This is a PowerPoint I made for a class assignment. We were told to create our own business (within a group). Each group member came up with their own idea and then one idea was selected. My group decided to go with my idea of creating a fitness camp for youth based around zombie survival training.
I was tasked with making the PowerPoint, and this was the end result. I'd like to note that this is also the first PP I ever made, so I know it's nothing spectacular, but I think it's pretty good for my first try.
Animal testing involves using animals like mice, rats, guinea pigs, dogs, cats and rabbits to test products like perfumes, makeup, medicines and drugs.

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.

Editor's Notes
Hello members of RBCWe are very excited for the opportunity to talk to you today
30% of 11-17 are overweight or obese, rates climbing every yearDoctors seeing an increase in healthy problems; physical complications include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and Type 2 diabetes Mental health issues rising as well; such as low self-esteem and depression
Experts say an increase in sedentary lifestyles is to blame for the rise of childhood obesityMore and more time is being spent in front of computers and T.V.s, not enough time spent outside, playing sports and being activePediatricians now say child and adolescent obesity has reach epidemic proportionsUrge parents to get their children physically activeWe have recognized a need for an exciting way to get youths active, and believe we have found a solution
Proposal addresses the growing issue of child/adolescent obesityDoes so by providing and fun and exciting way to get activeWould use the grant to create a fitness program based around survival trainingIt will promote exercise and will teach basic wilderness survival skillsWhat makes program unique is the survival training will be to teach them how to survive a zombie apocalypse
We have several reasons for why we settled on the zombie apocalypse training conceptZombies currently a pop-culture phenomenon; large variety of movies, T.V. shows, books, and games all based around zombie outbreaksThe zombie trend is still going strong, with no sign of slowing downZombie survival training has become popular as well; New York Times Best Seller Zombie Survival GuideGrowing amount of survival zombie kits available for purchaseWe believe the combination of exercise and the undead will create a program teens will want to participate in
As stated, our program will focus on a combination of exercise and survival trainingFocus for exercise will be cardio and strength trainingCardio improved by daily jogs, while being “chased” by instructors in zombie make-up to provide “motivation”Strength training will mainly be bodyweight exercises, such as push ups, crunches, lunges, etc.Encourages teens to exercise at home since no additional equipment is needed, and reduces our costsSurvival training will teach a variety of skills such as; edible plants, starting fires without matches or lighters, finding shelter, how to track animals and build traps, and how to set up homemade alarms around camp perimeterCan also provide basic zombie knowledge for fun
We plan on operating year roundMondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the school year from 4-6Saturdays during school year from 10-6During summer months we will run Monday-Friday 10-6Initially will start up in London, OntarioIf the program proves to be successful we will expand nationally first, and eventually into the US
We are now going to look at the costs associated with our program
We will hire two certified personal trainers per group of participantsThis ensures exercises will be done safelyAverage wage for personal trainers is $14/hour, which is our planned wageWe also require camp counsellors who can act like zombiesWe would prefer to hire post-secondary students, as they are readily available during the summer monthsAlso more willing to accept minimum wage, $10.25/hour, which is our proposed wageIt would also provide acting experience for theatre students
We would also require make-up artists to do the zombie make-upOnce again we plan on hiring post-secondary students, especially those in make-up or special effectsWould provide valuable experience for the studentsProposed wage is also $10.25/hourWe also would hire a bookkeeper to ensure we maintain accurate financial recordsDuring the school year we estimate the bookkeeper will costs us $150/monthDuring the busier summer months the estimation is $300/month
Since we need both a classroom and room for strength training, large building is requiredAlso need access to large outdoor space for our cardio training, and certain aspects of the survival trainingThere are options available in London, with rent being approximately $650/monthWe have also budgeted $450/month for various expenses including internet, hydro, heat and phone
We would create a website to use as our main source of advertisingIt is expensive, approximately $5000, but in this day and age you almost need a website to succeed, so that makes it worth itWould also use radio, magazine and newspaper ads to spread the word of our programWould cost approximately $2500/monthThis allows us to reach a very wide variety of peopleOnce we start gaining popularity we will create a Facebook page as well
Here we have a breakdown of the various costs of Equipment and SuppliesThe costs vary per quarter due to more expenses during the summer monthsWe would need Make-up for the zombie effectsWater and snacks for the participantsGym equipment such as ropes, mats, hurdles, free-weights, etc.Survival equipment including knives (only for the older participants), compasses, first-aid materials, etc.Would need cleaning and toiletry products, as well as various office supplies
We will require all participants parents/guardians to sign a liability waiverBy having them sign this, it helps keep our insurance costs downInsurance costs will be approximately $100/monthWe have also included other start-up costs in our budget$5000 for any renovations needed$4000 for office furniture and equipment$7000 for our gym set-up and starting equipment$820 for a fridge
Here we have a clustered column chartIt displays the our costs in various categories over 4 quartersAs you can see, costs besides rent and utilities vary over the 4 quarters
This pie chart shows a comparison of the different costs for our programThis is broken down into various categories as wellAdvertising is a large chunk of our cost, but we believe it will pay off in the end
We now have a short video to play for youThis is a testimonial video by a 16-tear-old teenager who lives in London, OntarioHe would love the chance to participate in our program
