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.
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. 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.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

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:

This diagram provides a simple overview of the main functions of the eFolder AppAssure Cloud.AppAssure and eFolder have joined forces to deliver the eFolder AppAssure Cloud, a service that replicates AppAssure bare metal backup images to the eFolder Storage Cloud and enables multiple disaster recovery options. This solution combines the power of AppAssure software with eFolder cloud backup and recovery services.This service will launch on X date.Before turning things over to Lliam, let me just make a few comments on how a service like this works:AppAssure software periodically creates image-based, bare-metal backups from the client servers or workstations at pre-configured intervals The backup images are automatically backed up to a local storage environment running the AppAssure CORE The local AppAssure CORE replicates the images to a fully managed AppAssure CORE in the eFolder AppAssure CloudeFolder delivers various system monitoring, data privacy, and data integrity technologies to guarantee the success and reliability of the images contained in the eFolder Storage Cloud In the event of server outage, the AppAssure software enables fast, on-site recovery to physical or virtual environments or to dissimilar hardware In the event of local disaster that destroys a location or the servers, eFolder supplies multiple recovery options for the bare-metal images stored in the eFolder Storage Cloud, including download, expedited shipment of the images on disk/NAS device, or rapid virtualization in
I am going to spend about five minutes sharing some background on eFolder as company, just to give some context on our accomplishments to date and where we going as a company.eFolder is a leading supplier of cloud data protection and cloud security offerings to managed service providers, solution providers, and VARs.The company was found on a simple principle:Backups should be automatic, reliable, secure, and delivered as a fully managed service by trusted IT channel partners.To resellers considering partnering with eFolder, the sales pitch is simple:Cloud data protection generates high-margin, recurring revenue and should be the most profitable managed service offering you can deliver.
Organizations have to defend against three kinds of business interruptions:First, everyday disasters are incredibly common. Hardware failures, especially disk drive failures, occur all the time. Users delete or lose files. Corrupted software installs are common. Human error is a key contributor to everyday disasters.Natural disasters or site-wide disasters are far less common. They do happen however and the consequences for a business can be deadly. Fire or property insurance always seems like a needless expense, until you need it. The same goes for backup and disaster recovery preparedness. In some parts of the country – say in the Gulf Coast or in Tornado Alley – the likelihood of a site wide disaster is even higher. Most businesses can not survive the complete loss of their critical business data. If customer records, financials and accounting records are completely lost, most businesses would have a hard time recovering from such an event. Lastly, businesses need to guard against any kind of system downtime. In today’s competitive market, the fast eat the slow. Businesses can’t afford for their employees to be down, out of touch, or unproductive. Servers, workstations, and mobile assets need to operate at peak performance so knowledge workers, salespeople, engineers, and support personnel can get their day to day jobs done well. If disasters do occur, recovery has to be fast and complete.And you need to guarantee that the commitments or service agreements you have in place can be met or exceeded. The key to managed services is a chain of promises to clients about performance, uptime, and resiliency, in exchange for a flow of monthly revenue from these clients. When something does go wrong with the clients servers or infrastructure, you need to ensure that you can recover quickly and completely, without fail.

When we first started looking at our BDR solutions we were really only interested in finding a truly reliable off-site option; what we actually found was two companies that each respectively were the best at what they did.We have always been about the RECOVERY part – we see a lot of companies focusing on the backup part and paying very little attention to the recovery part – this has become our niche.In general terms, when we went looking for a solution we were wanting to really close the gap on items like: - Restore times - Utilization of drive space - Eliminate chain failures - Introduce Application integrity checks – Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and SharePoint - Provide a truly viable method for a true facility failureWe found that with AppAssure we have been able to take advantage of all of these items – and several other things that we hadn’t thought of.In terms of what we have seen as the top 5 technologies that are baked into AppAssurre – we see them above.[talk about each of the 5 listed above – quick intro for each feature]
As I am sure everyone is aware – email in most organizations is CRITICAL; they need it up and running ALL OF THE TIME.Microsoft Exchange has always been particularly cumbersome to restore QUCIKLY – dirty shutdowns in the backups, messing around with the transaction logs, creating Recovery Storage Groups – lets face it there are a lot of moving parts to an Exchange Server and fast recovery can take some time.AppAssure addresses some these complexities with the major Microsoft applications like SharePoint, Exchange and SQL Server; this is done by ACTUALLY testing on a scheduled basis IF these databases are intact – I don’t know of another product on the market that is able to do this.
Let’s face it – data growth is unprecedented, with things like HIPAA, PCI, SOX and PACS your customers storage needs are growing very quickly.Even with very large hard drives it can be difficult to retain backups effectively within a complaint retention period.This is what de-duplication is all about… this technology alone can reduce your overall storage needs by a signifficant amount
