#Software Testing Services for Travel

[mariacallous]

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has started rolling out digital infrastructure for a new golden visa immigration program, according to sources familiar with the matter, public records, and tests conducted by WIRED. The White House has yet to formally announce the initiative, but some US permanent residents and foreign visitors are already being asked if they have applied for a “Trump Card Visa.”

President Donald Trump first floated the idea of creating a $5 million golden visa in February, describing it as a way for wealthy individuals to buy residency in the United States and a pathway to becoming US citizens. How this would work is unclear: Federal law dictates how many permanent residency cards can be issued each year and who can get them, and experts say Congress would need to pass new legislation to raise the cap or change eligibility rules.

DOGE’s involvement in the visa project shows how quickly Musk and his team have expanded their purview. Trump’s initial executive order creating DOGE tasked the group with boosting government productivity by "modernizing federal technology and software.” Less than four months later, DOGE appears to be playing a central role in shaping the American immigration system.

Representatives from DOGE have spent the past several weeks coordinating on the golden visa program with officials from Customs and Border Protection (CBP), US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the State Department, and other agencies, according to sources with knowledge of the meetings. On Musk’s side, the project is being overseen by two high-profile DOGE associates, Marko Elez and Edward Coristine.

One focus area for Musk’s team has been figuring out how to plug current US government systems for verifying travelers and processing immigration applications into what may eventually become a stand-alone website designed specifically for the Trump Card Visa. In late March, DOGE registered the domain trumpcard.gov, according to public records published by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Tests conducted by WIRED show the website has subdomains corresponding to a number of federal agencies and systems, including CBP, the State Department, and the USCIS Electronic Immigration System, the main portal for processing visa paperwork. The subdomains indicate that trumpcard.gov has been connected to digital infrastructure across multiple parts of the federal government.

A reference to the Trump Card Visa has also been added in the live application form for Global Entry, a program run by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that allows preapproved US citizens, green card holders, and travelers from certain countries to enter the US through a fast lane, saving them time at the airport. People who apply for Global Entry with a foreign passport are currently given the option to select if they have “submitted an application for a Trump Card Visa,” tests by WIRED show.

WIRED confirmed that citizens of China, Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, and many other countries are eligible to select the Trump Card Visa option in their Global Entry applications. It appears that only Canadian nationals are excluded; they are directed instead to the existing NEXUS program for prescreened travelers from the US and Canada to speed through customs processing.

During a podcast appearance in March, Trump’s commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, claimed he had already sold 1,000 gold cards. He noted that Trump had estimated they could sell 1 million overall. The idea, Lutnick told the hosts of the All In show, was to allow people to purchase the right to live in the United States and pay taxes only on their income earned in the country.

One of the hosts, Chamath Palihapitiya, relayed a conversation he said he had with Musk about the project: “One of the most difficult parts of it, is, it turns out, all of the CPB infrastructure to do all these checks, it’s like a lot of COBOL mainframes and the amount of technology that has to get rewritten.”

The White House hasn’t clarified whether it believes current immigration law provides the president statutory authority for creating the Trump Card Visa. “It’s not clear what the legal basis is, unless they do something such as have Congress pass a bill through both houses and the president signs it, which is called legislation,” says Stuart Anderson, executive director of the National Foundation for American Policy, a nonpartisan think tank focused on trade and immigration issues.

The current system for issuing permanent residency cards, known as green cards, is governed by laws such as the Immigration Act of 1990, which outline in detail who is eligible to receive green cards and in what numbers. A key aspect of the regulation is that no more than 7 percent of green cards can be given annually to immigrants from any single country.Got a Tip?Are you a current or former government employee who wants to talk about what's happening? We'd like to hear from you. Using a nonwork phone or computer, contact the reporters securely on Signal at louise_matsakis.83 and zoeschiffer.87.

The per-country cap has led to a long backlog for immigrants from countries like India, some of whom have already been waiting for over a decade to receive a green card. The Trump administration hasn’t said whether it intends to permit Trump Card Visa holders to skip this line and receive permanent residency in the US on an accelerated timeline.

The US government has the capacity to dole out roughly 1.1 million permanent resident cards in the current fiscal year, which are divided into categories for family members, workers with advanced skills, and other groups based on precise rules.

Lutnick originally proposed Trump’s gold card as a replacement for one of these categories, known as the EB-5 investor visa, which is perhaps the closest thing the United States currently has to a golden visa.

Created by Congress in 1990, the program currently allows roughly 10,000 foreigners to obtain a green card each year by making a $1.05 million investment in the United States (or $800,000 in rural areas and regions plagued by high unemployment), supporting at least 10 full-time jobs.

