These are the slides for the presentation, "Component Testing: Bridging the gap between frontend applications" that was presented at QA or the Highway 2024 in Columbus, OH by Zachary Hamm.
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. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
Â
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or âcognitiveâ gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI â and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques â could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr indexâs metadata.
This approach leverages the LLMâs ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

technology action plan
1. Technology Action Plan
⊠General Focus: Maximizing the use of technology to impact decision making in instructional and
organizational leadership and professional development.
Our country has taken a more aggressive approach to technological advancement than in years past. Research
indicates that âsince 1999, Congress has devoted over $275 million to the Preparing Tomorrowâs Teachers to Use
Technology programâ (Royer, 2002, p. 233). The allocation of funds as indicated by our government sends a clear
message that technology drives our future and we must prepare for it. The expectations of students to possess high
levels of technology experience are increasing in accordance with the educational output and future contributions to
society.
As indicated in the Week 3 Report, the District and Campus Improvement Plans reflect over 7 different technology-
based software programs being utilizing at the elementary grade level to provide integral educational support for
learners in reading, math and writing for grade levels K-5. This is essential to build a strong foundation for all
students including those with special needs to progress academically. Continued use of these programs in
conjunction with weekly supervised internet research-based projects will be significant in providing our students
with a 21st century education.
⊠Instructional and Organizational focus: To increase access to technology for students and teachers while
improving overall classroom interaction and enhancing the learning environment. Campus Leadership must
be pioneers and technology advocates in creating the standards and expectations for staff to imitate.
Administrators must focus on ensuring that technology integration is a priority with the goal of ârevolutionizing
classroom teaching practices that create learning environments capable of preparing a new generation of learners for
a 21st century workplace driven by the acquisition and manipulation of informationâ (Mills, Tincher, 2003, p.
383-384). Clearly this approach necessitates the proper resources and the education of leaders, as well as the staff
and faculty, in order to grow professionally and become equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills.
My campus interviews reflected the vital need of staff to no longer be complacent in being a âtechnology immigrantâ
and focus on developing skills to identify with that of a âtechnology nativeâ. The District Technology Plan revealed
over $46,000,000 in bond funds allocated to upgrade, replace and purchase technological tools enhancing the
learning environment for over 115,000 students. A challenge often in remaining updated with the latest innovations
is that technology changes and improves itself so quickly becoming obsolete and often prevents us from possessing
the most current gadgets or software. Nevertheless, it is crucial to utilize our limited funds particularly on research-
based technology to ensure that overall benefits are maximized appropriately.
⊠Professional Development: Dedication and commitment to develop and strengthen the professional
community among educators.
We can no longer afford to âthrow our hands up in the airâ regarding technology and remain complacent. Almost
every aspect of our lives involves the use of technology in some manner. True technology integration is teachers
modeling, applying, collaborating and problem-solving in classroom learning environments. In order to accomplish
these goals, educators must be provided with the necessary tools to improve their comfortability and knowledge base
regarding technology in general.
The round table panelists indicated the significant need to provide ongoing staff development promoting
collaboration and a safe environment for exploration. Our roles as educators are to ultimately prepare each student
for life outside of the classroom but we must start inside the classroom first.
