Book SynopsisThis book is written by testers for testers. In ten chapters, the authors provide answers to key questions in agile projects. They deal with cultural change processes for agile testing, with questions regarding the approach and organization of software testing, with the use of methods, techniques and tools, especially test automation, and with the redefined role of the tester in agile projects. The first chapter describes the cultural change brought about by agile development. In the second chapter, which addresses agile process models such as Scrum and Kanban, the authors focus on the role of quality assurance in agile development projects. The third chapter deals with the agile test organization and the positioning of testing in an agile team. Chapter 4 discusses the question of whether an agile tester should be a generalist or a specialist. In Chapter 5, the authors turn to the methods and techniques of agile testing, emphasizing the differences from traditional, phase-oriented testing. In Chapter 6, they describe which documents testers still need to create in an agile project. Next, Chapter 7 explains the efficient use of test automation, which is particularly important in agile development, as it is the main instrument for project acceleration and is necessary to support state-of-the-art DevOps approaches and Continuous Integration. Chapter 8 then adds examples from test tool practice extending test automation to include test management functionality. Chapter 9 is dedicated to training and its importance, emphasizing the role of employee training in getting started with agile development. Finally, Chapter 10 summarizes the results of the agile journey in general with a special focus on testing. To make the aspects described even more tangible, the specific topics of this book are accompanied by the description of experiences from concrete software development projects of various organizations. The examples demonstrate that different approaches can lead to solutions that meet the specific challenges of agile projects.Table of Contents1. Agile: A Cultural Change.- 2.

Book SynopsisVulnerability management is a critical and sometimes neglected aspect of information security. It consists of two main parts: awareness and action. First, the security practitioner must be aware of the vulnerabilities that exist in an organisation's systems and understand how dangerous each one is. Second, that information must feed into an ongoing process of addressing vulnerabilities by updating the vulnerable systems or otherwise mitigating their severity.Trade Review"An easy read and offers comprehensive solutions to keeping an organization secure and always prepared for possible attacks." —Helga Labus, Help Net SecurityTable of ContentsIntroductionPart I: Vulnerability Management BasicsChapter 1: Basic ConceptsChapter 2: Sources of InformationChapter 3: Vulnerability ScannersChapter 4: Automating Vulnerability ManagementChapter 5: Vulnerability Management OutcomesChapter 6: Vulnerability Management and Organizational PrioritiesPart II: Hands-on Vulnerability ManagementChapter 7: Setting Up Your EnvironmentChapter 8: Using the Data Collection ToolsChapter 9: Getting Your Data into Usable FormatChapter 10: Maintaining the DatabaseChapter 11: Generating Asset and Vulnerability ReportsChapter 12: Automating Scans and ReportingChapter 13: Advanced ReportingChapter 14: Advanced TopicsChapter 15.

Book SynopsisSince the publication of the FORTRAN 77 standard in 1978 the Fortran language has undergone a large number of revisions [61].1 The changes that were introduced reflect both new insights in programming techniques and new developments in computer hardware. From the very start the language has been designed with computing efficiency in mind. The latest standard as of this writing, Fortran 2008, puts even more emphasis on this aspect by introducing explicit support for parallel processing [71]. This first chapter gives an overview of the various standards that have appeared after FORTRAN 77. There is no attempt to be complete or even to describe all major features - that would mean a whole book or even a series of books. Consult Metcalf et al. [63], [65]or Brainerd et al. [36] for a detailed Officially, Fortran 77 should be written as FORTRAN 77. Since the Fortran 90 standard the name is written in lowercase. description of the standards. 1.1 The flavour of modern Fortran The Fortran 90 standard introduced some very significant changes with respect to the widespread FORTRAN 77 standard: free form source code, array operations, modules and derived types to name but a few. To give an impression of what this means for the programmer, consider this simple problem: We have a file with numbers, one per line (to keep it simple) and we want to determine the distribution of these numbers, that is, produce a simple histogram. In FORTRAN 77 a program that does this might look like: * Produce a simple histogram * PROGRAM HIST INTEGER MAXDATA PARAMETER (MAXDATA = 1000) INTEGER NOBND PARAMETER (NOBND = 9) REAL BOUND(NOBND) REAL DATA(MAXDATA) INTEGER I, NODATA--Trade Review'A language cannot survive without a means to learn about it. This implies the availability not only of textbooks on the language's syntax and semantics but also of books on how to use the language in real-life situations. Somehow, experience in the use and application of a language needs to be passed on to a new generation of programmers and new features require advice on how they are best to be used. Here, at a time when only rarely is a single language used in isolation, but more often in conjunction with other languages or with various tools, Modern Fortran in Practice fulfils a real need for practical advice in the field. I recommend it to all Fortran practitioners.' Michael Metcalf, from the Foreword'Scientists, mathematicians, and engineers will find that Modern Fortran in Practice speaks their language. Arjen Markus introduces modern Fortran features using real-world examples and practical advice. If your knowledge of Fortran stops at FORTRAN-77 or even Fortran 90, Markus's book will open your eyes to what today's Fortran can do for you.' Steve Lionel, Senior Member Technical Staff, Intel Corporation'Modern Fortran in Practice shows by practical examples how reliable and maintainable programs can be written. Starting with examples in Fortran 95, Fortran 2003/2008 features are then introduced and used to improve the code, thus showing different approaches but also providing a solution for older compilers. The author covers the whole development - from algorithm choice and error handling to graphical interfaces, parallelization, and unit testing. The book is an ideal complement to books that focus on the syntax of Fortran.' Tobias Burnus, Institute for Advanced Simulation, Research Centre Jülich'This book is a very welcome complement to the existing literature on modern Fortran. While most Fortran books serve as comprehensive language references, this book stands out for its extensive demonstrations of practical applications of the language. Especially interesting are the many demonstrations of the newest programming paradigms Fortran supports, including object-oriented programming, functional programming, and parallel programming.'

Book SynopsisThe last decade has witnessed various technological advances in life sciences, especially high throughput technologies. These technologies provide a way to perform parallel scientific studies in a very short period of time with low cost. High throughput techniques, mainly, next generation sequencing, microarray and mass spectrometry, have strengthened the omics vision in the last decades (study of complete system) and now resulted in well-developed branches of omics i.e., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, which deal with almost every level of central dogma of life. Practice of high throughput techniques throughout the world with different aims and objectives resulted in a voluminous data, which required computational applications, i.e., database, algorithm and software to store, process and get biological interpretation from primary raw data. Researchers from different fields are looking to analyze these raw data for different purposes, but lacking of proper information and knowledge in proper documented form creates different kinds of hurdles and raises the challenges. This book contains thirteen chapters that deal with different computational biology/bioinformatics resources and concepts which are already in practice by the scientific community or can be utilized to handle various aspects of different classes of omics data. It includes different computational concepts, algorithm, resources and recent trends belonging to the four major branches of omics (i.e., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics), including integrative omics. It will help all scholars who are working in any branch of computational omics and bioinformatics field as well as those who would like to perform research at a systemic biology through computational approaches.Table of ContentsFor more information, please visit our website at:https://novapublishers.com/shop/recent-trends-in-computational-omics-concepts-and-methodology/
