The document describes a situation where an existing internet banking system for a bank is in need of replacement. It outlines problems with the current system such as only providing read-only access, slightly outdated information, and limited features. It presents a vision for a new system that provides real-time access, ability to perform transactions online, a rich user experience, and meets accessibility standards. Functional and non-functional requirements, principles, and constraints for the new system are to be explored to guide the design options.
Software Failure Modes Effects Analysis is a method of identifying what can go wrong with the software. Software testing generally focuses on the positive test cases. The SFMEA focuses on analyzing what can go wrong.
Branching Your Way to Low-Code PerfectionOutSystems
With the introduction of code branching into the OutSystems platform, development teams have the flexibility to collaborate more effectively. From feature branches, to refactoring, to hotfixing production code, OutSystems’ new branching capability allows you to maintain power of built-in dependency analysis along with flexibility that multiple parallel code lines enables.
What do you mean by Requirements?
A requirement is:
A condition or capability needed by a stakeholder to solve a problem or achieve an objective.
A condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a solution or solution component to satisfy a contract , standard, specification, or other formally imposed documents.
A documented representation of a condition or capability as mentioned above.

Simon Brown is coming to the UK to teach his Software Architecture for Developers Workshop in April, so we asked him if he could give a free talk on software architecture for our community. Simon agreed to give a talk exploring the question "Architecture, where do you start?".
Agile Software Architecture
Containing a review of "Why?" software architecture exists as a discipline; a fleet discussion of Fairbanks' risk driven architecture approach; and 2 Top Techniques from Coplien & Bjørnvig's Partitioning Principles for Architecture for Agile Delivery.
Culminating in a Proposal for how an architecture can enable continuous agile delivery.
Also some Ways To Do It Wrong.
Featuring the amazing Conway's Law, and such Horrors as the 15 Layer Architecture.
Slides from a presentation given by Paul Turner to meetings of IIBA UK on 16 July and 12 August 2014.
Much has been written about technical and solution architectures, without due attention being given to how these work together with the Business Architecture.
It is easy to believe that those who are involved in business analysis, requirements definition and systems modelling do not need to consider the Business Architecture at all. This could not be further from the truth. This talk explains the rationale behind Business Architecture, what its main components are and why Business Analysts should ensure that they understand it and the influence it is likely to have on their work.

Executive Summary
Worthy & Heatley University has been usingused a manual library system since September of 1993. Due to the huge response of students that registered for the summer quarter, which was unexpected, the project manager has found finds it hard to provide current information for the instructors to make sure they have all of the required textbooks for their discipline of study. Comment by CC: Provide specifics. We want to create a baseline to start. “Huge” is too vague.
The management team proposed a solution which is to computerize the library system so that it will lessen the work load of the librarian. The student’s will be able to log into their accounts via a secure website and display book information for the present quarter. There will be different screens which will allow the students to update files and information will be updated within 24 hours. Comment by CC: Please review this for grammar. Ending a sentence with “ok” is not a formal ending to professional writing. I suggest having a peer review further submissions for other suggestions.
Worthy & Heatley University has accomplished a great deal in our community, so it gives me great pleasure to show how different parts of the operation functioned. It is due ti ...

What if Virtual Reality glasses could transform your environment into a three-dimensional work of art in realtime in the style of a painting from Van Gogh? One of the many interesting developments in the field of Deep Learning is the so called "Style Transfer". It describes a possibility to create a patchwork (or pastiche) from two images. While one of these images defines the the artistic style of the result picture, the other one is used for extracting the image content. A team from TNG Technology Consulting managed to build an AI showcase using OpenCV and Tensorflow to realize such goggles.

Blockchain (and Cryptocurrency) is an evolution of 20-year old research from scientists like Chaum, Lamport, and Castro & Liskov. Due to the current hype, it's hard to distinguish beneficial aspects of the technology from a desire for a "silver bullet" for device security, verifiable logistics, or "saving democracy". The problem: blockchain introduces new security challenges - and blind adoption without understanding reduces overall security. In this talk, Melanie Rieback and Klaus Kursawe explain the pitfalls and limits of blockchain, so you can avoid making your applications LESS secure.
Angelo van der Sijpt - How well do you know your network stack? - Codemotion ...Codemotion
Networking is a core part of computing in the digital world we inhabit. But, how well do you know how it works? Do you understand all the moving parts of the OSI stack inside your computer, and how the network is actually put together? How can this ever work? This guided safari of layers, standards, protocols, and happenstance will bring us close to the copper wire, and up through the layers of CDMA/CD, ARP, routing and HTTP. We will make a few excursions through patchworks that still work forty years later, and cleverly designed mechanisms that show that simplicity is the only way to last.
Lars Wolff - Performance Testing for DevOps in the Cloud - Codemotion Amsterd...Codemotion
Performance tests are not only an important instrument for understanding a system and its runtime environment. It is also essential in order to check stability and scalability – non-functional requirements that might be decisive for success. But won't my cloud hosting service scale for me as long as I can afford it? Yes, but… It only operates and scales resources. It won't automatically make your system fast, stable and scalable. This talk shows how such and comparable questions can be clarified with performance tests and how DevOps teams benefit from regular test practise.

