QA engineers are involved in each phase of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to improve quality and identify issues early. The six phases are planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. In planning, QA engineers can identify potential bugs in new features. In design, they can find problems with the design that could cause bugs. During implementation, QA highlights potential user experience issues. Testing involves writing test cases and bug reports. For deployment, QA conducts smoke testing after release. Maintenance is an ongoing process where QA works to prevent bugs from being released.

How to Performing DevBox.pptx
DevBox testing involves a quality engineer validating, testing, and verifying a software feature directly on a developer's machine. This allows the quality engineer to gain a stronger technical understanding of the product and identify issues earlier. Some benefits are enhanced communication, confidence in the feature, and avoiding trivial bugs later in the process. Successful DevBox testing requires acceptance criteria, test scopes, and preconditions to be defined early and the developer to demonstrate the feature to the quality engineer on a prepared staging environment.

The Definitive Guide to Implementing Shift Left Testing in QA
In today's digital world, even though most of the projects are following the Agile methodology, often testers might not get enough time to quantify the problem scope and test the product effectively. Even if a sprint lasts for two weeks, the QA team would get the complete functionality for testing, only two or three days before the sprint completion. Eventually, the QA team would have to rush the testing, struggle for test completion and even end up with improper test coverage and bugs being leaked into production. So the testing phase is often considered as a bottleneck for the release by the management.
Studies done by analysts suggest that the maximum number of defects occur during the requirement
and design phase of the software development life cycle. More than half of the defects occur during the
requirement and design phase of the SDLC, i.e 56% of the total defects. Out of this 56%, 23% occurs during the design phase, 7% in the development phase and 10% defects emerge during the other phases. 2019 witnessed test automation going mainstream with 44% of IT organizations automating more than 50% of
all testing and these figures are expected to go up in the upcoming years. Thus it becomes highly necessary to step up the testing game and ensure that it is done quite efficiently and this is where Shift Left Testing comes into play. Detecting defects early in the software development cycle can prove to be very crucial in regards to cost and efficiency.
This whitepaper discusses how shift left testing could help you reimagine the entire QA testing process.

Shift Left - Approach and practices with IBM
"Shift Left" is a DevOps practice that provides an effective means to perform testing with or in parallel to development activities.
When shifting left, development, test and operations work together to plan, manage and execute automated and continuous testing to accelerate feedback to developers and improve the quality of changes early in the life-cycle. The rate of the accelerated feedback is determined by an organization’s desired outcomes for velocity of changes and capacity for feedback.
Adm Initial Proposal
This document proposes adopting an iterative development methodology that borrows from agile techniques like Scrum and XP. It suggests dividing projects into shorter 30-day iterations, with features estimated and designed at the start of each iteration. At the end of an iteration, working code would be completed along with automated testing. This approach aims to provide more accurate estimates, earlier feedback, better designed features, and more predictable development cycles compared to the current waterfall model. Key aspects to retain include code reviews, continuous integration, testing, and transparency of work.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

SDLC from a QA Engineer’s perspective.pdf
- 1. SDLCfrom a QA Engineer’s perspective Presenter: Nabeel Asghar
- 2. Why involve QA Engineer in each phase - QA engineers have a clear overview of the entire SDLC process - They can point out inefficiencies and gaps in the beginning - A good QA engineer not only improves the quality of the product but also the process used to develop it
- 3. SDLC phases Generally, SDLC is split between these 6 phases 1. Planning 2. Design 3. Implementation 4. Testing 5. Deployment 6. Maintenance
- 4. Planning QA Engineers can weigh in on new features. They can point out potential issues with user experience that may even affect the team’s decision to either a. Enhance its usability b. Eliminate possibilities for potential bugs c. Split the feature to reduce complexity d. Drop it entirely, incase it could jeopardize the product
- 5. Design In design phase, QA Engineers can identify aspects of the design that might cause problems (while they’re still in-progress). This enables the designer to make changes on the fly. ‘But’ if QA doesn’t see design-related problems until the official testing phase, ‘Either’ adjustments have to be made after further confirmation & discussions ‘OR’ design have to be redone
- 6. Implementation QA could highlight the potential impacts on user experience like a. What to do in-terms of handling scenarios where certain processing time is necessary to show results b. Adjust content in layout according to viewport restrictions c. What should be expected behavior if current functionality is affecting its siblings
- 7. Testing Beyond the ‘obvious’. QA has to do multiple tasks and sometimes manage them in parallel. Some of them are a. Writing test case b. Automate them c. Writing bug reports d. Provide technical support e. Keeping track of all updates
- 8. Deployment Based on deployment strategy, QA Engineers need to be on standby. As soon as the release goes live, QA again jumps into gear to conduct smoke testing. To make sure the deploy didn’t cause any issues.
- 9. Maintenance It's an ongoing ‘Rinse and repeat’ cycle Sometimes bugs do get released because prevention can not be guaranteed 100% QA Engineer is supposed to do maintenance throughout the cycle to keep the product in best shape
