Developer Productivity Engineering - The Next Big Thing in SW Development

Explore the emerging practice of Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE) in this 43-minute conference talk by Etienne Studer, SVP of Engineering at Gradle Enterprise. Discover how DPE addresses friction in the development and test process, focusing on areas beyond the scope of DevOps. Learn about acceleration technologies for faster feedback cycles, data analytics for root cause analysis and problem prevention, and the costs associated with low productivity environments. Gain insights into the importance of early error detection, including handling flaky tests, and understand how to establish DPE as a respected discipline within software development. Through examples from Java projects using Maven or Gradle build tools, acquire practical knowledge to enhance developer productivity and streamline software development processes.
