Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Editor's Notes
Welcome to the training module on Contactless Rotary Sensors.
This training module will introduce SRH series of contactless rotary position sensors.
Sometimes one needs to know the angular as opposed to the linear position of an object. While it is possible to create mechanical linkages that convert a rotary motion into a linear displacement, there are also ways to measure rotary motion directly. A hall effect sensor is one of the methods to rotate a uniform field around a Hall-effect sensors. Hall-effect rotary position sensors are able to measure rotary motion or small linear motion and are typically small and relatively low in cost. The basic Hall element relies on a magnetic field to sense motion; a principle based on the small electrical potential created when a stationary magnetic field is placed perpendicular to a current-carrying conductor. When the shaft is rotated at the sensing modules face, the circuit accurately measures up to 360° of angle. There is no contact between the sensing circuit and the actuator making the sensor ideal in extreme environments of high temperatures, shock and vibration.
The Penny and Giles SRH series of contactless rotary position sensors have been specially developed to provide maximum performance under extremes of temperature, humidity, vibration, shock and immersion. Using the latest advances in 12bit Hall effect sensing technology, this new generation of sensors are factory programmed to provide the user with a wide range of previously unavailable options, including single or dual redundant outputs, clockwise or anticlockwise rotation and measurement angles from 0-20° to 0-360° in only 1° increments. This sensor range is ideally suited to operate in extremely hostile applications that are typical in motorsport, off-road specialist vehicles, military vehicles and heavy industrial machinery.
All models in the SRH series have been designed to offer the best combination of materials and mounting styles that ensure survivability in the most rugged applications. Penny and Giles use sealing systems and cable connections that offer superior protection against the most hostile of operating conditions. Models SRH280/DP and SRH501/2P can withstand operating temperatures from -40°C to +140°C and have been tested to withstand severe shock and vibration. All sensors have protection to at least IP68 rating, with models SRH501P & SRH502P offering protection to IP69K. With an EMC immunity of 100V/m, these position sensors are ready for the harshest applications.
The SRH series has an impressive performance specification and can operate from a 5Vdc regulated or 9 – 30Vdc supply. Outputs can be PWM or analogue voltage (nominal 0.5 - 4.5Vdc) over the measurement range with clockwise or anticlockwise shaft rotation. A choice of 341 different electrical angles from 20° to 360° are possible. 12 bit resolution (0.025%) is available over the selected measuring range, with a non-linearity better than ±0.4% and temperature stability better than ±50 ppm/°C. The sensor’s analogue output option has a very low output noise level of less than 1mV rms.
Here shows the part numbering for SRH series of contactless rotary position sensors. As the part numbering system indicates the measurement range, output type, output phasing of each channel, shaft style, cable length, etc., you can learn about the basic characteristics of sensors easily.
Here shows the maximum operation temperature de-rating graphs. The device can be operated from -40 ºC to +140 ºC under 5V DC supply. However, when supply voltage is from 9V DC, the Derate upper temperature limit by 0.57°C for every 1V increase in supply. If the maximum operating temperature is exceeded, the voltage regulator will shut down to protect the device from overheating.
Here shows examples of sensor outputs for three different angles.
