Modeling Process using software intelligence to identify potential performance issues earlier in the development lifecycle. Enriching dynamic testing with structural quality analysis gives ADM teams insight into the performance behavior of applications by highlighting critical application performance issues, especially when combined with runtime
information.
By adding structural quality analysis, ADM teams learn important information about violations of architectural and programming best practices earlier in the development lifecycle than with a pure dynamic testing approach. Structural quality analysis as part of the performance modeling process allows for fact-based insight into application complexity (e.g. multiple layers, dynamics of their interactions, complexity of SQL, etc.) and allows ADM managers to anticipate evolution of the runtime context (e.g. growing volume of data, higher number of transactions, etc.). The combined approach results in better detection of latent application performance issues within software. Resolving application performance issues early in the development cycle, these alerts help to not only save money but also prevent complete business disruptions.

Assessing application development like the rest of the business
Well overdue, it is time to measure application development and
maintenance the same way as the rest of the business, based on not just how much work someone does, but how well they do the work. As we know, looking to see if the code works as expected is only a single measurement. Knowing how easy it will be to maintain over time, how flexible it is to change as required by business changes, how quickly new team members can understand the code and get working on it and how easily the application can be tested are just some of the things that we need to look at in order to understand the real quality of the work being done by application development teams. When these measurements are combined with ways of counting the productivity (quantity) of development teams, we can get a real understanding of how well the teams are performing and what return is being realized from the investment. These measurements can be assessed both for in-house development organizations as well as the work being done by outsourcers.
The applications delivered by IT are a significant differentiator between competitors and therefore it needs to be managed as a core business process. Held up against corporate standards and no matter how or where the development work is done, it must be done well and the resulting applications need to be able to withstand time.

Automating End-to-End Business Scenario TestingTechWell
Allstate Insurance had a problem. While thoroughly testing each of their more than thirty business systems, they were still failing to provide good service to their clients, agents, and internal customers. The reason was simple. Implementing end-to-end business processes requires more than just running data through a set of separate systems. While focusing on automating unit, integration, and system testing, they had failed to consider the need for system-to-system integration tests―tests that would verify that their business systems passed data correctly, met interface expectations, and synchronized properly. Monika Mehrotra and Sandra Alequin describe how Allstate, with the assistance of Infosys, supplemented their existing test suites with a set of end-to-end tests that provided deeper test coverage, demonstrating proper system operation from beginning to end. In addition, Allstate implemented a test environment that more closely resembled their production environment, discovering defects that had previously escaped into daily operation. Learn the importance of end-to-end, not just piecemeal testing.

To Open Banking and Beyond: Developing APIs that are Resilient to every new I...Curiosity Software Ireland
Watch the live webinar on-demand here -
https://curiositysoftware.ie/resources/to-open-banking-and-beyond-api-testing-free-webinar/
With over 35 APIs involved in an average business transaction, API innovation is critical for every organisation. However, microservices and fast-changing components can quickly create overwhelming complexity for architects, developers, and testers. They produce complex arrays of API calls, often leading to QA bottlenecks – or, worse, business-critical systems that have been released with undetected flaws in their APIs.
APIs often also work with sensitive data, making it essential to remove risk from API releases. Otherwise, initiatives like Open Banking can turn from an opportunity to a compliance nightmare. The challenge is that the time available to test APIs is only becoming shorter, while the complexity of the systems is increasing.
API testing must become both more iterative and more granular. This webinar will show why enterprises across banking, retail, telecoms, and more are combining Model-Based Testing and API Test Automation to overcome API complexity. You will see how Test Modeller builds rigorous API tests automatically in-sprint, pushing them to API Fortress for execution. This approach enables QA teams to ensure that APIs deliver business value, building seamlessly on the skills and techniques they use today.
Key takeaways:
1. Organizations investing in APIs must maintain API resilience, reliability, performance, and security.
2. Companies can significantly decrease risk while accelerating releases by combining model-based testing with complete test data management.
3. Test Modeller enables model-based API test automation, using coverage algorithms to create functional and data-driven API tests.
4. Testers can reuse functional API tests in API Fortress as integration tests, load tests, and functional uptime monitors with unlimited deployment and no metered usage fees.
In this session you will learn:

Agile Engineering Best Practices by Richard ChengExcella
By Richard Cheng, Certified Scrum Trainer and Training Business Unit Lead, Excella Consulting
21st Century IT development requires building quality into our development practices yet many software teams fail to implement technical practices that are necessary for long term success. Practices like automated builds, automated tests, automated deployments, continuous integration, and continuous delivery are now considered essential for the success of any software development project. Without these practices, the quality of software goes downhill and teams can no longer sustain their initial high levels of productivity.
However, understanding and implementing the practices can seem daunting. This session presents an easy to understand roadmap for implementing engineering best practices for non-technical audiences.
Though this topic is about engineering best practices, attendees do not have to be technical to get value from this session. The session gives a non-technical look at a technical concept and is great for any person in the organization managing, working with, or working on IT teams/programs.
Learntek is global online training provider on Big Data Analytics, Hadoop, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, IOT, AI, Cloud Technology, DEVOPS, Digital Marketing and other IT and Management courses.

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.

