海外TECH	DEV Community	How To Use DORA Engineering Metrics To Improve Your Dev Team	https://dev.to/linearb/how-to-use-dora-engineering-metrics-to-improve-your-dev-team-1hkc	How To Use DORA Engineering Metrics To Improve Your Dev TeamObjective data to measure software development is here and it s here to stay For a long time the notion of using such data was thought to not really be possible Thought leaders like Martin Fowler and Joel Spolsky basically said it couldn t be done Clearly it s a challenging task that frustrated software development managers everywhere Shoot I wrote an article way back when basically arguing that it is impossible to do Well I d continue to argue that it impossible to do But with the rise of tooling like git Jira and other project management tools it started becoming clear that the data is there to enable us to get a closer more data driven look at what is going on inside software development projects That data just had to be revealed And of course people have started doing so One of the most important and well known results of that was done by the DevOps Research and Assessment organization ーknown commonly as DORA They surveyed thousands of DevOps engineers and leaders over six years coming up with a set of four metrics that were considered critical to the success of software development projects The four DORA engineering metrics are Deployment FrequencyMean Lead Time for ChangesMean Time to Recovery MTTR Change Failure RateThe first two metrics ーDeployment Frequency and Mean Lead Time for Changes ーmeasure the velocity of a team MTTR and Change Failure rate are a measure of the quality and stability of a project All four metrics can be derived from mining the tools that you are currently using These four DORA engineering metrics are designed to allow software developers to align their work against the goals of the business They have become the standard way for CTOs and VPs of Engineering to get a high level overview of how their organizations are performing By keeping an eye on the DORA metrics and organizing their work around improving them development teams can ensure that they are doing the right things to move their projects and more importantly their business forward Of course understanding what the metrics actually measured and what they mean is necessary to make them useful In addition knowing the current state of these metrics is required for improving them as you move forward So let s take a look at these four key measures Deployment Frequency What is it Deployment Frequency measures the number of times that code is deployed into production It s usually reported in “Deployments Per Day Now production can mean different things to different customers For a SaaS company it normally means actually delivering code to the production platform used by actual customers For other companies it might mean “made a version available for use by customers Why it s importantIncreasing deployment frequency is an indication of team efficiency and confidence in their process A team that can deploy more frequently is moving work through their pipeline faster and being more efficient about all of their work products How is it calculated It tallies the total number of deployments an organization does in a single day As noted the definition of “deployment can vary between organizations This metric can be automated if a team has a Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery CI CD tool that provides an API into its activity How do you improve it If you wish to improve your deployment frequency you should invest in Improving automated test coverageIntegrating with CI CD toolsAutomating the release validation phase and release processReducing the error recovery time on production Mean Lead Time for Changes What is it Mean Lead Time for Changes is the average time it takes from code being committed to that code being released into production Some organizations begin tracking the time from the first commit of the project s code while others measure it beginning from merging the code to the main branch Many organizations roll Mean Lead Time for Changes into a metric called Cycle Time which is discussed below Why it s importantA lower Mean Lead Time for Changes means that your team is efficient in coding and deploying projects and are adding value to your product in a timely manner Attempting to lower the average incentivizes teams to properly divide the work to thoroughly review the code and to have a fast deployment How is it calculated Each project is measured from start to finish and an average of those times is calculated How do you improve it This metric can be improved by Adding automation to the deployment processEnsuring that the CI CD process is as efficient as possibleBreak projects into smaller and more manageable chunksCreate an efficient code review process Mean Time to Recovery MTTR What is it This metric measures the average time it takes the team to recover from a failure in the system “Failure can mean anything from a bug in production to the production system going down Why it s importantObviously down time is not good and the quicker a team can recover from it the better Keeping an eye on mean time to recovery will encourage the building of more robust systems and increased monitoring of those systems Quick recovery times are a reflection of the team s ability to diagnose problems and correct them Measuring mean time to recover can have the effect of making the team more careful and concerned about quality throughout the entire development process How is it