Agile & pmi project management mapping maveric systems
Explore the points of parity and differences between two of the most widely used methodologies.
PMI Project Management (PMI) is by far the most widely accepted project management methodology. Off late, Agile has emerged as a strong candidate in the project management domain due to faster execution and deliverable oriented requirements of business.
Both these methodologies have gained themselves the reputation of best in class for project management for their own uniqueness. Though these methods look very different at a high level, they are actually mutually inclusive rather than exclusive. The principles of project management merge at a specific level even though the execution ways are different.

How to take organizations to higher testing maturity suresh bose anagha mahaj...
Description:
For the past many years, the focus of the industry was on improving quality by writing better code and using automation and engineering. These efforts did show results but we are still far from an illusive zero-defect state while fulfilling expected time to market.
In order to further boost software quality improvement efforts, the focus has now shifted to improving testing processes. Test Maturity Model integration (TMMi) is a detailed model for test process assessment and improvement. TMMi staged model contains stages or levels that determine the maturity of an organization and lays down roadmap for moving from one maturity level to next. As the processes evolve, an organization passes from adhoc (L1) to Optimized levels (L5). Application of TMMi will lead organizations to highly mature test process, reduced rework (about 10%), increase in defect removal efficiency (about 85%), higher productivity (about 10 test cases per day or 15% higher) and faster time to market.
Learning Objectives:
1. How can your organization improve the effectiveness of testing
2. How can you sustain testing maturity
3. What is the improvement roadmap for the implementation journey to improve testing processes
4. Why TMMI is preferred to CMMI for any testing organization

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
