I've worked with quite a few companies for which long-lived software assets remain critical to day-to-day operations, ranging from 20-year-old ERP systems to custom software products that first processed a transaction way back in the 1960s. Several things stand out about these initiatives.

Regression testing comprises re-running the test cases of already stable features and finding out if the new code changes attributed to the new release led to any negative impacts on the existing functionalities. Regression checks should start as soon as a new build is released for testing and should be repeated for every new code build.

Basis path testing in software testing is a white box method where the tester examines the codebase to identify all possible paths that could be taken by the user to achieve their aims. The tester established a baseline by selecting the most critical, common, or obvious path through the code selection.

“It’s written in ones and zeroes - binary code. At the lowest level, all computers are programmed with strings of ones and zeroes. When you program in machine language, you are controlling the computer at its brainstem, the root of its existence. For example in the code: 1. . “Is this another analogy?”

Traditional IT projects are mass economy-of-scale exercises: once development begins, armies of developers are unleashed. Traditionally in IT, our gatekeepers are typically several different waves of requirements and specification documents, then software, then test results, then a production event.

For Federal, State and Local agencies to take full advantage of the agility and responsiveness of a DevOps approach to the software lifecycle, Security must also play an integral role across lifecycle stages. Modern DevOps permits high velocity development cycles resulting in weekly, daily, or even hourly software releases.

Running many different workloads multi-tenant on a host necessitates the prevention lateral movement, a technique in which the attacker compromises a single piece of software running in a container on the system, and uses that to compromise other containers on the same system. Let’s go back to that kernel code example earlier.

Program Management Offices (PMOs) are at the nexus of this. This means that lots of development tasks may be flagged as “complete” but they’re complete only by assertion of a developer, not by “fact” of somebody who has exercised the code from end-to-end. Code has been written, but it may not be functional, let alone useful.

On the last morning of the conference Daniel Bittman presented some of the work being done in the context of the Twizzler OS project to explore new programming models for NVM. The starting point is a set of three asumptions for an NVM-based programming model: Compared to traditional persistent media, NVM is fast.

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years.

It's worth assessing these claims from most easily falsified to most contested.

Software today is not typically a single program—something that is executed by an operator or user, producing a result to that person—but rather a service : something that runs for the benefit of its consumers, a provider of value. The most common programming task in the world. Let’s dive into this concept for a bit.

Consider the lab exercise to implement Paxos. The hardest part of the class for many students is learning to think about their code as inherently distributed.