calculated Normally this metric is tracked by measuring the average time between a production bug report being created in your system and that bug report being resolved Alternatively it can be calculated by measuring the time between the report being created and the fix being deployed to production How do you improve it MTTR can be made better by Building a CI CD system that quickly reports failureEnsure there is a process in place to take immediate action on failuresPrioritize recovery from failure over all other tasksImprove Deployment Time Change Failure Rate What is it Change Failure Rate measures how often a code change results in a failure in production Changes that result in a rollback in production failing or in production having a bug all contribute to this metric Why it s importantThis metric is important because all time spent dealing with failures is time not spent delivering new features and value to customers Obviously lowering the number of problems in your software is desirable How is it calculated Normally this metric is calculated by counting the number of times a deployment results in a failure and dividing by the number of total deployments to get an average number A lower average is better How do you improve it Change Failure Rate is improved when you Ensure all new code is covered by automated unit testsImprove automated testing as part of your continuous integration processDo thorough and complete code reviews to help prevent issues being introduced into production The Benefits of Tracking DORA Metrics Decision MakingConsistently tracking DORA metrics will enable you to make better decisions about where and how to improve your development process Doing so will reveal bottlenecks and enable you to focus attention on those places where the process may be stalled Trends can be identified and the quality of decisions about what was focused on can be validated DORA tracking can help focus both the development team and management on the things that will really drive value They allow you to make decisions based on data rather than merely a finger in the wind or a gut feeling Delivering ValueDORA measures the value that your team is delivering If your DORA metrics are favorable your team is delivering value to your customers and are maintaining the quality necessary not to be distracted from that focus And that s pretty much the bottom line for any business ーdelivering value to your customers Virtuous CycleWhen anything gets measured it will likely be gamed ーthat is people will change behavior to optimize that which is measured Many times this can have a negative distorting effect on what a development team doesDORA metrics can be gamed but the great thing is that you want them to be gamed You want your team working to optimize these metrics Gaming them results in good things Normally gaming a metric has a negative impact on teams but these metrics were carefully devised to do the exact opposite Since they highlight inefficiencies and wasted time gaming them will increase efficiency and reduce waste LinearB helps you measure and improve DORA engineering metricsDORA Metrics are important and LinearB allows them to be tracked easily We give you DORA metrics right out of the box that can be easily displayed and tracked A dashboard like this could be useful by giving senior members of your software development organization a higher level view of the DORA metrics for the organization With this simple view leaders can see at a glance how the team is doing and what mid course corrections might need to be made In addition to the actual DORA metrics themselves LinearB can track other metrics that can help improve your organization s performance Metrics like Pull Request Size Pull Request Review Depth and Pull Request Review Time can all be monitored and when improved will reduce Mean Lead Time for Changes and Deployment FrequencyTrack DORA engineering metrics in your own code repository Click here to get started free and see your Cycle Time drop Going above and beyondLinearB goes beyond the DORA metric of Mean Lead Time for Changes to provide Cycle Time Cycle Time is a powerful metric that measures how long it takes a given unit of code to progress from branch creation to deployment in production It s really a measure of how fast a given task or subtask gets delivered to end users And of course actually delivering functionality is the purpose of every development organization Cycle Time is divided into four subsections Coding Time ーNormally measured as the time between the first commit to a given branch and the moment a pull request is created for that branchPull Request Pickup Time ーThis is the time between a pull request is created and when the review for that pull request startsPull Request Review Time ーThe time between the pull request review starting and the code being mergedDeploy Time ーDeploy time is the span between the merging of the code and that code actually being deployed to production Improving Cycle Time has a number of benefits Closely tracking coding time encourages you to divide work into smaller more manageable chunks Cycle Time goes up if a given branch or project is big and takes a long time Instead it encourages smaller bites of workIt pushes the team to process pull requests in a timely manner It helps prevent languishing pull requests and pull requests that are too large to review effectively Teams that track deployment time are motivated to focus on improving and streamlining build and deployment processes Rising Cycle Times can be an early warning system for project