is set to launch in India on December 12, following its initial launch in China on November 7. The phone was unveiled alongside the iQoo 12 Pro. There is no word yet on the India launch of the Pro model, however, several details about the Indian variant of the base iQoo 12 5G model have been confirmed officially. The handset will come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and run Android 14-based Funtouch OS 14. The model will come as a successor to the iQoo 11 5G, which received a price cut recently. Meanwhile, the price of the iQoo 12 5G was accidentally leaked online via an Amazon listing. Tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414) spotted the price of the iQoo 12 5G on Amazon India before it was taken down. The phone is seen to be listed in two configurations. The 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 512GB options will be priced in India at Rs. 52,999 and Rs. 57,999, respectively, according to the screengrabs shared by the tipster. The launch is scheduled for December 12 in India.As of now, the Amazon listing doesn't show any price details and only offers details on pre-booking the handset. Customers can pre-book the iQoo 12 5G at only Rs. 999 and can confirm the purchase between December 13, 12PM IST and December 14 12AM IST. With pre-booking, buyers can get a free Vivo TWS Air earbuds worth Rs. 2,999. The phone is offered in Alpha (black) and Legend (white) colour options. On the Amazon listing, the iQoo 12 5G claims to be India's only flagship smartphone with a 50-megapixel + 50-megapixel + 64-megapixel camera setup. One of the 50-megapixel sensors is a primary sensor, while the other is paired with an ultra-wide-angle lens. The third sensor will be paired with a telephoto sensor with 100X digital zoom support. The front camera of the phone will carry a 16-megapixel sensor.iQoo 12 5G is confirmed to be powered by an octa-core 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. It will also ship with Android 14-based Funtouch OS 14 out-of-the-box and offer three years of software updates and four years of security patches, as has been announced earlier. The phone will feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 144Hz and also pack a 5,000mAh battery with 120W wired fast charging support. https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/news/iqoo-12-5g-price-india-leak-amazon-december-12-launch-4636074

There are a lot of advantages to software test automation, but sometimes it is more prudent for startups to stick with manual testing. Here's a look at the pros and cons of both types of testing for startups.No company today can afford to ship broken software-based products. Even if you're not in a highly regulated industry, bad quality assurance (QA) can decimate sales and prompt job losses, reputational damage, customer loss, and even loss of life. QA sounds like a given, but software testing is growing more complicated, thanks to the expansion from just desktop applications to web, mobile, and embedded applications. Startups ordinarily test a large amount of their software code manually. After enough expansion, they're usually unable to keep up with the volume. This is where software test automation does wonders, and conventional wisdom suggests you might as well always use it. And why not, right? Related: What Are Software Testing and Quality Assurance? But as impressive as test automation is, does a startup always need automated testing? Are there, in fact, times when manual testing is more prudent? And if you decide to switch to automation as a startup, how do you do it? When is the right time? What's Your Company's Maturity? Ask yourself: Are you a startup whose product is still in flux? You may not be ready for automated testing if underlying frameworks and target platforms are changing by the week. Startups move extremely quickly when starting from zero, often pushing function to the max while they attract investment, introducing a colossal amount of new code weekly. Doing this will likely bring numerous foundational changes to features, UI, and the like. Automated testing, in this case, doesn't necessarily help because the process of creating build automation test scripts takes time. If you must do this from scratch every time your app undergoes significant change, you're wasting developer resources. Conversely, relying on manual testing will only prove possible if your app development stabilizes and you gain enough scale. For example, suppose one of Europe's most prominent industrial players has had a product on the market for over a decade. In that case, its enormity probably means nobody wants to change much under the hood out of fear it will break. Automated testing makes lots of sense in that caseThe other thing to understand is that automated and manual testing are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Each has its merits, but they also require vastly different skill sets. Suppose a startup company is launching a food delivery app. The QA process would look something like this: Click on buttons or links to see if they work correctly Check if the users can enter data into text fields See if search bars, drop-down menus, and navigation are working In a scenario like this, manual testers would typically involve non-scripters, non-programming savvy individuals. And that's a good thing. You don't want those testers to make assumptions a programmer would make about how things run. You want them to look at a GUI, not overthink it, and use it like a "normal" human consumer. This approach reveals entirely different problems. Automated testing, on the other hand, uses scripted sequences to execute a test case scenario, hunting for bugs/defects — the goal being to simplify manual labor into scripts that can be executed repetitively anytime. What Should You Test Manually vs. Automatically? Any startup dipping into automated testing must first figure out which test cases to automate. As a rule of thumb, if you want to maximize test automation, you should generally automate these: Tests vulnerable to human error Tests that are repetitive