IT OT Integration_Vishnu_Murali_05262016_UPDATEDVishnu Murali
The document discusses a 2015 survey that found collaboration between IT and OT teams is lacking in many manufacturers. Less than half of respondents said the teams collaborated on upgrading systems, and only 37% reported collaborating on technical issues. Nearly 10% reported no collaboration. The document also discusses challenges with integrating IT and OT, including different approaches, skill sets, and priorities around availability, security, and real-time response. It presents a framework for levels of IT-OT integration, from research to transformation, and questions for discussion around challenges, skills gaps, security approaches, and stakeholder buy-in.
The document discusses Lean methodology which focuses on eliminating waste to produce high quality products faster and at lower cost. Lean aims to streamline processes through techniques like single piece flow, just-in-time production, and eliminating non-value added activities to improve throughput, quality, and customer satisfaction. Key aspects of Lean covered include value stream mapping, reducing the seven wastes, line balancing, managing bottlenecks, setup reduction, pull systems, and visual management.

Time Series Vs Order based Planning in SAP IBPAYAN BISHNU
A comparison of time series based supply planning vs Order based supply planning in SAP IBP, taking into considerations, some of the most needed solution across industries.
alue Stream Mapping (VSM) is a visual tool used to analyze and design the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service from conception to customer. It is a method of Lean Manufacturing that focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of processes. The goal of VSM is to identify and eliminate waste, while creating a smoother flow of work and reducing lead time.
A VSM diagram typically includes a representation of each step in the process, including suppliers, production steps, inventory, and customers. The mapping process involves gathering data and information on the current state of the process and then creating a visual representation of the flow, including wait times, processing times, and movement of materials. The next step is to identify areas for improvement and make changes to the process to create a more efficient "future state" map.
Value Stream Mapping can be used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and software development, to streamline processes, reduce waste, and improve customer satisfaction. By visualizing the entire process, it becomes easier to identify bottlenecks, eliminate non-value-added activities, and create a more efficient workflow.
This document provides an overview of materials requirement planning (MRP). It discusses that MRP has three phases - planning, action, and control. MRP determines the quantity and timing for acquiring dependent demand items to satisfy production schedules. MRP is a production planning and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes. The document then discusses the history, objectives, inputs/outputs, types of MRP users, and advantages and disadvantages of MRP.
Value stream mapping is a practical and highly effective way to learn to see and resolve disconnects, redundancies, and gaps in how work gets done.
This VSM project template helps you and your project team to put together a "storyboard" for effective presentation to your key stakeholders. It includes four key phases:
1) Define and pick product/service family
2) Create a current state map
3) Develop a future state map
4) Develop an implementation plan
This document consists of a VSM project template in Powerpoint format and a set of Excel templates comprising VSM charter, Results table, Implementation Plan and common VSM icons.

The Value Stream Mapping (VSM) Poster describes the four key phases of managing a value stream mapping project in an organization. The poster comes in two themes: color and monochrome. Formatted in PDF, the poster can be easily printed on an A3-sized paper.
The VSM Poster complements the 'Value Stream Mapping' training presentation materials. It is an effective tool that can be printed and distributed to attendees of your VSM workshop session. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your VSM presentation.
The VSM Poster describes the four main phases of value stream mapping activities:
1. DEFINE PRODUCT FAMILY
Prepare for the value stream mapping activity; define the value stream mapping charter, including objective, scope and product family.
1.1 Define and scope problem
1.2 Pick product family
1.3 Determine value stream mapping objective and benefits
1.4 Create value stream mapping project charter
2. DOCUMENT CURRENT STATE
Document the current state so as to gain a deep understanding about your current work systems and the related barriers to delivering value.
2.1 Map current state value stream
2.2 Quantify current state value stream performance
2.3 Analyze and identify improvement opportunities
3. DESIGN FUTURE STATE
Design a future state value stream map that enables outstanding performance on all fronts; prioritize improvement projects.
3.1 Develop future state value stream map
3.2 Prioritize improvement projects
4. CREATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Adopt the new design, create an implementation plan and lay the foundation for continued improvement.
