An Introduction To Automated API TestingSauce Labs
As more and more apps are being assembled from a rapidly expanding array of microservices, APIs are the key to accessing these new architectures. That new feature you’re working on will often rely on upstream services that can only be accessed via APIs - so to test the functionality of the new component you’ll need to simulate those services.
While APIs are the backbone of the websites and apps we rely on today, automated testing of them is only starting to grow. Join Patrick Poulin, CEO of API Fortress, as he provides an introduction to API testing, the best ways to test your own APIs using popular tools available today, and demonstrates the orchestration of API tests and Sauce Labs tests as part of a Jenkins build process.
Key takeaways:
-Clearly understand what API testing means.
-Learn about best practices.
-See demonstrations of popular testing tools.
-See API and UI/UX testing implemented as part of a Jenkins build.

Patterns and practices for building enterprise-scale HTML5 appsPhil Leggetter
Developing large apps is difficult. Ensuring that code is consistent, maintainable, testable and has an architecture that enables change is essential. As is ensuring that multiple developers – across multiple teams – can efficiently contribute to the same application. When it comes to large server-focused apps, solutions to some of these challenges have been tried and tested. But, how do you achieve this when building HTML5 single-page apps?
In this session, Phil will cover the experiences his team have had when building HTML5 apps consisting of more than 250k lines of JavaScript (plus HTML templates, CSS, image, config etc) that are contributed to by multiple teams across multiple companies. He will highlight signs to watch out for as your HTML5 SPA grows, and a set of patterns and practices that help you avoid problems. He will also explain the simple yet powerful application architecture that their HTML5 apps have that is core to ensuring they scale.
Finally, Phil will demonstrate how tooling can be used to support these patterns and practices, and enable a productive developer workflow where the first line of code is feature code, features can be developed and tested in isolation, code conflicts are avoided by grouping assets by feature, and features are composed into apps.
The document discusses 3 key ways that developing software for the cloud differs from traditional approaches:
1. Incremental delivery, with frequent small releases of new features rather than large periodic releases.
2. Increased automation, including automated testing and continuous integration/deployment pipelines to support more agile development and deployment.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix
Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

Everyone’s talking about AI but is anyone really using it to create real value?
Most companies want to leverage AI. Few know 𝗵𝗼𝘄.
✅ What exactly should you ask to find real AI opportunities?
✅ Which AI techniques actually fit your business?
✅ Is your data even ready for AI?
If you’re not sure, you’re not alone. This is a condensed version of the slides I presented at a Linkedin webinar for Tecnovy on 28.04.2025.
This is the keynote of the Into the Box conference, highlighting the release of the BoxLang JVM language, its key enhancements, and its vision for the future.
Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
HCL Nomad Web – Best Practices und Verwaltung von Multiuser-Umgebungenpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-nomad-web-best-practices-und-verwaltung-von-multiuser-umgebungen/
HCL Nomad Web wird als die nächste Generation des HCL Notes-Clients gefeiert und bietet zahlreiche Vorteile, wie die Beseitigung des Bedarfs an Paketierung, Verteilung und Installation. Nomad Web-Client-Updates werden “automatisch” im Hintergrund installiert, was den administrativen Aufwand im Vergleich zu traditionellen HCL Notes-Clients erheblich reduziert. Allerdings stellt die Fehlerbehebung in Nomad Web im Vergleich zum Notes-Client einzigartige Herausforderungen dar.
Begleiten Sie Christoph und Marc, während sie demonstrieren, wie der Fehlerbehebungsprozess in HCL Nomad Web vereinfacht werden kann, um eine reibungslose und effiziente Benutzererfahrung zu gewährleisten.
In diesem Webinar werden wir effektive Strategien zur Diagnose und Lösung häufiger Probleme in HCL Nomad Web untersuchen, einschließlich
- Zugriff auf die Konsole
- Auffinden und Interpretieren von Protokolldateien
- Zugriff auf den Datenordner im Cache des Browsers (unter Verwendung von OPFS)
- Verständnis der Unterschiede zwischen Einzel- und Mehrbenutzerszenarien
- Nutzung der Client Clocking-Funktion
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in BusinessDr. Tathagat Varma
My talk for the Indian School of Business (ISB) Emerging Leaders Program Cohort 9. In this talk, I discussed key issues around adoption of GenAI in business - benefits, opportunities and limitations. I also discussed how my research on Theory of Cognitive Chasms helps address some of these issues
2. What is Web Services ?
• IA web service is a function that can be accessed by other programs
over the web (Http)
• Example: I can go to maps.google.com, and type in my home
address, and see a map of where I live in my browser.
3. REST vs SOAP
• REST allows a greater variety of data formats, whereas SOAP only
allows XML.
• REST is generally faster and uses less bandwidth.
• REST is simple to handle than SOAP.
• REST more secure as compared to SOAP as it can be integrated with
any security protocol.
• REST is very restrictive than SOAP.
• REST runs on HTTP where SOAP runs on XML
5. How we do testing Web Services
• Read theWDSL file obtain information such as End Point, Parameters
and Expected Response.
• Use tools such as SOAP UI, ReadyAPI, SOAP Sonar, Fiddler or POST
MAN
• Send requests with different parameters and checks for response.
• Should do positive as well as exploratory (negative) test onWeb
Services.
6. Test Automation of Web Services
• Web Service testing should be automated if its viable.
• There are different tool sets to automateWeb Services test
8. What is a Microservice ?
Micro Services is also a form of a Service Oriented Architecture which now talk of the town.
In a Micro Services Architecture (MCA) there are many autonomous service components,
which are called processors that communicate each other via an HTTP channel.This is also
called inter process communication.
These services are;
· Developed in different programming languages and uses different databases
· They can be easily added/replaced or removed within the architecture
· They can be easily plugged to user interfaces
· They can have different context, autonomously developed and integrated
independently
These services architecture helps continues delivery as easily each individual micro service
component can be added to the architecture without interrupting the existing functionality
and interconnections.
· Allows and achieves benefits of scalability
10. Types of Microservices Testing
UnitTesting –This is to test internal working of individual
Micro Services test unit.These can be automated at each
programming level using automated unit testing framework.
ContractTesting –This is to test that each Micro Services unit
adheres to the given functionalities provided in the contract
established. Here each service component is tested
individually as a black box.
IntegrationTesting –This checks that more than one service
communicates each other and provides the desired results
given in the service functional level document.
UI FunctionalTesting –This where services are integrated with a UI
and testing is done via a UI where inputs needed by the Micro
Services are given via the UI and desired output is also tested via a
UI.
14. How to test IOT?
Test the Web Service the IOT device communicates. Create automation test scripts that will test the
functionality of the IOT application
