What you got for me, so I'm speaking on my mother. My mother was a single mom.  My mother now she's older. She's 50 She's 50. How do you I'm 24. Okay. She remarried actually Because her first husband had passed. Okay, but hold on. I need you to understand something Mm-hmm. What did I say is your mama a baby mama? No, no, no, I'm not finished. No, no, no. I'm asking is your mama a baby mama No, initially she's a widow. Right. So by definition, it's not the same No, but I'm not done go ahead so, um The next guy that she was with After him things did not work out She did have a kid with that with that person And that's where all the other kids came in and she was able to find someone else even though she already had And your point is ultimately what? My point is ultimately you can find someone else to be with you even if you are right Now why don't you go out and have a bunch of kids to see how that work for you? I don't think that's gonna work for me. Okay. Well, why don't so if you had so if you had daughters You go out and recommend doing the same thing Um No, that's not the point. Oh, yes, it is. Oh, yes, it is. Oh, yes, it is See when you ladies like you like to come in and say yeah, but see I know one person that it happened to work out for And see the exception doesn't disprove the rule it proves the rule First of all your mother was married She wasn't a baby mama to begin with but then she turned around and chose to become a baby mama and then got married again That's the way life worked out for her. Yes. So why don't you go? So what you want?  No, then what is it? I think the only reason to be 100 honest with you why it worked out for my mom is because My mom was like really She was really beautiful So why are you so again? Is every woman really beautiful? But then you said if you know ma'am is every woman really beautiful. First of all, I'm going back and forth with you But here's the net net of Do you know any women who have children who got married these days? Because see your mother's 50. I'm from the same generation. You're 24 Right, you got any friends that have got kids I have one friend right now that got married over zoom and she had a baby And she got married over she got Well, it's in the COVID pandemic moment. All right, so again ladies I'm going to tell you if you want to listen to this go right ahead Set your sights and play the odds But if you were out here giving women advice, what would you tell them? Bank on a COVID pandemic marriage? No, no, absolutely not. She was with him for a moment before What would you tell women to do? I would tell them don't make the same mistake twice What do you mean don't make the same mistake twice? Would you tell them to get married before they had a baby? That's not of course. Okay, then so Again, if you would tell if you were telling to get married before you had a baby the whole thing about your mother you just You just uh negated that No, I think that's a different generation. So my mother was fortunate. No, I'm I'm 51 years old.  I'm not arguing for the hard path Well making the point making the point making the point for it is arguing for it You're speaking. No, no understand something in debate when you are for something that's arguing for it I'm saying don't do it and you come in and say well, no, I'm going to go the opposite. So you're an affirmation of this No, yes, that's what you did No, no, no, no, no, that's called what you're saying doesn't have any nuance and I don't no No nuance see the the wonderful thing about life is you ladies like to play all this nuance when it comes to me And it's very black and white your mother was in she in the extreme minority Would you suggest that women go out and do what your mother did? No, then that's all you need to be speaking about going out and telling women Well, I wouldn't suggest that you did it, but it can't happen. Is that the wise course. You know what? You know what you may not you may not od on heroin or die, but it does happen But go ahead and take your chances Yeah, it really kind of is so at 24 years old. Why aren't you married yet? Boyfriend, um, why aren't you married yet? Did you go to college? Yes, okay.  Do I have to say my school out loud? I don't care. Did you graduate? Um, yes, okay, uh By 20, did you notice it? Do you have any college friends that you went to school with white friends non-black friends that are getting married? Because when I was good most women are getting married right out of college between 22 and 25 Hmm, I don't want to be like I don't want to sound racist or anti-Semitic or anything like that But a lot of my Jewish friends were married during college. Exactly. And so when I ask you, why don't you marry? You look like I asked you Something difficult. Why aren't you married yet? No? No, I don't think it's difficult. Um, don't want to get married this young I'm I I love my boyfriend. I'm happy Right, you better say that because you're gonna see the video but you but he but why didn't you marry him yet? Um, he wants to get married. Okay, so he's broke No, he's not broke. So he's so he's so what's wrong with him? Nothing's wrong with him. Let me get this right. He's not broken. He wants to marry you, but you don't want to get married What's wrong with you? Oh, I never said I don't want to get married. Well, I asked you why aren't you married? We're just not married yet How long you been together? We've been together. We're going on two years. Why aren't you married? I'll take the six months So let me get this right.  Yes And he has it Oh, I have a ring. Yeah He's dropped on one knee and proposed to you. Yes, and you said what? Of course, I said yes, but we just hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Whoa. Whoa Of course you said yes That would make a fiance not a boyfriend I mean No, no, no, no, no, no. I was very clear He dropped on one knee ring proposed.     They can't wait. They brush their hair all the time and Look, either show me your ring. Give me your hand. Show me the hand.  Ain't even on her finger. Yeah. Yep. See here's here's what's called She's what I she's what I consider to be pretty rich She's what I consider to be pretty rich Let me tell you what's wrong with pretty pretty rich women like this Pretty rich women are some of the worst women to deal with Why If this was a man that she wanted to marry First thing she would have married him a long time ago She damn sure wouldn't be calling a fiance a boyfriend. This is why I tell you BBD don't trust the big button to smile Bet not be trusting this pretty face just because you say something see Women like that tend to think men like myself get enamored with their looks I'm not impressed.  I question her just like I question everybody else and you see the same bs another black woman Who's apparently stringing some guy along because if he bought her a ring and it ain't on her finger I asked her if she'd married I wish I could rewind it. Are you married?  