Curiosity and Sogeti Present - The state of test data in 2022: New challenges...Curiosity Software Ireland
This webinar was co-hosted by Curiosity and Sogeti on April 12th, 2022. Watch the webinar on demand: https://www.curiositysoftware.ie/state-of-test-data-2022-webinar-sogeti
In 2022, test data management remains one of the greatest costs, risks, and bottlenecks across many SDLCs. The use of potentially sensitive production data is rising, at a time when nearly half of organisations admit that testers don’t always comply with security and privacy regulations [1]. Around half of organisations further report that they don’t have sufficient data for all their testing, and half again that they cannot access the right test environments in a timely manner. Test data today appears to be the place to reduce costly compliance risks, unblock stifled releases, and deliver quality at speed in 2022.
This webinar will outline how organisations today can capitalise on emerging trends and technologies to resolve perennial test data challenges. Antoine Aymer, Chief Editor of the 2021-2022 “State of AI Applied to Quality Engineering” report, will walk you through the key insights of this landmark research. Test data veteran, Huw Price, will then highlight how evolutions in software delivery have added complexity to test data challenges, but also often present the key to resolving these test data needs. A live demo will then highlight techniques for making complete and compliant data available on-the-fly, including applications of AI to automate quality gates across the SDLC.
This webinar is hosted by Curiosity Software Ireland and Sogeti. By registering, you agree to the privacy policies of Curiosity (bit.ly/3qZnxTC) and Sogeti (bit.ly/ 3sHw1QK). Your data will be processed by both parties, including communication before and after the event.

How Data Virtualization Puts Machine Learning into Production (APAC)Denodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3mJJ4w9
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, these data scientists spend most of their time looking for the right data and massaging it into a usable format. Data virtualization offers a new alternative to address these issues in a more efficient and agile way.
Attend this session to learn how companies can use data virtualization to:
- Create a logical architecture to make all enterprise data available for advanced analytics exercise
- Accelerate data acquisition and massaging, providing the data scientist with a powerful tool to complement their practice
- Integrate popular tools from the data science ecosystem: Spark, Python, Zeppelin, Jupyter, etc

