The AI vs. ML Dilemma

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are two terms that are used interchangeably all the time. So, are AI and ML the same? Most definitely not!

Any technology that makes a system exhibit human-like intelligence is AI. Machine Learning is actually one type of AI. Machine Learning makes decisions by relying on the use of mathematical models that are trained on data. ML models are capable of making better decisions when more data is available.

For the last seven years of my career, I have been living the Agile methodology.  Needless to say, participating in the periodic ceremonies have become commonplace for me.  

Following the example I created when my 100th article on DZone was published on April 5, 2017, my 200th article for DZone will be a retrospective of my last 99 articles – spanning from April 13, 2017 through August 24, 2017.  I plan to cover what fared well with DZone readers and what failed to connect to the same audience.

Along with AI, IoT is changing the expectations of consumers. With that, this growing technology will forever change the way that businesses operate. The initial uptake of interconnected smart devices was slower than anticipated. But, the demand for the technology is now developing at a rapid pace. That demand will implement new pressures on businesses. It will also provide businesses with new opportunities. Here are some of the ways that the Internet of Things will impact business.

What Is the Internet of Things?

The simple definition of the Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of devices over the Internet. It allows devices to communicate with us, with applications, and with other devices. The technology has been demonstrated with the advent of smart home appliances. It’s the Internet of Things that now allows us to control our home heating, lighting, sprinklers, and other appliances from our phones with solutions like Apple’s HomeKit.

Recently I was teaching an overview class for new Scrum Masters. I was covering the five important events (meetings) in Scrum and had just introduced the Daily Standup Meeting (DSM), when a learner interrupted with the following question: “Given the cost to people’s work time and the cost to the corporation, do Scrum teams generally feel there is value in the Daily Standup Meeting?” He followed with, “How do you feel about the Daily Standup Meeting?”

A study was conducted at the University of Oslo Norway (V. Stray et al, 1997) to answer the first question. The method of study was a survey of professional software developers. Those conducting the survey received 221 responses from professionals who identified either as a general computer programmer or a web developer. Participation was voluntary, no compensation was given, and controls were placed to prevent the same respondent from answering more than once.

Why This Topic?

What can we do to prepare organizational culture for Agile transformation? In one of the brainstorming sessions, this idea was coined and we started elaborating it.

This thought came in a conversion with a couple of leaders where they are asking how we can rapidly do something to can change the organizational culture, the DNA of the people.

Learning a programming language is just one piece of a big puzzle in becoming a software developer. Companies want to hire a complete developer and assume you know the entire software development process.

I wanted to simplify the learning process and how to become the most hire-able software developer. I have broken this into 4 parts, as below:

We keep hearing about new solutions for test automation and continuous testing. Such solutions aim to increase the test automation authoring as well as the maintenance associated with these tests as the product evolves.

With this trend, many software quality engineers, SDET, and test automation architects are asking themselves whether their job is at risk and what the future holds for them.
