Testing Design System Changes Across Your Application -- Intuit Use Case -- w...Applitools
** Full webinar recording -- https://youtu.be/Fghrui7Xbcw **
Design systems are one of the most popular new ways to create and document the UI building blocks that make up a product.
Component-based frameworks -- such as React, Angular, and Vue -- have taught teams to break apart their application interface into reusable pieces, while projects like Storybook have allowed us to document and test these components at scale.
What happens when you make design changes using a central system, instead of individual screens? How do you make changes with confidence when your update impacts every screen in the product?
In this webinar, Tyler Krupicka -- Senior Software Engineer @ Intuit -- shared how Intuit tests design system changes for TurboTax, a product with thousands of reconfigurable screens that share a common design language.
He also discussed why design systems have become so important to his team, the tools his team uses, as well as providing a deep dive on how Intuit routinely changes thousands of screens simultaneously.
Watch Tyler in this in-depth live session, and discover:
(1) What are design systems, and how they can help you build consistent experiences
(2) How Intuit uses design systems to build thousands of unique screens in TurboTax
(3) How we test and release widespread changes with confidence in:
(3-i)Performance
(3-ii) Accessibility
(3-iii)Visual Consistency
(4) How you can build and maintain your own design system at scale

Shift left - find defects earlier through automated test and deploymentClaudia Ring
Do you know how much time it takes or how that translates into dollars lost every time you fix a defect in development, QA, or Production? The cost of application failures or errors increases exponentially the further into the delivery pipeline they are when found. If application defects are discovered by end users in Production, or errors cause a Production outage, the cost can be thousands per second, in addition to the intangible loss of reputation.
So how do you begin to identify defects earlier in software development and prevent them from becoming major, costly errors later on? Join Al Wagner, IBM Technical Evangelist, as he discusses how to "shift left" and;
Incorporate service virtualization and automated testing into development for a more thorough and accurate representation of application quality
Integrate deployment automation with continuous testing to remove wait times on application promotion
Adopt best practices that have proven successful for IBM customers who are currently shifting left

What is Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery Sarah Elson
Continuous integration and Continuous Delivery are the processes, where your development team involves frequent code changes that are pushed in the main branch while ensuring that it does not impact any changes made by developers working parallelly. The aim of it is to reduce the chance of defects and conflicts during the integration of the complete project. Let’s take a deep dive and learn more about the fundamentals of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery.
"Through the three circles of the it hell" by Roman LiashenkoCiklum Ukraine
About speaker:
Roman Liashenko, project manager, team lead, developer. 10 years of experience in IT.
About presentation:
“Have you ever heard about wrangles between developers and product owners, product owners and project managers, project managers and developers? I have! And very often such situation looked like a deaf person is arguing with a blindman. Misunderstandings between different project roles are pretty similar to the generation gap because, in most cases, they are based on different mindsets. I came to this conclusion after years working in IT, by playing different project roles and watching changes of my ideology. During this event we will go through the main peculiar mindset properties of each project role. It will help us to understand what does it mean to be PM/TL/Dev/PO. I really believe that even small piece of such understanding will help participants to understand their colleagues and improve their communication.”

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.

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.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Why we should do CI? developers detect and fix integration problems continuously - avoiding last-minute chaos at release dates early warning of broken/incompatible code early warning of conflicting changes constant availability of a "current" build for testing, demo, or release purposes immediate feedback to developers on the quality, functionality, or system-wide impact of code they are writing
5. Build Automation No human interaction needed Try Gets latest source version Compiles all configurations Run all unit tests Run all automated functional/Integration tests Deploy to Test, Stage Report Success Catch (Exception) Report Failure Compile failed Test failed
