Precious Publishing Academy hosted eight monthly poetry workshops in the Fall of 2022 and Spring of 2023. Each session was a celebration of words, weaving magic around special events and holidays, from the heartfelt verses of "A Labor of Love" (September 3) to the vivid imagery of "Showers & Flowers" (May 6). Participants, ranging from budding poets to seasoned versifiers, shared their souls through poems resonating with these themes. Poems of the Moment is a collection of poetry and a tapestry of emotions, capturing these unique moments in time. As one participant eloquently said, "These workshops were not just about writing poems; they were about living them."

Smartphone users have come to expect high-quality apps. This has increased the importance of software testing in mobile software development. Unfortunately, testing apps-particularly the GUI-can be very time-consuming. Exercising every user interface element and verifying transitions between different views of the app under test quickly becomes problematic. For example, execution of iOS GUI test suites using Apple's UI Automation framework can take an hour or more if the app's interface is complicated. The longer it takes to run a test, the less frequently the test can be run, which in turn reduces software quality. This book describes how to accelerate the testing process for iOS apps using HadoopUnit, a distributed test execution environment that leverages the parallelism inherent in the Hadoop platform. HadoopUnit was previously used to run unit and system tests in the cloud. It has been modified to perform GUI testing of iOS apps on a small-scale cluster-a modest computing infrastructure available to almost every developer. Experimental results have shown that distributed test execution with HadoopUnit can significantly outperform the test execution on a single machine, even if the size of the cluster used for the execution is as small as two nodes. This means that the approach described in this book could be adopted without a huge investment in IT resources. HadoopUnit is a cost-effective solution for reducing lengthy test execution times of system-level GUI testing of iOS apps.

With software testing continuing to be an important part of the software engineering life cycle, the emergence of software testing in the cloud has the potential to change the way software testing is performed. This is a comprehensive collection of research by leading experts in the field providing an overview of cloud computing and current issues in software testing and system migration.
