According to a survey conducted on software test automation , 51% of organisations prefer to retrain existing staff in test automation skills. Thus, it is clear that automated testing is the way to go for the software testing industry. We don’t have manual doctors, lawyers or software developers. For e.g. Scrum or Kanban.

Just think of it like a stricter version of designing your software in such a way that it is easily testable).

You can use readelf –l or –S to see the program/section header information as well as dump the PT_LOAD.

In industry, generally due to time-to-market restrictions, we tend to think extremely short term with evolutionary design changes rather than riskier revolutionary ideas that have a longer timeline for returns. However, a similar near term bias exists in academia. Discounting the Past. The same myopic view clouds us as researchers.

But we, as technologists, have typically ignored our own expectations when designing and building those devices. If the devices aren’t designed with those expectations in mind, they’re destined for the landfill. When designing an experience, you need to consider the identity context and where the experience will take place.