The document discusses an Internet of Everything (IoE) Value Index report for Mexico. Some key findings include:
- IoE is expected to create $14.4 trillion in global value from 2013-2022, with Mexico realizing $87.5 billion of that potential value in 2013.
- However, Mexico captured only around 52% of its potential IoE value in 2013, leaving $41 billion "on the table".
- The largest opportunities for capturing more IoE value in Mexico involve improving customer experience, supply chain/logistics efficiency, and innovation.
BizFlow - BPM at Jardine Lloyd Thompson for Sales, Document Handling, Custome...Garth Knudson
As far back as 2004, JLT EB started using business process management (BPM) to streamline a limited set of business operations. Use was confined to about 30 people in a “model office”. During that same time period, JLT acquired Profund, a leading provider of pension administration software in the UK. Customers included both in-house and third-party administrators. Profund had seen opportunities to expand its pension fund administration solutions into specific areas of process automation while helping customers to simplify the overall user experience. Deciding to use the current BPM tool, the company developed outward facing solutions that rolled out to end customers in 2007. BPM usage at JLT EB and Profund grew to about 300 users.
Between 2007-2010, JLT made more than 20 acquisitions globally across the group. JLT EB operations quickly became highly complex, distributed and paper-based. Employees were handling millions of documents annually covering Pension Administration, Payroll, Defined Contributions, Actuarial, Health and Risk, among other requests. Processes treated more than 16 million workflow elements, 300+ million rows of table data and 15 million SharePoint documents. The BPM solution covers 14 active offices in Europe and India, off-shoring and massive amounts of regulations. The company knew that in order to continuing growing at the same speed while containing costs, it would have to do more with less.
JLT EB accomplished its goals of increased revenues with lower costs with continual investment in BPM. JLT EB has worked with BizFlow and used the BizFlow BPM software to streamline >200 processes. From an ROI standpoint, this work has provided a key business component, contributing to JLT EB’s growth in trading profit by 50% in the last financial year. Revenue growth is enabled by more flexible solutions that can be highly tailored to internal client needs as well as end-customer engagements. Cost cutting is enabled through the use of process automation tied together with effective scanning, document handling and rule-based routing. Paper is largely removed, deadlines hit, and governance accomplished.
The CEO of a company was frustrated with the inability of the technology team to deliver on goals. An analysis using the 7Stones Framework revealed issues with culture, priorities, and processes. Recommendations focused on having business leaders set priorities and hold the technology team accountable. This led to improved delivery of a new project with fewer issues.
General Mills launched a gluten-free cereal called Gluten-Free Chex Cereal to address the growing market for gluten-free products and consumers with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. While the product has received some positive attention online, it lacks widespread awareness. The advertising plan aims to increase awareness of celiac disease, position General Mills as socially responsible for addressing this health issue, and gain market share for Gluten-Free Chex Cereal and other potential gluten-free products. The plan proposes utilizing both "push" and "pull" strategies to spread information and build broader awareness among target audiences.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Executive Overview
Database Overview:
Gold Group Information Technology Division is pleased to present a fully functional
prototype of G.I.I.T.S. The department has been successful in implementing all of its
goals as originally planned, including all necessary inputs and forms as described in the
initial proposal.
G.I.I.T.S is now able to provide the integration between customer service, employee
sales, inventory management and vendor management that Gold Group previously did
not have. Now with real time communication between the sales floor, warehouse and
vendors, just in time inventory has eliminated back orders and unable to fill orders as
well as excess inventory. G.I.I.T.S also alerts sales reps to the amount of inventory that
has been allotted to customers and are not available for sale to provide better customer
service and warehouse management. Service agents are now able to track customer
orders in real time with shippers in order to provide customers with real time
information and are better able to respond to any issues.
Employees at all levels are able to add new customers, products and suppliers with easy
to use forms. Managers are now easily able to create up to the moment reports to
accurately ascertain which products are selling, agent sales and predict when new
inventory will be arriving. With real time reporting, managers are also able to spot top
selling agents and produce market analysis reports.

CLOSING
With G.I.I.T.S. Gold Group Office Supplies will be able to meet its future goals, and have the flexibility to meet market
demands and remain competitive in the global market place.
Feasibility Study
Executive Summary
Gold Group Office Supplies’ current system is fragmented due to aging legacy systems
that are unable to integrate with other internal and external databases. This system has
hindered the company’s capacity to serve its growing customer base. A new system,
Gold Inventory Information Tracking System, also known as G.I.I.T.S. has been
proposed as a system that will enable real time tracking of inventory and sales by
integrating our internal systems and linking those systems with outside vendor’s
tracking information systems such as UPS to minimize Gold Groups development and
maintenance cost.
Gold Inventory Information Tracking system can be designed and implemented within a
six-month period at an estimated total cost of $29,590 or 1.47% of total revenue.

Updates, maintenance and 24-hour customer support will be supplied by Smart Systems
Inc. for a monthly fee of $750.
It is the recommendation of the Gold Group Information Technology Division that the
Gold Inventory Information Tracking System be approved.
1. The challenges faced in implementing this plan are:
a. Designing user-friendly software, including appropriate data inputs, fields,
outputs and reports.
b. Transferring data from legacy systems into the new system.
c. Networking with vendor systems, including shipping suppliers.
d. Ensuring companies current work stations, personal computers and lap
tops meet hardware and software requirements and to implement
upgrades or replace them as necessary.
e. Training Gold Group Employees and Vendors.
f. Initial testing.
g. Implementation phases of G.I.I.T.S.
h. Maintain current level of customer service during implementation of
G.I.I.T.S.

4. Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposed System
There are many strategic advantages of the proposed system. Gold Group Office
Supplies will be able to reduce inventory cost, reduce excess inventory, reduce inventory
loss, provide more efficient and effective customer service and provide better tracking of
costs and employee sales in real time. Gold Group Office Supplies will have the capacity
to accept larger orders and obtain new and larger customers. G.I.I.T.S. bring positive
changes to the way company functions through reengineering of the inventory system,
bringing down company-wide cost and providing a stronger competitive edge in the
market place.
Some disadvantages while implementing the new system would include the time it will
take to properly train our staff on the new system, including payment of overtime to
maintain the current customer service level. Other potential obstacles are the co-
operation with vendor’s and shippers. To counter act these obstacles, Gold Group will
consult and contract with the software developer Smart Systems Inc. Smart Systems is
the major software developer used by the majority of our vendors. Smart Systems is an
expert in web-based applications that integrate vendor, inventory, customer service and
tracking services and in addition offers continued maintenance and 24-hour support. By
using compatible systems with our vendors and shippers, Gold Group will be able to
help our stakeholders reduce their costs and establish alliances and affiliate programs.

Group Leader – Seth Breedlove
Team Members – Dung Nguyen & Agnieszka Patykowska
15. Gold Group Office Supplies 2008
The technology division will be using various software components available to it.
Microsoft Excel, Access, Project and other components of Microsoft Office to generate
financial outputs, to design customers’ database to keep track of their records and
transactions. Dreamweaver will be used to design the website interface. The department
then links all these outputs so reports will be available online for customers and
vendors. Beta testing will occur before any employee or vendor training and then tested
again before implementation.
6. Final Recommendation
The implementation of the new system G.I.I.T.S. will be able to be implemented at a
minimal one-time cost of 1.47 % of our current revenue, and is expected to reduce future
cost and increase operating income by 6.8% within the following year. With the
partnership of Smart Systems Inc., the proposed system will require less labor, time and
expense than propriety software. It is the recommendation of the Gold Group

Prototyping/Data Definitions
Executive Summary
This report is to introduce the partial prototype for G.I.I.T.S. The following pages
include two tables for the ‘Invoice Form, Invoice Status Report, Invoice List, Customer
List Form, Customer List Report by Area and the Customer List’.
A mock list of 30 customers and 30 invoices were created for this report.
The Invoice Form is for sales agents to easily create new invoices. The form in its
final stage will automatically populate the invoice number filled and will provide the
agent with a guide to enter in the customer and product information. The form will
provide a choice of a selection of agents and an option for the status of the invoice.
The Invoice Status Report provides a quick look of all the invoices grouped by status
of active, fulfilled or canceled and by date of invoice to spotting lagging orders.
The Invoice List provides a quick look up of orders by invoice number or by customer
information.
The Customer List form provides an easy way either for agents to enter in customer
information or for customers to add themselves to our mailing list.
The Customer List Report by Area provides a breakdown of customers by the city
they live or shop in.
The Customer List is a quick way for agents to search for customer information by
multiple criteria.

G.I.I.T.S will be able to create reports showing Sales Agent Revenue, Vendor
Information and status and a list of products in stock, and on order and their status.
G.I.I.T.S. will also be able to track repeat customers, high purchasing customers and
track which areas produce high-ticket customers.
Project Summary
Currently we have finished the Design Phase of the project. We are excited to proceed to
the next phase, as we believe that we are ahead of the planned schedule of implementing
this system into our daily operations. The next phase of this project is the vendor
training, then warehouse training, sales force, and finish with customer service.
After months of designing the G.I.I.T.S. we are proud to present and use the state of the
art system that is designed to include all of the departments of our company, working
well together, providing up to date reports, and real data on the inventory, order status,
vendor orders and status, invoices, and customer database well incorporated into the
system.
G.I.I.T.S. is a system that will speed up the work of our company, creating a well
designed mechanism that will only improve the work of various departments, including
the work of the sales force, warehouse, administrative department, customer service,
and vendor relations. The system is easy to use and designed in a way that decreases the
possibility of making mistakes. This is important to us, as it will become helpful in
training our employees, vendors and customers on how to use the system.
We have successfully overcome most of the challenges that were described in the
feasibility study part of this report. The other challenges are still to be approached as

