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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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).

…Wikimedia
Wikipedia is the world’s largest free web-based encyclopedia written entirely by thousands of volunteers in many languages. It was the great experiment…
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not anything else, not everything in the world
Not a library or textbook
Not youtube (no funny cat videos)
Not facebook (not a social network)
An encyclopedia offers an essentialized summary of human knowledge, with the depth of the material depending on the context
Today, there are 16 million articles including more than 3.4 million English entries
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia
However, English is only one of 270 languages represented on the site. Some of the most popular are German, French, Polish and Italian. But there thousands and thousands of articles written in Turkish, Korean, Greek, Norwegian, Czech, and more.
500,000 articles in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, etc.
150,000 articles in Catalan, Czech, Català, Turkish, Hungarian, Swedish, Chinese, etc.
100,000 articles: Danish, Indonesian, Bulgarian, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.
50,000 articles: Greek, Croatian, Norwegian, Thai, etc.

So you what a Wikipedian is, but why is it important to know what these people are like? Readers, even ones that have a grasp of how Wikipedia gets written, often tend to think of regular editors as some sort of collective hive mind, like ants or bees.
Wikipedia isn’t just a website anymore. That quote is real, it’s from a school librarian in Oregon. Wikipedia isn’t just mainstream, for your kids and grandkids it’s a definitive cultural institution.
I’d like to start from the demographics data we have on Wikipedians. Keep in mind that this is from a self-reported survey of just over 130,000 readers and contributors.
The first thing that jumps out at you is that Wikipedians, at least the ones who fill out surveys, are overwhelming male. From personal experience I can tell you that Wikipedia has a culture that includes influential and respected women, but getting more women active in the projects is a goal.
The second thing is that we’re very young. The average is just under 26, so roughly half my fellow Wikipedians are 22 or younger. I began editing when I was 19 I think when I started editing, and I have always been proud of the fact that Wikipedia is a place on the Web where young people take on responsibility.
The last is that we may be amateurs, but we’re pretty well educated nonetheless. The percent of Wikipedians with undergraduate and Master’s degrees is pretty much equal with readers, but there’s about double the amount with a doctorate.
But no matter what demographic you fit into terms of age, race, or gender, there’s a personality that Wikipedians share. Whether you’re a high school student in Iowa or retired in Florida, you’re smart, curious, and you have a few hours a week to give. Of course, the sort of person who writes an encyclopedia for fun tends to have more than a few quirks.
