Model-Based Testing: Concepts, Tools, and TechniquesTechWell
For decades, software development tools and methods have evolved with an emphasis on modeling. Standards like UML and SysML are now used to develop some of the most complex systems in the world. However, test design remains a largely manual, intuitive process. Now, a significant opportunity exists for testing organizations to realize the benefits of modeling. Adam Richards describes how to leverage model-based testing to dramatically improve both test coverage and efficiency—and lower the overall cost of quality. Adam provides an overview of the basic concepts and process implications of model-based testing, including its role in agile. A survey of model types and techniques shows different model-based solutions for different kinds of testing problems. Explore tool integrations and weigh the pros and cons of model-based test development against a variety of system and project-level factors. Gain a working knowledge of the concepts, tools, and techniques needed to introduce model-based testing to your organization.

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

Slow Down to Speed Up - Leveraging Quality to Enable Productivity and Speed w...TEST Huddle
Despite extensive uptake in Agile and more recently Lean approaches, many teams and organisations still struggle to achieve a required level of software quality. To maintain sustained productivity and speed we need to achieve a sufficient level of quality in our software. This presentation will briefly explore the relationship between quality, speed and productivity in the context of value driven delivery. It will then highlight the real world mistakes being make by organisations and their agile teams in relation to quality and testing and suggest ways to improve.
Examples will include issues with
• agile test strategy and product risk,
• team competency,
• test automation,
• test design techniques,
• requirements (including non-functional),
• line management,
• planning for quality,
• use of the ‘Definition of Done’.

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.

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).

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

3. 1. Waterfall Testing Vs Agile Testing (1 of 2)
Area Testing In Waterfall Model Testing in Agile Model
(1) Test •Complete & Base-line (freeze) •Incremental Req. as stories
Requirement •Separate Change Request / •To accommodate change/dynamic Req.
Enhancement •Req. prioritized based on: business values of customers, early
realization & feedback
(2) Test •Detailed upfront test strategy •Initial test strategy
Strategy •Covers e2e test scope • incremental changes during iterations/sprints
(3) Test Team •Independent team /mindset •Collaborative team (dev & test) ; common goal; Agile mindset
Structure •Test Manager: Project & •Test Manager:
Resource Management (people •Test Planning & Estimation (input to backlogs)
& lab) •Resource Management (people & lab)
•Defined & Clear role •Scrum Master: Release/Scrum Management
•Lack of role clarity & 100% buy-in on agile practices
(4) Test Cases •One time TC dev. •Iterative/Sprint wise TCs dev. @ story level (Functional & Non
(TCs) •Longer time Functional)
Development •Ver. level contribution (partial •TCs for inter-relation between stories (within & previous iterations)
& at the end) for acceptance •Story level acceptance TCs dev. with customers
tests
(5) Test •Automation behind manual •Iteration/Sprint based automation & in C.I.
Automation test phase •Shortage of time (poor scope) leads to missing/detailed scenarios
•Typically separate manual, •Automation suite quality deteriorates - Poor Focus on:
automation & performance test – Scripting standard/review
team – SDLC approach
– Maintenance (Ver.2 Ver.)
– No Synch.: code <-> automation
•Lack of attention leads to: Random Failures, Longer time to run, GUI
errors, where the issue: defect or automation suite?
•Coverage metric
4. 1. Waterfall Testing Vs Agile Testing (2 of 2)
Area Testing In Waterfall Model Testing in Agile Model
(6) •Not strict •Strictly followed (early feedback/defects); back bone of agile
Continuous •Relatively longer time •Efficient CI topology, architecture & timely automation suite
Integration •Relatively less frequent builds are critical
(C.I.) •CI pass rate metric
(7) Test Lab •Required just before the testing •Required from initial iteration onwards
/ Test bed (due to phase approach)
(8) Test •Longer, dedicated & multiple •All the stories TCs tested within the iteration/sprint
Execution test cycles •Continuous product/application visibility to testers
•Late product/application visibility •Customer demo at each iteration
•Phase wise test cycles •Short test cycles for Non Functional Testing @ iteration end
•Same Test engineers to iteratively test & be an expert in:
– customer domain
– test design
– test automation / scripting
– Non functional test
– C.I.
(9) Defect •Zero defect target @ end of Ver. •Early & iterative defect finding
Finding •Relatively Defect backlog is •Less/zero iterative defect backlog
larger •How much re-work metric
•Test cycle wise # defects trend •Iteration wise # defects trend (much controlled)
(high-low-high-low ….)

8. 5. RCA (Root Cause Analysis) 1 of 2
Focus: within the version Focus: version to version
RCA on defects must be used like RCA on defects should “not” be like
“preventive health check-up” to live longer investigating “dead body” during
& healthy (In-Phase Quality) postmortem (Post Release Quality)
The software we build & test to have in-phase Often (in waterfall model) the RCA is done at
RCA at every checkpoints/ iterations/ sprints to the end of the project to improve the “next”
ensure no defect slippage to next stage release (not before death of the patient)
Each phase/iteration/sprint to demand quality In this case the poor quality impact is already
from previous one and ensure to next one made to S/w customers. (RCA learning in this
Quality to be achieved continuously! case saves other patients, not the one who is
already dead!)

(IV) SDLC [Software Development Life Cycle] Defects RCA with Corrective & Preventive Actions
RCA by: Quality Engineers; Source: Defects (in-phase/post release)
RCA Scope: To analyze root causes on slipped defects & where/how the defects got customer
originated/injected.
Outcome: Report on systematic improvements w.r.t. SDLC phases/iterations/sprints/release
Iteration /sprint/release wise feedback to previous SDLC phases. Teams to conduct iterative/in-phase/Post Release RCA.
Thus team can improve/prevent on defects slippage in next iteration/sprints/release.