It's not true That's not okay. Then okay Back on the camera, please go ahead and came up I want to see this ring Here, uh-huh. I want to see the ring. I want to see the ring. I want to see the ring All right, uh-huh. Let me put it back on. Okay. Put the ring back on I don't need to see yeah. Yeah. We ain't trying to look at your boobs. We're trying to see the ring No, I just told you my dresser sir. Okay. Uh-huh now. Where's the man? He stepped out. He wants to get me some food. Right. You guys live together Yes And how long you've been engaged It just happened how long you've been engaged Literally like a week ago. Okay. Where do you propose? Right here at home. Uh, I said did you drop to a knee in public and propose you said yes I didn't hear in public. I just heard on a knee Because we can't go anywhere. Nothing's open right now Y'all been together two years. Have you started planning the wedding? Going on two years. I have to start planning it but like I'm a little worried because I'm calling up places and nothing's open and they don't know when they're gonna open and Who's paying for the wedding? Our parents And us Your mama's paying for it. No, no, no, no, no Um, his parents are putting something in and my parents also putting something in and he's also you mean your parents You mean your mama because you haven't talked about your daddy Um, my daddy passed away. Okay. I saw you hear that so his family's paying for it Mm-hmm. Is he just how old is he? He's 26 26 Have y'all gone to counseling Why premarital count because premarital counseling is usually recommended before you get married Oh, I didn't know that was a thing. We don't have any issues. Uh, no Premarital counseling is a wise thing to do Especially for a woman who's not claiming her fiance is as her boyfriend It was just a force of habit speech Okay Congratulations Thank you, sir. Are you gonna have any kids? Um, um, of course, I would love to with him. I don't say of course. I don't know He's a great man. I think he'd be a wonderful father Here's the thing if he's great put the ring on wear it and start calling him a fiance not a boyfriend That's in social that's that's I mean, I mean, I'm being serious one, but I'm being serious It's Not calling me your fiance is is is insulting to him because as people in the public Yeah Okay Yeah, premarital counseling would be wise Out here. I'm just like I'm nobody No, you somebody's fiance supposedly Say it nag like it Alrighty Whoo boy. Yeah, but get some counseling up in that much


I think it's absolutely critical to have a content marketing strategy to succeed now. As I said in my presentation also, people want interesting content and all our ads are competing against the superb content being distraught on so many media today. If we don't have a content marketing strategy, we will just be spending a lot of money and it will not give us ROI. The key recipes of success of a content marketing strategy is to make it so nice that it gets viral, therefore getting us a higher ROI than what we can otherwise get. Content marketing strategy, some of the basic principles of marketing have not changed in the last two decades. We have to understand who are we reaching out to, who is the audience, we have to understand what is the insight and then we have to produce a creative that is clutter breaking. So like for example, in our case, while we are in BFSI, which is a very, very serious category, but we try and use humor as much as possible to be able to break through the clutter. We try and use humor so that we can get shareability because that is what gets things viral in today's world. There are big changes. One of the biggest changes that is happening is that people have so much of content at their disposal that if they don't like you in two seconds, they can flip the screen and go to the next content. So first is short attention spans. We know more of the luxuries of producing a one minute television commercial and running it on digital. It will not work. One number one. One number two, what has really also has become a benefit is for years we used to do content marketing and activation in various places. But only those people who have seen the activity would come to know about it. The beauty now is I can do an activation, a relevant activation from a brand and proposition and it can go viral on entire social media and millions can come to know about it. So both it's a challenge because of the surfeit of content because of the excess content. It's a challenge. It's also an advantage because of its good content, it can go viral, which was not possible 10 years back.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says, if x plus 1 upon x is equal to 4, find the value of x to the power 4 plus 1 upon x to the power 4. Before moving on to the solution, let's recall the identity a plus b whole square is equal to a square plus 2ab plus b square. This is used as the key idea in this question. Now let's move on to the solution. We are given that x plus 1 upon x is equal to 5. So this would mean x plus 1 upon x whole square is equal to 5 square. That is, we get this on squaring both sides. Now expanding x plus 1 upon x whole square using the identity a plus b whole square equal to a square plus 2ab plus b square. So this would give us x square plus 2 into x into 1 upon x plus 1 upon x whole square. This is equal to 5 square which is 25. Now this further gives us x square plus 2. So this is x and x gets cancelled plus 1 upon x whole square would be 1 upon x square equal to 25. This gives us x square plus 1 upon x square is equal to 25 minus 2. That is, we have x square plus 1 upon x square is equal to 23. Now again, we square both the sides. So on squaring both sides, we get x square plus 1 upon x square whole square is equal to 23 whole square. Again, using the identity given in the key idea of a plus b whole square equal to a square plus 2ab plus b square, we will expand the left hand side that is x square plus 1 upon x square the whole square. So this would give us x square the whole square plus 2 into x square into 1 upon x square plus 1 upon x square the whole square equal to 23 whole square. So now this further gives us x square the whole square is x to the power 4 plus 2 since this x square and x square gets cancelled plus 1 upon x square the whole square is 1 upon x to the power 4 is equal to 23 whole square which is 529. Now from here, we get x to the power 4 plus 1 upon x to the power 4 is equal to 529 minus 2. This gives us x to the power 4 plus 1 upon x to the power 4 is equal to 527. So we have got the value for x to the power 4 plus 1 upon x to the power 4 equal to 527. So our final answer is 527. So this completes the session. Hope you understood the solution for this question.