4.1 Develop implementation plan
4.2 Seek management approval
4.3 Implement the plan and monitor progress
The document outlines the control phase tools and activities for a Lean Six Sigma project. It includes reviewing project documentation, validating goals and benefits, developing standard operating procedures and controls, implementing and monitoring the solution, confirming attainment of goals, identifying opportunities for replication, and transitioning the project to the process owner. Key metrics are monitored to ensure the process remains in control. Lessons learned are captured to improve future projects.
Standard Work for Leaders is a lean approach and method to enable leaders to provide daily support in both strategy deployment and culture development. The leaders follow a three step process of developing the daily standard tasks to check on strategy deployment, installing visual management at the value stream to understand the progress and results, and finally using the Gemba walk to ensure daily progress.
The document provides an introduction to standardized work. It discusses how standardized work was developed based on principles from Henry Ford's assembly line and mass production techniques. The purpose of standardized work is to document the most efficient work methods and use it as a baseline for continuous improvement. It defines the work sequence, cycle time, and standard in-process inventory levels. Benefits include eliminating waste, easier problem identification, and establishing a flexible manufacturing system.
The implementation of BMW Group's strategy leads to a transformation towards a mobility tech company. This impacts customer experience, shareholders, stakeholders, partners and employees. BMW Group IT is organized in a worldwide network across 60 nationalities in 29 countries. All main departments work within BizDevOps structures in close collaboration with business units. Process mining helps BMW Group improve products/services, achieve data-driven production, and bring the agile transformation to the next level, though challenges remain in transparency, quantifying value, and scaling the process mining team.
Lean management aims to maximize customer value through reducing waste. It addresses issues like prolonged cycle times, high costs, waste, and dissatisfied customers/employees. The balanced scorecard is a tool used in lean management with four perspectives - financial, customer, business processes, and learning and growth. Alternatives to lean management include Six Sigma, scientific management, Fordism, and the theory of constraints. Lean management focuses on overall process improvement compared to alternatives that target individual systems.
The document discusses different types of companies that develop software projects, the typical project development process, and the roles and responsibilities of a business analyst. It describes product-based companies that develop applications for global clients and service-based companies that develop applications for specific clients. The project development process involves a client issuing an RFP, software companies responding with proposals, signing a statement of work, project kickoff meetings, creating requirements documents, design, development, testing, and client acceptance. The roles of a business analyst include gathering requirements, documentation, prototyping, training, and clarifying issues. Key skills for a BA include communication, documentation, and understanding technical aspects.
This document provides an overview of Kanban, an agile project management methodology. It begins with limitations of current systems like bottlenecks and bugs. Kanban was developed at Toyota to visualize workflow using cards on boards. It aims to limit work-in-progress by pulling work instead of pushing it. Key principles include incremental change and respecting current processes. Practices include visualizing workflow, limiting work-in-progress, managing flow, and improving collaboratively. Benefits are simplicity, reduced waste and costs, while limitations include difficulty resizing cards as demand changes. The document concludes with a quote from a project manager praising Kanban's visibility into the project status.

La medición total del software nos permite medir todos los aspectos que lo forman: funcionales y no funcionales. El software es un producto completamente distinto al resto, entenderlo y medirlo bien en todas sus facetas es una misión importante que nos beneficiará a la hora de gestionar con éxito nuestros proyectos: sin medición no sabemos si mejoramos y sin mejora, estamos peridos. Conoceremos los distintos requisitos del software y como abordar su medición con diferentes métodos así como un estudio de los métodos más utilizados en la industria.
In his book ‘Software Metrics and Software Metrology’ Dr. Abran has used a number of metrology concepts to document structural weaknesses in the design of well-known software metrics and, from the lessons learned, he has illustrated next how some metrology criteria had been taken into account in the design of the 2nd generation of a measurement method for the functional size of a software.
In this talk, Dr. Abran will present some key metrology-related lessons learned from the past and how they relate to software measurement. He will also share recent insights from his exploration of the relevance and use of metrology concepts for software measurement, and how close or how far are we in a journey towards the design (and acceptance…) of an 8th base measure for software?
‘Many ad hoc software metrics have been defined and used. But when neither the methods of established metrology nor any comparable alternative are applied, the outcome is metrics and procedures that do not meet expectations for metrological rigor and results whose meaning and significance are unclear.’
