Verification for system companies (LI) - value propositionHagai Arbel
This document discusses functional verification for system companies that use FPGAs. It outlines the typical hardware development flow and pain points companies experience without verification, such as long integration times and bugs found late. The value of adopting functional verification principles from the ASIC world is presented, including defining test plans, using verification tools, and hiring verification experts. Case studies show benefits like shorter debug cycles, less time to market, and reduced effort. Functional verification can help FPGA designs get to the lab cleaner and work as specified even when software changes. The document concludes with background on the company Veriest, which provides functional verification consulting and services.
The world of a software house is a constant search for compromise between quality and costs. In many cases, the cost-cutting starts from the test automation. Then you start to talk about ROI but recognize that numbers are not on your side. We were there and what we have found out is that only a complete change in our approach allows us to find common ground with our clients. I will reveal one detail from the presentation - we are not talking about test automation with clients anymore - as a result we do it more and more.
Are you surprised that success automatically generates new challenges which we further translate into opportunities? We had to reconsider our approach to the test automation environment, internal frameworks and the way we share them between projects, including code ownership, … And again, one simple but unobvious solution allows us to both deliver what we promise and to earn more on our projects.
As we have been reshaping our approach to the test automation, we had to change the way of delivery too. One of the main decisions was skip out the role of test automation engineer (or software developer in test). We decided to go with the whole team approach which is consistent with the way we sell it.

This document discusses requirements traceability and testing capabilities in Simulink. It describes how Simulink can trace requirements bidirectionally between models and source code. It also outlines how Simulink Design Verifier can automatically generate tests to achieve high coverage and check designs against requirements. Finally, it positions several MathWorks products in the V&V process and highlights key capabilities of Simulink Test for authoring, managing and executing simulation-based tests.
The ability to deliver software to production speedily and reliably is critical to supporting a disruptive business landscape and covering implementation gaps. A key factor inhibiting this is testing. DevOps practices encourage shifting left, i.e., testing more during development using unit and component test rather than with QA using end-to-end tests. However, unit and component testing lack functional coverage that may exist in QA end-to-end tests. Shifting left with a domain focus may lead to component and unit tests that don't just guarantee that the software is built right but also that the right software is build.
The PAC aims to promote engagement between various experts from around the world, to create relevant, value-added content sharing between members. For Neotys, to strengthen our position as a thought leader in load & performance testing.

" Performance testing for Automation QA - why and how " by Andrey Kovalenko f...Lohika_Odessa_TechTalks
Performance testing is important to verify an application's behavior under normal and peak load conditions. It determines how many users an application can support while meeting performance goals. Performance testing is done after functional testing using automated scripts. There are two main approaches to converting automated tests to performance tests: 1) modifying existing automation scripts to measure response times and run in parallel to simulate load; or 2) using a tool like HP LoadRunner that can convert automated tests into performance tests that can simulate load and generate reports. Setting up monitoring of system resources and the application is important for any performance testing approach.
The document compares and contrasts the V-model and agile testing approaches. The V-model involves sequential development and testing phases, while agile testing is iterative with the entire team sharing responsibility for quality. Agile testing allows for quicker feedback, accommodation of changes, and more practical implementation of unit and integration testing within iterations rather than as separate phases. The document lists advantages of the agile approach and disadvantages of the sequential V-model.
A brief introduction to test automation covering different automation approaches, when to automate and by whom, commercial vs. open source tools, testability, and so on.
The document discusses software development methodology, focusing on requirements elicitation, agile development processes, testing practices, and outsourcing software development. It outlines the agile development process, including sprint planning and daily scrum meetings. It also discusses development tools for requirements, code changes, testing, and static analysis. Finally, it provides considerations for outsourcing software development work while still owning the process and architecture.

SCM Transformation Challenges and How to Overcome ThemCompuware
If your enterprise is focused on continuously improving quality, velocity and efficiency, you’re going to win against those that aren’t. Driving improvements on the mainframe, and in turn throughout the business, requires the transformation of three things: culture, processes and tools. In other words, changing mindsets, implementing modern practices (Agile, DevOps, CI/CD) and replacing outdated technology.
Mainframe source code management is currently a critical area in need of modernization and should be one of the initial tooling changes organizations make when setting out to improve mainframe systems delivery.
During this session, Compuware specialist Lars-Erik Berglund shares the challenges organizations face with mainframe source code management and what you can do to overcome those.