Hi, everyone. I'm Ron Rothblum, and I wanted to invite you to my talk on building collision-resistant hash functions from multi-collision-resistant hash functions, a joint work with Prashant Vasudevan. So as you can guess by the title, this work is about hash functions, specifically collision-resistant hash functions. So these are very prominent and widely studied notion in cryptography. It's basically hash functions that are shrinking, which means that there must be a lot of collisions around, but it is computationally hard to find collisions. So it's a very useful and powerful notion in crypto. And in recent years, there's been a study of a relaxation of this notion, which is called multi-collision-resistant hash functions, where, for example, you could have a situation in which maybe it's easy to find sort of pairwise collisions, but it's hard to find three-wise collisions. Okay, so that would be a three-way multi-collision-resistant hash functions. And it's sort of a weaker notion. It seems to be a weaker notion than collision-resistant hash functions. And in this work, we actually show how to transform, in some settings, multi-collision-resistant hash functions into collision-resistant hash functions, which I find to be pretty surprising that it's possible to do that. And in particular, the construction is pretty weird in an interesting way. And one of the interesting aspects is that it's non-blackbox. So the collision-resistant hash function that we end up constructing makes a non-blackbox use of the collision-resistant hash function. And it's also non-explicit in the sense that if you tell me, you know, here's an MCRH, give me back a collision-resistant hash function, I won't be able to do that. What I will be able to prove to you is that a collision-resistant hash function exists, but I can't really point out the algorithm. And if you'd like to hear more about it and learn why it's non-constructive and non-blackbox, then you are more than welcome to attend my talk at Crypto. So see you there. Bye, everyone.

So I think we can start. Welcome everyone to our session. We are very happy to see so many people in that late hour and Yeah, this is our presentation improve development process with better QA approach. Actually, it's about our experience We wanted to share with you what we are doing what how we are improving our development process and maybe some of these Deep streaks and advices can help you improve your own process in your company. Maybe as a QA members or maybe as other part of the Other members of the team. So we're starting with our agenda First of course, we will introduce ourselves after that and we will explain a little bit more details about why we decided to make this session because This is very important to know why and what is part such session After that, we will share with you our vision about QA twos Versus QA power and what we mean about power and after that we'll talk about the most common QA mistake from our point of view which is applicable in all companies not only in our company and After that we will share you Our secret of success how we are actually what we are doing How you can be better from our point of view, of course and how to deliver better projects with better process with On time with in the budget, which is very important and of course a little time for questions So let's start with introduction My name is Bushdar Bushnakov. I'm a rare manager in Gabriol. This is a small city in Bulgaria Where we have a whole production unit consist of 25 developers QA's front-enders and project managers I'm also head of the QA department in Bulgaria for FFW I was leading all automation activities all the activities of course for the QA department and all develop new processes for the company and for our department and This is actually one of the reasons I I've decided to create this this session for you to to share a little bit what I can from my experience and Here with me is my colleague. He will introduce himself Hi, my name is Tony I'm automation lead in FFW Okay, and Yeah, I have about four years of experience as a QA and three of them are as an automation engineer I have worked on for the one of the biggest projects in the company such as a wish cosmetics Nordisk film the Grofa Amnesty International and etc. And Yeah past the ball to Bushdar Okay, so yeah, Tony will speak about our secret later, but yeah, let's start With this one if you want to add some questions because our time is short as you know This is one of the short sessions Please join and swido on this link. And if you have any questions, you can ask them and we will Be sure that we will answer all of the questions that We have after the the session if we have time or after that Out of the room because another is coming. Okay, so this is the the link QA V from Vienna and The year yeah, so let's start and Why this session? This is as I said very important Question and why because I see that in many companies There are problems not with the development not with the skills of the people not with the ability of the QA's or the developers to do their job, but With the cooperation between them with the communication between them and with the process overall and I Think that we found a way to improve this It's not perfect, of course, and it's it will never be perfect but I think that we find found a way to improve the whole process and as a QA engineer specialist to Actually help the others do their job better and to help our self too To not report like a thousand books after the project is delivered and we have a Like two months for after the project is done to fix all these books and the client is mad. So yeah, this is actually the first The initial point that we started when we were creating the session and of course Here comes the the first thing that we want to share with you Actually, what for us means QA power and where is actually the QA power and the cure power is hidden in for us in this Five very important words, which all of you know all of you know that are important but it's about how we are Using them and what we are doing in order to have them as a QA engineers the first word of course is the impact. What is the impact of the Q engineer for the Development process as you know the QA is the one who is testing the system and verifying that the functionalities are working well We don't have any books with we are having the requirements Implemented in the right way and working almost bug-free almost, but the impact of the case not only the Functionality not only to verify that the code is working right the impact of the case should be more and more global We need to think what the client needs We want we need to think what the client needs to improve their business their idea Why they came to us with this project? What is their business? Why they did have before what is not working for them? what actually because To our company are coming very big projects very big projects with very big clients and they got a little a Little bit complex structure Maybe most of the time or always so we need to get into this structure and to realize What they want really not just how our developers? Implemented some functionality and this is the impact