SourceWarp is a scalable approach to support data-driven decision making for CI/CD tools and DevSecOps platforms. It allows running experiments on these systems by replaying commit histories from source code repositories without deploying features. This evaluates features through testing and benchmarking. An industrial case study at GitLab evaluated a new vulnerability tracking approach using SourceWarp. It replayed commits from GitLab's source code repository on systems with and without the feature. SourceWarp completed the experiment faster than deploying the feature and provided metrics showing the impact of vulnerability tracking on error reduction.
SCM Transformation Challenges and How to Overcome ThemCompuware
If your enterprise is focused on continuously improving quality, velocity and efficiency, you’re going to win against those that aren’t. Driving improvements on the mainframe, and in turn throughout the business, requires the transformation of three things: culture, processes and tools. In other words, changing mindsets, implementing modern practices (Agile, DevOps, CI/CD) and replacing outdated technology.
Mainframe source code management is currently a critical area in need of modernization and should be one of the initial tooling changes organizations make when setting out to improve mainframe systems delivery.
During this session, Compuware specialist Lars-Erik Berglund shares the challenges organizations face with mainframe source code management and what you can do to overcome those.

Building functional Quality Gates with ReportPortalDmitriy Gumeniuk
Presented at SeleniumConf 2023, this talk explores the experience of building Quality Gates using ReportPortal.io for a test regression suite with 200,000 test cases. The discussion highlights the distinctions between functional and non-functional quality gates, explaining why Sonarqube's Quality Gates may be insufficient. It also outlines how to break down the regression structure to organize execution sequences controlled by quality gate checks. These checks are based on various factors, including functional application aspects, test failure types, test case priorities, tested components, user flows, and more—providing a comprehensive approach to ensuring software quality.

Engineering DevOps Right the First TimeMarc Hornbeek
Companies with high-performing IT organizations are twice as likely to exceed their profitability, market share and productivity goals. These are impressive results which every business would like to accomplish before competitors beat them to it. Only a minority of enterprises are achieving high-performance DevOps implementations. Many are struggling to realize DevOps at all, at the level of business units and enterprise. An engineering approach for businesses and enterprises to implement DevOps, at the business or enterprise level meets specific business transformation goals in the fastest time with the least cost and without false starts. An engineering approach which leads to DevOps success quickly and without false starts will be presented. A unique one-of-a-kind physical model of an electro-mechanical DevOps machine and results of DevOps pipeline software simulations will be displayed and used to demonstrate the principles of DevOps stage optimizations.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS FOR PERFORMANCE COMPARISONijseajournal
Performance responsiveness and scalability is a make-or-break quality for software. Nearly everyone runs into performance problems at one time or another. This paper discusses about performance issues faced during Pre Examination Process Automation System (PEPAS) implemented in java technology. The challenges faced during the life cycle of the project and the mitigation actions performed. It compares 3 java technologies and shows how improvements are made through statistical analysis in response time of the application. The paper concludes with result analysis.
Software Testing is the last phase in software development lifecycle which has high impact on the quality of the final product delivered to the customer. Even after being a critical phase, it was not given the importance as it actually deserves. The schedule constraints and slippage carry forwarded from the previous phase also make the testing phase more torrent. History reveals that the situation has changed with time, wherein testing is now visualized as one of the most critical, phase of software development. This makes software testing a discipline which demands for continuous and systematic growth. Software testing is a trade-off between Cost, Time and Quality.
Our team just released Keptn (https://keptn.sh/), an open source framework for event-based, automated continuous operations in cloud-native environments. In this session, we will talk about WHY we built Keptn, HOW we implemented it (Architecture) and where we want the community to take it.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and implement an e- commerce website.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

5. Background
- Agile: shorten the design phase of software; iterate quickly;
establish feedback cycle with user/customer.
- Development Security Operations (DevSecOps): Builds on
agile philosophy; focus on technical practice with
cross-functional teams.
- Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD): focus
on tools; provide automation around software (managed by
Source Code Management Systems (SCM)).
- Data-Driven Decision Making (DDDM): Validating a feature to
make a qualified assessment about its quality/performance.

