using examples from Java projects that rely
on Maven or Gradle build tools.

At a high level you will learn how to:

• Leverage build and test acceleration technologies like build
  caching and distributed testing to instantly speed up feedback
  cycles as much as 90%.
• Cut debugging and troubleshooting time in half using data
  analytics to rapidly identify incident root causes and better
  manage avoidable failures like flaky tests.
• Continuously improve performance and guard against regressions
  through metric, KPI and trend observability.

More specifically, this training will cover how to:

• Accelerate debugging and root cause analysis leveraging “build
  scans”
• Achieve significant reductions in local and remote build times using
  “build caches”
• Avoid performance regressions and continuously
  improve toolchain reliability with performance management “analytics”
• Detect, prioritize and eliminate the most damaging flaky tests
  utilizing a “test dashboard” - Integrate with Git/Jenkins

The end-result of pursuing DPE excellence will be a transformative and
highly satisfying developer experience.

Audience

Gradle and Maven build tool users interested in speeding up builds are
encouraged to attend the training.
