The document discusses Critical Functionality Testing (CFT), an early testing approach that focuses on critical application functions before User Acceptance Testing (UAT). CFT aims to identify defects in important areas like critical workflows, interfaces, batch processes and reports. It helps ensure UAT runs smoothly by resolving issues upfront and provides metrics on critical function stability. The benefits of CFT include lower costs from finding defects earlier, reduced UAT effort, and informed prioritization for development teams. A case study demonstrates how CFT helped a client meet tight timelines for an insurance system implementation while maintaining quality.

How to Select High Impact Use Cases to Drive a Successful Network Automation ...Itential
As organizations engage on their initiatives to deliver network automation at scale, the prioritization of use cases becomes an essential component to maximize and sustain delivery of benefits to the business. Automating large use cases can have a huge impact, but the time and cost to automate those cases means that benefits will take time to manifest. “Low hanging fruit” use cases can show quick success, but the benefits on their own may be modest. This raises a critical question – How do organizations select the network automation uses cases that provide the most impact?
In Itential’s experience working with hundreds of service providers and enterprises across the world to automate their networks, their team of automation experts has gained first-hand experience in the evaluation, implementation, and execution of thousands of network automation use cases.
Explore what goes into successful use case selection such as:
• The process you should take when selecting the use cases that will drive the most impact to your business.
• The most popular use cases organizations like yours are starting with.
• How to weigh the benefits of tackling low-hanging fruit vs. making big bets.
A core banking system (CBS) is a central system dedicated to the processing of banks’ transactions. It also handles accounts, securities, payments of loans, and so on. A Core Banking Transformation, in turn, is the process of replacing, upgrading, or outsourcing this core system. As CBS is the very heart of a bank, transforming it has a high chance of disrupting day-to-day operations. In the face of such costly disruptions, software testing can act as a reliable safeguard. This paper offers the strategies that QA teams can adopt to mitigate the risk and thus ensure the success of this radical transformation.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
