This document proposes an automated test architecture for the UI Builder application using REST API testing, UI testing, and integration testing. It recommends the Rest Assured library for API testing due to its ability to integrate with Jenkins and remove the need for manual HTTP calls. Protractor is proposed for UI testing as it allows testing Angular applications in JavaScript and integrates well with Selenium. Both test frameworks would be set up with their own Git repositories linked to Jenkins jobs. Integration testing would link the API and UI test repos. The test automation aims to provide faster feedback and reduce regressions as the application grows.
Building a Test Automation Strategy for SuccessLee Barnes
Choosing an appropriate tool and building the right framework are typically thought of as the main challenges in implementing successful test automation. However, long term success requires that other key questions must be answered including:
- What are our objectives?
- How should we be organized?
- Will our processes need to change?
- Will our test environment support test automation?
- What skills will we need?
- How and when should we implement?
In this workshop, Lee will discuss how to assess your test automation readiness and build a strategy for long term success. You will interactively walk through the assessment process and build a test automation strategy based on input from the group. Attend this workshop and you will take away a blue print and best practices for building an effective test automation strategy in your organization.
• Understand the key aspects of a successful test automation function
• Learn how to assess your test automation readiness
• Develop a test automation strategy specific to your organization

Software testing concepts is going to enhance from manual testing to automated testing. Due to rapidly increasing complexity in software development process, the present manual testing technique is not sufficient for effective testing. Hence, here arises the requirement of test automation process. The automation testing is the software testing process in which the tester use advance automation tools for testing software applications areas, which needs to be tested again-and-again due to frequent changes.
This is a presentation given at the Hangzhou Scrum Forum 2009, sponsored by Perficient, China. The topic is how to incorporate automated functional testing into an agile project, and also some best practices, tips, and warnings.

A test automation framework defines an organization's way of doing things. It is a set of assumptions, concepts and tools that provide support for automated software testing.
Test Automation
Test automation is the use of test automation software like Selenium or self-developed testware to execute test cases.
Test automation is mostly used to automate repetitive testing tasks in a formalized way. It is also used to execute tests that would be difficult to perform manually like performance testing.
There are many advantages of test automation that are mostly related to the repeatability of the tests and the speed of test execution. There are a lot of commercial and open source tools available which can be grouped into two main categories; Code-Driven and Graphical User Interface Testing. Thus the key success factor in test automation is selecting the right tool and have a specialized test automation team.
It is to use test automation tools by considering ROI (return on investment). Otherwise it is quite easy to waste big amount of energy, commitment and definitely money.

Test Otomasyonu:
Test otomasyonu özellikle tekrarlayan ve manuel olarak yapılması zor olan testlerin Selenium gibi test otomasyon araçları kullanılarak ya da özel olarak geliştirilen test otomasyon scriptleri ile yapılmasıdır. Bu bakımdan:
- Regresyon testleri
- Performans testleri
- Yük ve Stres testleri
- Test yönetimi
test otomasyonuna en uygun test tipleri ve aktiviteleridir.
Test otomasyonunun en büyük faydaları:
- testlerin hıznının artırılması
- testlerin kapsamının artırılması
- testlerin doğruluğunun artırılması
- testlerin raporlama kalitesinin artırılmasıdır.
Test otomasyonu doğru araç seçimi yapılmaması, ya da test otomasyonunu bilen uzman bir ekip tarafından yapılmaması durumunda faydadan çok zarar getirmektedir.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

2. Topics
1. Why we need test automation?
2. Types of tests that we need
3. Test architecture for each type
4. Tools proposal for each type
5. Integrating CI tools & VC systems
6. Demo
3. How it all started?
• Action item from Sprint 18.4 SP1 retrospective
4. Reasons why we need
automated tests
• UI builder app gets bigger by every sprint
• App in early phase -> a lot of regression issues
• Tests performed manually by now
• Automated tests will provide faster feedback while
developing features
• Automated tests should be started while the app is in a
early phase and progress alongside the development
process
7. API Testing
• Pros: Cons:
• Allows user to create collections. - cannot integrate with Git
• Allows user to semi-automate tests. - cannot integrate with Jenkins
• Gives feedback quick.
• Allows user to create env variables.
• Allows user to create tests without hardcoding values .
9. API Testing
• Java library that provides domain specific language for writing powerful and
maintainable REST API tests.
• Pros:
• Removes the need for writing code to set up HTTP connection, send a
request and receive and parse the response
• Supports given/when/then test notation, which make your tests human
readable.
• Since it is a Java library, it can be integrated very well with Jenkins.
10. Framework architecture
Rest Assured Test -
Folders and UI Objects
CRUD operations
Maven
Build automation tool
Test NG
Testing framework and
reporting for Java
15. UI Testing
• e2e testing framework for (Angular) js applications.
• Wrapper around Selenium WebdriverJS and Selenium Server
• Open source, hosted on Github.
• Records tests running in a real browser.
• Interacts with page elements as a real user would.
Alternative: - Selenium Webdriver
16. Why Protractor ?
• Whole development team is using Javascript as main language for frontend -> Protractor is
developed in Javascript.
• Has a lot of new locators strategies and functions. Allows users to create custom locators.
(show example with custom locator for shadow down elements)
• Automatic waiting, can execute the next step in your test, the moment the webpage finishes
pending tasks.
• Can run on both real and headless browsers.
• Can be integrated with CI tools.
17. How it works?
• A test involves 3 processes: the test script, the server and the browser.
• Selenium Server takes care of interpreting commands from the test script and forwards them
to one of the browsers, through WebDriver Wire Protocol interpreted by the browser’s driver.
23. Integration
• Each framework to be part of a separate repo on
Git.
• Each repo from Git will be linked to a Jenkins job.
• REST Api tests should be used as a sanity tests.
• UI Tests should be used as regression tests.
26. What’s next?
• Owner of the test process is the entire Phoenix
team.
• We work agile and have full control over the entire
software development process.
• US creation -> PI planning -> Backlog grooming
-> Sprint planning -> Sprint execution
(development & testing) -> Track progress ->
Present report at SOS -> Improve process
(Retrospective)
27. What’s next?
• Keep checking new tools that will help us more:
• newman
• Protractor-image-comparisson
• Analyse integration of Protractor with Typescript
