At ThoughtWorks, we regularly use Pair Programming. We find it's a rarely used practice, in part due to lack of knowledge in how to do it well and because its benefits are not immediately obvious. Birgitta Böckeler and Nina Siessegger put together an excellent conference talk where they pulled together the techniques we've learned, the benefits we've found, and the challenges we've faced.

Get a basic understanding of serverless, then go deeper with recommended resources. Serverless is a trend in computing that decouples the execution of code, such as in web applications, from the need to maintain servers to run that code. The operational overhead to create, provision, and care for applications running on servers (in the traditional sense) is significant.

While this is an effective organizational approach, it does have its downsides. One of these is handling programs that require coordinating across multiple product teams. Luiza Nunes and James Lewis share their experiences dealing with this situation, outlining the kinds of problems they see and the practices they've found to make it work.

Then you get to sit back and watch stuff zip around the screen. The benefit: Testers get to spend time doing exploratory testing or partake in other valuable testing pursuits because their routine testing now takes minutes, right?

In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.