From: ‘A Rational Foundation for Software Metrology’ – NIST 2016

Estimación del esfuerzo y costo necesarios para el desarrollo de un proyecto ...Software Guru
Hacer una estimación de bajo hacia arriba es inviable si todavía no hay una estructura de proyecto disponible, hacer una estimación solamente basada en analogía es muy subjetivo y no se puede aprender de los errores cometidos.
El objetivo de este webinar es introducir el método de medición de COSMIC y presentar una propuesta para derivar unidades de producto a partir de los requerimientos funcionales del usuario en diferentes representaciones.
El documento describe el proceso de estimación de puntos de función (PF), una métrica para medir el tamaño de un sistema de software. Explica cómo identificar los componentes de un sistema, asignar pesos basados en complejidad, calcular los PF sin ajustar y ajustados, y estimar el esfuerzo, duración y presupuesto de un proyecto basado en los PF.
There is a growing interest during last years in a better understanding of the inner meaning of ‘product value’ as perceived from the final customer, looking at possible techniques and new ways to anticipate and better capturing requirements from early stages. But even if more and more professionals and IT organizations achieve certifications on their personal knowledge or organizational maturity that should go in that direction, few attention is paid to the project closure phase and to the historicization of project data. If planned and gathered at the right level of granularity, effort data could explain and represent a valuable knowledge base – jointly with some requirement metrics - about how to create and reinforce the value to deliver to customer. This paper provides a list of possible improvement actions derived from practical experience that can bring more value to software products moving from better and more accurate project management and measurement processes.

Project Manager and Business Analyst - Allies or EnnemiesMarc Bonnemains
This document summarizes a presentation given by Marc Bonnemains on the relationship between project managers and business analysts. It discusses how their roles complement each other to define project scope and requirements. While project managers focus on delivering solutions through project management and business analysts focus on defining business value, they must work together closely. Their relationship requires clear roles and responsibilities, open communication, and mutual trust and respect. Understanding how their knowledge and responsibilities overlap is key to ensuring project success.

The document summarizes NBC Universal's implementation of HP Project and Portfolio Management Center (PPMC) to standardize its IT demand management and project execution processes. Key points:
- Phase 1 streamlined operational demand processes, replacing custom tools with PPMC configuration. This provided improved visibility and data for support requests.
- Phase 2 implemented strategic demand management in PPMC, including proposals/project linking, resource planning, and financial management. This provided increased project visibility and cost tracking.
- The implementation followed a "recipe for success" using a phased approach over 2009-2010, configured PPMC when possible, and included organizational change management.
Project Management and Measurement: what relationship?Luigi Buglione
Here are the key points about measurement in the IEEE SWEBOK:
- The SWEBOK defines measurement as a knowledge area that is part of software engineering. So it considers measurement to be a distinct process.
- The purpose of measurement in software engineering is to provide meaningful feedback for managing and controlling software development processes and products.

The missing links in software estimation: Work, Team Loading and Team PowerLuigi Buglione
This presentation investigates the theoretical foundation of the basic concepts used in software effort estimation, productivity measurement and benchmarking. By elaborating on how similar concepts are defined and used in well-established engineering fields, we aim to shed light on some inconsistent and fallacious use of concepts and units of measure, resulting misconceptions and their consequences in project planning. Particularly, we focus on ‘Work’, ‘Team Power’ and ‘Team Loading’, analyzing the way many studies from the ‘70s on faced such issue. Too often projects fail for being late and not always adding new resources allows respecting established milestones as well as the established quality levels. After setting the theoretical layout, we present the results of an empirical investigation we made using the data in the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) dataset D&E (Development & Enhancement) v13, using both COSMIC and IFPUG data for Business and Real-Time applications. The results indicate that a considerable number of projects might have been poorly planned and utilized human resources inefficiently, and hence paid much higher costs. Hence, we suggest software companies to revisit the productivity data of the past projects as well as evaluating the new ones by measuring Team Power, Team Loading and comparing to Team Size utilized.