actually QA should start from the beginning of the project to the end of the project and Have impact on every each phase of the project not only in the development Yeah, I think is the involvement and this is about the involvement. We need to involve the Q engineers in the whole process I know many companies. I've worked with a lot of colleagues that said that they are just receiving designs For example, they are just receiving requirements and documentations which are already written approved by the clients and they just need to Strictly for them and to see if the developers are doing their job to implement Exactly the steps you see in the documents But I think that the involvement of the QS should be at all parts and when the designers are creating the designs where the technical leaders architects are creating the architecture or Working on the descriptions of the stories of the functionalities. We need to be there. We need to give our advices. We need to give our Concerns because they are very important. We can say, okay, this could cause us a lot of issues in future Please rethink about it or change it if if you have a better idea share with them. This is a nice Nice one and it is very very good Accepted by the clients when you share with them an idea how they can improve their business and I saw this in my experience The other thing is knowledge of course to be able to give such ideas to participate on such meetings like a technical architecture meeting or business Idea improvement meetings of something like this or discovery of the project you need to have the knowledge to be Capable of giving ideas or to be able to saying this is not right or You need to rethink this functionality because it won't be that useful in future. So the knowledge is something that we own it and as QA's we need not only knowledge about the QA specific We need to have knowledge about project manager activities about developer activities We need to be able to read at least code I can say that we need to be a half developers actually But we need to be able to read understand code to understand what the developers are doing and what everyone is doing because this is very important and of course the mindset the mindset of us all should be in the right direction we should not think of us like Some bad guys that will find all the books and say to developers You're not that good to not use another word We need to have the right mindset we need to help the others We are there to verify that the work is correctly done, but not by showing others mistakes We need to help them improve their self help them to be better And if we can catch something earlier, we need to show them not to see okay Maybe this in future will produce a book, but I won't tell them because after that I will report it And I'll be very nice because for one task I'll report like five books and I can say okay our developers Right and we are that good Okay, so the mindset is very important to and of course the responsibility the responsibility of the QA's is Also for the whole project. We are not responsible only for the things that are coming to our side We are responsible also for the deadlines. We are support Responsible for the quality of the coat of We receive not is it working or not, but the quality of the coat We are responsible also for the documentation that we are sending where it's possible also for the Communication that we have with the client This is also our responsibility as a Q engineers and we need to think about all these things We need to be aware of every step and every face of the project No matter if it takes if it if it is expected something from us Directly or not. So these are the things and of course the other side are the tools I don't say that the tools are not important. They are very important. Actually, we are losing a lot of tools Which helping us a lot But if you have tools without the first five words from our point of view Your job will never be enough and your job will never be Perfect or nearly perfect because This is the most important one the power These things are more important than the tools. Of course, we will say about our tools We will say what we are doing. Of course, we are building automation tests. Of course, we are making packages and so on but First of all, we need to think about the power and the power comes on this one So yeah, the most common QA mistake What what I have seen from my experience is that the QA's are added only At the face of the project where There are some ready tasks which need to be tested and this is a huge huge mistake from my point of view This is bad not only for the project not only for the clients not only for the development team But for the QMs themselves because they are not improving in this way They are just stuck in this situation when you are going to receive a task. You will test it You will find the books after that you will verify that and that that's it You your your job is done and you need to go on the next task No, when you're in the project this is about dedication. You need to think about the project You need to find the way to improve everything in the project not only the tasks and the most common QA mistakes is that the QA is not part of the whole process The QA is just a small part which is in the development process when the tasks are done Here I just took one one picture. This is the process. This is an agile sprint As you can see but this can apply for the whole project. These are actually all phases of one one project We have planning. We have grooming. We have meetings a lot of meetings We have sprint reviews. We have retrospective retrospective meetings, which are very important and Actually, I see that many times the QA is only in this section QA is stuck in the sprint execution section where we are just testing tasks reporting books after then after that we are Verifying them and that's it and that's it and that's it. This is very bad. This is very bad because for the clients I think that the QA feedback is the most important because the QA is the perfect position between the clients and the developers very often I see developers that are not able to explain in business understandable language why they did something why they develop this or why this is Hard to be implemented and they and the client need to needs to rethink it and Here should come the QA Who has the business understanding who has the business knowledge? to actually explain in the right way to the client what they need and Of course the technical background technical background to help him realize Which is possible which is not and how we can manage through through these distractions because these These are distractions every every time we have some misunderstanding between client and the development team. We have distraction which causes a lot of problems and In the better scenarios, we have the QA is also in the planning We have the QA is also in the retrospective meetings, but as I said, this is not enough we need to have a little bit more more impact overall on the projects we have and Here is the time to share our secret what we are doing and how we are actually Jumping in these other phases because it's easy to say we need