Gathering requirements or "User Stories" is always a challenging activity in Agile or in any other approaches.In this session, I propose using mind mapping that focuses to explore "User Wish" - a vague shape of user requirements before it is written into a form of User Stories.
All parents want their children to have a good head-start in life. So investing in good education is absolutely part of the family cash flow equation. But tertiary education cost is not cheap and is on the increasing trend due to inflation. The presentation will illustrate how 7CAPITAList @ Financial Alliance Pte Ltd work with you closely to come up an appropriate measures to help securing your child's success.
Carol Dweck & Ross Greene - Framing How Kids Learnkawilson68
The mindset theories of Carole Dweck are presented in addition to the collaborative problem solving model promoted by Ross Greene. Both honour the idea that 'kids are doing the best with what they've got'. These are translated to the classroom and how feedback and assessment and help frame behaviours and help kids want to learn.

The Role of a BA on a Scrum Team IIBA Presentation 2010scrummasternz
What is your role as a BA on a Scrum team? How do you fit in? This presentation was given to the IIBA conference in NZ in 2010 by Stephen Reed. Stephen had worked extensively as a BA and moved into using Scrum with multiple teams at a large Insurance company. This experience led to a lot of questions around what the BA should be doing on a Scrum team. This presentation goes some way to listing what worked in the teams Stephen was involved in. The BA role does not change and all the skills of a great BA are necessary still on a great Software Development team, just more focused on being a team member and utilising those skills for the Scrum process of getting working software to the customer with more focus and clarity for the user.

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.
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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.

STEP 1:
• Self-introduction Mind Map
• Central Image
– Your name and your Icon
• BOI’s may be,
but not have to be;
– Why ?
– Who ?
– Favorites
• Leave the other side of the card blank !

33. User Stores: Ron Jeffries’ 3 Cs
• Card
– Written on note cards.
– Cards may be annotated with estimates, notes, etc.
• Conversation
– Details behind the story come out during
conversation with customer
• Confirm
– Acceptance tests confirm the story was coded
correctly
33 Seeing is understanding.
34. User Stories: Mike Cohn
• Shift focus from writing to talking
• Metaphor of Trawling (by Suzanne and James
Robertson)
– Requirements can be captured with different sized
nets
– Requirements change, mature, possibly die
– Skill is a factor
• Avoid “The user”, find “Roles”
• In order to <benefit>,
as a <role>,
I want to <story>,
34 Seeing is understanding.
35. Why Mind Map and User Stories Fit ?
• Shift focus from writing to talking
• Trawl requirements with coarse sized net first
• Capture Emotion, Use your right brain !
Colors, and Pictures !
– To fully utilize broadband communication and
preserve it in your brain, as the same time, keep it
into a mind map as a memento of the situation. In
the future conversation, you can use it to resume
the context back.
35 Seeing is understanding.
36. User Wish Mind Map
• The first step of getting what you want.
• Get the Big Picture.
• Who? first.
• Semi-structured.
• Gather info and mine UseCases/User Stories.
