  • Case Study Test the Untestable: Alaska Airlines Solves
    CASE STUDY Testing the Untestable Alaska Airlines Solves the Test Environment Dilemma Case Study Testing the Untestable Alaska Airlines Solves the Test Environment Dilemma OVERVIEW Alaska Airlines is primarily a West Coast carrier that services the states of Alaska and Hawaii with mid-continent and destinations in Canada and Mexico. Alaska Airlines received J.D. Powers' “Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among Traditional Carriers” recognition for twelve years in a row even recently winning first in all but one of the seven categories. A large part of the credit belongs to their software testing team. Their industry-leading, proactive approach to disrupting the traditional software testing process ensures that testers can test faster, earlier, and more completely. Learn how Ryan Papineau and his team used advanced automation in concert with service virtualization to rigorously test their complex flight operations manager software. The result: operations that run smoothly— even if they encounter a snowstorm in July.

  • Accelerate Software Innovation Through Continuous Quality
    Accelerate Software Innovation Through Continuous Quality 1 Software quality is recognized as the #1 issue IT executives are trying to mitigate. Enterprise organizations strive to accelerate the delivery of a compelling user experience to their customers in order to drive revenue. Software quality is recognized as the #1 issue IT executives are trying to mitigate. QA teams know they have issues and are actively looking for solutions to save time, increase quality, improve security, and more. The most notable difficulties are in identifying the right areas to test, the availability of flexible and reliable test environments and test data, and the realization of benefits from automation. You may be facing many challenges with delivering software to meet the high expectations for quality, cost, and schedule driven by the business. An effective software testing strategy can address these issues. If you’re looking to improve your software quality while achieving your business goals, Parasoft can help. With over 30 years of making testing easier for our customers, we have the innovation you need and the experience you trust. Our extensive continuous quality suite spans every testing need and enables you to reach new heights. 3 QUALITY-FIRST APPROACH You can’t test quality into an application at the end of the software development life cycle (SDLC). You need to ensure that your software development process and practices put a priority on quality- driven development and integrate a comprehensive testing strategy to verify that the application’s functionality meets the requirements. Shift testing left to the start of your development process to bring quality to the forefront.

  • Guidelines on Minimum Standards for Developer Verification of Software
    Guidelines on Minimum Standards for Developer Verification of Software Paul E. Black Barbara Guttman Vadim Okun Software and Systems Division Information Technology Laboratory July 2021 Abstract Executive Order (EO) 14028, Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, 12 May 2021, di- rects the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to recommend minimum standards for software testing within 60 days. This document describes eleven recommen- dations for software verification techniques as well as providing supplemental information about the techniques and references for further information. It recommends the following techniques: • Threat modeling to look for design-level security issues • Automated testing for consistency and to minimize human effort • Static code scanning to look for top bugs • Heuristic tools to look for possible hardcoded secrets • Use of built-in checks and protections • “Black box” test cases • Code-based structural test cases • Historical test cases • Fuzzing • Web app scanners, if applicable • Address included code (libraries, packages, services) The document does not address the totality of software verification, but instead recom- mends techniques that are broadly applicable and form the minimum standards. The document was developed by NIST in consultation with the National Security Agency. Additionally, we received input from numerous outside organizations through papers sub- mitted to a NIST workshop on the Executive Order held in early June, 2021 and discussion at the workshop as well as follow up with several of the submitters. Keywords software assurance; verification; testing; static analysis; fuzzing; code review; software security. Disclaimer Any mention of commercial products or reference to commercial organizations is for infor- mation only; it does not imply recommendation or endorsement by NIST, nor is it intended to imply that the products mentioned are necessarily the best available for the purpose.