to be everywhere But it's hard to realize it in the real life. It's Hard to find a place where there are no Defined tasks exactly for you assigned to you. It is very hard to find your place where In your company for example till now you didn't be You haven't been there and this is a problem and here we will share our secrets what we make in order to fit in these phases where I Think it's our place and now it's Tony Stern. He'll explain you more about this Okay, hello, so I imagine that most of you are working on Scrum and Agile So I will explain how the QA can impact the different phases of the project Let's imagine we have a project and initially we have a discovery and we have a product backlog creation then of course we have the design phase where some creative guys are creating something fancy and then we have some grooming sessions some planning some estimations of course then comes the sprint execution where Actually, the real work is happening and after everything is done. We've analyzed the project and we have to hand over it to the client or Some other company that's going to support this project. So let's start with the discovery phase What we have here the discovery phase is Actually one of the most important phases because this is where the development team and the company that's going to build a product He's meeting the client is meeting its requirements And this is the most important part to first the QA step in not only the technical leader Not only the technical architect not only sales guys because this is important This is the the foundation of a project then we have the initial clarification meetings that come right after They're actually a combination and they need to happen with all of the guys Then we have the the experience of the QA what this means because an experience QA can help the clients Clarify their ideas because they come with something we want to build this but the QA can Easily tell them you can build this but you can build it that way and this will interact with the users more and This will give you a better Better Process when you reach your end of life cycle and the product is done Then what we have we have the design phase. What means the design phase? This is where the creative guys are creating some fancy stuff, but what happens here usually but not Very often the design guys are thinking about the front end But the front end is the hard part where you make pictures reality Usually these designers are creating some fancy stuff that are hard to implement how I kill them Yeah, these are fancy and expensive stuffs. What this means that? Something very beautiful will cost the front end guy to be implemented like 20 30 hours And this is something expensive right here the QA can come in and say Because he's a technical guy, but he's also a business guy He has to understand the both worlds and he says to the client, okay This is cool. This is nice. You can have it But it will cost you a lot of hours and then the client can rethink, okay Can we have something that is less expensive, but looks as good as this one and this is where the QA Come in and get some feedback from the designer Then we propose something we have some meetings and everything is done. We have something fancy That is not so expensive Then what we have is the UX usually clients think of a product that it's something working and They don't think that Usually there are a couple of products usually there are some Internal systems that the client is going to use but in most of the cases they are building a product for the end user And this is very important to think as an end user because the client is Maybe some technical guys. They are not so technical. It depends on the client But we have to think as a non-technical people as a end user and this is where the UX part comes The QA can suggest improvements in early stage where for example, this is not going to work Well as a end user. They're not going to understand This it's very important for example for commerce shops. You have to focus on people buying stuff You know, you'll build your online market You want people to buy your stuff and you need to focus your UX on that for example You should have large and clearly visible add to cart buttons You should have large and clearly visible checkout buttons etc You should not focus on for example having carticles or something like this because your main goal This is an example is to sell your stuff. You build something fancy You want to sell it you have to you want to have billions of sales and your business to grow You have to focus on that and you need to focus your design of your website on this You want to sell for example, you may have a news website You want to focus on the article itself and on the content not on the other stuff, but Yeah, then we have to think about mobile devices nowadays. Most of the users are using the web through their mobile device It might be a phone a tablet or something like this, but most of us are using Internet on our mobile device and It's very tricky to fit a watch website. That's displayed on a computer to be perfectly Viewed on a mobile device. This is something to think because clients they're usually using computers to work They they also have phones, but they don't think this way. They usually Think of it just see presentations on the desktop version of the design But we have to think about mobile devices and of course we have to think about older Internet Explorer versions when something fancy comes in from the design But the client says we want to support E8 which cannot have this fancy design in it And this is where the QA can come and say yeah, you want this fancy thing But it's not supported by E8. Either we remove the Fancy thing or we remove the E8 and we all cross our fingers to remove all Internet explorers Yeah, then when we have what we have is some grooming planning and estimations This is usually where all the team members come discuss the tasks or write some technical descriptions write some the acceptance criterias together with the client and Where the tasks are actually born I'm talking about us because yeah, I assume we are working on a job Then what we have here is as I said creating of a task here The QA can go and sit with for example the technical lead and discuss the task this way The QA will have an idea what is going to be built for example in first print in second print and Have an idea what to expect to test because as we said QA should not be part only when the testing is Ready when a task is ready to be tested because this will He will not have time to prepare for example, you know that you are going to build some listing pages some Maps and you can research for example. What is tricky about a map? What is tricky about listing something like this? This is why the QA for example should take pay part of The grooming session then we have the sprint execution itself what we have here We have a lot of work to do. This is where the the thing is happening First of all, we commit to a plan. What is this plan? We we say that in two weeks for example, we are going to deliver 10 tasks But what means deliver deliver means that this task is completed. It's it's developed It's stout it's