and monotonous Extensive tests necessitating many data sets Time-consuming tests Business-critical or high-risk tests that must be completed consistently Tests that must be performed on multiple hardware or software platforms More specifically, these are better left automated to save time and effort: Regression tests: These are extensive, recurring, and dependent on the same input variables. Data-driven tests: Many functional tests require testing using multiple divergent data sets to evaluate a range of positive and negative cases. Performance testing suites: Automated testing can be used to speed up system performance testing under varying conditions. API tests: Automated tests find flaws faster since they trigger API regressions whenever the API is modified. That said, some test cases are more effectively executed manually: Exploratory testing: Real users explore programs differently from standardized routines. Exploratory testing can't be automated since it requires human cognition. UX testing: Automated tools can't always capture intangibles like how people feel about a product, how likely they are to utilize it, and how aesthetically pleasing it is. Testing accessibility: This is best accomplished through manual testing, which examines the user's interaction with the process or application. You can augment this manual testing with application analytics tools that provide insights into how people use your application or device. How Would You Transition from Manual to Automated Testing? What about when your startup's software reaches a scale that makes manual testing impractical? Well, the transition isn't an on/off switch. You have to investigate tools early (and believe me, some organizations start this process far too late). The good news is you don't have to wait to get started on testing approaches that complement automation like static code analysis, which reviews code in programming without executing it. Many free alternatives are a great way to dip into automation until you adopt more advanced tools. You should generally consider these factors when switching to test automation: Design the right framework for your team Your test suite's effectiveness relies on your framework. The right framework depends on your programmers' skill set, your software development procedures, and nature of the software. For example, when Specsavers built out an extensive portfolio of in-house Java/web applications on Linux and Windows, they needed a GUI testing tool that required no scripting experience from staff. They chose an automated GUI testing tool that let them specify tests that needed performing by simply entering data into spreadsheets that could then drive GUI tests. Choose the right tools Think about future objectives when your startup scales up, not just current goals. Will the tool still exist in five years? Are new releases issued frequently? What does support look like? It might be tempting to pick low-code/no-code toolkits, aka "the easy tools." Many companies initially gravitate toward these tools because they're easy to learn, but some revert back within a year because they lack the flexibility and robustness to help them achieve sufficient coverage testing. And while lots of free, open source test automation tools exist, be cautious. While significant, they don't necessarily provide troubleshooting support, and should you need to comply with certification standards, these tools won't be compliant with regulations out of the box. Getting this wrong could result in a costly and lengthy time-to-market process for your product. Set manageable goals and a quick learning curve Moving from manual to automation isn't easy, so start with digestible objectives. Start with automating the most-used regression test suite or the longest and most tedious one. Identify and eliminate recurring bugs, then gradually improve automation to cover more testing areas. Measure the automated testing tool's performance When you start using an automated testing tool, measure its performance! You don't want to use a tool that doesn't meet your testing goals. You can begin by determining: How fast the turnaround time is for executing tests compared to before using the tool. Whether time spent developing test suites has shortened. What Quality Assurance Certifications Do I Need? Whether you're in a regulated industry (like safety-critical sectors, e.g., automotive, manufacturing, healthcare) or you want to demonstrate to customers that you meet industry standards and quality practices, there are several certifications you can earn. They're usually a great way to evaluate software vendors. ISO 9000: International standards for establishing and maintaining an adequate quality assurance (QA) system for businesses. To be ISO 9000 certified, an organization must be audited on its functions, products, services, and processes. Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level: Used to analyze the maturity of an organization's processes and provide recommendations for process improvement. TMMI: A five-level model that provides a framework to help companies assess the maturity of their testing processes and optimize them. Software testing can be daunting for a startup — after all, it's a critical factor in the market success of a product and all future products a company might release. But a good software quality assurance management strategy that follows best practices, with a strong focus on testing, can alleviate a lot of the stress and ensure on-time, repeated releases that meet and exceed your users' expectations. https://www.itprotoday.com/industry-perspectives/when-should-startup-test-software-manually

