Productivity Engineering is fast becoming an integral part of the development & release process in the Software Engineering world today. The benefits of implementing Productivity Engineering significantly outweigh the cost and frustration of inactivity in this space.
In this session, we will discuss the importance of productivity engineering and why Android developers & teams should embrace productivity engineering as part of their development lifecycle.
We will cover topics on how to make a compelling case for productivity engineering to your team and manager using data, we will also cover tips to improve your build, work with build scans to quickly find build problems & collaborate with team members to resolve them, and build caching to significantly speed-up builds.
I will take you through a real-life example of using Gradle Enterprise to diagnose builds, improve build experience, and make a business case for a focus on Productivity Engineering.
You will leave this talk with a better understanding and appreciation for Productivity Engineering. You will also learn the current tips & tools on how to improve your android builds and the value proposition of Gradle Enterprise to make data-driven decisions to continuously improve your build process and developer productivity.
