Definition Driven API Development: How OAS & Swagger Help Teams Streamline Th...SmartBear
The OpenAPI Specification (formerly known as the Swagger Specification) has emerged as the world’s standard for defining RESTful interfaces at a time when the API economy is ripe for disruption. In this webinar, we discussed exactly why and how to use the OpenAPI Specification to accelerate your API development in various phases of the API lifecycle including API design, development, documentation, testing and virtualization.
We cover trends in the API landscape that have led to the adoption of API definitions, like OpenAPI, and look at real-world examples of how API teams are using definitions to address challenges at each of the different phases of the lifecycle of their APIs. And finally, we walk through a live demo showing tools like Swagger Inspector for generating API definitions, SwaggerHub for designing, documenting, and developing your APIs, and SoapUI and ServiceV for testing and virtualizing your API.
With special guests Ron Ratovsky and Darrel Miller from the OpenAPI Initiative's Technical Steering Committee, this SmartBear webinar session covered the history of Swagger and the OpenAPI Specification, and all the latest changes in OAS 3.1.

Full webinar recording:
Go through this presentation and on-demand session to learn: What Are The World’s Most Innovative Testing Teams Doing That You Are Not?
As much as we all hate to admit it, our test automation efforts are struggling. Coverage is dropping. Bugs are escaping to production. Our apps are visually complex, growing rapidly, delivered continuously, and changing constantly - so much so that our functional framework is now bloated, broken, and unable to keep up with Agile and CI-CD release best practices.
No wonder that in our latest State of Visual Testing research, the majority of companies surveyed reported that their CI-CD and automation processes are not helping them to successfully compete in today's fast-paced ecosystem, and are not effective in ensuring software quality in a scalable and robust way.
But what about those elite testing teams that got it right? What's their secret? Can we copy what they did, instead of setting ourselves to fail?
With this presentation, and on-demand session discussing it, learn how the 10% of the world’s most innovative testing teams have reinvented their test automation to support a fully automated CI-CD process, and guaranteed their company's digital transformation was a success.
Use these resources to learn:
-- Why the majority of test automation efforts are falling behind
-- How your QA and testing efforts compare to these elite teams -- via live polling results
-- 4 modern techniques that the top 10% of testing teams globally are doing every day, and that you can do too
Use Automation to Assist—Not Replace—Manual TestingTechWell
Automation is a powerful tool to help testing but too often it is used to replicate existing manual tests. This leads organizations to spend large amounts of time and money constantly updating flaky automated tests and test teams to suffer frustration from having to focus on activities that are not truly testing. This cost and frustration can be avoided by using automation as a tool to assist testing—not to replace tests. Jeffrey Martin shares some real-world examples of using automation to supplement testing by leveraging its true value—the replication and repetition of tasks instead of tests. Examples are drawn from several testing teams, as well as his own. Jeffrey explores what kinds of tasks are the best fit for automation, identifies which tasks are better left to testers, and provides examples of melding task automation and manual tests together. Jeffrey discusses how organizations have introduced these concepts to maximize adoption and team buy-in. Leave with a different view of automation and ideas on how to best use this powerful tool to supplement actual tests seamlessly in your own team.

5 Considerations When Adopting Automated TestingBhupesh Dahal
Most organizations have realized the benefits of and need for test automation—but is your investment being wisely utilized? Are you unknowingly building a test automation suite that will end up costing more than your actual product? Are you building a legacy test automation framework that may be ready to retire before you reap the benefits?
This presentation will discuss five points of consideration that will help your organization answer these questions and mitigate risks that they bring into light.
Atmosphere 2016 - Berk Dulger - DevOps Tactical Adoption TheoryPROIDEA
DevOps is a state of art describing each software development step as a repeatable, automatable and deterministic process excluding error-prone human factor first time in the history of software development. The model defines the entire value chance from concept to concrete product. It is an evolutionary end for the models of software development and agile movement. But, there is a problem with the concept; though described easily, implemented a little hard.
DevOps Tactical Adoption Theory tries to make the transition process as smooth as possible. It hypothesis each step towards DevOps maturity should bring a visible business value empowering management and team commitment for the next step. The innovative idea here, it is not required to add the tools/processes to stack from sequential beginning to end, but seeking benefit.
The reason behind the theory is to encourage practitioners to apply each step one-by-one and then having the benefits in projects. Consequently, each step is tested in terms of utility and proved method validity for the further steps. In contrast to previous adoption models, our model indicates concrete activities rather than general statements.
Theory built on the claim that many DevOps transition projects considered problematic, impractical or even unsuccessful causing concept to become a goal more than a technique. Basically, theory consists of different areas of interest describing various actions on a schema.
In the session, it is planned to demonstrate “DevOps Tactical Adoption Theory” with focus on Delivery Pipeline/Testing Practices sectioned "Continuous Testing in DevOps".
The Leaders Guide to Getting Started with Automated TestingJames Briers
Conventional testing is yesterday’s news, is required but needs the same overhaul that has happened in development. It needs to be a slicker operation that really identifies the risk associated with release and protects the business from serious system failure. The only way to achieve this is to remove the humans, they are prone to error, take a long time, cost a lot of money and don’t always do what they are told.
Automation needs to be adopted as a total process, not a bit part player. Historically automation has focussed on the User Interface, which can be a start, but is often woefully lacking. Implementing an Automation Eco-System, sees automation drive through to the interface or service layer, enabling far higher reuse of automated scripts, encompasses the environment and the test data within it’s strategy, providing a robust, repeatable and reusable asset.
Don’t just automate the obvious. Automation is not a black box testing technique. Rather it is mirroring the development and building an exercise schedule for the code. Take your testing to the next level and realise the real benefits of a modern Automation Eco-system.

