Creating Actionable Product Strategy by Turo Director of ProductProduct School
Main Takeaways:
- Measure what matters – Establishing the right metrics and KPIs early on can provide tremendous clarity. Driving towards the wrong goals can result in team misalignment, at best, and a failed product strategy, at worst.
- Distinguish the highest impact ideas from the good ideas
- Most companies have lots of good ideas. PMs must separate the great from the good, and craft product strategies that yield the highest impact outcomes for their customers and business.
Iterate, based on customer feedback & data – Great product strategies should evolve over time, with the ongoing incorporation of customer feedback, data, and stakeholder input. Strategies developed in a vacuum are unlikely to succeed, as are strategies that fail to evolve with the changing needs of customers.
The document discusses putting agile marketing practices into action. It begins with an introduction to agile principles like collaborative leadership, constant iteration, and customer-focused innovation. It then explains why companies need agile marketing to adapt quickly to constant change. The rest of the document provides guidance on implementing agile marketing, including establishing cross-functional teams, using techniques like sprints and user stories, and focusing on continuous learning and adaptation to meet customer needs.
Main Takeaways:
- Understanding how product functions in different organizations and leveraging that to take the next step
- Working within a product team
- Taking core product principals and making them your own

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation F...AlexanderRichford
QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation Functions to Prevent Interaction with Malicious QR Codes.
Aim of the Study: The goal of this research was to develop a robust hybrid approach for identifying malicious and insecure URLs derived from QR codes, ensuring safe interactions.
This is achieved through:
Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
Security Validation Functions: Ensures the derived URL has a valid certificate and proper URL format.
This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!

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.

Radically Outperforming DynamoDB @ Digital Turbine with SADA and Google CloudScyllaDB
Digital Turbine, the Leading Mobile Growth & Monetization Platform, did the analysis and made the leap from DynamoDB to ScyllaDB Cloud on GCP. Suffice it to say, they stuck the landing. We'll introduce Joseph Shorter, VP, Platform Architecture at DT, who lead the charge for change and can speak first-hand to the performance, reliability, and cost benefits of this move. Miles Ward, CTO @ SADA will help explore what this move looks like behind the scenes, in the Scylla Cloud SaaS platform. We'll walk you through before and after, and what it took to get there (easier than you'd guess I bet!).

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