Risk Management: Achieving Higher Maturity & Capability Levels through the LE...Luigi Buglione
A common challenge in life is to evaluate and deal with risks. Even though Risk management is fundamental to any activity, it is too often evaluated and managed from a qualitative rather than a quantitative perspective. In order to improve, too often organizations are seeking compliance against a single model/approach, forgetting that most often ‘one model doesn’t fit all’ and that the target process model is the organizational one, strengthened by external best practices. An approach to process improvement that takes this into consideration is LEGO (Living EnGineering prOcess). LEGO extracts the most useful Elements of Interest (EoI) from several types of maturity models into an organizational Business Process Model (BPM) in order to facilitate to the achievement of higher organizational maturity and capability levels, that’s the definitive intended target to be improved. This paper applies the LEGO approach to Risk Management, analyzing several Risk Management Maturity Models and unifying their practices in order to come up with a more comprehensive process model on risk management integrating multiple views.
L4A - Lean for (being) Agile - Some thoughts and tips for a progressive path ...Luigi Buglione
‘Agile’ risks to be a very (ab)used term in the ICT (and not) community during last years. Agile means – as in the Agile Manifesto – to be responsive, working in team and be ready to change. But what do we need for really being agile? The answer is simple: start to be (before) LEAN in order to be (after) AGILE. Too often these two terms risk to be meant as synonyms, but they are different and complementary to each other. The presentation will show a possible path to do that, adopting Lean techniques as suggested by Six Sigma for reducing wastes (the seven ‘muda’) and only then adopting Agile ones, also applied to Functional (and not) Sizing Methods, such as Function Points and SNAP. Note from the conference organizers: “Muda” is a Japanese word meaning “waste”. The Toyota Production System identified seven types of “muda”.
From Software to Service Sustainability: a still Broader PerspectiveLuigi Buglione
This paper proposes an approach to enlarge the view from software (products) to services, because a service is a broader container than a project and can include software as well as other assets to be managed from an Asset Management perspective. Hybridizing typical software and service management models and frameworks could help organizations in a better management of their assets, stressing more the (inner) value of intangibles and of a good mid-long term strategy, passing for a valuable proposition of MVVs (Mission-Vision-Values).
The Significance of IFPUG Base Functionality Types in Effort Estimation - An ...Luigi Buglione
This document presents an empirical study on using different IFPUG base functionality types (BFCs) like external inputs, external outputs, external queries, internal logical files, and external interface files in effort estimation. The study uses project data from the ISBSG repository containing information on functional size, effort, application type, development type, and other attributes. Statistical analysis is performed on various subsets of the data based on filters. The results show that using multiple BFCs together in estimation, instead of just total function points, increases the correlation with effort significantly. This implies BFC types should be considered to obtain better estimation accuracy.
In Information and Communication Technology (ICT) a ‘deliverable’ may be either software (perceived as an ‘output’) or a service (perceived as an ‘outcome’). On the one hand, the differences between software and service have led to the design of parallel models and lifecycles with more commonalities than differences, thereby not supporting the adoption of different frameworks. For instance, a software project could be managed applying best practices for services (e.g. ITIL), while some processes (e.g. Verification & Validation) are better defined in models of the Software Management domain. Thus, this paper aims at reconciling these differences and provides suggestions for a better joint usage of models/frameworks. To unify existing models we use the LEGO approach, which aims at keeping the element of interest from any potential model/framework for being inserted in the process architecture of the target Business Process Model (BPM) of an organization, strengthening the organizational way of working. An example of a LEGO application is presented to show the benefit from the joint view of the ‘software + service’ sides as a whole across the project lifecycle, increasing the opportunity to have many more sources for this type of improvement task.
A Murphological View on Software Measurement: a serious joke or a funny seri...Luigi Buglione
The 30-year experience from the Software Measurement field explains that a strong resistance usually comes from project team members, supposing the real objective is a personal evaluation on their performance and not a neutral measurement for a concrete process improvement. Concurrently, from the middle ‘80s a series of SPI models - such as the Software Capability Maturity Model (Sw-CMM) and nowadays its evolution, the CMMI –provided a guide for realizing a real improvement, where measurement played an important role, before as a Common Feature, then as a separate process (MA – Measurement and Analysis) at Level 2. But a certain resistance still remain alive also after these years.
