Case studies
spotlight value of using
Gradle Enterprise to
provide CI build and
test
observability
|
Gradle Enterprise
automatically observes,
records, and reports details
about your CI builds. This
information provides the
basis for generating
performance and
failure-related insights and
developing metrics to make
CI pipelines more efficient.
This automation allows CI
and DevOps Engineers to
focus on sustained
improvement instead of tech
support. In a new article,
Gradle field CTO, Justin
Reock defines some of those
key CI metrics and explores
real-world examples of
Gradle Enterprise helping
teams to optimize CI
performance and failure
recovery using those
metrics.

Development
Efficiency at the
Swedish Pensions
Agency
|
By software
engineer, Jörgen
Andersson.
At
Pensionsmyndigheten (Swedish
Pensions Agency) we have
developed a model to define
our understanding of the
words "Development
Efficiency". The purpose of
the model is to create a
shared picture and a shared
language that makes it
easier to talk about how we
can improve the powers and
capabilities of the
team/group or entire
organization or to be more
succinct: create more value
for your investment in
people.
To help you start the
discussion about Development
Efficiency in your
group/team we have created
some presentation material
for a group exercise called
“Reason about Development
Efficiency”. The exercise
takes about 75 minutes.

JFokus Presentation
On-Demand: “Dependency
management? Model
it!”
|
Dependency management hell
affects many teams–the
larger the project and its
dependency graph, the harder
it is to maintain. In this
video presentation from
JFokus 2023, Louis Jacomet
(Senior Lead Software
Engineer at Gradle Inc.)
looks into this problem, and
how Gradle helps reduce this
headache. Specifically, it
accomplishes this using a
metadata format that enables
a detailed modeling of
software components built
around multiple files,
providing multiple variants,
and setting different
constraints on their
dependencies.
