Software Product Management – Optimizing WHAT to Develop Ernani Ferrari
Software companies, as well as development teams in IT departments within companies of other industries have, for years, struggled to find better tools, methodologies and training process for software development. Yet, most medium and small organizations, as well as some large ones, still struggle with the processes that define WHAT the software to be developed should be and how it will evolve over time. Proper processes are not established and most times organizations cope with conflicting roles and stressing day-to-day decisions. Product management for software requires a company-wide understanding of goals, opportunities and required discipline related to product management and is fundamental to maximize all development and ongoing maintenance efforts. This session will address why product management is crucial to maximize revenues and reduce costs in the short, medium and long terms; what the role of a product manager is; how to unfold company strategies into product strategies; what the several business aspects to be considered at product planning are; how to define productization artifacts; and how to orchestrate product releases across a software company to improve corporate communication and overall financial results.
Main Message:
Software organizations have improved HOW they develop and support their products – they have also to improve how to, on an ongoing basis, optimize WHAT those products should be.
This document outlines strategies and processes for new product development. It discusses identifying opportunities, generating ideas, concept development, market research, concept screening, product development, positioning, marketing planning, test marketing, and commercialization.

Where will BRM find themselves in Product Centric Organizations in the Near F...Svetlana Sidenko
Re-defining the role of the Business Relationship Manager in a context of organization's rapid evolution towards product-centric operating models is increasingly needed. Here are possible venues for the BRM role evolution within organizations moving from a “project” to “product” mindset.
This presentation discusses the impact of most organizations shifting from being project-centered to product-centered and the future of the Business Relationship Management as a role and discipline in the product-centered organizations.
Information and Technology Operating Models are rapidly changing from previously centered on projects and project management to models centered on product and product management. Agile methods and lean principles are being widely adopted to support these models. In recent Gartner survey*, 85% of respondents said their organization has adopted or plans to institute a product-centric approach for an average of 80% of their work by 2022. This shift is impacting Business Relationship Management as a role and discipline, leaving no place for the tactical BRMs in the future in product-centered organizations. Strategic BRMs, who represent IT to Business, will play an important role in this transition, to ensure that the business value is realised. However, when the Product Management matures to the enterprise level, the Business Relationship Management will evolve.

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.

acquisition of their software vendor
• Acquisitions that result in broad portfolios of products are not
necessarily viewed negatively but this will depend on the
nature of the portfolio
• Concerns primarily arise over the continued support and

Most continue to run software post-acquisition. But whenvendor
replaced, the incumbent vendor does not necessarily have the
advantage. A search for replacement is > 3X as likely to be put out
to bid.
10. Typical Goals of Acquisitions
• Grow market share:
– Growth of customer base is quick and in “steps” rather than
gradual
– Can be cheaper to acquire large blocks of customers than
selling them one at a time
– Recurring revenue stream benefits from larger base
• Grow share of customer wallet:
– Cross sell and up sell opportunity
– Quicker to acquire a solution than to develop it internally
– Strengthen internal expertise immediately
• Enter new markets
11. How does the customer
benefit?
• Grow market share:
– Stronger financial position
– Can “bail out” struggling companies
• Grow share of customer wallet:
– Broader solution
– Potential synergies between merged companies/solutions
– Can accelerate (or slow) innovation processes
• Enter new markets
– Little to none unless customer is in (or entering) a market
that is underserved by original vendor (questionable choice
originally)
