Automated Software Testing with Cypress

Unit Integration Testing (UIT) had been a challenge because there was no tool that could help in XHR programming and unit integration validations in an efficient way until Cypress arrived. Cypress started releasing versions in 2015 and became popular in 2018 with version 2. 0. 0. This book explores Cypress scripts that help implement ‘shift left testing’ which is a dream come true for many software testers. Shift left occurs in the majority of testing projects but could not be implemented fully because tools were unavailable and knowledge was lacking about the possibilities of testing early in the life cycle. Shift left is a key testing strategy to help testing teams focus less on defect identifications and more on developing practices to prevent defects. Cypress scripts can help front-end developers and quality engineers to work together to find defects soon after web components are built. These components can be tested immediately after they are built with Cypress Test Driven Development (TDD) scripts. Thus defects can be fixed straight away during the development stage. Testing teams do not have to worry about finding these same defects in a later development stage because Cypress tests keep verifying components in the later stages. Defect fixing has become much cheaper with Cypress than when other tools are used. The book also covers Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)-based Gherkin scripts and the Cypress Cucumber preprocessor which can improve test scenario coverage. Automated Software Testing with Cypress is written to fulfil the BDD and TDD needs of testing teams. Two distinct open source repositories are provided in Github to help start running Cypress tests in no time!

C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework

Using the implementation of a deep learning framework as an example C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice: A Deep Learning Framework explains the application of metaprogramming in a relatively large project and emphasizes ways to optimize systems performance. The book is suitable for developers with a basic knowledge of C++. Developers familiar with mainstream deep learning frameworks can also refer to this book to compare the differences between the deep learning framework implemented with metaprogramming and compile-time computing with deep learning frameworks using object-oriented methods. Consisting of eight chapters the book starts with two chapters discussing basic techniques of metaprogramming and compile-time computing. The rest of the book’s chapters focus on the practical application of metaprogramming in a deep learning framework. It examines rich types and systems expression templates and writing complex meta-functions as well as such topics as: Heterogeneous dictionaries and policy templates An introduction to deep learning Type system and basic data types Operations and expression templates Basic layers Composite and recurrent layers Evaluation and its optimization Metaprogramming can construct flexible and efficient code. For C++ developers who are familiar with object-oriented programming the main difficulty in learning and mastering C++ metaprogramming is establishing the thinking mode of functional programming. The meta-programming approach involved at compile time is functional which means that the intermediate results of the construction cannot be changed and the impact may be greater than expected. This book enables C++ programmers to develop a functional mindset and metaprogramming skills. The book also discusses the development cost and use cost of metaprogramming and provides workarounds for minimizing these costs. | C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework

Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises A European Perspective

The growing importance of projects in organizations combined with difficulties in their implementation is accompanied by the need for professional knowledge in the field of project management. It results from the complexity of project management problems and the difficulty of knowledge that must be applied. However surprisingly little is known about this topic especially in the context of European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: A European Perspective attempts to fill this specific research gap. The book analyses the process of managing projects being implemented by small and medium-sized firms from Europe identifies organizational processes and verifies which elements of these processes require improvement. It concentrates on issues around the multifaceted characteristics of project management with particular emphasis on the process of managing European small and medium enterprises. The book is the result of many years of empirical research and consists of two main parts: A systematization of concepts terminology and thus knowledge in the field of project management with particular emphasis on the phases of planning organizing as well as leading and controlling in the project as well as small and medium-sized enterprises with particular emphasis on their specificity and role in the modern European economy.

TCP Performance over UMTS-HSDPA Systems

The evolution of the mobile communication market is causing a major increase in data traffic demands. This could lead to disrupted mobility and intermittent degraded channel conditions that contribute to poor transmission control protocol (TCP) performance. TCP Performance over UMTS-HSDPA Systems presents a comprehensive study of the effect of TCP on achieved application bit rate performance and system capacity and shows how to reduce the interaction of wireless networks on TCP with minimal cost. With self-contained chapters the book consists of two main sections. The first several chapters provide background and describe the state of the art for wireless networks emphasizing one of the third-generation (3G) wireless technologies: the universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS). These chapters also include an analysis of the overall cell capacity for UMTS Release 99 and high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) systems. The second section focuses on the interaction of TCP with wireless systems presenting an exhaustive list of TCP versions and link layer solutions that adapt TCP (often modifying the original TCP) to a wireless network. This section also displays mathematical modeling of the interaction of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) and TCP in UMTS networks. While offering information for advanced undergraduate students who are unfamiliar with code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless systems as well as UMTS and HSDPA cellular systems the book also provides extensive coverage of TCP over wireless systems problems and solutions for researchers developers and graduate students.

Practical AI for Cybersecurity

The world of cybersecurity and the landscape that it possesses is changing on a dynamic basis. It seems like that hardly one threat vector is launched new variants of it are already on the way. IT Security teams in businesses and corporations are struggling daily to fight off any cyberthreats that they are experiencing. On top of this they are also asked by their CIO or CISO to model what future Cyberattacks could potentially look like and ways as to how the lines of defenses can be further enhanced. IT Security teams are overburdened and are struggling to find ways in order to keep up with what they are being asked to do. Trying to model the cyberthreat landscape is a very laborious process because it takes a lot of time to analyze datasets from many intelligence feeds. What can be done to accomplish this Herculean task? The answer lies in Artificial Intelligence (AI). With AI an IT Security team can model what the future Cyberthreat landscape could potentially look like in just a matter of minutes. As a result this gives valuable time for them not only to fight off the threats that they are facing but to also come up with solutions for the variants that will come out later. Practical AI for Cybersecurity explores the ways and methods as to how AI can be used in cybersecurity with an emphasis upon its subcomponents of machine learning computer vision and neural networks. The book shows how AI can be used to help automate the routine and ordinary tasks that are encountered by both penetration testing and threat hunting teams. The result is that security professionals can spend more time finding and discovering unknown vulnerabilities and weaknesses that their systems are facing as well as be able to come up with solid recommendations as to how the systems can be patched up quickly.
