ApacheCon 2016

In this time of rapidly growing software projects and software capabilities, where it is expected for “software to eat the world,” there is still a huge challenge going from source code to a tested, fully functional release. This is the “last mile problem,” ensuring that vision and coding become real, deployable software. To help address this problem, members of the extended Apache Hadoop/”big data” ecosystem have joined forces to create tools that reduce the burden of pre-commit testing, release note compilation and interface documentation. In this talk, Allen Wittenauer, a PMC member of the Apache Yetus project, will discuss the various components that make up the Yetus toolset, as well as how Apache Hadoop and other projects are using Apache Yetus to improve release quality.