Continuous testing & devops with @petemar5hallPeter Marshall
This document discusses testing software in high frequency delivery environments using continuous testing and DevOps practices. It outlines how continuous testing is not just about test automation, but also includes automated management of environments, application feedback through monitoring, and engaging in XP practices. DevOps helps by automating building, testing, and deployment to provide consistency and tools for teams. Characteristics of high frequency delivery environments include automating infrastructure, testing, and deployment to reduce errors and allow for smaller, more frequent deliveries. This allows for a single view of quality and faster restore times when issues arise.
Packaged enterprise apps are different from custom apps, and that means testing has to be different too. During this webinar we discussed these differences and provided strategies for supporting every aspect of implementing, testing, and running large enterprise applications.
Unit testing is a software development method that involves writing small pieces of code called units to test individual functions or components. This helps ensure code works as intended and finds bugs early. Key benefits of unit testing include keeping code simple, making code more maintainable and robust, and providing regression tests. However, developers sometimes avoid unit testing due to perceptions that it is tedious or not valuable. Tools like NUnit and Visual Studio support automating unit tests. Test-driven development is a technique where tests are written before code to specify desired behavior.
Combinatorial Black-Box Testing with Classification TreesTechWell
A basic problem in software testing often is choosing a subset from the near infinite number of possible test cases. Consider the challenges of testing multiple browsers, multiple mobile devices, mobile applications, or use case paths. Testers must select test cases to design, create, and then execute to obtain sufficient coverage—all while managing the time it takes to test relative to risks. Even though test resources are limited, you still want to select the best possible set of tests. Peter Kruse shares his experiences designing test cases with TESTONA, the most popular tool for systematic test design of classification tree-based tests. Peter shows how to integrate expected test outcomes and how to obtain executable test scripts directly from the test specification or user stories. If you are looking to jumpstart your systematic test design and want to avoid unnecessary tests and overhead, this session is for you!
A CT pulmonary angiogram is a medical imaging test that uses computed tomography to visualize the pulmonary arteries and diagnose pulmonary embolism. The test involves injecting iodine contrast dye intravenously and using x-rays to examine how blood flows through the lungs. It can detect blood clots in the pulmonary arteries and also help diagnose other conditions affecting the lungs and pulmonary vessels. The patient lies still on a CT scanner table while the gantry rotates around them to take images from the neck to abdomen during breath-holds at different times.
Advances in CT technology allow for higher resolution imaging with multi-slice CT scanners. This provides benefits for visualizing complex anatomy, diseases, and evaluating vasculature non-invasively with techniques like CT angiography. Additional applications enabled by high resolution volumetric data include virtual bronchoscopy and colonoscopy which provide endoluminal views to evaluate airways and the colon with benefits over conventional scopes. While CT involves ionizing radiation, doses are addressed with new technologies and some procedures may replace more invasive options, proving new CT applications are of increasing clinical value.