Recently, in the Management field (and also in ICT) more than “serious” books and reference guides it seems that (apparent) semi-serious publications such as the Dilbert strips by Scott Adams are referenced in technical presentations and papers as a starting point for commenting daily ICT malpractices. If so, another good source for “joking” with such serious things are some of the most know laws, the “Murphy’s laws”, originally written by Arthur Block and after created/modified by plenty of people worldwide and published over the Internet in a sort of “GNU licence for humour”.
This paper tries to propose a “murphological view” on Software Measurement issues, commenting some related measurement-related laws and providing links with main SPI practices at the aim to reduce the percentage of failures in application of Software Measurement programs, as noted by H.Rubin some years ago.
Do we really re-use our knowledge (or not)?Luigi Buglione
Looking back to the last 25 years in IT, one of the most used, practical IT ‘inventions’ has been the ‘cut & paste’ mechanism, that’s a reuse of a previous artefact. But looking to ICT organizations in these turbulent years – no matter if they deal with software and/ services – many of them seem to do not be designed for resilience. From a root-cause analysis (RCA), one of the main ‘bones’ for improvement is the lack of reuse of organizations’ experience, in terms of historical data, artefacts, processes, etc.
Thus, re-using the ‘internal knowledge’ (before thinking to software reuse) is – as many Process Improvement models like MPS.BR (both the SW and the SV constellations) affirm – one of the real ‘wheels’ driving an organization to achieve success, measured not only by ROI but also by VOI (Value on Investment), because the more and more relevance in understanding the role and value of intangibles in our business.
The keynote presentation will move from evidences and well-known industrial stories for discussing and understanding where knowledge has (or not) been the key driver for organizational success, which possible barriers to that and how multi-model approaches as LEGO (Living EnGineering prOcess) could help an organization in achieving such goals in an easier way, betting mostly on people knowledge, as the ‘building perspective’ also looking to the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) schema and logical flow.
Balanced Measurement Sets: Criteria for Improving Project Management PracticesLuigi Buglione
The availability of a measurement framework right at the early stage of a project can have a very positive impact in the management of software development process. In this paper, we cope with this problem proposing a methodology that can allow an early adoption of balanced measurement sets, which will be iteratively refined at each iteration of the process. The proposed methodology can be implemented and supported by open source tools like the Spago4Q platform.
PIF or SNAP? That's the Question! Or maybe it's not? - A panelLuigi Buglione
The presentation introduced a panel organized at IWSM-MENSURA 2014 by MAIN (Metrics Associations' International Network - www.mai-net.org) about the value and way to deal with NFRs in a software project, using a series of PIF (Productivity Impact Factors) for calibrating your project effort or a specific sizing unit? That's the (discussed) question!
Software Sustainability: a Broader PerspectiveLuigi Buglione
In this presentation the approach to address software sustainability evaluation is discussed. We believe that software sustainability is a complex business to be addressed by including the largest set of indicators from software development, use, maintenance and disposal.
An ISO/IEC 33000-compliant Measurement Framework for Software Process Sustain...Luigi Buglione
ICT can provide a definitive contribution in reducing CO2 emissions and, in general, in the environment preservation. Because its pervasiveness in today’s life, software in particular plays an important role in achieving such a goal. Software process is the combination of those practices, directly or indirectly involved in software development, operation, and maintenance.
In previous papers the authors addressed the topic of evaluating the sustainability of software products. In this paper the focus is on the evaluation of the sustainability of the software process, i.e. the measurement of the extent the process is performed by having care of the environment and by minimizing its impact on the environment. To do that, a sustainability measurement framework for software process is defined. Such a framework is composed by Sustainability Levels, Sustainability Process Attributes and being compliant with the requirements stated in the new ISO/IEC 33000 series standard for software process assessment.
Measurement Process: Improving the ISO 15939 StandardLuigi Buglione
Over the past few years ISO has published a number of specific standards detailing processes included in a generic form in software development life cycle models. ISO 15939 on the Measurement process itself is an example of such specific ISO standard. This paper presents some suggestions for improvements to its Measurement Information Model and to the measurement plan within the planning process of ISO 15939.