difficulties If I had to pick one thing for a team to measure it would be Cycle Time WorkerB improves DORA MetricsIdle time is the time spent waiting for things to happen in your software development process ーpull requests sitting idle and unreviewed is a good example It is a big killer of two important DORA metrics Deployment Frequency and Mean Lead Time for Changes WorkerB is a feature provided by LinearB that can have a drastic positive effect on reducing idle time and thus improving your DORA metrics By notifying your team members about repository events it ensures that the team is immediately aware of the components of Cycle Time e g Pull Request Pickup Time and Pull Request Review Time and allows them to react in a more timely manner LinearB customers routinely report more that a reduction in CycleTime in their first four months of using WorkerB Measure for SuccessDORA Metrics are based on years of research into what really matters for software development teams Focusing on them will result in more value being delivered through your development pipeline More value

海外TECH	Engadget	'Call of Duty: Vanguard' first look: Taking the series back to WWII	https://www.engadget.com/call-of-duty-vanguard-november-5-174533819.html?src=rss	x Call of Duty Vanguard x first look Taking the series back to WWIIThere s a scene in s Wolfenstein The New Order nbsp where J a character inspired by Jimi Hendrix explains to the game s white protagonist BJ Blazkowicz why he s not fighting After Blazkowicz talks back J tells him quot You don t get it do you Before all this before the Germans before the war back home man you were the Nazis quot What I love about that scene is the way it complicates the easy narrative we so often tell ourselves about the Second World War The New Order understands World War II better than almost any other game inspired by the conflict Nazism then as now was never an ideology that only existed in Hitler s Germany And in internment camps across the US and Canada and cities like Dresden and Hiroshima the Allies committed countless injustices of their own It s that scene my mind returned to as Sledgehammer Games revealed Call of Duty Vanguard the next entry in Activision s long running first person shooter series during an online event last week Like s Call of Duty WWII the studio s previous project as lead developer on the franchise Vanguard takes the series back to where it all started the Second World War After talking about the studio s commitment to diversity and creating a safe space for all employees essentially repeating the same company line Activision Blizzard executives have been saying ever since California filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the publisher Sledgehammer studio head Aaron Halon introduced Vanguard director Josh Bridge and campaign director David Swenson Bridge told us how the studio came out of Call of Duty WWII feeling like it had only scratched the surface of the stories the conflict had to tell quot We see Vanguard as being rooted in but not beholden to history There is no revisionist history here quot he said a bullet point on his Powerpoint presentation reiterating the statement Sledgehammer Games ActivisionAfter showing the game s cinematic trailer and a snippet of gameplay Swenson talked about the game s story Like The New Order Vanguard uses an alternate reality of the war to tell its story but it appears a much less ambitious retelling on the surface In a return to the way Infinity Ward did things when the series first started Vanguard s campaign will feature four playable characters each loosely based on a different historical person In Polina Petrova Sledgehammer took inspiration from Lyudmila Pavlichenko a Soviet sharpshooter who was known as Lady Death for her confirmed kills the most of any female sniper in history Wade Jackson one of the other characters is based on Vernon L Micheel a US Navy pilot who bombed two Japanese aircraft carriers during the Battle of Midway Then there s Lucas Riggs He draws from Charles Upham the only soldier in World War II to earn two Victoria Cross medals Finally you have Arthur Kingsley His inspiration is Sidney Cornell a Black British paratrooper who earned a Distinguished Conduct Medal for his actions in Normandy To Sledgehammer s credit the studio enlisted the help of science fiction writer Tochi Onyebuchi to write Kingsley s character and cast Chike Okonkwo best known for his role as Will in The Birth of a Nation to give him his voice Sledgehammer Games ActivisionInitially those four find themselves in different theaters of the war but they re eventually brought together to take part in a fictional mission called Operation Phoenix The Nazis under the guidance of a character named Heinrich Freisinger have hatched a plan to survive the end of the war and it s up to the newly formed special forces team of Petrova Jackson Riggs and Kingsley to stop them Like the four protagonists Freisinger has a historical counterpart He s based on the infamous Gestapo chief Heinrich Müller Bridge said the studio sees the title as quot a filmic blockbuster with a contemporary lens on history quot The throughline that connects both the story and multiplayer components of the game is how the Second World War saw the birth of the modern idea of the special forces This is World War II reframed as an entry point into the expanded Call of Duty universe I won t say that s unexpected but after Sledgehammer tried to tell a more nuanced story about PTSD in CoD WW I had hoped it would set its sights even higher At the reveal event