Service Change

Background: Diabetes and eating disorders are frequently comorbid. This particular comorbidity is not only often poorly recognised, but is difficult to treat and has a high mortality. Method: In this article, we will briefly review the relationship between diabetes and eating disorders. We will review the current NICE and other guidance and reports concerning both diabetes and eating disorders in the United Kingdom. We will then describe the recommendations of the 2018 Welsh Government Eating Disorder Service Review and the 2021 the Scottish Government Eating Disorder Service Review regarding diabetes and eating disorders, which will lead to service change. Conclusions: We conclude that this is a relatively underdeveloped but important area where there needs to be further service development and more collaboration between diabetes and eating disorder services.

Understanding the equity effects of transit service changes requires good information about the demographics of transit ridership. Onboard survey data and census data can be used to estimate equity effects, although there is no clear reason to conclude that these two sources will lead to the same findings. Guidance from the FTA recommends the use of either of these data sources to estimate equity impacts. This study made a direct comparison of the two methods for the public transit system in the Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area. The results indicated that although both sources were acceptable for FTA compliance, the use of one or the other could affect whether a proposed service change was deemed equitable. In other words, the outcome of a service change equity analysis could differ as a result of the data source used. To ensure the integrity and meaning of such analyses, FTA should recommend the collection and use of ridership data for conducting service change analyses to supplement approaches that are based on census data.

Abstract Regression testing is required in each iteration of microservice systems. Regression testing selection, which reduces testing costs by selecting a subset from the original test cases, is one of the main techniques to optimize regression testing. Existing techniques mainly rely on the information retrieved from artifacts such as code files and system models. For microservice systems with service autonomy, development method diversity and a large amount of services, such artifacts are too difficultly obtained and costly processed to apply those approaches. This paper presents a regression testing selection approach called MRTS-BP, which needs the API gateway layer logs instead of code files and system models as inputs. By parsing the API gateway layer logs, our approach establishes the service dependency matrix, which in further is transformed into a directed graph with the services as nodes. Then, to find out which test cases are affected by service changes, an algorithm based on belief propagation is presented to compute the quantitative results of service-change propagation from the directed graph. Finally, the relationships between original test cases and service-change propagation results are established to select test cases with three strategies. To evaluate the efficiency of MRTS-BP, the empirical study based on four microservice systems is presented. A typical technique RTS-CFG is compared with MRTS-CFG and four experiments are setup to investigate four research questions. The results show that MRTS-BP can not only reduce the number of test cases by half compared with the retest-all strategy while ensuring the safety, but also save at least 20% testing time costs more than that of RTS-CFG. MRTS-BP is more practical than the techniques relying on the artifacts when the latter cannot be implemented due to the artifacts are difficult to obtain and process.
