Area of Expertise
Becoming and Staying a Productive Developer with Build Scans, Build Validation Scripts and Gradle
We will start by discussing some of the top Gradle issues that affect the productivity of Android developers. We will cover build cache misses and configuration cache issues as well as how to debug and solve them with various tools such as with the free Build Scan service, Android Studio debugger and also with Gradle Enterprise.
We will then demonstrate combining the powerful Build Validation Scripts with automation and notifications to systematically surface new build cache misses and to keep them from reappearing once they have been fixed.
We will close by diving into the just released Artifact Transform insights in the free Build Scan tool. This is one of the most commonly requested features by Android developers. We will also close off by showing how you can use the new Tests API in Gradle Enterprise to automate your flaky test workflows.
Strategies to make builds cacheable and keep them cacheable
We will describe strategies and tooling to make builds cacheable and how to catch regressions in cacheability once the builds have been optimized. We will also propose ways to incrementally introduce build caching company-wide across many projects.
DevProd for CI maintainers
Approaches and techniques to increase the productivity and impact of CI maintainers by making CI more observable, reducing build queues, making builds faster and more reliable, and enabling developers to be more self-serving.
Automated detection and reporting of build cache misses
We will show how the continuous detection and reporting of build cache misses can be automated in CI via build validation scripts and how the surfaced build cache misses can be investigated via comparison of build scans. In addition, we will demonstrate how the automated execution of build caching experiments allow for a fair interpretation of build trends, taking into account project growth and changes in the cacheability of tasks and goals in the build.
