10 An Approximation Simulator for Designing and Developing Accessible Java Sw...
Failure to determine the requirements for accessibility support in rich Internet applications (RIA), and to verify that such support meets the needs of people with disabilities will result in the continued poor or non-existent levels of access for these applications. Developers and designers face a real challenge when implementing software that has to cope with a lot of interaction situations, as well as specific directives for ensuring an accessible interaction. In this paper we propose an approximation simulator for JavaTM Swing applications. The proposed tool will assist developers and designers to explore user-centred design and incorporate important accessibility features for their JavaTM Swing software implementations.
Elizabeth Snowdon is a senior usability analyst at Sage Software who has been conducting usability studies since 2003. She discusses remote usability testing, which involves testing sessions where the participant and moderator are not physically in the same place but communicate electronically. Some advantages of remote testing are that it expands recruitment populations, saves costs compared to in-person lab testing, and allows testing in users' natural environments. However, remote testing has disadvantages like not being able to see participants' screens and potential technical issues. Snowdon provides an example case study where remote testing saved $50,000 compared to in-lab testing.

The document provides an overview of the Imagine Cup, an international computer technology competition for students. It discusses that the competition has five categories and six special awards, and teams can have 1-4 students plus a mentor and sponsor. Competing provides experience like working with a live client, getting feedback, and a resume boost. Finalists get career and networking opportunities. The commitment includes developing a software/hardware invention, creating a presentation video, and potentially traveling for finals. Mentors provide guidance while sponsors offer resources but cannot claim ownership of projects. The document lists example projects from past finalists and best practices like having multi-disciplinary teams and getting early feedback.
This document outlines strategies used by a remote development team at OutSystems to improve quality and reduce bugs. The team initially struggled with technical issues like JavaScript and SQL. To address this, they implemented a ramp up plan to improve skills. However, they realized technical skills were not the only issue, as some bugs stemmed from not meeting business expectations. To solve this, the team introduced practices like using user stories instead of features to improve communication, defining acceptance criteria, conducting usability testing, and setting definitions for "ready" and "done". By applying these strategies, the team was able to progress out of their comfort zone and start delivering apps with zero bugs.
Isn't it amazing? Stakeholders drop software on our desks and expect us to test it—without any requirements, design, or product knowledge whatsoever. About the only clear thing is the absurd and unrealistic deadline. We are expected to bend over backward, spread magic pixie dust, and heroically test quality into a product we have never heard of before. But testing in the dark is not impossible, and as Rob Sabourin shows, it can even be a very valuable and fun experience. Learn strategies to emerge from a murky fog into clear, meaningful quality insights. Leverage unlikely sources about what stakeholders care about and what users really need the software to do. Rob introduces you to methods of reconnaissance-style, charter-driven, and session-based exploratory testing and helps you provide meaningful estimates to stakeholders with minimal hard information about the software under test. Rob shares recent experiences testing in the dark on chaotic and turbulent projects, turning his product ignorance into a testing superpower. Join Rob’s quest to find important bugs fast while testing in the dark—and you, too, will see the light!
The document compares the Waterfall and Agile models of software development. The Waterfall model follows sequential phases from requirements to deployment, while the Agile model emphasizes iterative development and frequent customer feedback. Waterfall aims for predictability and documentation but can face challenges from changes, while Agile enables adaptation but may lack up-front planning. Examples provided include using Waterfall for systems like healthcare apps and Agile for websites and social media.
This document summarizes a presentation about crashes in Android apps. It shows statistics that 11% of app reviews cite crashes as an issue. The presentation introduces common types of crashes like null pointer exceptions, out of memory errors, and index out of bounds.