While CT involves ionizing radiation, doses are addressed with new technologies and some procedures may replace more invasive options, proving new CT applications are of increasing clinical value.
CT pulmonary angiography provides a non-invasive alternative to traditional pulmonary angiography for evaluating pulmonary embolism. It involves injecting iodinated contrast intravenously and using CT imaging to visualize the pulmonary arteries. The test is useful for diagnosing conditions like pulmonary embolism and assessing the pulmonary arteries and their branches. It has advantages over traditional angiography such as being less invasive, using less contrast, and allowing for imaging of the entire pulmonary arterial tree.
CT angiography uses x-rays and iodine contrast dye to produce detailed images of blood vessels and tissues. A CT scan is performed after the contrast dye is injected into the bloodstream. CT angiography can be used to diagnose and evaluate diseases of the blood vessels like injuries, aneurysms, and blockages. It provides more precise anatomical detail than MRI for small blood vessels. Potential risks include radiation exposure and allergic reaction to the contrast dye.
This document outlines the protocol for performing CT angiography (CTA) from the cerebral arteries to the lower limbs. It discusses indications for CTA including aneurysms, stenosis, dissections, and more. The preparation, positioning, and scanning protocols are provided for CTA of the head to lower limbs as well as the subclavian arteries. Pediatric protocols are also summarized. The document concludes with examples of CTA findings and references.
The document discusses angiography procedures and equipment. It describes the personnel involved including radiologists, nurses, and technologists. It outlines the angiography room setup and various equipment used, including x-ray generators, tubes, injectors, and digital imaging systems. Key steps of the Seldinger technique for vascular catheter insertion are provided. Post-procedure care and risks are also summarized.
Computed tomography (CT) was developed by Godfrey Hounsfield to overcome limitations of conventional radiography and tomography. It uses X-rays and radiation detectors coupled with a computer to create cross-sectional images of the body. The first clinically useful CT scanner was installed in 1971. CT provides more accurate diagnostic information than conventional radiography by producing 3D representations of internal structures rather than 2D collapsed images.
CT provides noninvasive evaluation of cardiac structure and function. It uses ionizing radiation and reconstruction algorithms to form images. Advancements include increasing detector rows for wider coverage and shorter scan times. CT can assess coronary calcium scoring, coronary angiography, bypass graft/stent patency, cardiac morphology/function, and pericardial diseases. It is useful for diagnosing chest pain, coronary anomalies, and evaluating surgical candidates. Risks include radiation exposure and contrast nephropathy, so appropriate patient selection is important.
Computed tomography (CT scan) is a medical imaging procedure that uses computer-processed X-rays to produce tomographic images or 'slices' of specific areas of the body. These cross-sectional images are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in various medical disciplines.
Computerized tomography (CT) was pioneered by Godfrey Hounsfield and Allan Cormack in the 1970s. CT uses X-rays and computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body. The first CT scanners used a translate-rotate design, while later generations used multiple detectors and spiral scanning for faster, more detailed imaging. Image reconstruction uses back projection to convert attenuation measurements into pixel values and display slices. CT provides excellent anatomical detail and is widely used for diagnosing conditions of the brain, blood vessels, lungs and other organs.

Curiosity and Infuse Consulting Present: Sustainable Test Automation Strategi...Curiosity Software Ireland
This webinar was co-hosted by Infuse Consulting and Curiosity Software on 27th September 2022. Watch the on demand recording here: https://opentestingplatform.curiositysoftware.ie/generate-rigorous-automated-tests-webinar
Your test automation rates are too low to match the speed of CI/CD, while suboptimal coverage is constantly letting bugs slip through. What do you do?
Many organisations treat this as a resourcing problem, often approaching services providers to navigate an automation skills shortage. Yet, hiring more people to perform the same processes is unsustainable, as the demand for automation persists sprint-over-sprint. In-house testing further risks growing dependent on a scripted framework that they can’t easily access or target for coverage. They risk throwing money constantly at external engineers to write repetitive scripts, fix brittle tests, and source test data. These suboptimal processes must be fixed first – people alone cannot fix test automation ROI.
This webinar will explore approaches to sustainable test automation that grows more efficient sprint-over-sprint, while targeting testing to de-risk the latest system changes. Nalin Parbhu, CEO of Infuse, and Curiosity’s George Blundell will draw on automation project experience from a range of different organisations. They will discuss collaborative approaches that automate processes surrounding test execution, while maximising reusability and optimising in-sprint test coverage. You will see solutions to perennial test automation barriers, including:
1. Collaborative test modelling, future proofing automation frameworks by maintaining intuitive living documentation.
2. In-sprint test and data generation, rapidly creating scripts from reusable flowchart models.
3. Automated test maintenance, targeting in-sprint coverage as requirements and systems change.

Continuous integration practices to improve the software qualityFabricio Epaminondas
This document discusses practices for continuous integration to improve software quality. It recommends analyzing workflows to find areas for automation. It also advocates for self-service builds and push-button deployments across environments. The document outlines patterns like committing code daily, enforcing code quality rules, and stopping broken builds quickly. It notes how continuous integration supports agile methods through daily feedback, using reports to continuously improve processes and quality over iterations.
Continuous integration practices can improve software quality through continuous delivery. The document discusses analyzing workflows to automate processes, enabling self-service builds and deployments through push buttons, and designing pipelines for product lines. It also covers patterns like committing code daily, independent builds, fast feedback at commit stages, stopping broken builds, and using visible dashboards. Continuous integration supports agile methods by enabling daily builds and feedback within sprints to continuously improve quality.
This document provides an overview of continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and continuous deployment. CI involves regularly integrating code changes into a central repository and running automated tests. CD builds on CI by automatically preparing code changes for release to testing environments. Continuous deployment further automates the release of changes to production without human intervention if tests pass. The benefits of CI/CD include higher quality, lower costs, faster delivery, and happier teams. Popular CI tools include Jenkins, Bamboo, CircleCI, and Travis. Key practices involve automating all stages, keeping environments consistent, and making the pipeline fast. Challenges include requiring organizational changes and technical knowledge to automate the full process.

