Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

4. WHAT IS AN ALGORITHM?
An algorithm is a set of rules for carrying out calculation
either by hand or on a machine.
An algorithm is a finite step-by-step procedure to
achieve a required result.
An algorithm is a sequence of computational steps that
transform the input into the output.
An algorithm is a sequence of operations performed on
data that have to be organized in data structures.
An algorithm is an abstraction of a program to be
executed on a physical machine (model of
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
5. WHAT IS AN ALGORITHM?
An algorithmis a sequence of unambiguous
instructions for solving a problem, i.e., for obtaining
a required output for any legitimate input in a finite
amount of time.
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
6. WHAT IS AN ALGORITHM?
Instructor: Sadia Arshid

“computer”input output
7. ALGORITHM
• Problem
• problem instance and solution
• Sort list of n numbers in ascending order
• Determine whether x is in list of n numbers
• Algorithm is a general solution which solves all
instances of a problem.
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
8. • Generality
• Finiteness
• Non-ambiguity
• Efficiency
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
What properties an algorithm should have ?
9. • The algorithm applies to all instances of input data not only
for particular instances
Example:
Let’s consider the problem of increasingly sorting a
sequence of values.
For instance:
(2,1,4,3,5) (1,2,3,4,5)
input data result
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
Generality
10. Method:
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
Generality (cont’d)

1 2 4 3 5
1 2 4 3 5
1 2 3 4 5
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
Description:
- compare the first two
elements:
if there are not in the desired
order swap them
- compare the second and the
third element and do the same
…..
- continue until the last two
elements were compared
The sequence has been ordered
11. GENERALITY (CONT’D)
• Is this algorithm a general one ? I meant, does it
assure the ordering of ANY sequence of values ?
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
• Answer: NO
Counterexample:
3 2 1 4 5
2 3 1 4 5
2 1 3 4 5
2 1 3 4 5
In this case the method doesn’t work, it isn’t a general sorting
algorithm
12. FINITENESS
• An algorithm have to terminate, i.e. to stop after a finite
number of steps
Example
Step1: Assign 1 to x;
Step2: Increase x by 2;
Step3: If x=10 then STOP;
else GO TO Step 2
How does this algorithm work ?
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
13. FINITENESS (CONT’D)
How does this algorithm work and what does it produce?
Step1: Assign 1 to x;
Step2: Increase x by 2;
Step3: If x=10
then STOP;
else Print x; GO TO Step 2;
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
x=1
x=3 x=5 x=7 x=9 x=11
The algorithm generates odd numbers but it never stops !
14. FINITENESS (CONT’D)
The algorithm which generate all odd naturals smaller
than 10:
Step1: Assign 1 to x;
Step2: Increase x by 2;
Step3: If x>=10
then STOP;
else Print x; GO TO Step 2
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
15. NON-AMBIGUITY
The operations in an algorithm must be rigorously specified:
• At the execution of each step one have to know exactly which is the
next step which will be executed
Example:
Step 1: Set x to value 0
Step 2: Either increment x with 1 or decrement x with 1
Step 3: If x∈[-2,2] then go to Step 2; else Stop.
As long as does not exist a criterion by which one can decide if
x is incremented or decremented, the sequence above cannot be
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
16. NON-AMBIGUITY (CONT’D)
Let’s modify the previous algorithm as follows:
Step 1: Set x to value 0
Step 2: Flip a coin
Step 3: If one obtains head
then increment x with 1
else decrement x with 1
Step 3: If x∈[-2,2] then go to Step 2, else Stop.
• This time the algorithm can be executed but … different executions can be
different
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
17. EFFICIENCY
• The need to design efficient algorithms
• What is efficiency?
• Example
• Sequential search Vs. Binary Search
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
18. ALGORITHM ANALYSIS
• How to analyze an algorithm?
• Predicting the resources that the algorithm requires.
• Memory
• Communications Bandwidth
• Logic gates etc
• Most important is Computational Time
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
19. ALGORITHM ANALYSIS
• Important thing before analysis
• Model of the machine upon which the algorithms is
executed.
• Random Access Machine (RAM) (Sequential)
• Running Time: No. of primitive operations or
“steps executed”.Instructor: Sadia Arshid
20. RUNNING TIME
Most algorithms transform
input objects into output
objects.
The running time of an
algorithm typically grows
with the input size.
Average case time is often
difficult to determine.
We focus on the worst
case running time.
Easier to analyze
Crucial to applications such
as games, finance and

22. LIMITATIONS OF EXPERIMENTS
• It is necessary to implement the algorithm, which may
be difficult
• Results may not be indicative of the running time on
other inputs not included in the experiment.
• In order to compare two algorithms, the same hardware
and software environments must be used
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
23. THEORETICAL ANALYSIS
• Uses a high-level description of the algorithm instead
of an implementation
• Characterizes running time as a function of the input
size, n.
• Takes into account all possible inputs
• Allows us to evaluate the speed of an algorithm
independent of the hardware/software environment
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
24. ALGORITHM ANALYSIS
• Running Time
• We need a measure that is independent of computer,
programming language and the programmer.
• Concept of basic operation
• In sorting comparison is a basic operation.
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
25. ALGORITHM ANALYSIS
• How much time each construct / keyword of a
pseudo code takes to execute. Assume it takes ti

• Sum / Add up the execution time of all the
constructs / keywords. if there are m constructs

27. ALGORITHM ANALYSIS
• What are the constructs / Keywords.
• Time for each construct
• Total Time
• Total time as a function of input size
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
29. ALGORITHM ANALYSIS
Sequence Statements: Just add the running time of the
statements
If-Then-Else: if (condition) S1 else S2
Running time of the test plus the larger of the running times
of S1 and S2.
Iteration is at most the running time of the statements
inside the loop, including the times the number of
iterations.
Nested Loops: Analyze these inside out. The total Running
time of a statement inside a group of nested loops is the
running time of the statement multiplied by the product of
the size of all the loops.
Function Calls: Analyzing from inside to out. If there
are function calls, these must be analyzed first.
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
30. EXAMPLE
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
Algorithm arrayMax(A, n)
Input array A of n integers
Output maximum element of A
currentMax ← A[0]
for i ← 1 to n − 1 do
if A[i] > currentMax then
currentMax ← A[i]
return currentMax
Example: find max element of
an array
31. COUNTING PRIMITIVE
OPERATIONS
By inspecting the pseudocode, we can determine the
maximum number of primitive operations executed by an
algorithm, as a function of the input size
AlgorithmarrayMax(A, n) # operations
currentMax ← A[0] 2
fori ← 1 to n − 1 do 1 + n
if A[i] > currentMax then 2(n − 1)
currentMax ← A[i] 2(n − 1)
{ increment counter i } 2(n − 1)
return currentMax 1
Total 7n − 2
Instructor: Sadia Arshid
32. ESTIMATING RUNNING TIME
• Algorithm arrayMax executes 7n− 2 primitive operations in the worst
case.
• This notation is complex to use. To simplify it we will be using order of
growth that is dominating term of expression; which is n (will be
discuss in detail later)
• Instead of computing running time of every statement of the algorithm
we can further simplify it by calculating running time of basic
operation only(Time Complexity) (will be discuss in detail later)
• In This example
• basic operation is comparison
• Executed n-1 number of times
• Order of growth is n
• Same as order of growth of computing running time of every statement.Instructor: Sadia Arshid