Saber Interactive, a division of Embracer Group, has confirmed that it has laid off employees at its New World Interactive studio, the developer of Insurgency: Sandstorm. Word of the layoffs first came as a rumor that New World Interactive was being closed outright, reported on Twitter by Nick Calandra of Second Wind. In a statement shared with PC Gamer, a Saber Interactive representative confirmed the layoffs but said the studio has not been closed. "Saber can confirm there have been restructuring changes involving our New World Interactive subsidiary," the rep said. "This reorganization has unfortunately resulted in layoffs at the studio. We are working to fill existing open roles within Saber with individuals affected by these changes wherever feasible and we will be providing severance packages to those employees impacted."Saber didn't indicate how many employees have been laid off as a result of the studio changes, but the rep said work on Insurgency: Sandstorm, New World's hit military shooter, and "unannounced future projects" will continue.The layoffs at New World Interactive are the latest in what has been a thoroughly catastrophic year for Embracer Group and, more to the point, its employees. After a period of rapid growth that saw the company balloon into a legitimate gaming colossus—a stretch that included its acquisition of New World Interactive in 2020—the last-minute collapse of a $2 billion investment deal in May threw the company into a tailspin that's resulted in widespread layoffs and studio closures. In November, Embracer reported that it had cut roughly 5% of its global workforce, totalling approximately 900 employees; since then, it's laid off 50 more employees from Chorus developer Fishlabs along with the unknown number from New World Interactive, and is reportedly looking at closing Free Radical Design, the studio it resurrected in 2021 to make a new TimeSplitters game. But it's not just Embracer: The videogame industry as a whole has suffered a virtually unprecedented number of layoffs in 2023, impacting small studios and large tech companies alike. The most recent example occurred just yesterday, when Electronic Arts announced layoffs at F1 developer Codemasters "to meet evolving business needs and priorities." https://www.pcgamer.com/the-embracer-spiral-continues-as-insurgency-sandstorm-studio-new-world-interactive-lays-off-employees/

Everyone talks about the power of networking. We do it too – LEAP is the most attended tech event in the world, and we’ve witnessed firsthand the way that networking at a conference like this can transform business development and help tech companies and entrepreneurs achieve their loftiest goals. But what are the benefits of networking for C-suite leaders in tech? You’re busy, you’re under pressure, and every minute in your day is accounted for. Is it worth making time in your diary to grow your (probably already extensive) network and build relationships with new industry experts? Here’s our take on the benefits of networking for you. Because attending a conference isn’t just for excitement and inspiration (although there’s a lot of that, too). Expand and diversify your professional network To start with an obvious one: you’ll expand your professional network. But this isn’t just about having a coffee with fellow C-suites – at LEAP, you can build out your network to include industry experts and emerging talent both within your sector and more broadly across the tech industry. The reason this is so important is that, as you well know, the tech industry is evolving at a rapid pace. If your network is primarily po[CENSORED]ted with other professionals at the same stage in their careers as you, then you’re missing out on new ideas and the early signs of future trends that can only be discovered when you network with cross-sector professionals with different specialisms, different experiences, and different goals. Develop your own personal branding Tech company leaders often attend conferences on behalf of their companies. They’re focused on building partnerships and acquiring talent for those organisations. But we want to ask you a personal question: what about you? Increasingly, building your own personal brand is a route towards long-term career stability. Your position as a C-suite leader forms a part of your own platform for building your visibility as a thought leader in your sector. You can leverage your role to develop your future prospects and create a career that’s really fulfilling and exciting for you. And networking is a huge part of that. As well as making yourself known in the industry, it also allows you to build meaningful working relationships with potential future partners, mentors, or collaborators. Gain actionable knowledge and the guidance of experienced peers Leadership brings its own burdens. You’re responsible for a business and for the people who work for you, as well as having a responsibility towards your customers or users. The pressure and stress of that can’t be underestimated, and having a network of peers and mentors is essential to provide candid advice, real-life lessons, and keep you on track during challenging periods. Different professional relationships offer different things – from skills development to opening doors, assisting with effective decision-making. A healthy, robust network changes as your career develops, with some people dropping out of your circle and others coming in. It’s important that you’re always seeking out new ideas and alternative perspectives to make sure you don’t get stuck in one mindset or on one trajectory. So networking is central to maintain the health of your network and make sure it’s full of the people you need at the stage you’re at right now. You can’t have a strong network if you don’t meet new and diverse industry colleagues. A network development exercise for you We know – we don’t often do this. But here’s a quick network development exercise for you to do right now. Open up your note-making app of choice on your device, and write down: Three people you’ve had in your network for more than two years, and the value they currently bring to your career. Three people you’ve added to your network within the last year, and the value you expect they will add to your career if you continue to develop your relationship with them. Three gaps in your network – whether they’re experts in certain technological specialisms or business areas; people in different but relevant sectors; or mentorship/mentee gaps that you’re keen to fill. We recommend you update these three lists at least once every year. Keep your network alive – and it’ll help you create a vibrant and fulfilling career. https://www.insights.onegiantleap.com/blogs/why-is-networking-so-important-for-c-suite-leaders-in-tech/

