A lean model based outlook on cost & quality optimization in software projectsSonata Software
A large quantum of effort and research is being invested to address the Cost and Quality factors in software projects. Though the solutions, models and methodologies are well established through experimented processes, adoption and optimization of the required parameters for a specific project to obtain predictable and acceptable quality with minimum costs has always remained a challenge.
This paper discusses the Lean process in detail with the help of project data and demonstrates that simple, affordable and adoptable processes are more economical and focused on quality. Also, it is observed that the Lean Model enables a project to be well monitored and controlled by focusing on critical elements, thereby reducing overheads of bulky documentation and irrelevant processes. The above findings are statistically analyzed using the coefficient of variation, which strikes a direct correlation with the predictable quality in a project.

Implementation of Risk-Based Approach for Quality & Cost OptimizationSonata Software
As a practiced trend in IT projects, Testing is performed only towards the end of a project. Teams
dedicate hours to test possible risks and flaws after the project is ready to run. As software testing at
this level invites several last minute modifications that can cause discomfort, or sometimes even refute
the very concept of the project, it has become the need of the hour to come up with a way to ensure
detection and reduction of risks, at an early stage of the project. Risk-Based Testing, or RBT as referred
to in this paper, is a procedure in software testing which is used to prioritize the development and
execution of tests based upon the impact and likelihood of failure of the functionality or aspect being
tested based on existing patterns of risk.
Through this testing technique, a software test
engineer can now select tests based on risk even before the initiation of the projectThis paper outlines the Risk-Based Testing approach and describes how Risk-Based Testing can positively impact the development life-cycle based on business-oriented factors, offering organizations an actionable plan for starting a Risk-Based Testing approach for projects.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 xRM4Legal xRM4Accounting Technical OverviewDavid Blumentals
Data has become the new currency, and firms create and have access to more of it, and faster than ever before. The challenge is how to transform it into intelligence that generates action and drive outcomes. Dynamics 365 allows firms to adopt individual business apps such as Marketing, BD, Client Care and Operations, but as firms adopt more of the apps, synergies will be unleashed in the form of ‘Intelligent Business Processes’. This will help proactively guide employees & clients to generate optimal outcomes.
As an example – you can adopt Project Service Automation. Project teams can use it as standalone app in close alignment with Office 365, but when combined with Operations, the time and expense reports that project members submit, will automatically go to accounts, HR and Payroll systems, and Project Accounts will be automatically updated for Finance in the Operations App.
It sounds basic… but the fact is that the classic delineation between CRM and ERP has created a separation in data and processes. Dynamics 365 breaks down this separation, and our business platform strategy together with CIT and IOT is centered on enabling this to new levels.

We’re all busy—and it’s a common theme in most professional workplaces—with people trying to get more done with finite time and resources. For a lot of firms today, a major challenge is making sure we’re spending our precious time making the most of every business opportunity by maximizing client relationships. Marketing & BD teams need to know if they’re focusing on the opportunities, RFI’s and RFP’s with the best potential; that they are managing their firm pipeline effectively; and they are giving everyone on the team the best tools for the job—wherever they are.
That’s why firms today are focused on creating great client relationships – they need to try to reduce complexity and make it easier to maximize opportunities, provide excellent client experiences, and grow the firm.
Why should a legal or accounting firm care? Because client experience and knowledge is increasingly important for firms of all sizes – across all client interactions.
Client experience…
…is what differentiates your firm
…is how you win and keep clients for the long-term
…is how you grow your firm …and in a world where clients are mobile and social, your reputation (& brand) is more important than ever.
Today you don’t have as many contact points as you used to have, and you have to make every one count. To thrive in this ultra-competitive environment firms of all sizes have to make client experience a priority. That is why you need Dynamics 365 and xRM!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
