 Write 200 to 300 words describing file-less malware and what unique considerations it brings to application security. 

 Last week we discussed “seven hats” so why are we discussing “eight hats” this week.  As our concepts and theories evolve, we adapt our assessments to fit the new model. Kirk’s (2012) “eight hats of data visualization design” was influenced by Edward de Bono’s six thinking hats.  However, last week we discussed “seven hats.” What changed from Kirk’s 2012 book to his 2016 book? This week we will discuss the similarities and differences of Kirk’s (2012, 2016) hats 

IT213-4: Apply the debugging process and testing process to programs containing fundamental concepts such as decision statements, iteration, functions and arrays.

GEL-7.02: Apply ethical reasoning to ethical issues within the field of Information Technology.

Purpose

In this assignment, you will be addressing what is entailed in each of the testing levels that will occur in a professional software development environment. You will also consider an ethical dilemma as it relates to software testing and share from your personal experience, perspective, readings and research.

Assignment Instructions

Write a 4–6 page paper addressing the following:

• Define the following four levels of testing for software development: 1) unit testing, 2) integration testing, 3) systems testing, and acceptance testing.
• Explain the purpose of each testing level, and provide your reasoning for why it is important that each level of testing is performed for any software development project.
• Describe how the four testing levels are related to one another.
• Additionally, conclude your paper by addressing the following ethical dilemma providing your perspective on how to approach this decision:

There is a “first to market at all costs” culture that exists at some well-known corporations today. They would rather send out a “buggy” product if it meant being first. There have been many inferior products to rise to the top simply because they took the biggest chunk of the market share before anyone else. If you worked for a major software corporation as a software developer and were assigned a role on a project, what would you do if your manager pushed to rush a product to market without sufficient debugging and testing. What are the ethical implications of delivering a quality product versus meeting a deadline? How would you approach this decision?

Be sure to cite your sources in this paper and use correct APA format.

Systems planning involves preparing for implementation. Two key elements of an implementation plan are to identify the stakeholders and create the change control process. Conduct a web search on these two key elements. In your post, ensure you:

• Share your newly gained knowledge of stakeholders and the change control process.
• Discuss which users play key roles in the implementation plan. Which users are most important to the success of the implementation? Why?
• Discuss how this would help you in creating an implantation plan.

Do a bit of research on-line. Find a criminal case that involved Digital Forensics. 

Using WORD, write an ORIGINAL brief essay of 300 words or more describing the case and the how digital forensics were used  in the investigation.

• Bibliography (An annotated bibliography of at least five sources. The annotations must be at least five sentences long)

DESCRIPTION:

In order to avoid precise identification and commit serious crimes in other nations where they cannot be punished, cybercriminals always use secure software to stay anonymous, which is proxy servers that mask their location and channel their messages via several countries. They use a mix of conventional investigative and complex digital forensics techniques in addition to these collaborations.

Also as A IT professional I see a lot of hackers attempting to intrude external data into my businesses, my interest in taking this project has struck my mind to include digital forensics that can identify and solve this problem.

Digital forensics plays a significant role in preventing cyber – crime in the areas of information networks. In fact, digital forensics is a particular branch of forensic science dealing with the examination and restoration of substances retrieved from electronic device forms, and these devices are linked to crime in most cases. In order to ensure the reliability of network equipment for computer networks, digital forensics plays a significant role. A study based by a start-up company located in Luton has been demonstrated in this field. It was successfully assessed from the case that digital forensics is very helpful in digital crime investigation (Seigfried-Spellar, K. C, 2017). Digital forensics has played a significant role in the resolution of numerous criminal cases, including murder, abuse, smuggling, and many more. Digital forensics has also been analyzed from an overall viewpoint as relevant for law enforcement and plays a significant role in resolving various crimes.
