The unprecedented use of computers in all areas of human activity makes the challenge of building errorless programs the central one of informatics.
The challenge is of utmost importance for developing built in program systems for managing critical applications where defects of programming can lead to catastrophic consequences. The cost of activities to ensure errorless behavior of built in software management systems amounts to more than a half of their development cost.
Modern day methods of software quality assurance include a variety of means, techniques, and approaches. Although testing and debugging stay the main method, verification, i.e. the formal proof of meeting a set of formal requirements by a formal program system model, has been gaining wider use recently. The method of Model checking has become a breakthrough trend in the area of formal verification.
The method of Model checking can be used for software and hardware systems that represent a model of transformations with a finite number of states. Therefore, the main problem of this method is the state explosion problem, i.e. the exponential growth of the number of states of a parallel programs system as the number of interacting components grows. The development of symbol algorithms based on economical methods of representing the final data structures has lead to a reduction of this methods sensitivity to the state explosion problem and a significant increase in the efficiency of this method of verification. The symbol methods of verification have been successfully used in many practical development projects of building real program systems. Currently this technique is used as a technological phase in many large firms who develop built in systems for critical applications.
Model checking stays a hot area of informatics, as intensive research continues to be underway and as the means of this approach are being broadened.
A group of leading scientists in the area of applying formal software development methods has launched an ambitions international research project named Verified Software Initiative. The goal of the project is to bring the theoretical foundation, the instruments, and the elements of the verification technology to a state where they will allow developing errorless software systems.
Foundations of Software Testing Lecture 4Iosif Itkin

This lecture is a part of the online course on Software Testing for Complex Intelligent Systems and Autonomous Vehicles. The course lectures provide the theoretical basics of testing autonomous systems based on artificial intelligence.
The fourth lecture of the course entitled Foundations of Software Testing reviews the absence-of-errors fallacy and other principles of software testing, as well as the types and levels of software testing. The lecture also provides a fuller picture of the understanding of test objectives and methodologies by different schools of thought within the software testing domain.

The document discusses test oracles, which are mechanisms for determining whether a test has passed or failed. It describes how oracles work by comparing the actual output of a system under test to the expected output determined by the oracle. Several types of oracles are discussed, including hand-crafted oracles, specification-based oracles, and independent implementation oracles. The document emphasizes that all oracles are partial, as it is impossible to create a perfect oracle that evaluates all possible outputs of a system.

An October 2019 survey by BoE and FCA found that ML in financial organizations has already passed an initial development phase, and the usage of live ML applications is about to dramatically increase over the next three years. Artificial Intelligence systems are used in market surveillance, they are providing intellectual analysis of news feeds, and they are an important part of the conversational agents facing users and helping them with their business needs from identity verification to trading and portfolio management. How to ensure that an AI-powered system is up to its task? And what would that mean from the software testing perspective?

On 17th January 2018 Exactpro successfully completed a management buyout from London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), signed a new multi-year master services agreement with LSEG, and opened its head office in London.
What else has happened in 2018?
I wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on what has been an unusual year for Exactpro.
Integration front to back - Mr. Custodian tear down that wall
The scope of the application level has been continuous extended over the years, albeit with a focus on the area of pre-trade and trade.
Recently, there has been an increased interest to move further into the area of post-trade which is predominantly driven by the ISO 20022 standard. Is there really a need for new FIX messages in areas such as payments and
what are the integration problems needing a resolution?
