Combining requirements engineering and testing in agile. SYSQA BV
Agile Testing Days Berlin, november 2012
Projects that use agile have small, multidisciplinary teams. When every discipline has its own specialist in the team, the team becomes bigger and bigger leading to more communication, coordination and more need for documentation. Combining programming and testing is not a wise decision but combining requirements engineering and testing is very well possible. It even turns out that a lot of communication, documentation and coordination is not necessary. So a lot of time and effort can be saved. During his presentation Jan Jaap tells why testers are excellent requirements engineers (and vice versa) and what the advantages of combining requirements engineering and testing can be. He also addresses what testers should do to get this combined role. With agile becoming more and more popular this can be a possible future for testers.
The idea of combining requirements engineering and testing started with a vision. By now we have enough practical experience to show that is actually works! During the presentation Jan Jaap shares vision and practical experiences.
“Specification by Example” is a set of process patterns that helps to validate the application for faster feedback and minimal documentation. With Specification by Example, teams write just enough documenta- tion to facilitate change effectively in short iterations or in flow-based development.

Current Automation Purchasing Strategies Fall Short
End users today have a paradoxical relationship with their suppliers. Primary
business drivers in today’s environment include maximizing asset
utilization, enhancing plant performance, and reducing capital, maintenance,
and operational expenditures, but many manufacturers employ
purchasing strategies and supplier relationship management strategies developed
during the heyday of the 1980s. Rather than
focusing on achievement of today’s objectives, the
current environment is characterized by an approach
that relies primarily on initial cost, driving discounts
off list price, and failure to employ a lifecycle costing
perspective.

Conoco on Path to Reliability Centered Loop Management: Enhancing ROA on the WayARC Advisory Group
Conoco on Path to Reliability Centered Loop Management: Enhancing ROA on the Way
Process manufacturers have invested heavily in manufacturing plants and
automation systems. A typical manufacturing plant may have hundreds or
even thousands of regulatory control loops to enable safe and efficient operations.
The most complex units often have advanced process control and
optimization schemes implemented on top of these regulatory control
loops. All of these systems have a need for
tighter process control to enable more effective
use of assets that result in higher ROA and ultimately
better business performance and
profitability.
Unfortunately, automation effectiveness deteriorates
over time. The lack of a structured
methodology for control loop maintenance is a
contributing factor that erodes performance. A
manufacturing plant typically has only two or three control engineers who
each have responsibility for a large of number of loops, yet they often have
no means of identifying where to focus their efforts so that their work has
the largest economic impact on plant performance.

Collaborative Asset Lifecycle Management Vision and StrategiesARC Advisory Group
Collaborative Asset Lifecycle Management Vision and Strategies
Capital asset management is once again becoming a key managerial concern.
Organizations that have been focusing on developing new products,
expanding services, and making supply chains super-efficient are now facing
challenging markets and expensive overcapacity. Survival demands
that they reduce their cost basis and capital assets, one of their largest expenses,
which are becoming the target for these efforts.
Discussions about postponing asset purchases and eliminating non-critical
assets are dominating many executive agendas. But lack of information
makes any decision a gamble. The importance of an effective capital asset
management strategy that minimizes the need for such discussions and
enables executives to confidently make necessary
decisions is becoming painfully clear.
Manufacturers are used to market swings and frequently
adjust their product inventories to match
reduced demand forecasts. The rapidity of this
“inventory alignment” for the current situation is
clear testament to the effectiveness of new supply
chain management technology. But the persistence
of this slowdown is forcing all organizations
to consider the more complex issue of “structural
Closing the Gap on Digital Manufacturing
The concurrent engineering required for new product designs between design
engineering and manufacturing engineering has always been a critical
focal point for manufacturers to shorten time-to-market, accelerate time-tovolume,
and minimize cost of production. Today, collaboration between
product design (CAD) and manufacturing processes
(CAM) is a robust process due to tight
integration between CAD and CAM and the emergence
of extended PDM and PLM systems.
However, there has not been a corresponding
level of tight integration between CAD/CAM and
production management. But the benefits of exchanging
information between the product
definition domain and production management are becoming clear as
manufacturers move to a collaborative environment. Two leading PLM
suppliers, EDS and IBM/Dassault, have recently launched new programs
to integrate these disparate domains.

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).

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.
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.
