Test design techniques are procedures used to define test conditions, design test cases, and specify test data in order to improve testing efficiency. There are three main categories of test design techniques: specification-based techniques derive test cases from requirements or models, structure-based techniques derive test cases from code, and experience-based techniques use the tester's experience. Equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis are two important specification-based techniques. Equivalence partitioning divides test conditions into valid and invalid equivalence classes, while boundary value analysis tests values at the boundaries between partitions. Together these techniques help identify effective test cases.

Slides from the workshop I conducted on "Client-side Performance Testing".
Abstract of the workshop:
In this workshop, we will see the different dimensions of Performance Testing and Performance Engineering, and focus on Client-side Performance Testing.
Before we get to doing some Client-side Performance Testing activities, we will first understand how to look at client-side performance, and putting that in the context of the product under test. We will see, using a case study, the impact of caching on performance, the good & the bad! We will then experiment with some tools like WebPageTest and Page Speed to understand how to measure client-side performance.
Lastly - just understanding the performance of the product is not sufficient. We will look at how to automate the testing for this activity - using WebPageTest (private instance setup), and experiment with yslow - as a low-cost, programatic alternative to WebPageTest.

Methods of Software Testing There are two basic methods of performing software testing: 1. Manual testing 2. Automated testing Manual Software Testing As the name would imply, manual software testing is the process of an individual or individuals manually testing software. This can take the form of navigating user interfaces, submitting information, or even trying to hack the software or underlying database. As one might presume, manual software testing is labor-intensive and slow.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data.
The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs.
Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution!
Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous.

Fluttercon 2024: Showing that you care about security - OpenSSF Scorecards fo...Chris Swan
Have you noticed the OpenSSF Scorecard badges on the official Dart and Flutter repos? It's Google's way of showing that they care about security. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge.
You can do the same for your projects, and this presentation will show you how, with an emphasis on the unique challenges that come up when working with Dart and Flutter.
The session will provide a walkthrough of the steps involved in securing a first repository, and then what it takes to repeat that process across an organization with multiple repos. It will also look at the ongoing maintenance involved once scorecards have been implemented, and how aspects of that maintenance can be better automated to minimize toil.

7. 1. INTRODUCTION
(NOTE 1: THE SOFTWARE TEST PLAN GUIDELINES WERE DERIVED AND
DEVELOPED FROM IEEE STANDARD FOR SOFTWARE TEST
DOCUMENTATION (829-1998)).
(Note 2: The ordering of Software Test Plan (STP) elements is not meant to imply
that the sections or subsections must be developed or presented in that order. The
order of presentation is intended for ease of use, not as a guide to preparing the
various elements of the Software Test Plan. If some or all of the content of a section
is in another document, then a reference to that material may be listed in place of
the corresponding content.)
The Introduction section of the Software Test Plan (STP) provides an overview of the project
and the product test strategy, a list of testing deliverables, the plan for development and
evolution of the STP, reference material, and agency definitions and acronyms used in the
STP.
The Software Test Plan (STP) is designed to prescribe the scope, approach, resources,
and schedule of all testing activities. The plan must identify the items to be tested, the
features to be tested, the types of testing to be performed, the personnel responsible for
testing, the resources and schedule required to complete testing, and the risks
associated with the plan.
1.1 Objectives
(Describe, at a high level, the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of the
testing activities. Provide a concise summary of the test plan objectives, the
products to be delivered, major work activities, major work products, major
milestones, required resources, and master high-level schedules, budget, and
effort requirements.)
1.2 Testing Strategy
Testing is the process of analyzing a software item to detect the differences
between existing and required conditions and to evaluate the features of the
software item. (This may appear as a specific document (such as a Test
Specification), or it may be part of the organization's standard test approach. For
each level of testing, there should be a test plan and an appropriate set of
deliverables. The test strategy should be clearly defined and the Software Test
Plan acts as the high-level test plan. Specific testing activities will have their own
test plan. Refer to section 5 of this document for a detailed list of specific test
plans.)
Specific test plan components include:
• Purpose for this level of test,
• Items to be tested,
• Features to be tested,
• Features not to be tested,
8. • Management and technical approach,
• Pass / Fail criteria,
• Individual roles and responsibilities,
• Milestones,
• Schedules, and
• Risk assumptions and constraints.
1.3 Scope
(Specify the plans for producing both scheduled and unscheduled updates to the
Software Test Plan (change management). Methods for distribution of updates
shall be specified along with version control and configuration management
requirements must be defined.)
Testing will be performed at several points in the life cycle as the product is
constructed. Testing is a very 'dependent' activity. As a result, test planning
is a continuing activity performed throughout the system development life
cycle. Test plans must be developed for each level of product testing.
1.4 Reference Material
