It also describes adding features like RSS feeds, parts, and an administrative interface.
“Can we integrate mobile, web and API testing into a single open-source automation framework? And, we only want all the test scripts to be written in human-readable language, we want them to be easily integrated to CI system. It’s quite a hard question, isn’t it?” If you or your organization also have the same question and still on trying to find solution for that. Then, we believe that this seminar is for you! At the seminar, we will cover the following topics:

Child Themes (WordCamp Dublin 2017) with notesDamien Carbery
Child themes allow users to modify a parent theme without editing its core files. They are easy to create, requiring only a single style.css file specifying the theme name and parent theme directory. This prevents changes from being lost during parent theme updates. Using a child theme, users can change styles, templates, add new features, and override parent theme files. While most themes are designed to work with child themes, some may require additional workarounds if they do not properly support child theme functionality. Overall, child themes provide a simple and effective way to customize an existing WordPress theme.
Chanhao Jiang And David Wei Presentation Quickling PagecacheAjax Experience 2009
Quickling and PageCache are two software abstractions at Facebook that improve front-end performance. Quickling makes the site faster by using AJAX to transparently load pages without reloading common elements. PageCache caches user-visited pages in the browser to improve latency and reduce server load when pages are revisited. Both have significantly reduced Facebook's page rendering times and improved the user experience.
Stompernet is a website that provides members with various online marketing tools. It includes tools for SMS marketing (Stomperqast), social media management (Stompersocial), video marketing (Traffic Geyser), e-commerce (Stompercommerce), SEO (SEO Qast), and reviews/surveys (Review Qast, Market Samurai). Members also have access to online forums to discuss marketing strategies with other users. The tools aim to simplify tasks like social media monitoring, video distribution, content spinning/distribution, and more.
Erector is a Ruby gem that implements the “builder” pattern for HTML generation. It can save developers time by encouraging more advanced reuse in views via composition and inheritance, terse syntax, auto-closing tags and default HTML-escaping of all output. It can serve as an alternate view technology in Rails.
Using Erector makes it easier to refactor complex views by using standard refactoring techniques such as extracting methods. In ERB you can only accomplish this by helpers or partials, each of which lives in separate files. Since every Erector widget is a class, you can factor out duplication more easily than you can with helpers or partials.
Because views are just Ruby classes, Erector allows for inherited (nested) layouts by default. As a security measure, all output is HTML-escaped by default and all HTML elements are closed automatically.

Merb is a web framework for Ruby that focuses on being fast, memory efficient, and simple. It integrates with Rack and uses plugins built as gems. Controllers can render pages and also perform background processing. The router supports optional path segments and accessing the request and params. Exceptions are handled through a custom Exceptions controller. Merb applications can be run as a single process or using multiple processes for improved performance.
The document discusses performance improvements that have been and still need to be made to Thomas Lété Aloha's editor. It notes that the core has been switched to use literal objects notation and a different JavaScript compressor. ExtJS dependency also needs to be removed since jQuery UI is much smaller. Images should be merged into a sprite and plugins need standards for storing resources. Additional improvements include switching plugins to use literal objects, bundling i18n files, considering a more powerful build language, and moving more core components into plugins.
This document provides instructions over 14 steps to install PHP 7.4, Nginx 1.14, PHP-FPM, and Laravel 7.15 on CentOS 8.

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.

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.

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:
