"In this presentation, we'll share our journey of evolving a demo version of the CI/CD pipeline for our CICS Banking Sample Application into a production-ready solution. We’ll explore the challenges, solutions, and benefits of automating our build, test, and release processes.
Key topics include:
Providing detail around the CICS Banking Sample Application, including how it works, and how to install it
The importance of CI/CD in enhancing efficiency, reducing errors, and speeding up delivery.
Our step-by-step process of developing a CI/CD pipeline, from demo to production, including tools used and lessons learned.
Automating build, test (unit, integration, and end-to-end), and release management.
The benefits we've gained, such as reduced manual intervention and improved software quality.
This talk provides valuable insights for DevOps engineers, application developers, and anyone interested in modern software practices. Join us to learn how we streamlined our development process and improved the reliability of our banking application."

Hi, I’m Justin, a 21-year-old software developer intern at IBM, currently studying computer science at Nottingham Trent University. I’m passionate about software development, particularly in how automation and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) can transform development processes.
As part of my internship at IBM, I’ve had the opportunity to work on the CICS Banking Sample Application, where I played a key role in evolving a demo version of the CI/CD pipeline into a production-ready solution. Throughout this journey, I’ve gained firsthand experience in automating build, test, and release processes, and I’m excited to share the challenges we faced, the solutions we implemented, and the benefits we’ve seen in streamlining our development workflow.
In this talk, I’ll take you through our CI/CD journey, detailing how we automated testing, improved software quality, and sped up delivery. I’ll also dive into the tools we used and share the lessons learned that I believe will be helpful to anyone in the DevOps and software development fields.
I’m thrilled to share my experience and insights with you, especially for those looking to improve the reliability and efficiency of their own development processes.
Infrastructure developer for the CICS Customer in Production team and tech lead for the CICS department’s adoption of Galasa. I have been working on transforming the CiP team by modernising our DevOps pipeline and introducing CI/CD practices.