Software testing is the quality measures conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service. Test techniques include, but are not limited to, the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs. It is an important part of the entire Software Development ensuring that the functionalities of the system are tested to the finest and assures the quality, correctness and completeness of the product. Software testing, depending on the testing method employed, can be implemented at any time in the development process.
Stages of testing:
o Test planning
o Test Analysis
o Test verification & Construction
o Test execution
o Defect tracking and management
o Quality Analysis Bug tracking
o Report
o Final testing & implementation
SAP Test automation - fully automatic test of complex business processes incl...Tobias Trapp
We take the wording "automation" very seriously. Our version of test automation is indeed fully automatic. No one has to modify test data or any other input parameter in order to conduct regression tests. We support different kinds of input interfaces - Dialogues, IDOC-interface, Batch processing, files are generated and submitted all of it automatically. Even the checks in order to evaluate if the test was successful are performed automatically.
A recent feature of out automatic test system is the controlled generation of XSF and RDI output files, and the automatic evaluation of the correctness of the file content. Our setup consists of large number of isolated units which can be linked exchanging parameters. The isolated units are linked together through table entries. We have been up and running for some years
We are looking forward to displaying our setup and discuss different aspects of automatic testing with you. In case you don't believe us - we aren't surprised, but please give us the chance to convince you

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.
We describe the deployment and use of Globus Compute for remote computation. This content is aimed at researchers who wish to compute on remote resources using a unified programming interface, as well as system administrators who will deploy and operate Globus Compute services on their research computing infrastructure.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.

Large Language Models and the End of ProgrammingMatt Welsh
Talk by Matt Welsh at Craft Conference 2024 on the impact that Large Language Models will have on the future of software development. In this talk, I discuss the ways in which LLMs will impact the software industry, from replacing human software developers with AI, to replacing conventional software with models that perform reasoning, computation, and problem-solving.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.

Return?
Time
Mountains of No Return
Manual Automated
4. 44
Why the Gap?
1. Failure to align different goals across the
team
2. Automated testing viewed as a replacement
for existing processes
3. Automated testing approached like
development
4. Not enough focus on high-return automation
5. 55
Goals - The Automation Dream
• Less Time
• No faulty tests / false
defects
• Less people
• More like manufacturing
The “Tester”The “Boss”
• Less repetition
• No faulty tests / false
defects
• More time to Test
• More like craftsmanship
6. 66
Goals - The Agreement
1. Less Time & Repetition
2. No faulty tests / false defects
Focus on these two goals
7. 77
Replacing Existing Processes
What Testers and the Business roles are familiar with:
Workflows
Business Processes
Test Cases
User Stories
So this is what they automate
9. 99
Misleading Early Results
The obvious workflows get automated first
Less Time & Repetition
No (ok, less) faulty tests / false defects
Success breeds repetition
What gets overlooked is efficiency
Break down workflows into component tasks
11. 1111
Automate like a Dev?
Ok, so all Tasks in a process are not created equal
One popular alternative:
Think like a developer and break processes
down
2 Developer approaches with the same problem
when applied to testing
Object Oriented Functional
Stable operations Stable “things”
New “things” New operations
12. 1212
Why Dev-focused approaches fail
Developers are used to building “the whole thing”
They can’t choose not to code something!
Development and Tests are based on the same
Requirements and therefore do not capture errors in design
Additionally, Developers can only interact and check for
expected results
Interact Check
Click Values
Enter text Presence
Drag Layouts / Coordinates
13. 1313
An aside: Checking vs. Testing
Automation when done right is more valuable than
“Checking”
Many non-checking functions are better done by
computers
Checks are based on design, Tests are based on
the much messier Usage.
Fully Automated Regression “Testing” is a
screening tool that only Checks
14. 1414
Where are we with the Gap?
1. Failure to align different goals across the team
Find the areas of agreement, focus on those
2. Automated testing viewed as a replacement for
existing processes
Break workflows into Tasks
3. Automated testing approached like
development
Recognize that development and testing, even automated
testing, are different activities
4. Not enough focus on high-return automation
15. 1515
Task Automation
1. Testing is hard work, automation should
free up time for that hard work
2. Processes are made of tasks
3. Tasks do not always equal tests
4. Tasks have different returns on
automation investment
16. 1616
Good Task Automation
Candidates1. Environment Setup / Teardown
2. Data Entry
a) Form Filling
b) Varying data inputs in a repetitive process
3. Exposing backend data (APIs, DB tables, etc….)
4. Repetitive / boring tasks that are prone to inattention errors
5. Tasks with high reuse value across many workflows
6. Tests with timing or screen responsiveness as a criteria for
success
7. Many non-functional test types, such as Performance testing
8. Smoke Test Suites – key user workflows as a screening tool
9. Result Capture

The Hard Part – Combining
Execution
Combining Automation and Manual execution of Tasks is
difficult
Many tools do exist to help combine execution and results:
1. Automation tools that pause and wait for manual testing
either in a form or via a button
2. Test Management or Manual Testing tools that run
scripts on demand
Caution: Switching between execution methods has a cost
that should be factored into Task selection.