Sledgehammer spent far more time talking about Vanguard s story than letting the game speak for itself Of the single player campaign the developer only showed a brief snippet of an early level that features Kingsley taking part in Operation Tonga which saw British paratroopers land near the city of Caen during the Allied invasion of Normandy If you ve seen Band of Brothers you already know exactly how this segment plays out Sledgehammer Games ActivisionYou jump out of a plane as part of a pre scripted sequence in which you lose your rifle before landing on the ground After a series of quick time events your character finds himself in front of a field an objective marker telling the player to make their way to a windmill in the distance For part of the level you have to sneak your way through enemy lines Other than an unexpected moment toward the end of the clip nothing about what I saw struck me as something the franchise hasn t done before but the execution was still compelling True to the conditions Allied paratroopers found themselves in during the D Day invasion much of the mission takes place in suffocating fog and darkness That gave the level more of a sense of atmosphere than your typical CoD mission In particular the use of lighting was intentional in a way I hadn t seen from the series in a while the effect made more realistic by the work Sledgehammer and the other CoD studios did to update Modern Warfare s IW engine What also struck me about this sequence was the stolen KarK Kingsley used to dispatch his Nazi pursuers When he fired the bolt action rifle it let out a deafening blast and left enemies crumpled against the floor and walls There was more physicality to the weapon than the assault rifles that usually dominate the CoD metagame That quot down the barrel quot gameplay is something the studio said it spent a lot of the nearly four years since CoD WW perfecting Sledgehammer Games ActivisionIt s hard to say if the rest of the single player campaign adopts the more methodical pace to gunplay Sledgehammer showed off in the snippet I saw However I can state that multiplayer will feel familiar to current Black Ops Cold War and Warzone players What you will find is that Sledgehammer designed the maps to feature more destructibility and interactive elements A clip the studio shared showed off how you could shoot bookshelves tables and boarded up windows to open sightlines as a match progresses At launch Vanguard will feature multiplayer maps of which will support up to players for six on six matches Additionally Sledgehammer is bringing Gunsmith back a fan favorite feature that allows you to customize your weapons with different attachments and ammo types Naturally Treyarch s Zombies mode is making a comeback and it will connect to the lore established in Black Ops Cold War Oh and Raven Software is working on a Warzone map and update that will feature an all new anti cheat system Sledgehammer promised to share more information about the multiplayer component of Vanguard including details on a new mode called Champion Hill that the studio says will offer something new for players to experience in the coming weeks That will give Call of Duty fans time to see if Vanguard is worth another trip to World War II before the game nbsp lands on Xbox One Xbox Series X S PlayStation PS and PC via Battle net on November th	2021-08-19 17:45:33

海外TECH	Engadget	Galaxy Z Flip 3 review: Samsung's best foldable yet is still a tough sell	https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-3-review-price-specs-cameras-screen-170051882.html?src=rss	Galaxy Z Flip review Samsung x s best foldable yet is still a tough sellIn many ways the Galaxy Z Flip should be the first foldable for a mainstream audience It s basically a regular smartphone you can fold in half and it could appeal to the swaths of people who miss the satisfying snap of a flip phone Plus with a price drop the new Flip now costs about the same as an iPhone or Galaxy S flagship Samsung s latest foldable also features a larger external display than its predecessor making it more useful when closed and has water resistance for some peace of mind It s even got a faster screen than Apple and Google offer and nifty software that makes better use of the screen when you prop it up on a surface But the question remains even at a more reasonable is the Flip good enough to usher foldables into the mainstream or are they still a gimmick Design and durabilityOne of the most important factors in determining if the Flip is ready for daily use is durability Samsung used stronger aluminum for the Flip s frame refined its hinge and made the screen tougher with a new flexible PET protector I can t tell exactly how much more durable the Flip is compared to its predecessor but I have been taking more risks with it In fact I consider my placing the Flip and the Fold for that matter into my bag along with my keys laptop and DSLR the bravest thing I ve ever done during a review I m mostly worried because of a bad experience when I took the original Z Flip out for a day It vibrated off a table and cracked its corner I ve been fairly careful with the Flip but I ve avoided babying it and so far it s survived being tossed into a bag with various sharp objects While it s still prone to sliding around due to its glossy glass exterior it s yet to fall off anything I ve placed it on treadmills ellipticals window ledges and restaurant tables and I don t want to jinx it but so far my Flip is scratch free Does that mean it ll remain pristine a week a month or even a year from