Software projects’ past goes back to four or more decades. We encounter the first software project risk management paper in 1991[1] and the study [2] reports that in 1995 US spent $250 billion to software projects and these projects had estimated $59 billion in cost overruns and another $81 billion had spent on canceled software projects.Although failures are tremendous, we have observed the project risks and critical success factors are given like shopping lists and so the remedies of risk factors. Very few studies exist for searching the relationships of these risk factors and the relationship between remedies and risk factors. We are trying to construct a simple model of risks and remedies borrowing concepts from systems and control theory.
Webinar - Is your Web Application Performance Doomed?Compuware APM
Is your Web Application Performance Doomed?
How issues with browsers, cloud services, third-party providers, the Internet, and your data center can impact your performance – and what you can do about it.
Delivery of applications to your users has rapidly evolved into a complex Web application delivery chain that spans from your data center to the myriad combinations of browsers that run on your users' devices.
However, Application Performance Management tools have not kept up with this evolution.
You probably use single-perspective monitoring tools that are hampered by blind spots across the Web application delivery chain and cannot provide end-user or business transaction perspectives. Point solutions cannot work together to isolate the root cause of problems inside or outside the firewall, quantify the business impact, or help in rapidly fixing high priority issues.
Relying on these tools often results in internal war room and blame game sessions and even more importantly end-user frustration, lost revenues, a tarnished brand, and increased costs.
What's needed is a new APM strategy - one that unifies active and real-user monitoring to give you complete First Mile (data center) to Last Mile (end user) visibility and diagnostics.
Join Forrester Vice President, Principal Analyst, Jean-Pierre Garbani and Compuware Gomez CTO, Imad Mouline, to learn strategies and best practices for eliminating blind spots across the Web application deliver chain.
In this session, the application performance management experts will discuss:
• Complexities of today's application deliver and the impact on IT and business
• Evolution of APM and limitations of today's APM tools
• Best practices for unifying your APM strategy

Virtualization infrastructure in financial services rully feranataRully Feranata
Over many years, the IT function in financial institutions has evolved from a mere transactional tool into
a pervasive, integral element of virtually every aspect of doing business. This transformation has
constituted a fundamental, structural change in the financial services arena and has put IT performance
at the top of the CEO’s agenda at most banks and insurance companies.
It’s happening company-wide: Different divisions, from accounting to purchasing, are looking to cut down on costs and reduce inefficiencies in an attempt to ride out the latest economic tides. This belt-tightening attitude can be seen in the significant layoffs of recent years, and in the aversion companies have toward participating in internal projects that do not yield an earnest return on investment. The result is that the same divisions that once relied on more staff to share the workload, or those which were better equipped to handle their responsibilities, are now using workarounds just to get the job done.

Disaster Recovery: Develop Efficient Critique for an Emergencysco813f8ko
Disaster recovery will be the procedure, policies and procedures that are associated with getting yourself ready for recovery or continuation of technologies infrastructure that are vital for an organization following a natural or human-induced catastrophe. Disaster recovery is really a subset connected with business continuity. While business continuity entails planning for maintaining all facets of a company functioning in the midst of bothersome occasions, disaster recovery targets the IT or technology techniques that support company features.

Introduction to CAST HIGHLIGHT - Rapid Application Portfolio AnalysisCAST
CAST Highlight is the SaaS platform to track software health, cloud readiness, complexity and cost of your software portfolio using predictive pattern analysis.
It will analyze the frequency of bad code pattern in application.By combining code quality metrics and indicators with information gathered from your development experts, CAST HIGHLIGHT identifies the critical systems that have high probability of failure or maintenance risk. This rapid discovery and classification of your systems and potential vulnerabilities allows you to divert resources for further investigation, root cause analysis, or reallocation to prevent failures.
Over the past five years, companies of all sizes have been under increased pressure to improve IT efficiency and effectiveness.
IDC customer-based studies show that each year, the average midsize company experiences 15–18 business hours of network, system, or application downtime. Causes of downtime vary, but aging systems can have components or software that fail, while network connections and power grids can fail at any time because of external causes (e.g., weather, construction work, or natural disaster). Outages occurring during business hours result in revenue loss, as orders are dropped, customers move on, and employees cannot access critical applications. IDC research found that revenue losses per hour averaged $75,000. However, the adoption of best practices has allowed midsize companies to reduce downtime significantly in recent years. Solutions that improve system management, protect data assets from loss and unauthorized access, strengthen network security, and ensure availability directly reduce these losses at customer sites.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) exists in every enterprise. It is often a low priority for IT managers until changes to the business make a very real, and very expensive, project. The real cost of a failed ERP initiative is IT careers. ERP is always challenging, so IT leaders must determine which of three strategies are most appropriate:
•Stick. Maintain the existing system and establish a date to revisit the strategy.
•Augment. Stay on the existing ERP platform, but augment with additional modules, custom development, or bolt-ons.
•Rip & Replace. Initiate the move to a new ERP system.
The best way to develop an ERP plan is through an annual audit that assesses the priorities of the enterprise and capabilities of the existing ERP platform. Use this storyboard and associated tools to get your ERP strategy on the right track.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