Introduction: Property Based Testing
Beyond Unit Testing
Unit tests are written with a predefined input in mind. For any
scenario, it’s unfeasible to test functionality with all input
variations, to make unit tests and code coverage inadequate
indicators of a thoroughly tested code.
Property Based
Testing
In Property Based Testing, a System Under Test (SUT) runs
frequently with all possible valid inputs that can break the
code.
Finding the Edge Case
/ Shrinking the Input
After the test is broken, a PBT framework shrinks the input to
find the smallest input that falsifies the test. This helps to find
the edge case inputs – empty strings, Unicode characters,
special characters, empty list, negative numbers, lengthy lists,
etc.
Focus on the Property
Assertions / specifications written in SUT test the property of
the functionality being coded. E.g. A DateTimeValue should
have same Date when expressed in milliseconds and
nanoseconds.

1. Sorting problem in JDK with Tim Sort Algorithm
▪ This problem occurred in JDK 7u76, 8 and 9. When a custom comparison logic is written, the Tim
Sort algorithm presents an exception – “ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException” for worst-case long
arrays
▪ This bug has been resolved in later versions of JDK 9 (Details can be found at -
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8072909)
▪ This is an edge case scenario as the algorithm breaks for particular input length collection. It is
highly possible that unit test was missed for this case
2. Heartbleed Open SSL bug of 2014
▪ Heartbleed bug arose because a critical check was missing – the receiver of the Heartbeat
request never checked the length it claimed
▪ From Martin Fowler’s blog:
o “Heartbleed was a similarly heartbreaking case of untested security-critical code which
appeared as part of the ubiquitous OpenSSL library”
o “The change introducing the bug was code reviewed; it is apparent that the reviewer did not
insist that the change include unit tests”
▪ When the logic becomes complex, it becomes exponentially difficult to write tests with all input
variations
Failures due to lack of Testing

Methods to Define Properties
1. Inversing
Applying an inverse function to a function should result in original input.
e.g. For a given input x in a defined range of inputs, the property
“deserialize (serialize(x)) == x”
should always hold true
OR
For a given input x in a defined range of inputs, the property
“decode (encode(x)) == x”
should always hold true
2. Idempotency
Multiple application of the same function to an input doesn’t change the result,
e.g. ‘Sorting’ or ‘Ordering’ a collection multiple times should present the same
result
3. Invariance
Certain properties should never change after the code has run against the input
multiple times. E.g., the hash value of keys of a collection should never change
after any operation; sorting should never change the size of a collection
6. 6
Methods to Define Properties
4. Commutativity
The change in order of applying the function should not change the result.
E.g., Sorting a List, negating, then reversing it == negating the list, then
sorting it
5. Alternative Implementation
There is also an alternate implementation available for the functionality
developed. This approach can be used to test the correctness of the code.
E.g., Sorting a collection with a new algorithm == sorting a collection with
Bubble sort
6. Business Rule as a Property
In the real world, we are guided by business rules to write software, and
are reliable to define properties for testing. Business rules not only deal
with primitive types, but with complex objects too

▪ Web services and APIs are an inherent part of software development, and It’s crucial
to have a break-proof implementation, as it may be consumed by variety of clients
with various purposes. To achieve this, ensure:
o The API doesn’t break for any valid input and generates a valid output under the
defined schema / rules
o Property of the API functionality works as per the definition for all valid inputs
▪ As illustrated below, a typical Property Based Testing framework can be used to test
the API. PBT will generate inputs based on the schema; test the specification written
against the API implementation; and validate the output based on schema

Upon failure, tests are run again with shrunken input to identify the edge case

▪ State cannot be avoided in OOP world
▪ A correct sequence of states defines a property of a
stateful system
▪ Property Based Testing can help test a stateful system by
generating random sequence of actions and verifying
their output against a defined property
▪ From the adjoining workflow, consider a scenario where
patient encounter has defined states
o An event / action will trigger the change in state
o A typical PBT framework will generate a random
sequence of actions and test the next state along
with any defined conditions
o Upon failure, the framework will shrink the
sequence of action commands to give the smallest
set of actions that falsifies the property

▪ Healthcare technology systems are getting more complex to support various
healthcare workflows. It’s critical to ensure that the quality of software isn’t
compromised for patient safety
▪ For feature development, compliance with regulatory (HIPAA) standards and
interoperability rules of DICOM, HL7, CDA etc. are considered along with complex
functional / business rules
▪ Testing should ensure that a feature is penetrated by all possible variations of inputs
and it doesn’t break the software at any particular input
▪ Properties / specifications can be defined for features of various healthcare systems
(claim systems, healthcare CRM, EHR portals etc.) with the help of business and
compliance rules and extensive domain knowledge
▪ For complex software like claims systems, there’s a high frequency of modification,
which makes the feature vulnerable to bugs if not tested against various possible
inputs
▪ Property Based Testing helps to generate a wide array of possible inputs, and
identifies the edge case for a failed scenario

▪ Property Based Testing is not difficult but thoughtful
▪ Property Based Testing should not be implemented to achieve code
coverage, but to test critical functionality of an implemented feature
▪ The code to implement functionality shouldn’t be re-written to test a
property, as it violates the abstraction and encapsulation principles of
programming
▪ Patterns mentioned in previous sections should be employed to
define properties
