This document discusses software testing challenges including that testing does not prove correctness, system crashes are not the only issues, and connection pool and load balancer concurrency can cause problems. It also mentions that late changes to complex modules or requirements can cause extra work, and recommends finding critical issues first. The document acknowledges a book on software testing illusions.

Software Characterization & Performance Testing - Beat Your Software with a S...Tze Chin Tang
Traditional software testing is centered around "if it works." Given the move to the cloud and large scaled systems, the cost of failure has gotten high enough, they knowing "if it works" is no longer enough, but we need to know "how it fails."
This talk is an introduction to software characterization testing.

Building 5 star apps with Xamarin Test Cloud at Techorama 2017Gerald Versluis
Slides from my session at the Techorama 2017 in Belgium.
Xamarin has an awesome solution for UI testing your apps on _physical_ devices! This way you can keep taps on the quality of your app and keep your heart rate under 200bpm when releasing a new version.
In this session I will tell you all about the ins- and outs of Test Cloud and show you how to write a test and have it executed.
Your shrinking project deadlines are increasing the need for automated tests—but, simultaneously, reducing the time available for writing them. The system requirements are continually changing. The implementation is changing. You spend more and more time maintaining old tests, leaving less time to write new ones. The tests take longer and longer to run. And when they fail, the problem is as likely to be in the tests as in the system. What’s a developer to do? Dale Emery and George Dinwiddie share hard-won lessons learned from their decades of software development and test automation. Discover the factors that make automated tests maintainable, expressive, informative, fast, reliable, and repeatable. Practice achieving these qualities in hands-on exercises. Apply new techniques and your existing software development expertise in new ways. Take home powerful principles and practices to meet the unique challenges of test automation and to help your project deliver sooner with greater confidence.

Build the "right" regression suite using Behavior Driven Testing (BDT)Anand Bagmar
Behavior Driven Testing (BDT) is an evolved way of thinking about Testing. It helps in identifying the 'correct' scenarios, in form of user journeys, to build a good and effective (manual & automation) regression suite that validates the Business Goals.
Software testing is a process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding the software bugs. It can also be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a software program or application or product: Meets the business and technical requirements that guided it's design and development.
Software testers and QA Engineers play a vital role in any firm. And with time and practice, they will be able to aim for higher positions and pay cheques. Here are the pros and cons of choosing Software testing as a career path.

Automation in the Bug Flow - Machine Learning for Triaging and TracingMarkus Borg
Issue management is a costly part of software development. In large projects, the continuous inflow of issue reports contributes to the information overload in a project, i.e., "a state where individuals do not have time or capacity to process all available information". In issue triaging, an initial step in issue management, a developer must be able to overview existing issue reports and easily navigate the software engineering project landscape. In this presentation, we present support for two work tasks involved in issue management: 1) issue assignment and 2) change impact analysis. We use machine learning to harness the ever-growing number of issue reports, by training recommendation systems on previous issues. Our industrial evaluations on 50,000+ issue reports in two large software development organizations indicate that automated issue assignment performs in line with current manual work. Moreover, we present how traceability from already resolved issue reports to various artifacts can be reused to jump start change impact analyses for newly submitted issues. Finally, we speculate on future ways to tame information overload into helpful software engineering recommendations.
This presentation is a quick introduction to software testing and game testing. It should be used as a starting point, and links have been provided for further reading.

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:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.
