Hey everyone,<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

so I have a question for all of you. Recently, I have started my first ever Meetup group and before that I already went to couple of developer meetups, but I was wondering what do usually expect on the Meetups you are attending (two standard talks + networking afterwards or just one longer presentation)? Also are there any testing Meetups you are attending\/enjoying?<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Fantastic question & I\u2019m looking forward to learning other answers coming below here also!<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Most recent I\u2019ve attended EuroStar, 3QA, Tricentis trialled user group & RoboCorp meetups but enjoy going to all! :cD Not quite the same, but I\u2019ve also helped run internally CoPs, CoEs where some expectations seem similar (at least to me).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

  • Knowledge sharing - as much as possible just incase participants are shy of, or fear networking. Can be more efficient ways to do things, testing techniques or tools etc.<\/li>\t
  • Puzzles & games & food - making the atmosphere relaxed & welcoming, getting strangers\/people to collaborate together, free prizes<\/li>\t
  • Booths - new companies and product offerings can be learnt about, plus perhaps more importantly\u2026\u00a0free gift pickups!<\/li>\t
  • Plenty of breaks - to ask questions, write more notes or discuss on knowledge sharings, perform networking, also with an suggestion box for future ideas from participants<\/li>\t
  • For company ones: some roadmap info, info of products or trials being done behind the scenes which aren\u2019t on the website & might make it into the final product<\/li>\t
  • For company ones: demos and where-best-to-use tips of the most recent software releases\/products\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

Hi Community,\u00a0I would like to know how the security testing is performed and Is there any tools which<\/p>

is used to scan the code and identify the\u00a0vulnerabilities in the code.<\/p>

As Alex mentioned, there are many tools for security testing. If we would be speaking about secure development, what usually comes to mind are two terms - SAST, andDAST. Each one of them is used in different cases and has it\u2019s ups and downs. In the best case scenario, we would love to use both\u00a0of them\u00a0since that would give us the most accurate view of the current threat landscape.<\/p>

  • SAST (Static Application Security Testing)<\/strong> is probably the most frequently used one. It scans the code to find security vulnerabilities earlier in the software development life cycle. Most of the companies are using it, some of the platforms even have the free version of a SAST tool already integrated. They are a lot of fancy plugins that can also be used to add the tool right into your IDE so you can for example scan the code after each save or commit.<\/li>\t
  • DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)<\/strong> is quite useful when you are looking for vulnerabilities and weaknesses in a running application (typically a web application). It does so by employing fault injection techniques (feeding malicious data) to uncover stuff such as SQL injections and cross-site scriptings. Compared to it\u2019s static counterpart it can also uncover some of the authentication and configurations issues (for example\u00a0some of the flaws might only be visible once user logs in).<\/li><\/ul>

    SAST is the example of white-box testing as you have to have the access to the source code. DAST on the other hand represents the black-box testing as it is trying to test the running application.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    There are some free and paid versions with each tool having it\u2019s ups and downs. I won\u2019t be naming the exact tools but if you look for the \u201cTOP10\u201d you should be able to find them easily.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    There are also IAST, RASP and much more, but we can stick to these two for the majority of businesses. :)<\/p>","url":"\/general-discussion-ask-get-answers-49\/security-testing-214?postid=1146#post1146","creationDate":"2023-08-17T14:52:34+0000","relativeCreationDate":"2 days ago"},"lastReply":{"id":1146,"author":{"id":770,"url":"\/members\/hungoboss-770","name":"hungoboss","avatar":"https:\/\/uploads-us-west-2.insided.com\/tricentis-en\/icon\/200x200\/b594e91c-a236-472f-af5b-1b68da4691e0.png","userTitle":"Transonic 0.8","rank":{"isBold":false,"isItalic":false,"isUnderline":false,"name":"Transonic 0.8"},"userLevel":2},"content":"

I saw in one reply that James Bach recommends looking into:\u00a0<\/p>

  • Epistemology<\/li>\t
  • Philosophy\/History of Science<\/li>\t
  • Sociology\/Psychology<\/li>\t
  • Cognitive Science<\/li>\t
  • Rhetoric\/Critical Analysis<\/li>\t
  • Certain branches of mathematics: statistics, set theory, discrete mathematics, combinatorics.<\/li><\/ul>

    Any suggestions regarding any of the above mentioned topics ?\u00a0<\/p>

Hello Community!<\/p>

I\u2019m Paul, Head of Incubation under the Office of Strategy here at Tricentis. We have been working on an initiative called \u201cQuality Engineering Perspectives<\/a>\u201d, a collection of topic\u00a0articles and eventually subject-matter curated sections that provide vendor-neutral opinionated perspectives (see where the name comes from?) on how to develop, support, and improve Quality Engineering culture in organizations.<\/p>

We would love for you to contribute, either content or even just feedback, about our endeavor here. The goal is to provide useful educational material scoped to\u00a0quality engineering for practitioners, managers, even executives. Since the appetite for detail is diverse across these audiences, each article summarizes and then digs a bit deeper on pros\/cons, but isn\u2019t to get too far into the technical nitty-gritty or hands-on how-to details.<\/p>

