SharePoint has evolved to such an extent that end users are now capable of developing solutions themselves. However – this leaves a gap in the “food chain”. Where did all the BA’s go – and who’s getting the users up to scratch? It’s easy to ‘build’ SharePoint solutions – but are they building it right?
In this session I'll show you why it's important to spend 80% of your time on the Design and only 20% on the Build – and how this will affect your system adoption.

Session for ESPC22 - 29 Nov 2022
How autonomy in the modern workplace has changed the way we work, forever (new)
One of my favourite sayings is "Products don't fix problems, people fix problems with products". Might sound like it makes sense, but very few companies are applying this logic. With exponential advancement in technology, we're experiencing unprecedented breakthroughs in our systems, but at the same time our employees are becoming slower and more frustrated while using this technology.
In this session Tracy would cover elements that could be causing this, and possible solutions to overcome and move forward:
· Paying for the mistakes made in the last 20+ years
· Autonomy in the modern workplace
· The era of the digital citizen
· Upgrading your training and support systems
It's not adoption we're after. Usage implies the use of technology, adoption will be the efficient use of technology, what is needed is to create and nurture digital citizens who are responsible and efficient users of the given technologies. Attending this session will change the way you look at the modern workplace.

My session for #MSIgniteTheTour Copenhagen on the 28th of February 2020. #HumansofIT
I truly believe the most important part of inclusion to be self-inclusion. For too many years I put myself down, believing I wasn't good enough, passed up on opportunities. With an imposter spirit inside my head who saw approval & praise as pity. Sound familiar?
I always say that we don't have to be perfect in everything, it's about "surrounding ourselves with people who don't suck at the things we suck at". The #HumansofIT #Community gives us the support we need to overcome these fears and insecurities, we just need to accept the helping hand & learn to be vulnerable. In this session I'll share 7 coping mechanisms that I use to get through every day and keep that negative energy at bay.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.

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.

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:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
