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.
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

By design, exams are not post-tests of trainingNo one who creates courseware, not even Microsoft, sees the exam contentWe don’t care how candidates get the skills as long as they get them (without cheating, of course)
If you’re just getting started, earn a Microsoft Technology Associate certification this will validate your fundamental technology knowledge and help you explore your potential for a career in technology. If you are confident in your IT skills, you can skip ahead to the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist Certification - a slightly more advanced starting point.Once you’ve fulfilled these certification pre-requisite, you should aim for the next step Preparation & TrainingExplore the various training options:Practice testsInstructor-led trainingSelf-paced trainingMicrosoft Press booksSelf-paced training kitsMTATest fundamental IT literacyExplore the various training options:Practice testsInstructor-led trainingSelf-paced trainingMicrosoft Press booksSelf-paced training kits--------------------------------Considering your first certification?, There’s no better time like the present! Whether you’re preparing for a new role or have experience under your belt, professional level IT certifications will help you beef up your resume, advance your career, and earn more.Professional certifications validate a comprehensive and current set of skills required to be successful in the job, providing a reliable indicator of performance. To get professional-level certification, you first must fulfill the prerequisite Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist certification which validates your job-ready skills. Once you have MCTS you can earn the Microsoft Certified IT Professional or Professional Developer certification to further grow your career and differentiate you from other seasoned professionals.Preparation & Prerequisites 2+ years of product experiencePreparation & Training Explore the various training options:Practice testsInstructor-led trainingSelf-paced trainingMicrosoft Official Distance LearningMicrosoft Press booksSelf-paced training kitsMicrosoft online resourcesMCITP or MCPDNext StepMasters Level Certification-------------------------------The Microsoft Certified Architect certificationidentifies top industry experts in IT architecture.

Each Microsoft Certification exam question is:Developed by a mix of industry recognized experts and experienced technology specialists.Reviewed multiple times for technical accuracy. Questions that are not 100% technically accurate are either modified or removed. Reviewed for adherence to standards for relevancy and real-world-ness.Compared to the objective domain to confirm that the question tests what it’s supposed to test.Beta tested to ensure that it discriminates between a qualified candidate and an unqualified candidate.Microsoft Learning regularly reviews the exams Ensure reliability and validity of assessment over timeAnalyze psychometric performance of exams at least once per yearCreate new items and republish as neededCustomer feedback thru exam satisfaction survey and item escalation process
All MCP exams are scaled. This process converts the raw score to a common scale that in Microsoft’s case ranges from 0-1000. Scaling scores makes it easier to compare scores from one administration to the next. Because we are constantly improving our exams, the content and as a result the raw cut score may change from time to time. With scaled scores, you can compare your performance across retakes. As an added benefit, scaling scores makes it much easier for us to communicate the passing score for our exams—A score of 700 is required to pass on any MCP exam.Here’s the key, though, 700 is not equal to 70%. I hear this a lot… I need to 70% of the questions correctly to pass the exam. This is not true; in fact the actual percentage of items that you have to answer correctly varies for exam to exam, and can range from roughly 50% to 80% (I can’t tell you what the range is exactly or what it is for a specific exam, but I can tell you that it varies—on some exams you need to answer a higher percentage of items correctly to pass than on others). The cut score is based on input from SMEs, the minimum qualifications for competency, and the difficulty of the item pool. By the way, this also means that the score that you see in the score report is not the percentage of items that you answered correctly. It’s simply an indication of your performance in relation to the cut score.
