The document discusses how the magazine cover, contents page, and double page spread were designed to be conventional for the rock music genre. Key aspects that were designed conventionally included the layout, colors, images, fonts, and elements included on each page. Comparisons are made to established rock magazine Kerrang to demonstrate how the design matches conventions from that and other rock magazines. The goal was to create a magazine that would feel familiar and appealing to the target rock music audience.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).

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:
The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

1 conventions – my magazine
1.
2. The layout of my magazine is conventional, I
have made my magazine follow the route of
the eye which is conventional for any
magazine not just rock magazines. I have
the masthead in the top left with the main
image in the middle with the main cover
story over the main image.
I have used conventional colours for my
magazine cover. I chose my colours from my
audience research where I found that
people wanted to see black, white, red and
yellow.
I have put a competition I my
magazine as I have found this to
be very common in all types of
magazines including rock.
I have put the cover stories
and other information around
the outside of the main image
like it is on most magazine
covers.
The images I have used are also
conventional. I didn’t want them
to be too happy and jolly because
that would not be conventional for
the genre. This is why the only smile
from the images is a little one in the
main image. The costume I have
used is very conventional as they
are mostly dark colours like black
and grey, and also some white.
The props in my images are also
conventional, they include drum
sticks and a guitar.
The fonts I have used are
conventional for the genre. I
have used bold san serif
fonts that are clear and
easy to read. My masthead
is a font that looks broken
up, this connotes anger and
violence which is
conventional for the genre,
it is also similar to Kerrang’s
masthead
At the bottom of the cover I have put a list
of the bands and artists that will feature in
my magazine. This is conventional for rock
magazines and I have seen it in man
different magazines such as Kerrang.
3. The images that I have used for my contents
page are conventional. The main image on
my contents page is one of the featured artists
‘Bessie Cruz’ singing into a microphone, and
he is wearing a black T shirt, this is conventional
for the genre. The image on the right is
conventional as it is very dark and serious.
The fonts I have used some of
the same fonts on my
contents page as I did on my
cover. This includes the font
for ‘Contents’ and for ‘in this
weeks Rockit!’. However the
rest of the font on the page is
different. I have used Franklin
Gothic as I feel it is
conventional for the genre, it
is san serif and very easy to
read.
The layout of my contents
page is similar to that of
many Kerrang contents
pages. This includes the spit
page that I have used with
the contents of the
magazine appearing at the
bottom. Also I have added a
subscription to my contents
page which is conventional
for magazines.
I have used the same colours for
my contents page as I have for
my magazine cover. The
difference is the way I have used
them. I have used a white
background with black and
yellow on the top half. And a
black background with white
and red. These are conventional
colours for the rock genre and
they look good.
I have included a editor’s
message to my contents
page as this is conventional.
Overall I have made a very
conventional contents page. I
have used conventional colours,
images, fonts and a
conventional layout.
I included the poster
advertisement on the
contents page also as I
found this to be conventional
for the genre in my research.
4. The layout of my double page
spread is very conventional. I
have put the image on the left
page and than the headline,
the stand first and the main
article taking up the second
page.
I have put a kicker in
my article which is very
common for any
magazine.
The font I have used for my
headline is the same font I used
for my main cover story on the
front cover. This shows that I am
sticking to a house style which is
conventional in magazines.
I have included a stand first
underneath the headline.
This is very conventional for
a magazine article and
would be found on all the
good double page
spreads.
I have added a caption
onto my image also
which is a quote from
the article.
My image on my double
page spread it
conventional for the
genre. It is conventional
because it shows the artist
playing the guitar. I have
seen images of performing
and practising artists used
in Kerrang magazine.
I have put a caption under my
main image which is very
common in magazines.
The main text in the article is a
basic san serif font that is the
same as what I used for my
contents page. This is normal for
a magazine as the text is an
article needs to be clear and
easy to read.
Just like on my cover and
contents I have used
conventional colours for
my double page spread.
This includes red, black and
white which has been
common throughout my
magazine.
5. My masthead is in some ways
similar to Kerrang’s masthead.
They are both san serif and are
both black and white. I feel that
they both use a font that connotes
violence and anger which is
conventional for the genre.
This strip line from a Kerrang
magazine is very similar to mine.
They both use the same colours
and both use clear san serif fonts.
At the bottom of my cover I have
added a little section that shows
the bands and artists in the issue,
under it I have put an example of
this that can be seen in many
Kerrang magazines.
The main image on this Kerrang
magazine shows that mine is
conventional as the are both of
the artist with a guitar, which is a
very conventional instrument in he
rock genre.
6. This comparison shows that the
colours have used are
conventional as they appear in
Kerrang magazine. The red
connotes violence and anger and
the black connotes sadness and
darkness, this is conventional for
the genre.
Here I have taken a poster
advertisement that appears on
the left of a Kerrang magazine.
This is where I have put mine also.
Having posters is very conventional
for a rock music magazine.
7. Just like this image, mine is very
dark, this I conventional for the
rock genre.
The layout of my contents page is
very similar to this Kerrang one, I
have the page split into two
sections just like the Kerrang page.
Both contents pages have a main
image on the top half with some
extra information and also the
bottom half is taken up by the
contents in the magazine. I have
found this to be a very
conventional layout for rock
magazine contents pages.
The colours I have used are very similar to this
contents page also, this includes white, black and
yellow, however I have used more red, but this I still a
conventional colour for the rock genre.
The fonts I have used are also similar. They are san
serif and easy to read fonts which through research I
have found to be very conventional.
8. The layout of my double page
spread is very similar to this Kerrang
double page spread. The main
image is on the left with the article
on the right.
The image I have used is in some
ways similar, this is because these
images are both of a performing
artist, which is conventional for the
rock genre.
The colours of my magazine are
very similar to this Kerrang one.
They both have red, black and
white. This is conventional for the
rock genre.
Both this Kerrang double page spread and my
double page spread include a headline, stand
first, main image, kicker and main article.
However the Kerrang page does have extra, but
many different Kerrang pages have the same as
mine.
