Games built on Online Social Networks (OSNs) have become a phenomenon since 3rd party developer tools were exposed by OSNs such as Facebook. Even if the game is not built on the Facebook platform, developers tend to integrate Facebook to link the gaming community. Multiplayer games are not the only ones that require a community; gamers like to show off their ranks, discuss about their experiences and also will not mind getting few tips from the community with accomplishing certain tasks in a game. The community is important for both the gamer and developer, as it could be a source of feedback, research and popularity for the game he/she is developing.
The document discusses engagement in social games and how brands can leverage this. It first defines engagement as forming an attachment with something. It then discusses demographics of social gamers, finding most are mature, working adults who are web-savvy and affluent. Examples are given of how brands can engage on Facebook through events, responding to users, and providing benefits. Ways to leverage social game engagement are through keeping users engaged longer than ads, and using incentives like those of Red Bull which uses an energy point system.
This document discusses division and classification. Division breaks things down into subunits, like dividing New York into sections for natives, commuters, and transplants. Classification places items into categories, like putting animals into the mammal category. When planning an essay, division and classification can be used to determine categories and organize the essay. The thesis should present the categories that will be used, such as dividing stereo shoppers into those focused on looks, wattage, price, or quality.
The document discusses keys to writing a successful classification or division paper. It should choose a limited topic and apply a single principle of classification or division. The classes or groups should not overlap and the classification should be reasonably complete, introducing subclasses as needed. Several examples are given of topics and the identifying principle, such as types of drivers classified by color of eyes or uses for leftovers divided according to use. Supermarket shoppers are divided into three groups based on how they shop.
Facebook is the largest social network with over 1.5 billion monthly active users. Most major brands maintain a Facebook page to engage with customers. While 95% of brand posts receive no response, Facebook advertising allows brands to boost reach and engagement.

Regular posting and interacting builds stronger customer relationships on the platform.

CTO Insights: Steering a High-Stakes Database MigrationScyllaDB
In migrating a massive, business-critical database, the Chief Technology Officer's (CTO) perspective is crucial. This endeavor requires meticulous planning, risk assessment, and a structured approach to ensure minimal disruption and maximum data integrity during the transition. The CTO's role involves overseeing technical strategies, evaluating the impact on operations, ensuring data security, and coordinating with relevant teams to execute a seamless migration while mitigating potential risks. The focus is on maintaining continuity, optimising performance, and safeguarding the business's essential data throughout the migration process

The Strategy Behind ReversingLabs’ Massive Key-Value MigrationScyllaDB
ReversingLabs recently completed the largest migration in their history: migrating more than 300 TB of data, more than 400 services, and data models from their internally-developed key-value database to ScyllaDB seamlessly, and with ZERO downtime. Services using multiple tables — reading, writing, and deleting data, and even using transactions — needed to go through a fast and seamless switch. So how did they pull it off? Martina shares their strategy, including service migration, data modeling changes, the actual data migration, and how they addressed distributed locking.
Test Management as Chapter 5 of ISTQB Foundation. Topics covered are Test Organization, Test Planning and Estimation, Test Monitoring and Control, Test Execution Schedule, Test Strategy, Risk Management, Defect Management

How to Optimize Call Monitoring: Automate QA and Elevate Customer ExperienceAggregage
The traditional method of manual call monitoring is no longer cutting it in today's fast-paced call center environment. Join this webinar where industry experts Angie Kronlage and April Wiita from Working Solutions will explore the power of automation to revolutionize outdated call review processes!
The document discusses fundamentals of software testing including definitions of testing, why testing is necessary, seven testing principles, and the test process. It describes the test process as consisting of test planning, monitoring and control, analysis, design, implementation, execution, and completion. It also outlines the typical work products created during each phase of the test process.
Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
