Book SynopsisThis book is about the design and development of tools for software testing. It intends to get the reader involved in software testing rather than simply memorizing the concepts. The source codes are downloadable from the book website. The book has three parts: software testability, fault localization, and test data generation. Part I describes unit and acceptance tests and proposes a new method called testability-driven development (TsDD) in support of TDD and BDD. TsDD uses a machine learning model to measure testability before and after refactoring. The reader will learn how to develop the testability prediction model and write software tools for automatic refactoring. Part II focuses on developing tools for automatic fault localization. This part shows the reader how to use a compiler generator to instrument source code, create control flow graphs, identify prime paths, and slice the source code. On top of these tools, a software tool, Diagnoser, is offered to facilitate experimenting with and developing new fault localization algorithms. Diagnoser takes a source code and its test suite as input and reports the coverage provided by the test cases and the suspiciousness score for each statement. Part III proposes using software testing as a prominent part of the cyber-physical system software to uncover and model unknown physical behaviors and the underlying physical rules. The reader will get insights into developing software tools to generate white box test data. Table of ContentsSoftware Testability.- Unit testing and Test-Driven Development.- Acceptance Testing and Behavior Driven Development.

Book SynopsisData science is a new field that touches on almost every domain of our lives, and thus it is taught in a variety of environments. Accordingly, the book is suitable for teachers and lecturers in all educational frameworks: K-12, academia and industry. This book aims at closing a significant gap in the literature on thepedagogyof data science. While there are many articles and white papers dealing with the curriculum of data science (i.e., what to teach?), the pedagogical aspect of the field (i.e., how to teach?) is almost neglected. At the same time, the importance of the pedagogical aspects of data science increases as more and more programs are currently open to a variety of people. This book provides a variety of pedagogical discussions and specific teaching methods and frameworks, as well as includes exercises, and guidelines related to many data science concepts (e.g., data thinking and the data science workflow), main machine learning algorithms and concepts (e.g., KNN, SVM, Neural Networks, performance metrics, confusion matrix, and biases) and data science professional topics (e.g., ethics, skills and research approach). ProfessorOrit Hazzanis a faculty member at the Technion's Department of Education in Science and Technology since October 2000. Her research focuses on computer science, software engineering and data science education. Within this framework, she studies the cognitive and social processes on the individual, the team and the organization levels, in all kinds of organizations. Dr.Koby Mikeis a Ph.D. graduate from the Technion's Department of Education in Science and Technology under the supervision of Professor Orit Hazzan. He continued his post-doc research on data science education at the Bar-Ilan University, and obtained a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Tel Aviv University.

Most of the contributions are about applications of machine learning to accomplish several cybersecurity tasks, such as malware, network intrusion, and spam email detection. Similar trends of increasing AI applications are consistent with the current research and market trends in cybersecurity and other fields. We divided this book into two parts; the first is focused on malicious activity detection using AI, whereas the second groups AI applications to tackle a selection of cybersecurity problems.This book is suitable for cybersecurity researchers, practitioners, enthusiasts, as well as fresh graduates. It is also suitable for artificial intelligence researchers interested in exploring applications in cybersecurity. Prior exposure to basic machine learning concepts is preferable, but not necessary.

Book SynopsisThis book collects together selected peer-reviewed contributions presented at the European Conference on Data Analysis, ECDA 2022, held in Naples, Italy, September 14-16, 2022. Highlighting the role of statistics in discovering novel and interesting patterns in the era of big data, it follows the motto of the conference: “Avoiding drowning in the data: recent trends and future challenges in learning from data”. The central focus is on multidisciplinary approaches to data analysis, classification, and the interface between computer science, data mining and statistics. Both methodological and applied topics are covered. The former includes supervised and unsupervised techniques with particular emphasis on advances in regression and clustering analysis and constructing composite indicators. The applications are mainly in risk analysis, biology, and education. The volume is organized into four main macro themes: methodological contributions in the social sciences and education, multivariate analysis methods for big data, innovative contributions for applications inspired by biology, and strategies for analyzing complex data in finance.Table of ContentsPreface.- Building hierarchies of factors with disjoint factor analysis.- Uncertainty in Latent Trait Models and dimensionality reduction methods for complex data: an analysis of taxpayer perception on the Fiscal System.- The predictivity of access tests for university success.- Asynchronous and synchronous-asynchronous particle swarms.- The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on modelling volatility and risk analysis of returns in selected European financial markets.- Asymmetric binary regression models for imbalanced datasets: an application to students’ churn.- Computational models supporting decision-making in managing publication activity at Polish universities.- Stability of nonparametric methods for cognitive diagnostic assessment.- SMARTS: SeMi-supervised clustering for Assessment of Reviews using Topic and Sentiment.- The equitable and sustainable wellbeing through the pandemic.
