Gradle: Pushing automation to the limits

About this Presentation

Effective companies and teams do more with less, and automation is a vital ingredient to this. As developers we are accustomed to the idea of build automation through build & continuous integration systems that compile, test & deploy our software. However, the production of software is typically only one of the concerns of a team or company. There are many auxiliary processes that can equally benefit from the rigour, repeatability and cheap labour of automation.

Gradleware - the company behind the Gradle build automation tool - has automation in its DNA, and applies it to everything that it does. In this session, we'll discuss and showcase different examples of the kind of automation the team @ Gradleware have developed to support the development of Gradle and its documentation, the online presence, user support, business processes and other aspects. The ideas discussed will invigorate participants to see new opportunities for automation in their endeavours.