If you have even 15-30 minutes, we\u2019d be more than happy to discuss one-on-one with you how you might contribute to this work. Feel free to email Paul Bruce (p.bruce@tricentis.com<\/a>) or connect on LinkedIn<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>","url":"\/general-discussion-ask-get-answers-49\/call-for-authors-quality-engineering-perspectives-374?postid=822#post822","creationDate":"2023-07-25T20:12:16+0000","relativeCreationDate":"25 days ago"},"isTopicUnread":true,"privateId":69,"id":374,"type":"post","hasCurrentUserLiked":false,"isSticky":false,"features":[],"forum":{"id":49,"isIdeation":false,"url":"\/general-discussion-ask-get-answers-49","title":"General Discussion: ask & get answers","description":"Get inspired, help others and gain all the knowledge you need"},"url":"\/general-discussion-ask-get-answers-49\/call-for-authors-quality-engineering-perspectives-374","title":"Call-for-Authors: Quality Engineering Perspectives","lastPost":{"id":822,"author":{"id":527,"url":"\/members\/paulsbruce-527","name":"paulsbruce","avatar":"https:\/\/uploads-us-west-2.insided.com\/tricentis-en\/icon\/200x200\/9ed97185-33ea-44c4-bd6f-4cbda53cdc27.png","userTitle":"Transonic 0.8","rank":{"isBold":false,"isItalic":false,"isUnderline":false,"name":"Transonic 0.8"},"userLevel":1},"content":"

We have been working on an initiative called \u201cQuality Engineering Perspectives<\/a>\u201d, a collection of topic\u00a0articles and eventually subject-matter curated sections that provide vendor-neutral opinionated perspectives (see where the name comes from?) on how to develop, support, and improve Quality Engineering culture in organizations.<\/p>

We would love for you to contribute, either content or even just feedback, about our endeavor here. The goal is to provide useful educational material scoped to\u00a0quality engineering for practitioners, managers, even executives. Since the appetite for detail is diverse across these audiences, each article summarizes and then digs a bit deeper on pros\/cons, but isn\u2019t to get too far into the technical nitty-gritty or hands-on how-to details.<\/p>

If you have even 15-30 minutes, we\u2019d be more than happy to discuss one-on-one with you how you might contribute to this work.

Hey ShiftSync Community!<\/p>

I hope you're all having a great day. I recently came across a fantastic video on YouTube that discusses software testing and the importance of bug reports. Here's the link to the video: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cgkhx7NqXCE&ab_channel=ResterTest<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

After watching it, I realized that writing an effective bug report is crucial for improving software quality and ensuring smooth user experiences. I believe it's a valuable skill for all of us in the tech community, and I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice on the matter.<\/p>

If you have experience with writing bug reports or if you've encountered bugs and reported them before, I would greatly appreciate any tips you could share. Here are a few questions to get the conversation started:<\/p>

  1. What are the essential components of a good bug report?<\/li>\t
  2. How do you effectively reproduce and describe a bug in your report?<\/li>\t
  3. What additional information should be included, such as system details or error messages?<\/li>\t
  4. Are there any best practices or common pitfalls to avoid when writing bug reports?<\/li>\t
  5. How do you strike a balance between providing enough information and keeping the report concise?<\/li><\/ol>

    Feel free to share your personal experiences, tips, and any resources you've found helpful in mastering the art of writing bug reports. Let's use this opportunity to learn from each other and enhance our collective knowledge.<\/p>

    I'm excited to hear your insights and engage in a fruitful discussion. Thank you in advance for your input!<\/p>

    Looking forward to your responses.<\/p>","url":"\/general-discussion-ask-get-answers-49\/how-to-write-an-effective-bug-report-229?postid=520#post520","creationDate":"2023-06-21T11:15:36+0000","relativeCreationDate":"1 month ago"},"isTopicUnread":true,"privateId":60,"id":229,"type":"post","hasCurrentUserLiked":false,"isSticky":false,"features":[],"forum":{"id":49,"isIdeation":false,"url":"\/general-discussion-ask-get-answers-49","title":"General Discussion: ask & get answers","description":"Get inspired, help others and gain all the knowledge you need"},"url":"\/general-discussion-ask-get-answers-49\/how-to-write-an-effective-bug-report-229","title":"How to Write an Effective Bug Report?","lastPost":{"id":601,"author":{"id":571,"url":"\/members\/mmario-ffrohlich-571","name":"mmario.ffrohlich","avatar":"https:\/\/uploads-us-west-2.insided.com\/tricentis-en\/icon\/200x200\/baa1eb7b-2127-490c-8e4b-5e1eff5f0476.png","userTitle":"Transonic 0.8","rank":{"isBold":false,"isItalic":false,"isUnderline":false,"name":"Transonic 0.8"},"userLevel":3},"content":"

You can buffer URL same way which is explained for Title.
If you notice properties of any module which eventually represent a page, by default these properties gets captured at module level.\u00a0
In terms of UseCase it\u2019s not very frequent that you need to buffer Title and URL. Mostly teams know which application\u00a0(URL) they are automating and they prefer to pass value through Configuration parameters.
