The Rituals of Iterations and Tests

Fix Tech Debt With Virtuous Cycles

“…You might think that what distinguishes this from older processes is the addition of testing, which became mainstream in the early 2000s, but it is instead the radical idea that such a short checklist might possibly work. 1 A few decades of experience show that this short checklist works, but there's a catch. It works in the same sense that doctors can perform operations without washing their hands.…”

“…Tech debt arises from what teams do each day-and more importantly, what they don't do. 1 If current team practices create tech debt, then different practices can avoid or repair it. My teams have done exactly that by using virtuous cycles.…”

Industrial Image Enhancement Method Based on Cloud Edge Fusion

“…(Step 5) Calculate the selection probability p i of the solution according to formula (31), and follow the bee with greedy algorithm: (Step 10) Determine whether the termination condition is met, and preset the maximum number of iteration [23][24][25] cycles of the simulation simulator [26] (Step 11) If it is satisfied, the optimal resource scheduling scheme will be output. If it is not satisfied, it turns to step 4…”

Garbage Collect Your Technical Debt

“…In theory, waterfall could avoid that distortion, but, in practice, it introduces other design distortions by peering far into a foggy future. 6 Software processes have a dominant decomposition: either a stream of features or the system's design. Today, most teams focus on a stream of features, and it follows naturally that those teams rely primarily, or even exclusively, on tech debt cleanup.…”