tested and there are no bugs But usually developers don't take that that way they think that we are going to develop till the end of the sprint But this is not the case because we have to force developers to think that there are other people after their work is done That need to style this thing that they developed that someone needs to test it Probably they are way with some bugs. We need to fix them. They may cost a lot of time So we need to push developers to Be done with the development As soon as possible because we need to they need to pass the task to the other steps Then what we have when a task reaches a QA, we have the manual testing which of course is Required for everyone. We have also the manual testing with Zephyr. What is Zephyr? Zephyr is a Jira extension I assume that everyone or most of you is using Jira as a task management system But we are using Jira and we found Zephyr to be very useful because it's integrated in it We don't have to use an external system. For example before we used test link There are other free and open source stuffs But we decided to go with Zephyr because it has really really strong integration with Jira. You have tasks in Jira. You can relate a simple test to a ticket and I will explain later what how it helps and then we have the automation tests What automation tests we are using? For example, we have BHAD framework. We are using BHAD It is a very famous framework for developing automation tests in the Drupal world because it has very strong integration with it. It has some extensions, it's built on PHP which is one of the most important parts that we are using it because Drupal is based on PHP and we have developers that know PHP well and when we face some troubles we go to them and ask them to fix them for us or help us to give them nice areas and Also what we have? We have backtrack This is a screenshot comparison tool which actually there are a lot of tools But we are currently using that one and building our own But it's what is doing when we deploy for example at the end of the sprint our Our new stuff that we built this sprint we want to compare if something has been broken So we create a snapshot before the deployment we deploy we create new snapshot What means snapshot is screenshot of the most important pages and then this tool just goes and compares the two screens and Show us the differences, but there are a lot of different picture comparison tools that you can use on the there are various tools on the net So and in the end we have a project handover what means project handover that We want to pass our project to the client. So we finalize it where everyone is happy Here what happens usually we should do a training and this training is best to be done by QA because if All the things that I have mentioned have been followed the Q will be the best person that knows a lot of the system knows How it works technically knows how it works as a user from a user perspective and knows how to use the system for as a Editor for example create content out new stuff, etc Usually the QA is the guy that is doing the documentation So I I think we think that the QA should be the guy that is going to do these three trainings to To the guys that are going to use the system and yeah, I think we are short of time. So If you have any questions Okay, okay, we'll be in the hall. Thank you Thank you very much


So you found out you heard the news that, you know what, with holding tax on contracts, $10,000 or less, stop. That's no more. What was your first reaction, your initial reaction? I was like, are you serious? A government doing that, boy? This is good. This is nice. What's your name, sir? I'm a registered contractor, we cover better. How long have you been, would you say you've been in the contract business, I've been a contract? About 20 years. I do a lot of drains, roads and this all the time. I'm all into that sort of thing, drains and roads. Do you know we fold the tax? Guys would come to me for work and I really want to get them job, but I couldn't because I knew where I'd be losing. It was like, what? But you had to pay tax for it?  I never really liked it before the drinks. I would hire like two, three guys, but now I could hire five, six, bring in some more guys because I have more money to spend. I could buy more tools, my barrels are old. I could buy some more of these things. Of course it helps a lot, quite a bit. So all in all, how do you feel about the removal of the I think it's well done. Well photo. It's a good initiative. It's well done. I'm happy with it.

I ain't gonna lie to you Love rap love music, right? What made you is Is it is a country rap? You know people put a different name on it really but yeah, you could call it country rap But I like to think I make you know like all kinds of music So I make rap music and then I might have a song that's that's a rock song or a country rap song So I kind of make like you on one CD you'll have different genres of music, but it's still all like cadence rap You know what I mean? Wow. Now we up here in Chicago Downtown Chicago you you never would have thought That you to call the old boy out of Texas and old boy out of Portland and put us in Chicago cash via Portland, Tennessee and we in Chicago. We done made it to the big city With the big buildings we we're here stand up. You know Texas got a lot of big buildings. I'm not where I'm from You just met me in the city if you to make me where I'm from. I don't even know if you the state I did take you down there. I was about to say Anyway, tell me what was it like growing up in a country for you It wasn't always a country field, you know what I mean But yeah, I grew up in like as a smaller town I grew up in a trailer. So that's how you know the music in the brand for mobile home rich became a thing And that's how people started liking it and you know, the fan base built behind that saying because a lot of people around there You know grew up that way. So there's a lot like there's trailer parks trailers just surrounded all over I think the city then I grew up in They have a lot of trailer homes. Yeah, there's like 10 trailer parks Let me stop you right there Most of the time When there's a lot of trailers, yeah, there's some meff around. Oh Yeah, I'm talking about missing teeth All kinds of stuff going on swollen faces It's horribly addictive drug in these neighborhoods. But why does that? Have to go with trailer parks. It's the Leparvest areas, right? Yeah I mean the way I look at it is, you know, it's a trailer trailer park But at the end of the day, it's like it's a poverty area like it's a lower-class that's right So it's really like any lower-class community really has that problem right now with like fitting all and it's not to It's crazy you say that because I just put out a song. It's like a story song about that.  