Automed .NET Performance Testing with NBenchpetabridge
Not long ago in Akka.NET-land we had an issue occur where users noticed a dramatic drop in throughput in Akka.Remote’s message processing pipeline - and to make matters worse, this occurred in a production release of AKka.NET!
Yikes, how did that happen?
The answer is that although you can use unit tests and code reviews to detect functional problems with code changes and pull requests, using those same mechanisms to detect performance problems with code is utterly ineffective. Even skilled developers who have detailed knowledge about the internals of the .NET framework and CLR are unable to correctly predict how changes to code will impact its performance.
Hence why we developed NBench - a .NET performance-testing, stress-testing, and benchmarking framework for .NET applications that works and feels a lot like a unit test.
Performance Testing is a type of testing to ensure software applications will perform well under their expected workload.
It evaluates the quality or capability of a product. Take your Performance Tests to next level with Gatling!

How to reduce cold starts for Java Serverless applications in AWS at JCON Wor...Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless Community. Java is known for its high cold start times which may heavily impact the latencies of your application. But the times change: Community and AWS as a cloud providers improve things steadily for Java developers. In this talk we look at the best practices, features and possibilities AWS offers for the Java developers to reduce the cold start times like GraalVM Native Image and AWS Lambda SnapStart based on CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) project.
Whether you're creating a totally customized UI, blending data from various sources, or using frameworks such as Angular and Backbone, there are many situations where you might need to make heavy use of Javascript. Join us as we offer an introduction to Javascript-heavy development in Salesforce, and present tips and tricks to make development easier and make your code scalable, testable, and efficiently integrated with Salesforce.
[FullStack NYC 2019] Effective Unit Tests for JavaScriptHazem Saleh
Unit testing coverage is a great way to show us the amount of tested lines and branches of code, but is this really enough? The answer is "no" since unit testing coverage does not really fully measure the efficiency of the unit tests. This is why there is a need for using techniques that can improve unit tests efficiency. Mutation testing is one of these powerful techniques. The main idea of mutation testing is to automatically insert bugs (mutants) into production code and then run unit tests to check if they are strong enough to fail as a result of these mutations.
This session discusses mutation testing techniques and demonstrates Stryker as a powerful mutation testing tool for JavaScript applications.
Java Attacks & Defenses - End of Year 2010 PresentationJames Hamilton
Decompilation is a problem for the software industry, with the global revenue loss due to software piracy estimated to be more than $50 billion in 2008. There are several Java decompilers available but none are 100% effective, and many are obsolete/unmaintained. We found Java Decompiler, JODE and Dava to be good Java decompilers but not perfect. Dava is particularily suited to aribtrary bytecode, while others are suited to javac generated bytecode.
Static watermarking techniques can be used to protect a program from being copied by giving the ability to easily identify the owner of such software. However, static watermarking techniques are higher susceptible to semantics-preserving transformations. We show that the majority of the current implementations of watermarking systems are based on static techniques are fail when attacked with obfuscations and optimisations. Further work will involve evaluating dynamic watermarking algorithms in a similar manner, and compare them to their static counterparts.
Techniques such as program slicing can be used to attack software watermarks, in subtractive attacks on software.

Is it tuning the garbage collector? Writing clean(er) code?
No, the first step is understanding what’s going on in your application!
Performance tuning starts with analysis, and JDK tools can help you gain insights on classes and threads and can perform live GC analysis or heap dump postprocessing: jcmd, jconsole, jstat, jmap and jfr.
We’ll examine the functional visibility areas essential to Java and how these tools provide that information. Moreover, will discuss options on how to integrate information gathered from these tools with widespread monitoring systems like Prometheus.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).

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.

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.
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).