Chinese food exploded across America in the early 20th century, rapidly adapting to local tastes while also spreading like wildfire. How was it able to spread so fast? The GY6 is a family of scooter engines that has achieved near total ubiquity in Europe. It is reliable and cheap to manufacture, and it's made in factories across China. How are these factories able to remain afloat? Chinese-American food and the GY6 are both riveting studies in product-market fit, and both are the product of a distributed open source-like development model. What lessons can we learn for open source software?

Dave Farley - Taking Back “Software Engineering” - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
Would you fly in a plane designed by a craftsman or would you prefer your aircraft to be designed by engineers? We are learning that science and empiricism works in software development, maybe now is the time to redefine what “Software Engineering” really means. Software isn't bridge-building, it is not car or aircraft development either, but then neither is Chemical Engineering. Engineering is different in different disciplines. Maybe it is time for us to begin thinking about retrieving the term "Software Engineering" maybe it is time to define what our "Engineering" discipline should be.

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.

The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
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.

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).

My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
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.

33. 1. Current Situation
We have an existing Internet Banking offering that allows customers to securely view
information about their bank accounts held with us via the web. Although we were one of the
first to market with such a product, the system itself is a number of years old now and a series
of problems has been identified during a consulting exercise that we recently initiated. In
summary:
• The system only provides customers with read-only access to information about their
bank accounts. This includes account balances, recent transactions and recent
statements.
• The information presented to customers is slightly out-of-date, because information from
the core banking system is exported to the website on a nightly basis.
• Transactional requests are not possible through the site, with customers instead sending
a secure message to the call centre with their request instead. This process is open to
abuse and fraud.
• The number of features supported by the offering is limited.
• The technology is no longer seen as “leading edge”, is hard to enhance and costly to
maintain. In addition, the technology has reached “end of life” and is no longer
proactively supported by the vendor.
• The system doesn’t meet current website accessibility standards.
In a recent survey, our Internet Banking system was perceived as poor in terms of the user
experience and the level of information available through the website. With our competitors
now offering fully transactional systems, there is a risk that we will lose business.
2. Vision
The board have given us the go-ahead to initiate a project to replace the current Internet
Banking system, which will need to coincide with the corporate rebranding that will be taking
place in 12 weeks. The replacement system should:
• Provide customers with real-time access to information about their bank accounts.
• Provide customers with the ability to perform common transactions through the website.
This includes making payments, setting up standing orders, transferring money and so on.
• Provide customers with a rich user experience.
• Meet current website accessibility standards.
• Be developed using the new corporate website design guidelines.

53. Context
• What are we building?
• Who is using it? (users, actors, roles, personas, etc)
• How does it fit into the existing IT environment?
54. • What are the high-level technology decisions?
• How do containers communicate with one another?
• As a developer, where do I need to write code?
Containers
55. Components
• What components/services is the system made up of?
• Is it clear how the system works at a high-level?
• Do all components have a home (a container)?
56. Some tips for
effective sketches
Titles
Short and meaningful, numbered if
diagram order is important
Lines
Make line style and arrows explicit,
add annotations to lines to provide
additional information
Layout
Sticky notes and index cards make a
great substitute for drawn boxes,
especially early on
Labels
Be wary of using acronyms
Colour
Ensure that colour coding
is made explicit
Orientation
Users at the top and database at the
bottom? Or perhaps “upside-down”?
Shapes
Don’t assume that people will
understand what different shapes
are being used for
Borders
Use borders to provide emphasis
or group related items,
but ensure people know why
Keys
Explain shapes, lines, colours,
borders, acronyms, etc
Responsibilities
Adding responsibilities to boxes can
provide a nice “at a glance” view
(Miller’s Law; 7±2)

are an excellent way to