12. Motivation
- DevSecOps Platforms are heterogeneous.
- Partially integration proof-of-concepts not
necessarily robust product feature may have a
negative impact on the stability of the entire
platform.
- A feature has to be shipped before its impact can
be measured.
12
13. Motivation
- Reduce Velocity?
- Not an option in an Agile setting.
- Feature Flags, A/B testing, Canary testing?
- Not designed to provide preliminary insights
before deployment and (ideally) while building
the feature.
- Not deeply integrated with SCM systems.
13
14. SourceWarp
- SCM driven testing and benchmarking approach.
- Run an experiment on DevSecOps and/or CI/CD
tools without having to deploy the feature to
staging or production; collect metrics;
Data-driven decision making (DDDM).
- Quickly (re-)run experiments parallel to the
feature development which is especially useful
in an Agile context.
14
16. Data-Driven Decision Making
- Observability: Code in SCM changes over time.
- Reproducibility: Re(-run) the same testing and
benchmarking exercise on different systems.
- Scalability: Scale to large SCMs with long histories
(MLOC).
- Configurable Granularity: Cherry-picking
test-data and configuring the granularity with
which the tests are executed and metrics are
collected.
16
24. Monitor
1. Initialize new target SCM repository based on the
source SCM history (before the first patch that
includes the first relevant commit).
2. Replay patch sequence on the target SUT (chain of
CI/CD tools or pipeline, DevSecOps platform or a
combination of them).
3. Observe/Monitor the behaviour of target system
during the replay, check for errors (Testing) and
collect metrics (Benchmarking).

26. Industrial Case Study - Vulnerability Tracking
- Vulnerability Tracking is an automated process
that helps deduplicating and tracking
vulnerabilities throughout the lifetime of a
software project.
- A vulnerability is identified by means of a
fingerprint.
26
27. Industrial Case Study - Vulnerability Tracking
- Code Volatility: Source code is volatile; as
developers make changes, source code may move
within files or between files.
- Double Reporting: Already reported vulnerabilities
that are being tracked in the Vulnerability Report.
If the code fragments are not tracked reliably as
they move, vulnerability management is harder
because the same vulnerability could be reported
again.
27
28. Industrial Case Study - Feature
- At GitLab, we have implemented a new
Vulnerability Tracking approach initially as a
proof-of-concept (PoC) to reduce the negative
effect (noise) of both double reporting as well as
code volatility.
- We needed evidence about the performance of the
feature before deploying it.
28
29. Evaluation Setup
- Equipped dockerized Ruby SAST tool brakeman
with vulnerability tracking: one version with
(brakeman+VT) and one version without tracking
(brakeman).
- GitLab source repository (3.7MLOC, history 200K
commit) between 2020-10-31 – 2020-12-31 and
allow-list of 60 relevant files.
29
30. Evaluation Setup
- We replayed the slice of the Git history on the two
target systems running brakeman (old
fingerprinting) and brakeman+VT using
SourceWarp.

31. Research Questions
- RQ1: Is SourceWarp effective in
supporting DDDM?
- RQ2: What is the impact of the allow-list
and the patch sampling number?

34. Research Questions
- RQ1: Is SourceWarp effective in
supporting DDDM? Yes
- Performed experiment (to measure overhead,
cost savings and robustness) in a fully
automated and reproducible manner.
- Collected all the required data to make an
informed decision about the product
integration of Vulnerability Tracking.
34
35. Research Questions
- RQ2: What is the impact of the allow-list
and the patch sampling number?
- allow-list: (~61h) → (~3h)
- patch-sampling: (~18m)
35
36. Research Questions
- RQ2: What is the impact of the allow-list
and the patch sampling number?
- Reduce the benchmarking and testing time
from days to hours. This shows that these
heuristics enable SourceWarp to scale to
large, heterogeneous DevSecOps
platforms.