Continuous Performance Testing: The New StandardTechWell
In the past several years the software development lifecycle has changed significantly with high-speed software releases, shared application services, and platform virtualization. The traditional performance assurance approach of pre-release testing does not address these innovations. To maintain confidence in acceptable performance in production, pre-release testing must be augmented with in-production performance monitoring. Obbie Pet describes three types of monitors—performance, resource, and VM platform—and three critical metrics fundamental to isolating performance problems—response time, transaction rate, and error rate. Obbie reviews techniques to acquire and interpret these metrics, and describes how to develop a continuous performance monitoring process. In conjunction with pre-release testing, this monitoring can be woven into a single integrated process, offering a best bet in assuring performance in today’s development world. Take away this integrated process for consideration in your own shop.
This document provides an overview of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) including requirements gathering, analysis, design, coding, testing, installation, maintenance, and the testing lifecycle. It describes the key activities in each phase such as conducting feasibility studies, creating system requirements, designing interfaces and databases, writing code, executing tests at different stages, fixing defects, training staff, and providing ongoing maintenance. It also notes that requirements capture and test planning can start in parallel with development and that testing aims to find defects early to reduce costs.
The document summarizes key highlights from an intelligent automation center of excellence, including over 150 bots deployed, 420+ processes automated, and over 500k hours of manual effort saved. It then discusses how constant application changes were causing maintenance issues for 60% of automations. The center implemented a test suite and continuous integration/continuous delivery pipeline partnering with Auxis to improve automation quality and speed, reduce errors by 15%, and increase production deployment speed by 96%. It provides an overview of the high-level CI/CD pipeline design and concludes by discussing what's next, including expanding the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in automations.
Putting Quality First through Continuous TestingTechWell
Capital One has a highly integrated environment, which creates many dependencies for its agile teams. Because these dependencies are often not completed until late in their sprints, Capital One faced prolonged integration and regression testing phases, and did not realize the expected improvements in quality or time to market. As technology leaders pushed for continuous delivery, testing needed to “shift left” and execute test in real time concurrently with development. Adam Auerbach shares Capital One’s experience implementing continuous testing. He explains the core principles of continuous testing, service virtualization, and the continuous integration/continuous delivery pipeline—and why testers need to understand and leverage these important concepts. Adam believes that testers need to learn basic development skills, including Ruby and Java, so they can take advantage of advanced automation practices. Because continuous testing is not easy and many companies have large populations of manual testers, Adam will provide a learning map to help you plan your personal and team’s transition.

Test Automation Maturity Model (Israel Test Automation meetup 12/11/2018)Arnon Axelrod
Just few years ago most people didn’t know a thing about test automation. Today most companies either use test automation or plan to start doing it soon. However, even companies that use test automation regularly often have a long way to go in order to realize the full potential of test automation. In this talk I’ll try to outline a typical evolution of the test automation in an organization in the way to realizing its full potential.
This is the presentation I gave at Sela on 29/10/2018. It covers the importance of clean code and refactoring skills to productivity and business value
This is the presentation I gave at Sela on 29/10/2018. It covers some best practices for writing clean code and for doing refactoring efficiently. It also describes some of Resharper's features for refactoring and code analysis.
This document summarizes a presentation on moving beyond the page object pattern for test automation. It discusses other design patterns like the singleton, template method, decorator, factory, and builder patterns that can be applied to test automation. It also covers principles like SOLID, 4ROSD, and Poka-Yoke that can help create simpler, more maintainable test code. The presentation argues that while page objects are useful, other patterns may be better suited depending on the needs of the automation and that testers should not feel restricted only to the page object pattern.
In the Israel Test Automation meetup meeting on July 10, 2017, I gave this presentation about the relationships between test automation and architecture, and its importance to the reliability of the tests.
Make sure to read the notes, as they contain more-or-less the spoken content.
This document discusses unit testing, test-driven development (TDD), and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). It begins with introductions and then discusses the importance of quality testing. It describes different types of tests including unit, integration, and acceptance tests. The bulk of the document focuses on explaining TDD and ATDD processes and benefits, including how they help improve code quality and design.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.