Yeah, I've known a lot of people there's a You know, there's a lot of people seeing a lot of people that that's happened have fan have had a family do it You know family pass away from stuff like that So it's it's everywhere right now. Not just where I'm at but like But have you seen people beat it though? I always like to go both Spectrum of the yeah, yeah, like people because people talk about the addiction and how hard it is to beat it They have you seen people actually overcome beat it and clean for years now. Yeah, I've seen a few people do that Um, I wish I've seen more people do it. But yeah, I've seen a few people do it. It is possible. Yeah, people do it I mean, there's a lot of people you see that, you know Especially like for me people that I was younger that like went down that path You'll see something like now some of them aren't alive no more and some of them are like, you know Living good now and like did better and finally got it right man. So are you erased with your mom and dad? Yeah, I was at one like split home. But yeah, okay So so both of that you spend time with both and do you dad lived in a trailer park as well? Oh, it was a trailer. It wasn't in a park In the trailer yeah, so your dad lived in a trailer your mom didn't trailer now We kind of moved around like my mom she moved around kind of different places But uh from where to where tell me something just like around like around in the same city Yeah, same area of the city like it's kind of on the line like Franklin, Kentucky Portland, Tennessee like around that area but Yes, it was kind of close to that but So your mom your dad split households and You were with your siblings No, I didn't have no similar your only child only kid Yeah, really but you had to be with your mom mainly because most most kids always go with mom and not with dad I was back and forth really. It's like a back and back and forth thing So so you never said well, I just want to live with my dad or I want to live with my mom No, I just kind of was back and forth. Okay different amounts of time You know what I mean, so and I always feel like they do okay. You said you're older now Can you look back and feel like living in? Separate households with your parents.  I? Don't really think it No, I don't really think that because I had a difference right me where I'm from and like you know I don't think it really really would have made a much of a difference You know what I mean like it would okay? It would have personally my life based on like people there's people in my life that wouldn't have been that wasn't the case but uh Because people always feel like you have more structure when you have both parents in the same household You have a certain type of upbringing compared to when you don't Yeah, I guess it depends on your upbringing and like you know your parents and stuff based on structure and stuff like that So yeah, I mean I could see that to a point.  Yeah, so I started doing music when I was like Like I wanted to do it at like eight years old like from the moment. I was a kid. That's what I said I wanted to do and uh I Was just young and I had like my first CDs, you know listening to different rappers like I listened to like Eminem and a Lot of different rappers. I listened to like three six mafia with DJ Paul a little white people like that project Pat there's a big project Pat fan and Yeah, like and I grew up to get to work with them and stuff too. So, you know that But at eight years old when you were looking after these people you never thought that was even possible never thought I'd meet none of them But you know, I just kept doing it and I spent about you know It didn't work at first, but you know like ten years into it I finally found a way to make it happen I found a brand and but found a way to make it a living, you know, I mean That's crazy. Yeah, I spent ten years not really making it nowhere I wouldn't really doing the right things and then give up Yeah, cuz I know so many people even if you I've had somebody recently on the show And even when you make it and you become viral and you did good You know, everybody have the ups and downs in their career Yeah, where you do so good and all of a sudden it takes so long for you to get another hit and that can be depressing It mentally is hard on you. Yeah, I feel like when you first Get everybody's eyes on you you want to try to do you want to try to stay relevant and find a way to do it, you know So yeah, that's a thing I just always wanted to find a way to be able to you know do it as a living and do it Like do what I wanted to do as a you know make it a living. You know what I mean?  Let me stop you. It's a it's a it's a guy out there He's a country rap to yeah. Oh, I don't know their words. His name is told down.  How many years ago was that that was a long time ago You wasn't even around and then it was another one the Duke That was kind of country feel dah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, it was like John Wayne, right? So this was early signs of there was a chance that Country rap could be a thing. Yeah, I mean, there's definitely some oh geez and that was it though No, you're right. It is very slim to know and so for you to come into that transition It would be a difficult and a thing where we weren't used to hearing it that way So man, thank you for even getting in there and doing like what made you feel and I might have missed something But what made you feel like man, I gotta I gotta do this Man, it's just something since I was such a young age. I just wanted to do and it's a You know, I see a lot of artists come and go in it and it's something like for me. It's something that I just I Couldn't not do it if I wanted to like I wake up every day and every single day like all day I'm focused on it like I wake up and I mean they're talking to somebody I'm recording. I'm Trying to write this something I'm talking to a producer. I'm talking to a show promoter, you know Just another artist anything like that. And it's like it's an everyday thing. You know what I mean? Yeah, and it's like an everyday grind and something that I just I really I just I had a song start to take off and do good and Before that I was working construction in Nashville. Okay, and I was doing fire sprinklers and I wasn't doing music a lot at that time like I had been in the past But like at that point I wasn't After it like I am now or nothing and I wasn't doing it all the time and you know, I decided to give it one more Go, you know, like one more go to try it one more time and I did a song that started to do good and You know, I came up with the mobile home rich brand and that started to take off So it just finally worked out for me, you know, and what I was saying about the difference in between then and now You know back then when I first started rapping, I was just you know doing like hip-hop shows Yeah, and the other stuff wasn't really around like that yet and I which I still do rap shows, you know, of course, but If that environment wasn't there and then I always had like the trailer rap thing going on but when I started coming out with that mobile home rich brand it just I Guess the fans kind of gave me that label of country rap and it's still, you know, it's still rap Like I said, I do different Genres of it, but that's really something like the people a label the people put on me Wow, but Family members was that ever critical critical moments or criticizing people saying that you acting black or anything like that Yeah, I've dealt with that. I was younger for sure and like Yeah, yeah, I've definitely went through that Yeah, I went through a point where people told me to go, you know, give up and get a different job you know go to college for something else like I'd went to school for a little bit for audio engineering too and I didn't finish. I almost did but I got out and I was recording.   