Automated and Distributed Testing Using TTCN-3 by Hiroki Sato
Testing an operating system is not easy. FreeBSD project uses Kyua testing framework and has continuously made efforts to add more test cases. They are mostly written in shell scripts or some lightweight programming languages. Writing and maintaining complex test cases is still challenging.
This talk introduces TTCN-3, Testing and Test Control Notation version 3. This is a domain-specific language designed for automated testing and is widely used in telecommunicating systems as an ETSI industry standard. While the primary target is conformance testing of communication protocols, it is also helpful to write complex test cases for operating system testing that cannot be covered by shell scripting.
Eclipse Titan is a TTCN-3 toolchain that Ericsson internally developed and Eclipse Foundation now maintains under Eclipse Public License 2.0. It translates test cases in TTCN-3 to a C++ program, and it generates a single binary without annoying library dependency to perform testing. The toolchain runs on *BSD or other Unix-like systems with GCC, and includes powerful orchestrating controller and logging capability. This project also maintains production-quality test case implementations for various protocols we can reuse.
The talk will cover how to get started with Eclipse Titan on FreeBSD, and how to write test cases of networking and multiple nodes. It includes examples such as a simple string matching of messages over STDIN/STDOUT, a simple request/response packet exchange over IP, and more complex scenarios that show both the upside and downside of using TTCN-3.
Speaker Biography: Hiroki Sato is an assistant professor at Institute of Science Tokyo. He is one of the FreeBSD core team members and has been a FreeBSD committer since 2001.

Waardeloze prutsers:
EU-buitenlandministers nog altijd niet eens over maatregelen tegen Israël. Zo is er nog steeds onvoldoende steun, zelfs voor sancties, zoals het opschorten van Europese handelsvoordelen voor Israël of het deels stopzetten van de samenwerking in wetenschappelijke onderzoeksprogramma's.

Anthropic settles AI book piracy lawsuit
Anthropic has settled a class action lawsuit with a group of US authors who accused the AI startup of copyright infringement. In a legal filing, Anthropic says it has negotiated a “proposed class settlement,” allowing it to skip a trial that would have determined how much the company owes for allegedly training its AI models on pirated work.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, was heckled and drowned out at times by demonstrators at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in her home state Tuesday, the latest in a series of confrontations between protesters and members of Congress.
"Shame! Shame! Shame!" protesters yelled at Collins as she cut the ribbon to mark the completion of the long-running Route 1 construction project in Searsport.
The demonstrators were yelling about cuts to Medicare, Israeli attacks on Gaza and Donald Trump's nominees on the Supreme Court, video of the event shows.

The Future of Nitrocid KS in 2026
We are informing you that Nitrocid KS is going through many advancements, such as API changes and appearance changes. The final release of the fourth API generation, which Nitrocid v0.2.0 uses, will consist of many exciting features that will be added during development.
Many new features will be added to the kernel and to the shell to enhance your productivity, as well as new commands and UIs. We are constantly working on features to enhance them so that you can be more productive than never before. The UESH shell has been moved to Terminaux 7.0 since Tech Preview to allow other applications to experience the power of Nitrocid’s shell features that used to be exclusive to Nitrocid only.
While Nitrocid 0.1.0 brought a truckload of features and improvements, we felt that, even after we spent a year and a half on working on this version, those changes weren’t enough. Nitrocid 0.2.0 and future major versions aim to change this by introducing even more changes and enhancements. The tech preview of v0.2.0 encourages you to try out the technical aspect of the future version of Nitrocid.
Nitrocid 0.2.0 will only go through one release candidate before the official release so that we can gather feedback about the new features and enhancements we’ve introduced in this version. Those include new commands, new addons, and new screensavers, in addition to the upcoming attractive look and feel in both the lock and the home screens.
Additionally, we’ll be celebrating eight years of anniversary with two themes that use the following elements:
- Nitrocid logo colors used in 2021
- Nitrocid logo colors used in 2022
The very first version of Nitrocid was released on February 22nd, 2018. Since then, it has been quickly expanded to a powerful powerhouse of a simulated kernel in just six years!
The development of 0.2.0 will start around the beginning of September, with the exact dates unknown.

Nitrocid 0.2.0 will be a massive revolution of the simulated kernel! Get ready for the new freshness!

She had an impressive stage presence. Great music performance. They have 2 songs on Bandcamp:
