Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Have you ever been confused by the myriad of choices offered by AWS for hosting a website or an API?
Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail, Amplify, S3 (and more!) can each host websites + APIs. But which one should we choose?
Which one is cheapest? Which one is fastest? Which one will scale to meet our needs?
Join me in this session as we dive into each AWS hosting service to determine which one is best for your scenario and explain why!
2. Let’s start with some assumptions!
§ We assume that we are dealing with organisations that have
PRINCE2 and want to run Agile projects
§ We assume that you are NOT an Agile organisation who wants to
adopt PRINCE2!
§ We assume that you already know a bit about Agile
3. So, just what is PRINCE2?
§ Was created in 1996 by a UK Government agency (OGC – Office
Government Commerce)
§ Intended to create a standard approach for managing government
projects
§ Is now used throughout the UK and in over 50 countries worldwide
§ “It is designed to be applied to any type of project – and can easily
be implemented alongside specialist, industry specific models
(e.g. development lifecycles)” – (Managing Successful Projects with Prince2, OGC,
2009)
4. PRINCE2 has seven principles
§ Continued business justification
§ Learn from experience
§ Defined roles & responsibilities
§ Manage by stages
§ Manage by exception
§ Focus on products
§ Tailor to suit the environment
5. PRINCE2 has seven themes
§ ‘The Why’ – Business Case
§ ‘The Who’ – Organisation
§ ‘The What’ - Quality
§ ‘The How, How Much & When’ – Plans
§ ‘The What-if’ - Risk
§ ‘The Impact’ - Change
§ ‘The Progress’ – Monitoring and escalation
6. PRINCE2 projects have four phases
§ Starting a Project
§ Initiating a Project
§ Managing Stages within a Project
§ Closing a Project
7. PRINCE2 focuses on products
§ Benefits Review Plan § Configuration Item Records
§ Business Case § Daily Log
§ Communications Management § Issue Register
Strategy § Lessons Log
§ Configuration Management Strategy § Quality Register
§ Project Plan § Risk Register
§ Product Description § Checkpoint Report
§ Project Brief § End Project Report
§ Project Initiation Document § End Stage Report
§ Project Product Description § Exception Report
§ Quality Management Strategy § Highlight Report
§ Risk Management Strategy § Issue Report
§ Work Package § Lessons Report
§ Product Status Account
8. PRINCE2 focuses on products

§ Project Initiation Document § End Stage Report
§ Project Product Description § Exception Report
§ Quality Management Strategy § Highlight Report
§ Risk Management Strategy § Issue Report
§ Work Package § Lessons Report
§ Product Status Account
10. A (little) bit about Agile…
§ Agile Manifesto created in 2001
§ Lots of different flavours
– SCRUM
– XP
– DSDM
– Atern
§ Now considered a ‘mainstream’ software delivery approach
