Fundamentals of Software Testing
by Bernard HomèsSoftware testing has greatly evolved since the first edition of this book in 2011. Testers are now required to work in "agile" teams and focus on automating test cases. It has thus been necessary to update this work, in order to provide fundamental knowledge that testers should have to be effective and efficient in today's world. This book describes the fundamental aspects of testing in the different lifecycles, and how to implement and benefit from reviews and static analysis. Multiple other techniques are approached, such as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, use case testing, decision tables and state transitions. This second edition also covers test management, test progress monitoring and incident management, in order to ensure that the testing information is correctly provided to the stakeholders. This book provides detailed course-study material for the 2023 version of the ISTQB Foundation level syllabus, including sample questions to help prepare for exams.

Numerous examples are included and, for ease of reproducibility, the Python, R, and Stata codes used in the text, along with the related datasets, are available online.The intended audience is PhD students, researchers and practitioners from various disciplines, including economics and other social sciences, medicine and epidemiology, who have a good understanding of basic statistics and a working knowledge of statistical software, and who want to apply machine learning methods in their work.
Fundamentals of Trace and Log Analysis: A Pattern-Oriented Approach to Monitoring, Diagnostics, and Debugging
by Dmitry VostokovThis book will help you analyze traces and logs from different software environments and communicate analysis results using a pattern language that covers everything from a small debugging log to a distributed trace with billions of messages from hundreds of computers, thousands of software components, threads, and processes. The book begins with the basic terminology of operating systems and programming, the foundation for understanding trace and log analysis. It then talks about patterns that help describe problems from a user’s view and patterns for errors and failures. Then, the book covers a range of trace patterns that group messages, and explores how logs depict software activities. It even examines specific message patterns and how they connect in a single trace. Moving forward, you’ll review patterns for multiple traces and logs and how to evaluate them. In this way, you can use similar methods to find problems across a wide variety of software. The book also provides guidance for analyzing issues on systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and other types of computers, including those in networks and the Internet of Things, regardless of their system differences. Upon completing this book, you will be able to navigate the complexities of trace and log analysis and apply uniform diagnostics and anomaly detection pattern language across diverse software environments to help you troubleshoot, debug, and fix issues. What You Will Learn Understand pattern language for trace and log analysisGain a pattern-oriented methodology for trace and log analysis applicable to various domains, including cybersecurityMaster the fundamentals of operating systems and programming related to trace and log analysisUnderstand observed behavior in traces and logs, which aids incident response, diagnostics, root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and debugging Who This Book Is For Software technical support engineers, system and network administrators, software developers, testers, DevOps and DevSecOps, digital forensics and malware analysts, security incident response engineers, data analysts, and data mining practitioners.

Funding a Revolution: Government Support for Computing Research
by National Research CouncilThe past 50 years have witnessed a revolution in computing and related communications technologies. The contributions of industry and university researchers to this revolution are manifest; less widely recognized is the major role the federal government played in launching the computing revolution and sustaining its momentum. Funding a Revolution examines the history of computing since World War II to elucidate the federal government's role in funding computing research, supporting the education of computer scientists and engineers, and equipping university research labs. It reviews the economic rationale for government support of research, characterizes federal support for computing research, and summarizes key historical advances in which government-sponsored research played an important role.Funding a Revolution contains a series of case studies in relational databases, the Internet, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality that demonstrate the complex interactions among government, universities, and industry that have driven the field. It offers a series of lessons that identify factors contributing to the success of the nation's computing enterprise and the government's role within it.

Funktionelles Zusammenspiel von Gehirn und Herz: Von der Physiologie zur fortgeschrittenen Methodik der Signalverarbeitung und -modellierung
by Gaetano Valenza Vincenzo CatramboneDiese Monographie bietet einen systemübergreifenden Austausch und eine modalitätsübergreifende Untersuchung des Zusammenspiels von Gehirn und Herz. Das Zusammenspiel von Gehirn und Herz (Brain-Heart Interplay, BHI) ist ein hochgradig interdisziplinäres wissenschaftliches Thema, das sich von der Physiologie des zentralen/autonomen Nervensystems, insbesondere des zentral-autonomen Netzwerks, bis hin zu fortgeschrittener Signalverarbeitung und Modellierung zur Quantifizierung seiner Aktivität erstreckt. Motiviert durch klinische Befunde und unterstützt durch die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Neurophysiologie, untersucht diese Monographie zunächst die Definition grundlegender Quantifizierer des Zusammenspiels von Gehirn und Herz und geht dann zu fortgeschrittenen Methoden für die Bewertung von Gesundheits- und Krankheitszuständen über. Der nicht-invasive Einsatz von Techniken zur Überwachung des Gehirns, einschließlich des Elektroenzephalogramms und der funktionellen Magnetresonanztomographie, wird zusammen mit der Überwachung der Herzschlagdynamik durch Pulsoximeter und EKG-Signale beschrieben.Das Buch richtet sich insbesondere an biomedizinische Ingenieure und Mediziner mit Fachkenntnissen in Statistik und/oder Signalverarbeitung.

Funktionstrennung in ERP-Systemen
by Petra Maria AsprionEin unverzichtbares Instrument zum Management von Risiken ist die Aufteilung von Tätigkeiten auf mehrere Personen. Aus der Organisationslehre stammend, wurde das Konzept der Funktionstrennung auf betriebliche Softwareanwendungen transformiert und in Form von Zugriffsrechten abgebildet. Petra Maria Asprion erläutert aktuelle Konzepte und Methoden zur Funktionstrennung unter Berücksichtigung aktueller Compliance-Anforderungen. Einen Schwerpunkt bildet die Sanierung unzureichender Funktionstrennungen sowie der Einsatz spezieller Software. Auf Basis einer qualitativen Studie stellt sie Faktoren dar, die die Assimilation solcher Software fördern bzw. verhindern.
