User Experience Testing—with the Pilots at 18,000 FeetTechWell
All testers have users with unique needs. Are these needs included in your requirements? Lisa denDekker-Redemann says that was not always the case at UPS. Were we testing the mobile systems that our crew members use like we should? Sometimes to get it right, we have to go out into the wild—or in our case, out into the wild blue yonder. To get the whole story (and awesome test coverage), we boarded an aircraft to design scripts and test live 18,000 feet in the air. We found real conditions our users face that didn’t make the user stories and test conditions. Lisa shares why she went into the wild—building relationships with real users, the importance of environment factors, and how it all makes for better testing. What are some items that may be missing from your test coverage? Join Lisa to find out why they got into the cockpit—and more importantly, what they got out of it.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Phil and Captain Polly about the feasibility of cyber-hijacking airplanes. They discuss the aviation systems commonly claimed to be vulnerable like ADS-B, ACARS, and transponders. While these systems have no security, attacking them would likely only create phantom traffic or bogus messages. Hijacking a commercial airliner through its systems is not practical as they have mechanical backups and any electronic issues would trigger alerts to pilots. The closing thoughts note that increased automation and unsecured protocols do pose problems, but currently airliners themselves are relatively secure.
Some recent claims have been made concerning the ability to remotely hijack airplanes. This talk examines those claims.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