I guess it's not everybody that makes it and you and I both know that it's Low percentage, you know, I mean people wanna rap there are so many different people trying to be an artist and You know for you to feel like you've you've done what you set out to do It's a big accomplishment when it comes down to it like man I've really really stayed true consistent and stayed the course, you know what I'm saying? And I think that's something that's that's commendable within itself man So so thank you for keeping consistency there. Thank you for loving the culture You know what I'm saying and I think that's that's a huge huge accomplishment man So kudos to you for figuring it out, you know Are you really country what I mean you you got this country accent you you know, you I mean I know about golf Brooks and I know about What who had Brad Paisley was named any of them old boys? Tim McGraw, you know country boys, you know, and I know about You know a lot of country boys. I grew up with but how country are you?  Yeah Whatever you're killed I've been deer hunting rabbit hunting squirrel hunting. What color are you up one out at night to shoot a rabbit? Not not at night time. I have not I have something.   No, the rabbit rabbit is everywhere You know deer or something else too.  Oh, yeah Yeah, that ain't good. But yeah hitting them. But yeah I've went on a bonus but a bonus buck hunt and lower hill. Okay, what they call Monkey Ridge and like I've done some hunting. Yeah, but as far as like being the most like country, you know, I just I Don't know. I'm just me. I'm from a place where You know, I've been in the city. I've been in the country I Listen to rap music, you know, I like different genres of music, but uh rappers like a mix man I guess that's how it I guess I'm a mix of different different cultures different places Who's your favorite artists rap artists top three artists of all time dead or alive top three artists of all time Who would that be? Can a group count as one artist or has he got to be a yes? Yes, I put 36 mafia is my favorite Yeah, that's that that's it three six. I put that I probably say Number two narrows down. I have to think about this. How did it feel when you met three six mafia? I haven't met them all at once, but like I've worked with different Paul No, I haven't I haven't worked with DJ Paul. I've worked with the project Pat little white crunchy black I've done a show with Le Chat Um Those are those the ones that's hard that I've done stuff with I'd like to work with all of them You know, but uh those that's what I grew up listening to man So and a lot of people do you know you be surprised like out there at the mud part What you hear people running around? That's what they're not running around playing like stuff. He was talking about Brad Paisley No, they're they're running around Jason Alding Yeah, they're not listening to I mean there might be some but they're running around playing like Stuff like three six like rap music playing, you know, the current country rappers like jelly's huge right now Jelly rope you've hear jelly roll everywhere you go right now. That's big, you know, so he's everywhere You hear people like Justin time up church like You know, but they listen to regular rap, too They might hear a little baby playing in the in the mud part So you didn't get my next to my last to one at the top three your artists of all time man, I have to I'd say Eminem was one that I remember, of course, I feel like that's a that's somebody that every white boy is gonna Mention no Not really and I'm a hater and then let me just stop you right there because I'm gonna mention machine gun Kelly I actually met him. Yeah, so I'm gonna I'm gonna mention machine gun now Is he on an MNM level probably not but I met him. So what's up? Yeah Yeah, I like I like yellow wolf stuff to a lot Everybody compares me to who the sound they compare my sound to yellow wolf. That's my boy I mean, I didn't see to they always say the wolf They compare you to your wolf the sound Yeah, it's that high-pitched southern like it's the high pitchness in my voice in the songs is what I think it is Well, if you give me one of your verses that you you didn't get my you did you give my third when you didn't get my third one yet? Not right out it could be anybody Hell it could be Johnny Cash. Yeah for all I care. Yeah, it's so hard to say Of all time and current that are alive. Oh, that's such a tough one man. I named the top two Yeah, one more six Yeah, I suffer. That's a tough question man. There's a lot give me one. Give me one. Give me one. Oh A lot of people go with Tupac and all them Now he do he don't know nobody. Oh, yeah, I listen to him, of course, but I'll be in that somebody that somebody everybody would say, you know, it's right That's right. You got to give that. All right. So, you know, I listen. I listen to a lot of haystack growing up, too Okay, place for me. I'll listen a lot of that.  Let me just say this I think and I want to break down my ill in the imperception today for you guys who know y'all if y'all know the show Y'all know I be on Eminem pretty bad because I feel like this culture thing, you know, it's run thick You know, I'm saying meaning, you know, you know, we brought rap into the game brothers You know I'm saying so just to hand it off and say he's the best of all time. I have issues with that Let's be real. It's hard to say anybody But I'm gonna say the reason I'm so hard on Eminem Yeah, it's because really, you know, when he first made that first album and he was rocking out with Dre and all of them Mm-hmm. It was something I could relate to a little bit cause of the way the culture He was in a mixing with snoob. He was in a mixing with Jay Z. He was in a mixing with these people, bro He was he was collabing more than what he do today. Yeah Now he don't do that no more. Let's that that's my problem right there. I just figured it out Right here with you here. Yeah, is that he started off different than what he yields today. He changed on me That bastard was good Seeing work was a lot more He changed on me, but he's he's done a lot of songs a lot early on He was he was all he was definitely collabing more with the culture with my people But at the end he kind of just kind of you know But he was killing them verses. Maybe they got tired of rapping with him He being a white guy, they didn't want to just see him just whoop him on the no They didn't want to do it because if you get on the rap with this boy, listen to me You got to bring your a game. Yeah, because he's gonna try to take you out. You know what I'm saying So but I don't know why I went there, but at the end of the day, man um You okay, you gotta you gotta feel me on this man like being you said three six mafia man Juicy Janium boy listen, I'm gonna tell you something else. You might not agree with it You might not even heard the song you ever heard sipping on some scissors.