now Probably not But as someone who s cracked her fair share of phone screens I feel like the Flip is about as sturdy as most glass covered flagships David Imel for EngadgetThat is with one exception Its flexible internal screen is still more likely to break than others if for no reason other than you ll invariably end up pushing into some part of it to close the device I ve yet to damage the Flip s screen and I ve been careful not to push my thumb into the middle of the panel to close the phone but I ve been shutting it with some force Whether the durability is indeed improved is something that s hard to tell without months of testing or deliberately trying to damage the device so I might have to revisit this after some time Speaking of closing the phone Like its predecessor the Flip isn t easy to shut with one hand It can be done but the hinge is stiff and provides enough resistance to let it stay open at various angles Unless you have Dwayne Johnson s hands you ll probably need some leverage to open or close the Flip Oh and thanks to the IPX water resistance I was a lot less worried about leaving the Flip next to my sink when I washed my face and dripped all over it while reaching for the soap Besides improved durability and a larger external screen not much has changed between the new Flip and the last generation They weigh the same grams ounces and the Flip is a hair thicker Samsung s also offering a few new color options including my two favorites green and lavender My review unit is a boring cream off white though Phones in the same size and price range like the iPhone Pro Max and Galaxy S are slightly heavier and thicker but not by much Of course these devices are dust resistant and sport triple cameras while the Flip has just two The conventional flagships are also not as narrow But aside from the aspect ratio the Flip feels very much like a regular smartphone when unfolded Bonus It s more compact when folded in half which helps it fit into most of my pockets without peeking out It actually almost reminds me of a pager when closed Remember those A bigger more useful Cover DisplayThe greatest difference between the Flip and a typical smartphone is that you can close it which is not only a satisfying means of putting your phone away but also introduces a new way to interact with the device The inch external screen is four times larger than the previous model and can show up to four lines of notifications at once There are currently six widgets available for this window which Samsung calls the Cover Display To interact with this panel you ll have to first double tap on it then swipe vertically or horizontally to see your notifications or widgets respectively This was a little confusing initially as I didn t know I needed to tap the screen before swiping But after figuring it out I ve come to appreciate it because it prevents accidentally dismissing notifications and skipping songs on Spotify That s pretty helpful since I often unintentionally touch the Cover Display when closing the phone or picking it up Most of the time I leave the Flip closed until I need to reply to a message or when I start browsing my feeds It s certainly a lot less distracting to be able to put my phone aside and not have a long list of notifications that I can see from a distance I initially set all six widgets to appear on my Cover Display so scrolling sideways would bring up the weather media controls Samsung Pay Health Calendar and so on While I appreciated having all those options after a while it became clear three widgets is plenty ーthe endless swiping got tiring eventually The software is also a little buggy at the moment The alarms widget for example will randomly abandon its countdown if you pause and resume it David Imel for EngadgetAnother feature that sounds great in theory is using your Cover Display as a viewfinder With the larger panel you ll have more room to frame up your selfies on the Flip with the screen closed I used it to snap a picture with three staff members of my building and while we were able to squeeze everyone in the novelty wore off quickly The only time I can see preferring the outside screen as a viewfinder is if you need the sharper or wider rear cameras or when you re really in a hurry and can t spare the one or two seconds it takes to open the phone I like that Samsung gives us this option but even a selfie obsessed person like me was never in that much of a rush to snap a portrait Plus the photos taken this way end up in a strange squarish crop while those snapped using the main screen as a viewfinder are taller or wider Internal screen and Flex modeWhen you re back on the main screen aspect ratio is still somewhat of an issue The Flip s inch display runs at x which comes up to an uncommon format This didn t cause too many problems ーmost apps fit nicely on the screen ーbut every now and then something will overflow The pop up dialogs in Settlers of Catan for example disappear into the edges of the display and I can barely tap the buttons I need to move on David Imel for EngadgetFortunately I didn t encounter this on most of my frequently used apps but for now Samsung doesn t have a workaround to help ensure you can see everything on the Flex That s my main issue with the Flip s internal screen which is otherwise a lovely canvas for browsing Instagram and YouTube thanks to its flexible AMOLED panel and Hz refresh rate Images were vibrant with deep blacks and high contrast and the display never stuttered when I scrolled my feeds in a frenzy Oh I also didn t mind the crease in the