Solving real problems without reading code

Developers are data scientists. Or at least, they should be.

Some 50% of the development time is typically spent on figuring out the system in order to figure out what to do next. In other words, software engineering is primarily a decision making business. Add to that the fact that often systems contain millions of lines of code and even more data, and you get an environment in which decisions have to be made quickly about lots of ever moving data.

Yet, too often, developers drill into the see of data manually with only rudimentary tool support. Yes, rudimentary. The syntax highlighting and basic code navigation are nice, but they only count when looking into fine details. This approach does not scale for understanding larger pieces and it should not perpetuate.

This might sound as if it is not for everyone, but consider this: when a developer sets out to figure out something in a database with million rows, she will write a query first; yet, when the same developer sets out to figure out something in a system with a million lines of code, she will start reading. Why are these similar problems approached so differently: one time tool-based and one time through manual inspection? The root problem does not come from the basic skills. They exist already. The main problem is the perception of what software engineering is, and of what engineering tools should be made of. 

In this talk, we show live examples of how software engineering decisions can be made quickly and accurately by building custom analysis tools that enable browsing, visualizing or measuring code and data. Once this door is open you will notice how software development changes. Dramatically.

One of the most typical web application security vulnerabilities Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) which could be nightmare for Developers and simply paradise for Attackers.

How they are important? What should we keep in mind? How could we prevent this to some extend as Developer? How Attackers proceed? Many mores.. (with small coding and demos if possible)

There are many static analysis tools for ABAP code. These are used in some cases, but for most developers their usage appears quite cumbersome, e.g. due to many false positives among the results. So, these tools are hardly applied or only with a minimal rule set - what does not result in an enduring improvement of the code quality.

For other program languages clone detection, architecture conformance checks and other static analysis are widely used.  What makes static analysis tools valuable for some teams but assumingly useless of the most others?

The reasons are manifold, but - interestingly - the same in most teams. This talk presents lessons learned and best practices from many years of practical experience. We state tangible recommendations and show specific examples with the tool Teamscale.

Since its introduction in early 2014, SAP Simple Finance has caused much excitement across a variety of industries. However, many decision makers and SAP users still aren't sure about how the new SAP Business Suite 4 on HANA (S/4HANA) will look like and especially what the related business benefits and changes would be.

In this talk, I would like to give you a short overview on S/4HANA from a business perspective, discussing new functions, business benefits and future directions.

impact on Software Architecture

In the Big Data Innovation Lab, academia and industry co-create future business systems with the objective to explore and understand the innovative potential of Big Data.

Quality Management in processing?!

Markus Theilen (EWE AG) speaks about the operation of the Virtual Forge Code Profiler in the development of a grown application area: What effort goes along with a QM and what are the benefits for the developers in daily work?

PPT and demo

Of course we would like to have robust automated tests that entirely cover our application. But what if this is not the case, and we must manually carry out tests (at least for a certain time)?

For long-lived software, failures usually occur in areas with high amounts of change. It is therefore a good idea to especially test these modified areas. Still, our research shows that large amounts of modified code get into production untested, causing most of the field errors.

In the talk, we present Test Gap analysis, an approach combining static and dynamic analysis methods to identify changed but untested code. Test Gap analysis brings transparency into quality assurance and helps to allocate testing efforts and to synchronize cooperation between developers and testers. We report on our experience from several years of application in industry---both in ABAP and SAP BW---and show concrete examples in the tool.
