Proposed T-Model to cover 4S quality metrics based on empirical study of root...IJECEIAES
There are various root causes of software failures. Few years ago, software used to fail mainly due to functionality related bugs. That used to happen due to requirement misunderstanding, code issues and lack of functional testing. A lot of work has been done in past on this and software engineering has matured over time, due to which software’s hardly fail due to functionality related bugs. To understand the most recent failures, we had to understand the recent software development methodologies and technologies. In this paper we have discussed background of technologies and testing progression over time. A survey of more than 50 senior IT professionals was done to understand root cause of their software project failures. It was found that most of the softwares fail due to lack of testing of non-functional parameters these days. A lot of research was also done to find most recent and most severe software failures. Our study reveals that main reason of software failures these days is lack of testing of non-functional requirements. Security and Performance parameters mainly constitute non-functional requirements of software. It has become more challenging these days due to lots of development in the field of new technologies like Internet of things (IoT), Cloud of things (CoT), Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, robotics and excessive use of mobile and technology in everything by masses. Finally, we proposed a software development model called as T-model to ensure breadth and depth of software is considered while designing and testing of software.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.

Editor's Notes
Key Points:Cloud services have a variety of typeEach type is a tradeoff between control/flexibility and cost.For many users PaaS represents a sweet spot between the two ends of the spectrum. What constitutes Cloud Computing?Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a model for provisioning hardware (compute, storage, networking, etc...) to the end user where management of the underlying fabric is controlled by the provider, but the end user maintains control of the operating system and applications installed within. This system usually includes a metered-byuse cost model and allows the end user to expand/contract their use of the infrastructure as needed, usually via self-service portals. Examples include: FastHosts, Go Daddy, Rackspace, Amazon EC2, vCloud Express Services (e.g., BlueLock, Hosting.Com, Melboure IT, Terremark), private clouds deployed/managed by IT as service to business units (internalIT’s end-customers), Azure Service with the VM RolePlatform as a Service(PaaS) is a model for delivering complete development platforms as a cloud service. PaaS offerings facilitate development, testing, deployment and on-going maintenance of applications without the cost of buying the underlying infrastructure and software environments. Examples include: Microsoft Azure Platform, Google App Engine, VMforce.comSoftware as a Service (SaaS) is a model where an application is delivered over the Internet and customers pay on a per-use basis. It is the most common form of cloud computing delivered today. Examples include: BPOS, Salesforce.com, Hosted Exchange, Salesforce.comCore attributes of Cloud Computing Scalable, Elastic, Multi-tenancy, Metered by Use, Self Service
Key Points:Windows Server and Hyper-V Cloud is a great way to deliver IaaS for Private Cloud and Partner Hosted CloudsDeploying IaaS with Hyper-V CloudTo accelerate Infrastructure as a Service deployments, Microsoft has designed a set of programs and initiatives to help deploy cloud environments, based on Windows Server Hyper-V, System Center, and related products.

Key Points:Microsoft is a platform company; platforms empower other companies to build great solutions for their customersMicrosoft’s platform is built on Windows Server and includes SQL Server, .NET etc.Microsoft’s cloud services platform is built on these same technologies and permits partners to reuse their existing assetsScript:Windows Azure is Microsoft’s operating system service for the cloud. It is built on Windows Server. It provides seemingly boundless compute and storage for Microsoft’s customers who wish to deploy their applications to it. Microsoft provides .NET as a first class framework on Windows Azure and so customers will find familiar applications running on Windows Azure, developers will use the same tools and languages and leverage mostly equivalent frameworks and runtimes (some things on Windows Server aren’t available on Azure and vice versa). Microsoft is committed to supporting a diverse set of languages and runtimes on Azure and, during PDC2010 announced that the Java language, runtime and associated frameworks – as well as PHP – will become first class citizens of Windows Azure. Additionally, for those customers wishing to bring legacy applications to the cloud, towards the end of 2010, Microsoft will add a Virtual Machine role which, like Amazon EC2, enables customers to migrate many of their existing applications.SQL Azure is Microsoft’s relational database service for the cloud. It is built on SQL Server. Like Windows Azure, SQL Azure aims to reduce the burden on the customer of setting up, creating, configuring, maintaining and operating databases. All of these activities are supported by the service and, where possible, the platform takes responsibility for providing them. Principally, SQL Azure is aimed at providing relational database services to applications running on Windows Azure; when the applications move to the cloud so does their data. However, SQL Azure can operate as a standalone database service for those customers who have no ability or interest or wish the comparative advantage in having Microsoft run their databases for them.Windows Azure and SQL Azure are the foundational services of the Windows Azure Platform. Over time the portfolio of services in the Windows Azure Platform will grow. Additional services will be added to further reduce the complexity and effort required by customers building applications in the cloud.
