Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

What is web accessibility?
Web accessibility is about people. Successful web accessibility is about
anticipating the different needs of all sorts of people, understanding
your fellow web users and the different ways they consume information,
empathizing with them and their sense of what is convenient and what
frustratingly unnecessary barriers you could help them to avoid.

Editor's Notes
Published by the Association on Higher Education and Disability in the Journal of Postsecondary Education on Disability
Introduction – What is web axs? Why do we care?
Consider Different Disabilities – What obstacles do people with disabilities have when browsing the web? How do they overcome them with AT? What can we do as developers to make it easier?
Math – How to make math formulas accessible? What tools are out there for us.
Tools and Resources – References for more a11y content and what tools we can use to QA our own design and code
Q & A – If you came in with a question, please hold it until the end. Feel free to speak up if you need something that I’m trying to communicate clarified.
Does this sound like UX principles? If it does, it’s because this is where web accessibility starts. If a page is truly accessible then it’s good for everyone regardless of ability.
----- Meeting Notes (3/25/15 15:35) -----
Section 508 federal dollars CED
Title II - Web is a communication tool
Title III - Ecommerce/building analogy/Target
LA Tech – Course materials
Montana – class assignments, live chat, discussion board, registration system
Florida State – E-Learning
Northwestern – Google Apps
Penn State – Web site and course materials
AZ State - Kindle
Educators – As developers, we disseminate the necessary information for people to get an education. No one receiving that information should be discriminated against. When we remove that discrimination from our work… we can broaden our audience.
Section 508 Universe Training still uses table layouts.
Public hearings were held on March 5 in San Diego and DC on March 11. Public Webinar on March 31 to review the proposal. The guidelines will be available for public comment until May 28. Implementation… ?? At the speed of the Federal Government.
UDL – Web design starts with content first. Designing accessible courses is no different. Flexible and accessible course content is where it begins and this is where we can advocate for people with disabilities first to the instructors and the course creators. Is the content understandable to everyone regardless of ability? If not, is the material/course requirements adaptable to accommodate someone with a disability?
WCAG 2 – This is where we get into how we structure our code. Necessary attributes for our HTML tags, design requirements etc.
WAI ARIA – Not going to get into it too much. But with these tools we do not have to limit design. We like nuances in our apps, subtle transitions different easing, etc. Good design does not have to be sacrificed in the name of accessibility. We can have it all. I promise.

W3Cs
Tools to give
Color blindr
Bargraphs – label under the bar
Piecharts – hover animation that adds the key
Line charts – multiple labels; broken lines
These estimates (for adults age 16 and older reporting significant vision loss, who were in the non-institutionalized, civilian population) are all derived from the American Community Survey results for 2012, as interpreted by Cornell University's Employment and Disability Institute (EDI).

Don’t forget to consider your containers. Font size should not break your design/usability
Show video here http://empat.io/arend
Our job as designers and developers concerned with accessibility to alter our design and code to play well with these AT
Keyboard – quick custom navigation for screen readers to pull all desired content by section, heading order, or they may ‘tab’ through it
Mention flexbox and source order
WAI-ARIA roles will only act on ‘focusable’ content for IE. Need more planning for this last bullet
Roles: widget roles, document structure, landmark roles
Example is from the WAI-ARIA guidelines
Automatic alt attributes for CMS
Access for All: Public Television for Boston
MathML is a markup language that’s native to Firefox and can be extended to all browsers with MathJax. MathJax JS plugin.
Mi = math identifier
WAVE is an automated checker