they concern the implementation phase of the project. We look forward to the training
phase of the project as that will show us in practice the quirks and possible problems
with the system. That will help us solve possible difficulties before the system will be
used fully on the daily basis.
To conclude, I think Gold Group is a strong team of individuals that will make the
implementation of the G.I.I.T.S. a successful project. We cannot forget to stay focused
on implementing improvements to the system, as the technology changes constantly,
making it work even better and smoother. We look forward to continue to work on
designing and implementing the system into our daily operations.
Dear Prof. Danner;
Below is the project summary.
Group Summary: By Dung Nguyen
Gold group members have performed their best for the project. Seth Breedlove, group
leader has contributed much of his time and effort to keep everyone in the group on
track. Thanks to the leadership of Seth, we were able to complete the feasibility phase
with high expectation. As group members, Dung Nguyen and Agnieszka Patykowska
have also spent a lot of time to work along with Seth to bring the best into the project.
We have faced many difficulties. One of our first issues was communication. Since, we
all have different time schedule and many of us are working. It was extremely difficult to
set up a meeting. The project is time consuming so we were all panic at one point.
Thanks to Yahoo Messenger, we are able to meet each other online. It is really
convenient. We also put more effort to email, phone call, and text one another.
The status of the group is five stars. No one is sick. Everyone is participating. With the
group leader’s guideline, all members won’t be panic or frustrated at any point. We have
completed the proposal and feasibility phases. To stay front of everything, we also have
discussed about planning and prototyping phases. However, we are not able to continue

without the feedbacks of professor Danner. Since, our project is quite long and a bit
complicated. Overall, Group Gold has a strong leadership from Seth Breedlove and high
contributions from Dung Nguyen and Agnieszka Patykowska.
Group Summary: By Seth Breedlove
I am very pleased with the outcome of the group project so far. The product of this joint
effort has been very professional and polished. At first, the project got off to a very
rough start, but with good team communication and effort, we were able to pull together
and produce excellent results. The team communicates effectively and efficiently.
Everyone provides feedback and takes feedback well. All the team members possess a
positive attitude, have participated in the various aspects of the project, and have acted
as a cohesive group towards a common goal. One thing that was clear was that everyone
cared about this project. Extra kudo’s to Nisha who was very professional and put in
long over-night hours. I know everyone was over loaded, and the emotional burden was
amplified since it was a small amount of people doing a larger portion. I would tell any
future employer to hire her.
Group Summary: By Agnieszka Patykowska
As of 4/01/2008
Considering the fact that we all have extremely busy schedules, which contributes to the
fact that we cannot meet on the regular basis at the same time, we have managed to
communicate well through e-mail, through the group forum on iLearn, and by using
Yahoo! Messenger, form time to time.
We all participate equally in the assigned projects, doing as much research as it is
possible to understand assigned tasks and jobs. We all split work on the project,
checking each others work, making sure there are no mistakes, and other glitches. We
all discuss assigned tasks in terms of some possible difficulties, and how to solve them
effectively.
We are currently on track with assigned projects, continuously working together,
putting a lot of effort to meet and exceed the requirements of the project, staying on top

of tasks. Seth is an excellent team member, he exactly knows how to lead us and direct
us by giving us priceless advice. Working with Dung is quite successful as well.
As of 05/13/2008
After working for the entire semester with Seth and Dung, I feel that we have
accomplished a lot. We had many problems, just as any group would have; our vibrant
backgrounds, way of accomplishing assignments and way of communicating were
definitely the focus point and were causing most of the problems. I have learned a lot
about people from working with my team, I have learned skills that are usually not
taught in the textbooks. Although sometimes I felt that I should have known how to
solve problems, answer various tasks asked of me to perform, I also believe that by
taking this class I don’t have to know all these skills, therefore I am taking this class, to
learn.
I think Seth is a great leader. Without him this project would fail or I would have to step
up to the role of the leader. Seth is very professional, very intense person at times, but it
taught me a valuable lesson. I really appreciate the opportunity to work with Seth.
I had less interaction with Dung, but I feel that he is a good team member, hard
working.