This document discusses measuring and evaluating productivity for both functional and non-functional requirements (NFRs). It describes SNAP (Software Non-functional Assessment Process), a new NFR sizing method developed by IFPUG. SNAP divides NFRs into categories and sub-categories to assign size in SNAP Points. The document advocates measuring both functional size units (FSUs) and non-functional size units (NFSUs) to more accurately evaluate overall productivity. It provides an example of how to incorporate NFR-related tasks into work breakdown structures and schedules.
The LEGO Strategy: Guidelines for a Profitable DeploymentLuigi Buglione
When dealing with improvements, organizations seek to find a break-even point for their applications as early as possible in order to maximize the return from their investment. However, in some cases such a strategy can lead to a long term failure by not realizing the full benefits, when focusing only on a short term. The LEGO (Living EnGineering prOcess) approach – a method for building your own process meta-model based on multiple inputs – is a way to make an organization more efficient and effective, optimizing resources, as well as time and costs through looking at its entire Business Process Model. This paper introduces the elements for designing a strategy for a more valuable deployment of a process improvement initiative, in order to optimize the choice of the models and elements to be considered as an input to the LEGO approach
ICEBERG: a different look at Software Project ManagementLuigi Buglione
Every project – whatever the application field – should be managed taking into account at least four dimensions: Time, Cost, Quality and Risk. To manage these dimensions, a key tool for a Project Manager is to increase project visibility, defined as the amount of information about the project associated with its probability of occurrence. This paper uses the “iceberg” metaphor to introduce the ICEBERG (Improvement after Control and Evaluation-BasEd Rules and Guidelines) approach that can help Project Managers through the use of standard (de jure and de facto) ICT methods and techniques. This approach focuses not only on the management, and measurement, of resources, process and product, but also of the project and the organization itself. A list of candidate measures related to these 5 entities is suggested for a comprehensive software measurement plan in order to reduce project risk.
Improving Measurement Plans from multiple dimensions: Exercising with Balanci...Luigi Buglione
“Tracking & Control” activities in software projects are most often based, in industry, on just two dimensions of analysis: time and cost. Most often, ‘tracking & control’ excludes other dimensions (such as quality, risks & impact on society, stakeholders’ viewpoint in a broader sense) taken into account in Performance Management models such as EFQM or the Malcolm Baldridge model. How can balancing those multiple concurrent control mechanisms across several dimensions of analysis be done? Balancing Multiple Perspective (BMPs) is a procedure designed to help project managers choose a set of project indicators from several concurrent viewpoints. This paper also presents the related questionnaire with a list of 14 candidate measures helping to compare the “as-is” situation and to figure out what will be the desired one, including cost figures to be possibly considered in the budget for next projects.
Improving the User Story Agile Technique Using the INVEST CriteriaLuigi Buglione
Although the Agile Software Development (ADS) approach has been around for the last 15 years, it is only recently that attention has moved towards Agile Software Management (ASM) for tackling some of the management-related weaknesses, such as estimating on the basis of User Story points. This paper presents an application of the INVEST criteria (Independent – Negotiable – Valuable – Estimable – Small –Testable) for improving the measurement technique of User Stories, introducing sizing units and a technique to negotiate requirements. It includes a discussion on an approach to balancing the six criteria used to evaluate a set of User Stories in a Sprint.
During the past 20 years Maturity & Capability Models (MCMs) become a buzzword in the ICT world. Since the initial Crosby’s idea in 1979, plenty of models have been created in the Software & Systems Engineering domains, addressing various perspectives. By analyzing the content of the Process Reference Models (PRM) in many of them, it can be noticed that reuse-related issues have unfortunately often little importance in the appraisals of the capabilities of software organizations while in practice they are considered as significant contributors in traditional process and organizational performance appraisals. While MCMs represent a good mean for assessing the status of a set of processes, integrating two or more models with a common area of focus can offer more information and value for an organization. The aim of this paper is to present some information about Reuse best practices and models, keep the best components from each model and – using the LEGO (Living EnGineering prOcess) approach to process improvement - merge those best practices from several types of maturity models into an organizational Business Process Model (BPM) in order to achieve in an easier and faster way higher organizational maturity and capability levels.

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.
So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental DowntimeScyllaDB
The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage.
