Over half of research businesses surveyed in August forecast growth in 2020 prior to COVID-19, with over half of those forecasting growth of at least 10%. Since the start of the pandemic, a majority have seen negative revenue impacts, though fewer than in May. Face-to-face qualitative and quantitative work remain most affected, with under a quarter recommencing at lower volumes. Online qualitative has increased. Around half of companies interviewed applied for government job support schemes, and more applied for business loans than in May. Current experiences with furlough schemes vary, with some still using them and others having made redundancies.

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.

Why do you want to invest in innovation? Remember: cost saving is a value proposition, you could be eliminated from the organisation unless you are in the conversation to create value by using or transforming your assets
Disruptive and Incremental – which is the best path to follow?
What is innovative about this video?
Seek mentors. You need to step up and be willing to fail. You have no certainties, the organisation, the culture or your peers could resist you, never mind the issues with the external environment. Not to forget…. You may be really bad at leading. But if you are an innovator with an entrepreneurial spirt then that is ok. You attempt to lead may bring others to the fore and they will bring the organisation further than you could. Remember, being a leader is about knowing when to step aside.
Very important. How do you know if your efforts are succeeding? There needs to be rigour in the innovation process as well as blue skies thinking.
Remember the video….
The leader sets the goal. Don’t force the innovation process. Personal experience, innovation driven from tacking opportunities (and problems) that are brought to the team. Don’t expect them to be inventors. That may not leverage their skills. Remember, incremental, you are building a competency without forcing folks into delivering high expectations that will cause them to resist and pull back
6. There are always institutional issues that create valid and reasonable reasons not to innovate, the trick is to find ways to avoid this. Remove barriers encourage innovation look outwards, avoid too much internal focus, don’t focus on the internal anti risk culture
Highest Paid Peron’s Opinion can hold back your innovation growth. People often defer to HiPPO due to their educational or organisational status, their opinion can be taken as gospel by the org. You want to foster an innovation culture not just follow the leaders approach, otherwise why bother. This can get you into some hot water, but remember that you are taking risks and have honest and open conversations about asking these folks to step back and let others grow. They are very valuable, have skills and acumen that you will need, don’t alienate them. Balancing act
Remember you are the leader. Your job is to take the innovation team through the rough waters
Remember you are developing an incremental innovation process. You are leveraging the expertise of your team and finding new ways to enhance their knowledge in a collaborative and synergetic way. That means that you need to trust them to find their own way……
….bet ready to lend a helping hand or actually rescue them when they get into trouble. Getting into trouble is part of the learning process. Without it you do not stress people to grow and adapt.
Make sure that you acknowledge and reward the team for their efforts. Every win is a win. There may be hard days and bigger challenges, but you need to stop and recognise what has been done.
Ok. You didn’t achieve what you set out to do. But if you didn’t try in the first place then you would definitely never achieve anything. Acknowledge that failure is a part of the process and that you need to protect your team from negative outcomes. You need to shield the team
Innovation is an iterative process, you need to review and understand how you can bring new approaches and encourage your innovation engine
You need to have processes to capture the knowledge created, the lessons learned and to store this information in a way that becomes institutionalised and easily shared. If reviewing the information and knowledge processes in your org, maybe that is a big innovation project. Imagine the institutional knowledge and opportunities that you will unleash. But it’s boring….
The road is open for you to drive your innovation processes further. Gain enough momentum in the incremental innovations and build compentcies in your teams, you can start to drive an innovation culture
Very important. How do you know if your efforts are succeeding? There needs to be rigour in the innovation process as well as blue skies thinking.
Following these steps will help you to enhance and foster your innovation culture
