Testing As A Service

Clouding computing and virtualization technology have brought immense effects to software organizations including software testing region. At the same time the method and related technology will be changed a lot. Some concepts, structures and characters are described in this paper. Software testing should be regarded as a service. Four typical patterns of cloud testing and the relations among them are showed in the paper. Combined with the virtualization technology, the frame of TaaS (Testing as a Service) is defined too. In the meantime, cloud testing and traditional software testing is compared with each other. At last, the main research contents about software testing in virtualization environment are summarized.

Testing As A Service

This chapter describes a qualitative study whose aim was to explore and understand the conditions that influence software testing as a service. Interviews were conducted with software professionals from 16 organizations. The study used qualitative grounded theory as its research method. The level of domain knowledge required by testers was an initial indication of whether testing could be delivered as a service. The benefits of software testing as a service included flexibility and cost effectiveness. Among top requirements were security and pricing. Cloud computing was envisaged as the delivery model for software testing as a service. Some potential research areas suggested were pricing models and handling of test data. There was an indication that the demand for software testing as a service was on the rise, albeit with mixed feelings. Organizations would have to make careful considerations before embarking on testing their systems and applications over the internet.

Each year, corporations have been donating millions of dollars for non-profit organizations in order to fulfil their duty towards society, and companies are engaging in many approaches in order to strengthen their relationship with consumers. One of these is corporate social responsibility (CSR). The purpose of this chapter is to consolidate an understanding of real-world business practices with an academic research perspective and to inform the reader on the developments in CSR practices in the digital environment. With this purpose, a descriptive research is adopted that will include a content analysis of the companies that will be selected from the list of Fortune 500 in Turkey, and the data from the web pages of the top 100 companies will be analysed. The results indicate that large Turkish companies are lagging behind global companies with regards to digitalisation of CSR practices and institutionalisation of their CSR practices when compared to the corporations in developed countries.

Although the termstudent-athletedoes not appear in any standard English dictionary, it is routinely used in the United States in reference to athletes who participate in secondary and post-secondary school sport programs. Popular usage of the termstudent-athletesuggests widespread agreement in the culture and among academics that it is a term with either a favorable meaning or, at the very least, a benign or neutral one. In recent years, however, scholars who have explored the evolution and etymology of the term report that its introduction into the language of sport in the United States was an NCAA tactic in the 1950s to counter negative publicity and political pressure created by its newly instituted athletic scholarship policy. The focus of this research perspective is on the history of the termstudent-athlete,the propaganda mechanism used to encourage and perpetuate acceptance of the term in the United States, and the reasons why scholars might wish to avoid its use when writing about college and high school sport.

Following is the invited perspective of an academic researcher and director of a multi-institutional research and education project tasked to test the feasibility of adopting light-emitting diode (LED) technology for application by the commercial horticulture industry. Academics researching basic specialty-crop responses to spectra, intensities, and durations of lighting with LEDs often find technical queries from growers, vendors, and entrepreneurs to go beyond the capabilities and scope of systematic research to answer definitively. Differences between commercial and academic research approaches to LED technology development are noted, including legal obstacles to open collaboration. Early generation commercial LED technology for horticultural applications is based on research begun >20 years ago. The basis for selection of various LED wavebands for inclusion in LED plant growth arrays is presented for both commercial as well as research applications. Advantages of light distribution from LED sources for different crop applications are presented, especially including close-canopy and intracanopy lighting, both of which contribute substantially to energy savings. Challenges to providing accurate LED light prescriptions for different crops are discussed, including those for supplemental lighting as well as for sole-source lighting applications. Anticipated trends are projected for horticultural applications of LED technology, including multispectral, individually adjustable, high-intensity arrays; increasing electrical efficacy of future LEDs; and reduced costs of mass production for particular applications.

PurposeThis paper provides a contextualised review of research in the area of humanitarian and emergency relief logistics, providing insights with particular emphasis on lessons learned. The paper tracks the evolution of research against the development of partner networks and key global events; information was collated and assimilated from cross-cutting themes such as disaster preparedness, emergency response structures and the transferability of commercial-world concepts and principles (such as sustainability) into volatile and fragile environments. It concludes by suggesting possible future challenges which could steer humanitarian response on the ground and will influence the path of academic research going forward.Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides a general review of work undertaken in the area of Humanitarian Logistics. Use is made of vignettes of case studies in order to provide focus to the discussion and to highlight key issues that emerged from the research reviewed.FindingsThe findings show that there are several new areas of research which will need to be addressed in the humanitarian logistics arena. The discussion demonstrates that research into crisis response is arguably even more important today than it has been previously. Research therefore likely needs to be expanded considerably over the next decade and beyond.Originality/valueThis paper contextualises and synthesises past research into humanitarian logistics responses, highlights key themes and suggests areas for further research.
