 Abstract

A method for guaranteeing the high standard of software as a whole is quality assurance. Software products utilised for data analytics are distinct from more conventional ones, requiring a particular set of skills and more time for quality assurance. The development and implementation of several big data application systems across different fields have been prompted by the rapid expansion of the big data technology industry, which is now seeing a compound annual growth rate of 27%. The 4Vs of big data are volume, velocity, variety, and veracity, and these systems use a wide array of platforms, tools, and procedures to gather, process, analyse, and forecast this data. However, ensuring the quality of these systems poses significant challenges due to a complexity and scale of a data involved. This paper offers a thorough overview of quality assurance (QA) concepts and components for big data systems, focussing on important criteria including timeliness, consistency, credibility, and accessibility. Validation techniques such as classification-based testing, program-based testing, and metamorphic testing are presented, and the article goes on to talk about the special QA problems caused by the varied and ever-changing nature of big data. Through a systematic literature review, this study synthesises existing QA technologies and their strengths and limitations, offering insights into the current state of QA in big data applications and identifying areas for future research and improvement.

 Abstract

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, video streaming has become a dominant form of content consumption, transcending traditional media boundaries. However, ensuring high-quality video streaming experiences across a multitude of devices presents a significant challenge. The diversity in screen sizes, processing capabilities, network conditions, and user environments necessitates a robust testing strategy that can accommodate the complexities of multi-device usage. This paper explores the critical role of multi-device testing in enhancing video streaming quality, providing an in-depth analysis of the methodologies, tools, and practices that can be employed to achieve optimal results. Multi-device testing is an essential component in the video streaming quality assurance process, as it ensures that content is delivered consistently across various devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. The proliferation of these devices, each with its unique hardware and software configurations, requires a testing framework that can simulate real-world scenarios. By leveraging multi-device testing, streaming platforms can identify and mitigate potential issues related to buffering, latency, resolution scaling, and playback performance, thereby enhancing the overall user experience. The paper discusses the implementation of automated testing tools that can emulate different device environments and network conditions. These tools are crucial for executing comprehensive test cases that cover a wide range of variables, such as bitrate adaptation, codec compatibility, and content protection mechanisms. Additionally, the integration of AI-driven analytics in the testing process is highlighted as a key advancement. AI can analyze vast amounts of data generated during testing to detect patterns and predict potential quality issues, allowing for proactive adjustments to be made before the content reaches the end user. Moreover, the study emphasizes the importance of continuous testing throughout the development lifecycle of streaming applications. Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines are recommended to ensure that each update or new feature does not degrade the streaming quality across devices. This approach aligns with the agile development practices, enabling faster iterations and more reliable product releases. The paper also addresses the challenges of multi-device testing, such as the need for extensive device libraries, the complexity of setting up and maintaining test environments, and the resource-intensive nature of executing large-scale tests. To overcome these challenges, the adoption of cloud-based testing platforms is proposed, offering scalability and flexibility. These platforms provide access to a wide range of virtual devices and network conditions, reducing the need for physical hardware and simplifying the testing process. In conclusion, enhancing video streaming quality through multi-device testing is a multifaceted endeavor that requires a combination of advanced tools, strategic planning, and continuous optimization. By embracing multi-device testing as a core aspect of their quality assurance strategy, streaming platforms can ensure a seamless viewing experience for users, regardless of the device they choose to use.

 Abstract

In the modern age multistorey buildings are in trend especially in the developed countries or in metro cities etc. Exiguousness of residential land and construction cost saving is the another reason of multistorey buildings. These buildings have advance security features which is based on automated devices like fire alert system, CCTV cameras, elevators etc. large number of persons live and working in these flats/offices. It is very difficult to know the exact number of persons in a particular building. It has been observed that many times citizens are found dead in their flats and about this even Neighbors are totally unaware about the same. The available solution of this problem is CCTV cameras but sometime cameras may consider as interferer in the privacy and it cannot be implement in some specific locations. Secondly camera can record the videos and capture the images but not able to count the number of citizen in a building at a particular time. Manual entry registers are also not the solution of this problem as it is very difficult to maintain and trace the record. In case of any natural calamity happened like earthquake as happened in Turkey, terrorist attack then no data is available how many people are exists in the building at a particular time and what is their last location in the building. The proposed system provides the solution of this existing problem. System will work in the fully automated mode and can provide the information 24x7 with the exact location and time stamp. It can be implemented in jails, hostels, rehabilitation, army areas, Hospitals, COVID centers etc. System will maintain the records of the citizens movements with in the rooms and floors. When there is no movement detected for a long time, alert will be generated by the system with the help of alert unit. Proposed system is a fully automatic system which is based on sensors. System is distributed into three units sensing, counting and display unit. Sensing unit detect the human presence inside a flat / floor. Second unit is counting unit which will count the exact number of persons exists and the third unit will work as display which will show the exact number of persons inside a room along with their last location. Thus system can work as a lift saving security system.