The presentation encourages using common sense, focusing on user experience, leveraging tools, and being a helpful developer.
Agile Practice Webinar: User Story Canvas and how to use it
Building shared understanding in a scaled and distributed Agile environment is tough: big picture view of a product is often lost; team members in one location are not aware of activities in another one; everyone is using standards of their own…
Common misunderstanding of User Story concept puts even larger investment into that mess.
At Agile Practice we have developed a special tool for discussing and documenting User Stories. We call it User Story Canvas. During this webinar we are going to present the tool, provide detailed description and demonstrate usage examples.
During the webinar we will cover:
* The need of building shared understanding and common consequences of not having it
* User Story Canvas areas in details
* How to use User Story Canvas on different product levels

It provides details on using the AXE JavaScript API to integrate accessibility tests into existing automation frameworks.
This document discusses different approaches and tools for evaluating the accessibility of UX designs, including automated testing, manual testing, usability testing, and assistive technology testing. Automated testing involves using tools to scan designs and flag issues, but they don't find everything. Manual testing checks designs against accessibility standards and provides recommendations. Usability testing gets feedback from real users of different abilities. Assistive technology testing examines how designs work with technologies like screen readers.
This document discusses strategies for maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of accessibility (A11Y) testing. It describes an experiment where a Fortune 50 client had all their pages, apps, and stages of development tested for A11Y by a single expert, which was less expensive and more accurate than previous approaches. However, the document warns against having QA testers conduct specialized tasks like mobile or screen reader testing without proper training. It proposes a new AVT (Accessibility Verification Testing) process that divides tasks between experts and QA based on whether they require conceptual A11Y knowledge or more concrete testing. The document also describes an experiment where an A11Y expert paired with an engineer to rapidly share their different strengths and perspectives to perform

Bringing Quality Design Systems to Life with Storybook & ApplitoolsApplitools
** Full webinar recording: https://youtu.be/R6WnEzlMHac **
Bringing design systems and component libraries to life can be a large, challenging process without the right tools. On top of that, maintaining a high level of quality throughout those systems brings its own challenge.
While there’s no shortage of ways to manually create a design system from scratch, doing so can be time consuming and can lead to technical debt when the system itself isn’t itself in a structure.
Storybook is a tool for developers that helps bring design systems and component libraries to life, providing structured tooling and a web dashboard. It gives those developers, and even designers, a way to focus on each individual component while being able to see the system from a higher perspective.
On top of that, Applitools is an automated Visual Testing solution that easily stacks right on top of Storybook with the Storybook Eyes SDK. With a single command, Applitools provides full test coverage for each component of your design system.
Join Developer Advocate, Colby Fayock, as he walks through:
How to take advantage of using Storybook to build scalable design systems
How Applitools makes automating the testing of those components easy
How to focus on building great experiences while automating quality checks with visual testing

The document discusses accessibility testing at PayPal. It provides an overview of topics to be covered including what accessibility is, why it's needed, standards, common myths, frequent errors, and the need for a customized evaluation tool. It then goes into more detail on specific topics such as how to plan for and conduct accessibility testing, frameworks used, and how an automated testing tool was developed using a Maven plugin to integrate testing into their continuous integration process.
This document discusses automation in software testing. It begins by explaining that manual testing is done by a human executing test steps, while automation testing uses a tool to execute test cases, enter test data, compare results, and generate reports. Automating test suites allows them to be re-run without human intervention. The goal of automation is not to eliminate manual testing, but to reduce the number of manually run test cases. Automation testing is important because manual testing of all scenarios is time-consuming, automation can run tests unattended, and increases test coverage and speed. Successful automation requires the right tool, process, and team. Common automation tools discussed are QTP, Selenium, Rational Robot, TestComplete, and Watir. The

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise
⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications

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.

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.

Editor's Notes
Accessibility is about giving equal access to everyone.
In most societies, however, there are innumerable obstacles and barriers that hinder persons with disabilities.
These include such things as stairs, lack of information in accessible formats such as Braille and sign language.
Coming to the Digital side of things, Digital Accessibility is the need of the hour. Given the pandemic situation, we are forced to work from home which maybe new for most of us, but this has been normal for a few people with disabilities.
If you app isn’t accessible, you are creating barriers and making their impairment a disability