As ransomware attacks continue to plague local government entities — Bexar County Appraisal District was the latest victim — hackers’ methods and organizations have become more sophisticated. At least one hacker group identified by the FBI appears to have an HR department, performance reviews and an “employee of the month.” Professionals simulated these complex, highly targeted attacks this week at a student competition in San Antonio, sponsored by Raytheon Technologies as a way to train and recruit the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. The finals of the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, held at the Hyatt Regency Hill County Resort and Spa from Thursday to Saturday, saw 10 teams from 10 schools across the country play defense against coordinated cyberattacks. More than 150 other teams had already been eliminated before this week.The competition is the largest of its kind in the country, organizers said. Students on the teams played the roles of cybersecurity professionals protecting a business under active attack from intruders. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, real cybersecurity professionals acted the part of the hackers, seeking to disrupt and shut down system after system: emails, cloud-based servers, internal data and even the help desk. Points were awarded to teams who repelled the attacks and restored their systems as quickly as possible. Inside the University of Texas at Austin’s team room, sophomore Rishabh Ahlawat worked furiously to configure a firewall that would protect the Longhorns’ cloud servers and even alert them to new intruders. The teams’ computers sprawled across the desks showed blue screens and massive walls of coding text. “It’s stressful, but it’s a fun kind of stressful,” Ahlawat said. The team lost points every minute a product server remained down. His lunch sat untouched in its paper bag. Ahlawat said when he first came to college, he didn’t envision a future in cybersecurity. But competitions like this one have convinced him to enter the field when he graduates.His story illustrates a powerful reason why Raytheon Technologies, one of the largest intelligence contractors and defense manufacturers in the world by revenue, has sponsored the annual competition, now in its 17th year. Two dozen or so professionals from the company helped run the event, acting as performance assessors, and roleplaying as hackers and customers. “This is what you don’t get in classrooms,” said Jon Check, senior director of Cyber Protection Solutions for Raytheon Intelligence & Space, a Raytheon subsidiary. He said the competition provides a way for students to hone their skills and see how the concepts they study apply to the real world. Of course in real life, cybersecurity more frequently takes the form of pre-emptive defense and recovery, rather than the intensive and condensed exercises experienced by these students. But cases like it do still happen. Ransomware attacks have risen for years in Texas, as they have across the country. In Texas, there were a just under just under 300 ransomware attacks in 2021, up nearly a third from 2020, according to FBI cybercrime statistics. In 2016 the FBI recorded 37 attacks of this kind in the state. In Bexar County, hackers last year launched a ransomware attack on Judson Independent School District, for which the district paid more than $500,000 to recover sensitive data. In March, the Bexar County Appraisal District found itself the target of an attack, though IT professionals detected the infiltration before it progressed through the entire network. A spokesman for the county department said critical systems were restored within days, and as of this week the restoration of all affected systems were “99% complete.” Assistant Chief Appraiser Scott Griscom said he could not say how attackers broke into the system, given that final findings of the investigation are not complete, but initial suspicions that it came through email have been disproven. Efforts are growing to counter these attacks. The White House recently signed legislation that will require a wide range of public and private entities affiliated with critical infrastructure to publicly disclose details about cyberattacks, including whether the organization paid a ransom. “That’s a big deal,” Check said, as historically many companies have chosen to simply hide it. For instance, Equifax, a consumer credit reporting agency, waited weeks before telling its 143 affected customers that their private data may be on the loose. Check said disclosing the hack helps law enforcement identify repeat attackers, puts other organizations on alert, and helps cybersecurity professionals know what kind of attacks to look out for. Elias Bou-Harb, director of UTSA’s Cyber Center for Security and Analytics, said one reason ransomware attacks are on the rise is because the infrastructure to launch them has gotten more accessible. He said there are now illicit service providers that sell off-the-shelf tools for launching ransomware attacks, so hackers no longer need to have as much technical expertise. Some of these tools-for-hire even sweep the internet to look for vulnerable systems. “The threat landscape is crazy. We’re in a cyber war,” Bou-Harb said. While cyberattacks grow increasingly sophisticated, there are ways to lower the risk of attack, experts say, for both individuals and organizations. It’s important to back up systems, (making sure those backups actually function, Bou-harb says), avoid reusing passwords (the jury is still out about writing down passwords), and be careful what you click on in emails. And to avoid encouraging future attacks, entities and individuals shouldn’t pay ransoms. “If you pay once, you’re probably opening a door on yourself,” Bou-Harb said. https://sanantonioreport.org/college-cybersecurity-contest-ransomware/
