The document describes an automated test framework developed using Cucumber to reduce testing costs and improve coverage. Cucumber allows writing tests in a readable format and mapping them to code. The framework uses Cucumber's Gherkin language, page object model, and integrates with tools like Selenium and Jenkins for cross-browser testing and continuous integration. Test reports are generated using Extent Reports and screenshots of failed tests. The framework aims to minimize gaps between developers and stakeholders through behavior-driven development and automation.
Behavior Driven development is the process of exploring, discovering, defining and driving the desired behavior of software system by using conversation, concrete examples and automated tests.

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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

3. Objective
The Objective of Automated Test Framework with Cucumber are as follows:
To reduce the gap between software developers and stakeholders
To overcome the disadvantages of existing automation tool QTP
To reduce Testing Cost and Time
To improve Test Coverage
To reduce Redundancy
To gain confidence in the system
To reduce the number of defects found by users
To run regression test overnight and weekends
4. Existing Problem
Producer Gap - Difference between what is specified vs what is delivered
Customer Gap - Difference between what the producers actually delivered vs
what the customer wanted
5. Proposed Solution
Cucumber is a software tool based on Behavior Driven Development (BDD)
model which is used to write acceptance tests for web application
Allows automation of functional validation in easily readable and
understandable format (like plain English) to Stakeholders, Business Analysts,
Developers, Testers, etc.
The test suites are then translated into the programming language by
Cucumber, which supports multiple programming and scripting languages.
6. Why this Project ?
Need to deliver the project using a good reliable tool which is open source
Management should understand what the project does. Using Cucumber a
layman can understand what the test case is.
Deliver quickly with a high standard compared to QTP
In agile development process, cucumber is more useful to validate the
requirements
Software Testers with less coding knowledge can use this framework to develop
the test suites
7. Cucumber Automation Tool
Tool that executes plain text functional descriptions as automated test
Runs automated acceptance test on Web applications
Language that Cucumber understands is called “Gherkin”
Cucumber Test are written in a file called Feature
Feature file contains list of test scenarios
Each line in a scenario is called step which are defined with the help of “Given”,
“When”, “Then” and “And” keywords
Step Defintion is a place where the automation codes are written for steps
Steps in the feature file are directly mapped to step definitions
Step definition is a block of code written with any one of the programming
language such as Java or Ruby
8. Simple Cucumber Test
Feature: E-Commerce Application
Scenario: Users should see sign out button once signed in
Given I open the Login page of the application
When I enter valid credentials and click sign-in button
Then I verify the application Home Page is displayed
And I verify the sign out button is displayed at bottom of home page
10. Setting up Environment
Step 1: Download and Install Java and Java Development Kit
Step 2: Setup Java Runtime Environment
Step 3: Install and Configure Maven
Step 4: Download and Configure Eclipse IDE
Step 5: Install Plugins for Eclipse IDE
Step 6: Create New Maven Project
Step 7: Configure Cucumber and Selenium with Maven Project
14. Key Feature of Framework
Page Object Model is used as design pattern to capture the object repository for
web elements
Reusable step definitions can be developed and used for any web applications
Extent Report is used to for Report Generation
Test Reports will be placed in target folder
If test scenario fails, the screen for each failed scenario will be taken and placed in
Screenshots folder
Email will be delivered to mail ids with test report
Integrated with Jenkins, a Continuous Integration Tool which is used to schedule
test and separate cucumber reports also be generated
Cross Browser Testing
18. Summary & conclusion
Automated Testing with cucumber minimizes the software quality gap and
reduces the communication gap between the developers and stakeholders
The Functional and Unit testing for the web applications has become easy
with this framework which minimizes the human effort involved in testing
and to overcome the disadvantages of testing made with UFT/QTP tool
Automation team can be formed with Software Testers with less coding
knowledge or no coding knowledge
19. Directions for the future
This automation framework can be enhanced to do automation in multiple
browsers and parallel execution with help of Selenium Grid
Selenium Grid provides the flexibility to distribute the test cases for
execution. It reduces the batch processing time.
Further, this project can be enhanced by deploying the automation test
source code in a common server which is accessible by all the team
members and integrated with the help of Source tree
