Why Your Data Science Architecture Should Include a Data Virtualization Tool ...Denodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/35FUn32
Presented at CDAO New Zealand
Advanced data science techniques, like machine learning, have proven an extremely useful tool to derive valuable insights from existing data. Platforms like Spark, and complex libraries for R, Python, and Scala put advanced techniques at the fingertips of the data scientists.
However, most architecture laid out to enable data scientists miss two key challenges:
- Data scientists spend most of their time looking for the right data and massaging it into a usable format
- Results and algorithms created by data scientists often stay out of the reach of regular data analysts and business users
Watch this session on-demand to understand how data virtualization offers an alternative to address these issues and can accelerate data acquisition and massaging. And a customer story on the use of Machine Learning with data virtualization.
Which Change Data Capture Strategy is Right for You?Precisely
Change Data Capture or CDC is the practice of moving the changes made in an important transactional system to other systems, so that data is kept current and consistent across the enterprise. CDC keeps reporting and analytic systems working on the latest, most accurate data.
Many different CDC strategies exist. Each strategy has advantages and disadvantages. Some put an undue burden on the source database. They can cause queries or applications to become slow or even fail. Some bog down network bandwidth, or have big delays between change and replication.
Each business process has different requirements, as well. For some business needs, a replication delay of more than a second is too long. For others, a delay of less than 24 hours is excellent.
Which CDC strategy will match your business needs? How do you choose?
View this webcast on-demand to learn:
• Advantages and disadvantages of different CDC methods
• The replication latency your project requires
• How to keep data current in Big Data technologies like Hadoop

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.

OLTP(ECC) Vs OLAP (BW)
OLTP System OLAP System
Online Transaction Processing Online Analytical Processing
(Operational System) (Data warehouse)
Source of data
Operational data; OLTPs are the original source of the
data.
Consolidation data; OLAP data comes from the various OLTP
Databases
Purpose of data To control and run fundamental business tasks To help with planning, problem solving, and decision support
What the data Reveals a snapshot of ongoing business processes Multi-dimensional views of various kinds of business activities
Inserts and Updates Short and fast inserts and updates initiated by end users Periodic long-running batch jobs refresh the data
Queries
Relatively standardized and simple queries Returning
relatively few records
Often complex queries involving aggregations
Processing Speed Typically very fast
Depends on the amount of data involved; batch data refreshes
and complex queries may take many hours; query speed can be
improved by creating indexes
Space Requirements Can be relatively small if historical data is archived
Larger due to the existence of aggregation structures and
history data; requires more indexes than OLTP
Database Design Highly normalized with many tables
Typically de-normalized with fewer tables; use of star and/or
snowflake schemas
Backup and Recovery
Backup religiously; operational data is critical to run the
business, data loss is likely to entail significant monetary
loss and legal liability
Instead of regular backups, some environments may consider
simply reloading the OLTP data as a recovery method
