    Hi everyone! Welcome to the class NodeBB forum. This instance will serve as a demo for students to interact with, and use as a basis for thinking about improvements and enhancements in class assignments.

    To get more familiar with the forum, please create an account and then make a post in the Introductions category (which is only visible to signed-in users). Tell us something about yourself, like why you're taking this class and what you like outside of school/work. Also reply to someone else's introduction post; perhaps you might find someone who has common interests!

    Also feel free to make posts in other categories such as SE discussions or Memes. You will notice that this particular category is restricted to instructors; students cannot create Announcements.

    I'm sure many of you followed the news about the Crowdstrike incident that crippled businesses across the world. Airlines were particularly hard hit, with tons of flights being grounded and the after-effects rippling through for days.

    Crowdstrike released an incident report, but to me it appears quite uninformative. Interestingly, in this class we will be discussing many of the things that they think they should be doing in the future.

    Excerpt from the Crowdstrike Incident Report: "How Do We Prevent This From Happening Again?
Software Resiliency and Testing.
Improve Rapid Response Content testing by using testing types such as:
Local developer testing, Content update and rollback testing, Stress testing, fuzzing and fault injection, Stability testing, Content interface testing

    ACM's U.S. Technology Policy Committee just released a statement this week about this incident as well: https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/public-policy/ustpc-statement-on-crowdstrike-incident.pdf
