CSIAC Webinars - Automated Test and Re-Test (ATRT) and DOD – Challenges and Solutions

Duration: 58:03 | Recorded: 2013-02-12 | Series: CSIAC Webinars

This presentation discusses automated software testing challenges and solutions based on experiences with DOD systems. The presentation will discuss how a DOD SBIR funded automated testing solution called Automated Test and Re-Test (ATRT) attempts to address these challenges along with the unresolved challenges and what the ideal automated software testing solution could look like in the near future. For example, often automated testing tools become shelf-ware when the maintenance of the automated tests is too involved. Automated testers look for the “update my automated tests” button, so their tests could automatically be updated when needed with little maintenance is required. This presentation also discusses how to create maintainable automated software test cases and how to overcome some of the “other” DOD automated testing challenges. This implementation will be applicable to other government agencies,

Learning Objectives:

– Automated Testing Requirements and Solutions
– How to select the right tool for the job
– How to create maintainable automated test cases
– Why image based automated testing
– Model based automated test structure and creation
– Remaining automated testing challenges and proposed solutions

A follow-up to this webinar is available here.

Elfriede is a technical director at IDT ( www.idtus.com ) and have been working at IDT since 2006. IDT is a leader in providing automated software testing solutions, called Automated Test and Re-Test (ATRT), to DOD and its contractors. Software development is still an art and that makes automated software testing a special challenge. At IDT (www.idtus.com) we strive to meet that challenge by producing an extensible automated testing framework. For any questions related to automated software testing, ATRT, or the various books here, please contact Elfriede at edustin@idtus.com. Elfriede has a B.S. in Computer Science with over 20 years of IT experience, implementing effective testing strategies, both on Government and commercial programs. Elfriede has implemented automated testing methodologies and testing strategies as an Internal SQA Consultant at Symantec, worked as an Asst. Director for Integrated Testing at the IRS Modernization Efforts, implemented testing strategies and built test teams as a QA Director for BNA Software, and was the QA Manager for the Coast Guard MOISE program, just to name a few of the companies and testing/QA effortsElfriede has worked on in the past 20 years. Elfriede is the author and co-author of 6 books related to Software Testing, i.e. author of the book 'Effective Software Testing' and lead author of 'Automated Software Testing' and 'Quality Web Systems,' and co-authored the book 'The Art of Software Security Testing,' together with Chris Wysopal, Lucas Nelson, Dino D'ai Zovi, which was published by Symantec Press, Nov 2006. Elfriede's goal is to continue to help further automated software testing advances and contribute to solving the automated software testing challenge.

CSIAC Report - Smart Cities, Smart Bases and Secure Cloud Architecture for Resiliency by Design

Integration of Smart City Technologies to create Smart Bases for DoD will require due diligence with respect to the security of the data produced by Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). This will increase more so with the rollout of 5G and increased automation "at the edge". Commercially, data will be moving to the cloud first, and then stored for process improvement analysis by end-users. As such, implementation of Secure Cloud Architectures is a must. This report provides some use cases and a description of a risk based approach to cloud data security. Clear understanding, adaptation, and implementation of a secure cloud framework will provide the military the means to make progress in becoming a smart military.
