While most of the elite Flat riders are either enjoying some rare downtime during the winter, or plying their trade on foreign soil, Murphy will take up a new challenge in Dorset.The 28-year-old is fresh from enjoying another successful campaign on the level, which yielded six Group One winners, including Classic success aboard Mawj in the QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in May. The 28-year-old is fresh from enjoying another successful campaign on the level, which yielded six Group One winners, including Classic success aboard Mawj in the QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in May. His mount on Thursday is the Cian Collins-trained Irish raider Lets Do This, who will contest the Danny McNab Bookmakers "National Hunt" Novices' Handicap Hurdle.Explaining his decision, the Killarney-born jockey said: "My uncle is Jim Culloty, who rode winners of the Cheltenham Gold Cup (Best Mate), Grand National (Bindaree) and Irish Grand National (Timbera) and also trained a winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup (Lord Windermere). "I worked with him in my teens, so jumps racing has always been part of my life and it has always been a burning ambition of mine to ride in a jumps race."I took out a jumps licence earlier in the year, as at one stage it looked like I might get a ride in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. "The programme of Flat racing means it is unlikely that I will be able to ride over hurdles often, but this opportunity arose as I know the trainer and owner of Lets Do This well. It is only a fairly low-grade handicap hurdle on Thursday, so it seemed like a good place to start. "I have been schooling horses to prepare, though have not yet ridden Lets Do This." Murphy is set to be well supported at Wincanton, adding: "Jim might be coming along to see me ride and my friend Denis O'Regan, who recently retired, might be travelling over from Ireland. "I'll be walking the course when I get to Wincanton to see what it's like and will try and seek the advice of the jump jockeys riding there. I am really looking forward to the challenge."Several leading Flat jockeys have enjoyed success under both codes, perhaps most notably the late, great Lester Piggott, who partnered 20 winners over hurdles, including the 1954 Triumph Hurdle hero Prince Charlemagne. More recently, the likes of Richard Hughes, Jamie Spencer and Tom Queally have combined the two disciplines and Murphy hopes to add his name to the list. He said: "It would be an amazing feeling to get a winner over jumps and I'm not looking beyond Thursday at the moment - I just hope I don't embarrass myself!" https://www.skysports.com/racing/news/12040/13023318/oisin-murphy-multiple-champion-flat-jockey-set-for-hurdles-debut-on-thursday-at-wincanton

ISLAMABAD — Pakistani officials said Tuesday that the United States did not object to Islamabad’s deportation of Afghan nationals who are illegally residing in the country but requested the process be slowed down during winter. The crackdown on undocumented foreigners, including 1.7 million Afghans, came under discussion at a meeting with a visiting U.S. delegation led by Julieta Valls Noyes, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Po[CENSORED]tion, Refugees and Migration. A Pakistani official privy to the talks said that the U.S. side sought to prevent the deportation of around 25,000 “vulnerable” individuals who fled the Taliban’s August 2021 takeover in neighboring Afghanistan and could be eligible for relocation to or resettlement in the United States. “The government of Pakistan doesn't want to deport any vulnerable Afghan, irrespective of whether someone appears on the U.S. prospective resettlement list or any other country,” the official told VOA on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to share details of the talks publicly. “Pakistan is concerned over the lengthy resettlement process the U.S. has adopted,” he said. “One thing is clear: The U.S. didn't oppose Pakistan’s deportation policy. It, however, pleaded for going slow during the harsh winters,” the Pakistani official told VOA. VOA reached out to the State Department to seek a response to Pakistani assertions that Washington is not opposed to the deportations of Afghans but did not get a response immediately. Neither Pakistani nor U.S. officials formally released details of the meeting Noyes held with Asif Durrani, Pakistan’s special representative on Afghanistan. “Good to visit Pakistani Foreign Ministry and see Special Representative for Afghanistan @AsifDurrani20 again today for discussion on Afghan refugees, protection, and resettlement,” Noyes said on X, formerly known as Twitter. Durrani also shared a few details about his talks with the U.S. delegation on his X social media platform. “We discussed issues concerning Afghan refugees and their resettlement,” he said.A pre-visit U.S. State Department statement said that during her four-day visit, Noyes would meet with government officials and nongovernmental and international organization partners to “discuss shared efforts to protect vulnerable individuals and accelerate safe, efficient relocation and resettlement of Afghan refugees in the U.S. immigration pipelines.” Official data shows that Pakistan’s deportation drive has forced more than 400,000 people to return to Afghanistan since mid-September. The United Nations and global human rights groups have criticized the crackdown and urged Islamabad to urgently halt it, noting that Afghanistan suffers from a dire humanitarian crisis stemming from years of war and natural disasters. Pakistani authorities defend the deportation drive, linking a recent surge in deadly, nationwide terrorist attacks to the undocumented Afghan po[CENSORED]tion. In a separate statement on X, Noyes said she held an “important conversation” with representatives of the U.N. refugee agency in Islamabad and discussed “our shared commitment to support vulnerable Afghans in Pakistan." American and NATO troops withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021 when the then-insurgent Taliban seized power from a Washington-backed government in Kabul. They also evacuated tens of thousands of Afghans who worked with the international military mission during its two-decades-long presence in the country, fearing they would face Taliban reprisals. Pakistan’s otherwise close relations with the Taliban government have come under severe strain over the deportation drive. De facto Afghan authorities have denounced the policy as unjust and inhumane, saying it has ended the goodwill the neighboring country earned for hosting millions of refugees from conflict-torn Afghanistan over the past four decades. The Pakistani government says the country still hosts more than 2.2 million documented Afghans, including 1.4 million legal refugees. They are not the subjects of the ongoing crackdown. https://www.voanews.com/a/pakistan-official-us-did-not-oppose-deportation-of-afghans-in-country-illegally/7385320.html

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/
