V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communications technology allows vehicles to directly communicate with each other, roadside infrastructure, and other road users to deliver an array of benefits in the form of road safety, traffic efficiency, smart mobility, environmental sustainability, and driver convenience.
In addition, V2X is also helping pave the way for fully autonomous driving through its unique non line-of-sight sensing capability which allows vehicles to detect potential hazards, traffic, and road conditions from longer distances and sooner than other in-vehicle sensors such as cameras, radar, and LiDAR. So who is involved in the V2X sandbox? The ecosystem includes cellular communications companies like Bell, Infrastructure technology companies like Siemens, Miovision and Electromega.

The 21st century has created an ever increasing and innovative society. Technology has made leaps and bounds, and will continue to do so moving forward. However, with technological inventions increasing, the opportunity for cyber threats also grows. Many organizations developing new tech remain unaware of the extent of damages that can be caused by a cyber attack. Some of these disruptions can easily be avoided by taking the time to have the right discussions around cyber security within an organization. By understanding what the attackers are after and how organizations are exposed, companies can begin to mitigate some of the risk they face from these threat actors.

Over the past several years, many organizations have transitioned to agile development in order to accelerate delivery and get more timely feedback from the market. In these organizations, while development begins to move faster, QA will struggle to keep pace unless they integrate automated software testing practices into the development pipeline. Accelerating software development and ensuring software quality with automated continuous testing is a great achievement, but it’s all for naught if the software isn’t what your customers want or need.
Folks at this stage in their software development processes evolution are taking a close look at BDD (Behavior-Driven-Development) Read More

Speaker: Johanna Castro
The performance of an app and website is tied to its ability to operate across various configurations. Each configuration acts like an individual layer the app must pass through before reaching the end user. The most important layers it must contend with are the operating system, the specific version of the operating system, smartphone model, and screen size. Each layer an app encounters can influence its performance and user experience.
Operating across a variety of configurations is essential for apps given the huge fragmentation of a diverse smartphone market in terms of models, operating systems, and more.
- Testing across multiple configurations
- Mobile testing to stay competitive
- The effects of Fragmentation
- Emulators/ Simulators / Real devices
- How to select the most relevant devices configurations
- Case : Iphone X and its impact on your digital products (Eg. Google map, Mc Donald's, Amazon, Spotify)

Speaker: Yury Makedonov
There are two main challenges to testing systems that incorporate elements of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The same input can trigger different responses while an AI system adapts to a new environment. It may also be challenging to understand what is the correct response.
Such behavior breaks one of the main principles of traditional testing – repeatability of execution of test cases. This is akin to shooting a moving target and not knowing whether you missed. Testers feel frustrated when their traditional approach can’t be used anymore and have no confidence in the outcome of their testing.
Yury Makedonov explains that to successfully test an AI system, you need to have direct access to the system’s state. Using an example of a simplified machine learning system with a few simple models of its internals Yury shows how to use the state of this system for effective testing and how to deal with test data, the most difficult part of AI