middle ーyes it s noticeable and does cause some distortion but it doesn t get in the way of readability I also like how it felt beneath my thumb as I scrolled past it It s like stroking a soft naked tendon which is a lot better than it sounds Another update that makes the Flip a better multimedia device than before are its stereo speakers Now when you hold it up to watch a video you ll hear its audio from both ends It s a little too easy to cover the bottom speaker with your hand when holding the phone horizontally though David Imel for EngadgetSomething else the Flip offers that regular smartphones don t is a Flex mode that kicks in when you half fold the device This only works on some apps like Gallery Camera and YouTube where the screen is split in half to show your photo viewfinder or video on top and navigation controls or more info at the bottom When you set the Flip up on a table in Flex mode you can watch your show as if it were full screen on the top half while scrolling comments or suggested videos below I thought I d only find Flex mode useful with the Flip sitting on a table propped up like it has its own kickstand but it actually was more helpful in enabling one handed use Because the screen is so tall some elements are out of my thumb s reach Flex mode makes scrolling pictures in my gallery or snapping a picture much easier with one hand So far though only a handful of apps support this so Samsung will need to work harder to make more of them compatible CamerasThe Flip s dual megapixel cameras hold their own against the likes of the Pixel and iPhone Pro While Samsung Apple and Google all have minor differences in the color temperature of their photos they deliver similar quality and clarity in most situations The Flip s picture of a yummy bowl of noodles was just as bright and vibrant as those taken with the Pixel and iPhone though it s a little soft and failed to capture some detail on the ceramic surface David Imel for EngadgetPhotos the Flip shot at night are also similar to those from the competition ーyou d need to really scrutinize minor exposure and noise differences to tell them apart The pictures I snapped of a dog park and the city skyline at night all came out bright and colorful though Google delivered a better closeup of the New York City nightscape thanks to its superior processing software The selfies captured by the Flip s megapixel camera were also bright and sharp And based on an informal poll on my Instagram the majority of my followers preferred a portrait shot by the Flip to the Pixel Living the foldable life In use and batteryWith a Snapdragon processor and GB of RAM the Flip performed smoothly during my testing I haven t encountered many delays when using the main screen to message my friends post to Twitter and browse websites It didn t let up even as I recorded the screen while using the camera to capture footage of my friends trying to perform TikTok dances either Occasionally I felt like websites were scrolling more slowly than I was used to and there are still some small software bugs like the Cover Display s alarm widget that make the Flip feel like it needs a bit more polish But aside from these minor gripes and the fact that you can fold it this phone feels very similar to its Samsung siblings That is until we consider battery life The Flip never made it through a full day before needing a charge and that runtime dropped when I enabled the Always On Display for the outer screen On our video rundown test the Flip only clocked hours and minutes which is shorter than most flagships I ve tested recently The S s mAh cell typically stuck around for a day and a half while the latest Pixels and iPhones easily outlast the Flip Despite offering a larger Cover Display and a higher refresh rate on its main panel the Flip s mAh battery is the same size as its predecessor which might explain its disappointing endurance David Imel for EngadgetWrap upAfter spending some time with the Flip in the real world I ve come to realize a few things I like being able to fold a phone put it away and focus on work or living in the moment But I can also turn a regular phone face down to do that I enjoy the nostalgia and novelty of closing the Flip when I m mad at a caller or an app too In general the satisfaction and space savings from being able to fold a phone in half are not worth paying a premium for The good news is that with the Flip Samsung isn t charging a hefty premium or making many compromises Battery life is an unfortunate victim of the Flip s larger external screen but it s at least not so short that you ll need to charge it twice a day Ultimately the Flip is proof that Samsung can deliver a good phone with a foldable display at a relatively reasonable price It s also a satisfying upgrade from its predecessor thanks to its water resistance and bigger outside screen The most important question now is Who should buy this If you pride yourself on being an early adopter and want to get on the foldables bandwagon before they become more common that might be you The Flip is a device capable of being a daily driver for those nostalgic or curious enough to buy one But for a more mainstream audience there simply aren t enough benefits yet nbsp The Z Flip is a satisfying upgrade from the original thanks to water resistance and a larger more useful Cover Display Its starting price puts it in the same class as flagships from Apple Google and Samsung itself too While it mostly behaves like a regular modern smartphone that you can fold in half the Flip is held back by battery life and
