Infrasructure As Code: Fueling the Fire For Faster Application Delivery - Whi...David J Rosenthal
To achieve success in today’s digital age, enterprises mustbe customer-obsessed and systematically reinvent themselves to serve informed and empowered customers. Leading companies rely heavily on software applications to win, serve, and retain these customers. Software creates better customer experiences, and delivering innovative software faster gives companies a distinct competitive advantage.
But faster delivery of applications is challenging for both infrastructure and operations (i.e., Ops) professionals and application development and delivery (i.e., Dev) teams. Both are under pressure to increase speed without compromising quality. To maximize their efforts, neither team can go it
alone — they must work together to find a common set of processes and tools that help them both. This is the core of the DevOps movement.

The pace of technological change is not slowing down.
In the decades since PCs first appeared, the world is a very different place, and business has been fundamentally disrupted again by new emerging technologies. We are at the cusp of the next major milestone in human history, one defined by things like cloud, big data, AI, automation, quantum computing, and more.
There are many trends creating pressure on businesses during this transition.
Security and cyber security are at the very top of the list for most customers. They are causing tremendous disruption for both business and IT.
Business models are being disrupted, with many established brands going out of business as customers demand more digital ways of interacting. Those that can’t adapt quickly enough are being left behind.
In an increasingly global economy, new regulations and compliance like GDPR are well intentioned but create a lot of work for IT, with stiff business consequences for those who aren’t compliant.
And finally, users are demanding an experience at work that aligns with the technology they are accustomed to in their personal lives – where technology is enabling magical, intelligent, digital moments, that are increasingly proactive and fit us in the moment.
More than ever before, businesses look to IT to help them deliver; to lead the way.

Businesses need to formulate a strategy to maintain productivity and support their employees regardless of the user’s chosen endpoint device or operating system.
As Windows XP comes to the end of its natural life on 8 April 2014, thousands of applications that run under the old operating system will need to be upgraded for a move to Windows 7 or 8.
The majority of commercial applications are available in newer versions of the Windows operating system, and users simply need to stay current. However, some businesses may find that they are unable to do so for various reasons, perhaps because they have been developed in-house, or are one of the few commercial applications that don’t have an upgrade path to Windows 7 or 8.
In these instances, what are the options when it comes to applications that can’t be upgraded? How can businesses overcome issues associated with legacy apps when upgrading the rest of their applications to Windows 8?

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.

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.
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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Windows 10 Migration: Extend Your Citrix Solution to Streamline Your OS Migration
2
Streamline OS migrations now and in the future by building on your
current Citrix virtualization infrastructure to simplify BYOD, app
compatibility and corporate desktop management.
With Windows® 10, IT is facing a milestone—the first operating system migration that’s in
employees’ hands, not its own. An easy-to-install upgrade offered free for the first year, the
latest Microsoft desktop platform is highly consumer-friendly to adopt—and that’s exactly
what consumers are doing. In the first month of its release, Windows 10 set the record for a
one-month increase in user share for any operating system. After just six months, over 200
million devices were running Windows 10. To stay relevant and current, IT needs to get moving
on Windows 10 migration as well. At the same time, you need to make sure you do it right. For
organizations that seized the adoption of Windows 7 as an opportunity to move to VDI, the new
upgrade couldn’t be simpler. For those that didn’t, now is the time to take a serious look at app
and desktop virtualization.
Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop provide simple, proven ways for IT to answer the three critical
questions around migration to Windows 10:
• How do I deliver line-of-business apps to the Windows devices my employees use, including the
ones they own themselves?
• How do I migrate my business apps to the new OS?
• How do I standardize and remain current on a Windows 10 corporate desktop image?
By using XenApp or XenDesktop, IT can embrace BYOD Windows 10 devices quickly and easily
and deliver instant access to business apps from any Windows 10 device. With XenDesktop, you
can also migrate your business apps to the new Windows 10 platform and use a single Windows
10 desktop image to standardize on the latest Microsoft operating system organization-wide.
Getting Windows 10 migration done right
For many organizations, moving from Windows XP to Windows 7 was a rushed and painful process.
Manual, decentralized methods made for long days that diverted IT staff from higher-value work.
Applications posed issues of their own, requiring extensive testing and remediation to ensure
compatibility with the new OS. The increasingly diverse endpoints in use throughout the enterprise,
including BYO devices, posed an additional layer of complexity.
You don’t want to end up in the same position this time—or the next time. With the XenApp or
XenDesktop license you already own, you can get out in front of OS migration challenges once and
for all. As a XenApp customer, you’ve experienced the value of centralizing applications. Similarly,
desktop virtualization provides a centralized way to accomplish OS migrations simply, quickly and
efficiently so that any device can run any Windows app. Employees gain greater flexibility and
mobility. For IT, both ongoing management and future upgrades become much easier, allowing you
to shift focus to more strategic initiatives.

