Artificial Intelligence: A Force for Good

-
  Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing technology with the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives. While there are some concerns about the potential negative impacts of AI, there are also many ways that it can be used for good. Here are some examples of how AI is being used for good: Healthcare: AI is being used to develop new drugs and treatments, improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and provide personalized healthcare. For example, AI-powered systems are being used to analyze medical images and data to detect cancer and other diseases earlier and more accurately than ever before. Education: AI is being used to personalize learning, provide real-time feedback, and help students learn at their own pace. For example, AI-powered tutors can provide personalized feedback to students on their homework and help them identify areas where they need additional help. Environment: AI is being used to monitor and protect the environment. For exampl

User Acceptance Testing

What is User Acceptance Testing?

            User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the final stage in the software development life cycle. At this stage, users will test the software to see if they can carry out tasks that the software was designed to do and check for any issues that can be brought to the developer for tweaking.

A well designed UAT test provides a thorough vetting of the application. Also, a UAT test provides a macro-level overview of how complete an application is.

How are they administered?

               Several steps need to be considered before performing a UAT test. Following these phases is essential to a successful test result which are:

1. Knowledge Gathering for Test Plan

               A UAT test planning should always be done first as gathering information required to perform a comprehensive test. It requires extensive collaboration between the integration manager, the relevant business process owners, and the different functional leads. The information that is needed is:

    • The list of business processes that should be tested
    • Guidelines for which data to use
    • Intended test results
    • The UAT team responsible for testing
    • The sequence of actions or test steps that must be followed at a high level

2. UAT Scope

               Since not all business processes require testing, some can be safely ignored. Before performing the test, the scope of the UAT must be defined for the project. If the test range is not found, the test may balloon quickly, which means that the test can become challenging to decide what is critical for a successful experiment.

3. UAT Design

               Once the scope is understood for the UAT test, designing it and assigning different business steps to users and setting a timeline for testing will follow. Information gathered in the first step will be used to developing the test. This step will become much more comfortable as time goes on, and cases to reference is used.

4.UAT Execution

               With the UAT process clearly defined, now is the time to execute it and decide if it should move ahead to production. To successfully run a UAT test, one needs this step to be extremely efficient. Several elements need to emphasize are documentation and progress reporting and defect management, which requires flawless communication and balance between tests and developers.

5.Confirm Business Objectives

               Once the execution is over, and as many defects as possible have been rectified, it is time to assess the risk of going live and signing off on UAT. The sign of approval indicates that the change meets business requirements and is ready for deployment. 


        There is a lot that goes into testing of an application. Every program that lives on a computer is vetted to ensure that it works as intended. If the application is not operating correctly, this could indicate not enough testing took place, or there may have been an issue with its transfer on the computer. Either way, it is essential that UAT testing on all applications be done before it is released.

What Makes a Security Plan?

-
      Hello, and welcome back to my blog. This week, I would like to quickly discuss the levels that go into making a security plan. These types of plans are an important tool for IT departments and Cybersecurity Administrators to design a plan that will help protect or slow down an attack on the network.     Of course, security plans can vary from company to company; however, their purpose remains the same, with threats looming every day. With IT managers adjusting in response to the ever-changing threats, the created security plan must be designed to stop or slow down any attempt to breach network defenses. Below we will look at the principal components of a security plan and what they entail.    Separate Networks              As the name suggests, having more than one network can protect company assists from hackers and the like. The reason being is that having every computer on one network would lead to issues if that subsequent work were to fail, which would stop operati

Public vs. Private Clouds: A quick look at the Pros and Cons

-
Hello, and welcome back to my blog! This week we will be discussing the positive and negative sides of using public and private clouds.         For many small businesses, turning to the cloud would seem like a daunting and challenging task. Just thinking about the many different types of Cloud services and various companies that offer them would take time to sort out what you want and how to make the change.       I will cover the pros and cons of using public and private clouds in the hopes that you will come away with a little bit more knowledge on the matter than when you arrived. Of course, if you would like to know more about the different types of cloud services outside of these two, I am about to discuss, here is a link to one of my earlier postings here,  Link      So, let us go and dive into what these two types of cloud services are. If you have heard of companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, you may also know that they offer paid or free cloud services. Other vendors

The Differences between Hubs, Bridges, and Switches, and which one I would recommend using in your home or office

-
         There are many challenges that a network engineer will face when creating a network for a business. Even a homeowner may wish to design their network layout in the hopes that it will connect every room in their home. But what happens when you have multiple devices on a network and more than one device in a room? This can pose a problem if the tools available are not entirely understood by the one that is designing or implementing the network. This week, I will go into what a hub, a bridge, and a switch and their differences to help those looking for the differences and assist them in making the best choice for their home and business. What is a Hub?   Hubs provide a dedicated physical connection for each device that is connected to it. This can help reduce the possibility of one computer were to fail; it would not affect the other computers connected lose connectivity. The downside of a hub is that it shares bandwidth with other attached devices, limiting it to half-dupl
