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.