Windows 10 Migration: Extend Your Citrix Solution to Streamline Your OS Migration
3
With several years remaining before Windows 7 reaches end-of-life, you have time to approach
Windows 10 migration thoughtfully—but you don’t have all the time in the world. Now, the sense of
urgency comes not from Microsoft support schedules, but from the force of consumerization. The
new OS can be downloaded free for the first year and installed easily by anyone who’s been running
Windows 7 or Windows 8 without the need to upgrade hardware. Plus, Microsoft will make the
update “recommended” in 2016, which means updates will download automatically with default
Windows settings. Add Microsoft’s assurances that the migration won’t pose any application
compatibility issues, and it’s easy to understand why consumers would feel empowered to take
matters into their own hands. Indeed, the years since the introduction of Windows 7 have seen a
rapid increase in user empowerment—people are accustomed to adopting the best and latest
technologies in their personal lives, and they’ll want no less for the tools they use for work. This
includes the new Windows 10 devices they’ll be buying for themselves with an eye to BYOD. If you
don’t upgrade them, they’ll do it themselves—without your control or visibility.
According to ComputerWorld, more than 350 million devices will be upgraded to Windows 10
within its first year.1
The migration is already well underway whether corporate IT is ready or not.
The Citrix way to move to Windows 10
As you approach an OS migration, there are three questions you have to address:
• How do I embrace the diverse devices my employees will use to run Windows 10,
including BYOD?
This includes ensuring hardware compatibility and delivering instant access to business apps
from Windows 10 devices for users everywhere. Along the way, IT must maintain full control over
the environment to keep user efforts from undermining security and manageability.
• How do I move my apps to Windows 10?
While Windows 8 apps may be largely compatible with the new platform, IT will still need to test
the full range of legacy Windows apps in the environment to ensure that they’ll run correctly
after the migration, and perform remediation where needed.
• How do I standardize on a Windows 10 corporate desktop image?
At a time when many organizations are still running a mix of Windows operating systems
and dealing with the resulting management complexity, the advantages of standardization
are clearer than ever. When the time comes to introduce a standard corporate desktop image
for your business, you’ll want to be able to do so quickly and efficiently to accelerate the
resulting benefits.
Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop provide the answers.
Embrace Windows 10 devices
When you publish virtual apps and desktops with XenApp or XenDesktop, users can simply
download Citrix Receiver on their new or upgraded Windows 10 devices—corporate or
“Microsoft is excited that our
longtime partner Citrix is helping
enterprise customers embrace
Windows 10. With XenApp and
XenDesktop, Citrix enables faster
application migration to Windows
10 with access to critical line of
business apps as soon as they
upgrade.”

BYOD—and get to work. In this way, IT can provide instant access to business apps on any device,
from anywhere, without time-consuming manual deployment across every location in the
business. Employees face no interruption in support—even if you haven’t performed application
compatibility testing. For users continuing to run older laptops and PCs, thin clients and other
non-Windows 10 compliant devices, Citrix HDX user experience technologies ensure the same
high-performance experience as those using newer endpoints, including enhanced support for
peripherals. IT maintains centralized control over access and data protection, including new
security features focused specifically on protecting sensitive resources from loss or theft.
Move apps to Windows 10
While there aren’t many architectural changes from Windows 8 to Windows 10, many users are
still on Windows XP or Windows 7, and running apps developed for those platforms. Users will
look for web apps that were developed for Internet Explorer to run on the Edge browser. You
need to make sure your business apps are compatible with the latest versions of your desktop OS
or browser. Traditionally, this is a time-consuming and costly process with engineers installing
and testing apps one by one. Citrix AppDNA, a platinum edition feature of XenApp and
XenDesktop, lets you automate and analyze application compatibility and remediate any issues
quickly, reducing the cost and complexity of application upgrades, migrations and updates by as
much as 90 percent.
Standardize on Windows 10 desktops
When the time comes for your organization to standardize on Windows 10, the rapid
provisioning technology of XenDesktop can be used to push out Windows 10 virtual desktops
to every user in every location—instantly. With a single golden image in the datacenter,
management becomes far simpler and more efficient. The same is true for support and security;
if a user’s desktop becomes corrupted or infected, a simple reboot will restore a pristine image,
eliminating the need for further intervention.
Analysts, customers and the media agree that using Citrix desktop virtualization alleviates the pain
traditionally associated with operating system migrations. For example:
• In the Forrester Wave™: Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops (VDI), Q3 2015 report, XenDesktop
earned the highest score in current offering and strategy categories.
• “We were able to upgrade all of our thin clients with the latest Windows OS with a better
Access Apps and Desktops on Any Device

How Citrix customers move to Windows 10
Today, current Citrix customers are expanding their use of XenApp so that any employee with a
Windows 10 device can have immediate and reliable access to corporate applications. Citrix
Receiver allows them to easily access any app—even those not updated for Windows 10—
reducing calls to the helpdesk and alleviating the need for IT to support Windows 10 devices.
Customers preparing to support the Windows 10 OS in their organization are using AppDNA,
included with the platinum edition of XenApp and XenDesktop, to test corporate apps and ensure
their compatibility with Windows 10. AppDNA enables IT to quickly and easily identify apps that are
compatible, and remediate those that are not.
Managing multiple desktop operating systems can be a headache. Citrix customers are
standardizing on Windows 10 across their organizations by delivering Windows 10 as a virtual
desktop. Trading up to XenDesktop is not only an easy move, but can make sure that this OS
migration is your last.
