Mozilla QA has created a new feature called the Mozmill Crowd Extension that allows any Firefox user to automatically and effortlessly run our set of basic Mozmill functional test cases against their installed Firefox browser and report the results to our central reporting server. Any user in any locale can now participate in giving us valuable feedback on how their browser is operating in their environment. Mainly targeting the thousands of Firefox nightly testers, this extension will give Mozilla unprecedented insights on how a particular nightly build is working across the globe. In this session we will describe and demonstrate how the extension works, what data is collected from the tests and how the results are reported and analyzed.
Using Mozmill to run automated functional tests against Firefox. It also demonstrates the on-going work of the QA team to run those tests on a daily basis and how we analyze reported results.
TestWorks Conf Robot framework - the unsung hero of test automation - Michael...Xebia Nederland BV
The Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance test-driven development, that appears to be largely neglected.
Undeservedly so, as it facilitates powerful and yet simple test automation against a variety of interfaces.
It features some distinct advantages when compared to seemingly similar frameworks such as Cucumber or Fitnesse.
This workshop is meant to show you what makes the Robot Framework special and what is has to offer you.

Acceptance testing plone sites and add ons with robot framework and seleniumAsko Soukka
Acceptance tests are high-level tests to verify the completeness of user stories (end user features) for a developed product. It is said that while lower level unit and integration tests confirm that the product has been made right, only the acceptance tests confirm that the product actually does the right thing.
Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development. The key feature of Robot Framework is its extensible test syntax, which allows to write tests in a business-readable domain-specific language, including BDD (behavior driven development) style for executable acceptance criteria.
Selenium is a browser automation framework. It allows to use real browsers in acceptance testing so that all effects of CSS and JavaScript taken into account, including possible differences between different browsers.
This talk walks through alternative ways for using Robot Framework and Selenium to perform acceptance testing, including
* testing live sites (readonly)
* testing sandboxed Plone sites with live data (beforestorage + demostorage)
* testing sandboxed Plone add-ons (plone.app.testing + plone.app.robotframework)

Automated Testing with Docker on Steroids - nlOUG TechExperience 2018 (Amersf...Lucas Jellema
Automated testing is important. We all know that we should do it. We also know that this can be painful, for many reasons. One of the most agonizing aspects of automated testing is the handling of the data. In order to run even the simplest of tests against the user interface, a service or API or even a PL/SQL unit typically requires that a proper starting point needs to be established in the database with respect to the data. Complex set up steps need to prepare various records to ensure the test can even start and afterwards in similarly complex tear down scripts we have to clean up after the test.
This session demonstrates how this hardship can be a thing of the past. Using snapshots of a test database in a Docker container with a managed test data set that supports all tests, we can create automated tests without any set up or tear down effort. These tests can run very fast, concurrently, and whenever and wherever you like them to run. This way of working opens up much higher test coverage and much increased productivity for developers and testers.

What I Learned From Writing a Test Framework (And Why I May Never Write One A...Daryl Walleck
During my seven year adventure at Rackspace, I've had the opportunity to work on several large projects with the responsibility of driving the technical direction of our test automation efforts. In that time I had the opportunity to work on several testing frameworks, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. In this talk, I step back to several of these key moments and describe the challenges I faced and how those challenges changed the way I approach test automation today.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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).