When the program was initially crafted, experts say, lawmakers went to great lengths to ensure it wasn’t seen as a pathway for corrupt oligarchs to unfairly buy their way into the United States. Part of that effort was ensuring immigration authorities carefully assess each EB-5 application to verify the investment funds aren’t coming from illegal or unsavory sources.

"There’s a whole unit in USCIS filled with economists and national security experts” who review EB-5 applications, says Doug Rand, a former senior adviser at USCIS under the Biden administration. During his time in the government, Rand says, there was so much paperwork associated with EB-5 petitions that the towering stacks of files caused the floor inside USCIS headquarters to sag.

It’s not clear if this same level of scrutiny will be applied to the gold card program. When asked during the February briefing whether a Russian oligarch would be eligible, Trump said “yeah, possibly, hey I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people.”

Advocates for the existing EB-5 program say it has mostly been used by ordinary immigrants who saved for years to invest in American real estate developments and other enterprises, and expect to make their money back one day. In other words, it’s not a group of people who can typically afford to pay $5 million for a gold card and never see those funds again.

“Most people who are trying to take advantage of the EB-5 program as a pathway to a green card and citizenship do not have that type of money,” says Brad Sher, chief executive of EB5 Group, an investment firm that specializes in raising money for EB5 real estate projects. “They are mostly working-class people who work hard to save their money, and they're often using a majority of their savings to come up with the investment amounts to take advantage of EB-5.” (Sher adds that he is supportive of Trump’s Gold Card, though he hopes it can coexist alongside the EB-5 visa).

During the initial Oval Office briefing on February 25, Lutnick said the gold card initiative would be launching in about two weeks. During his podcast interview, which came out a month later on March 20, he also claimed the project was right around the corner. “About two weeks from today it goes out,” Lutnick said, slicing his hand through the air for emphasis. Whether it’s actually ready and, if so, when it will be announced, remain unknown.

Hey do you have any cool personal worldbuilding detail hcs for the Uglies world? (Whether it’s about Tally’s city, any of the groups like the specials, Uglies, pretties, etc. that you would like to share? I’m really into the books myself and I’ve always wondered how the worldbuilding could be enhanced with just cool details that make it feel more lived in and well thought-out.

For me that is unusually difficult, since the worldbuilding in the books is already so densely packed and some of the best I've ever seen. I also love, and this is something Scott Westerfeld does in his other books too, how the characters feel truly shaped by this world, not like people from our time transplanted in the future.

So it is more some small detail stuff instead of filling in big gaps, but:

Before the movie came out, I had the headcanon that Uglies would not shave at all except for facial hair. Why should they? They're ugly anyway, why the effort? And I am a bit frustrated that the movie didn't actually went to that logical conclusion, but also, you can't turn off patriarchy and Hollywood beauty standards to make one movie more striking, and it would probably have been massively uncomfortable for the actresses, given how often women would get harassed just for having leg hair or something. But even now I still headcanon that it's relatively unusual to expect Uglies to shave, and that this is something Tally does is a sign of just how much of an hardliner Seatac aka the City is. Tally is flabbergasted as she learns about this after traveling around post-canon.

Despite being such a highly technological society, most people end up going into the trades as the New Pretty phase ends at 22, and only twenty or so percent end up in university. Who ends up where is mostly determined by aptitude tests, though it is possible to choose to some degree.

Something that is kind of marginally shown in the Impostors series: They have pretty much the same beauty standards as our culture, but they have vastly different ideas about gender, which also slightly vary between cities. Basically no different expectations between genders for character, life trajectory and skillset, except for behavior at balls or superficial m/f romance things (bringing flowers etc) or something, clothing and body types, and even for that it is much more fluid than our culture. The outlines the morphological committee gives are kind of gendered in the sense that they group certain traits together like "if that person choose to have big boobs, they also need to have shoulders that aren't wider than this", but they are not completely binary, and it's perfectly possible to chose combinations of "contrasting" gendered traits as long as the morphological committee agrees that the person is pretty afterwards. So Dr. Cable looking pretty unambiguously binary female is perhaps not quite an outlier, but definitely more rare than today.

Everybody over sixteen (or eighteen in some other cities) has these lesions making them lesser creative, which means that not just art and media plays a lesser role than in our society, the fictional media they do have quite often tends to be the reboot of the reboot of the expanded story of a side characters from that sequels prequel.

Specials process things at a much faster rate than everybody else, which also means that what blurrs together to a video for everybody else is just a fast succession of pictures. Haven't decided yet if they have software to "accelerate" the amount of pictures, or if they, since they are cyborgs, can simply turn off seeing this fast for the duration of watching the video.

Darker one about the Specials: They aren't even really capable of comprehending this, given how they're surged to feel invincible, but they usually don't end up getting as old as every other citizen of the City. They usually are either killed in service, or their body randomly rapidly breaks down from the strain of all these modifications and superhuman efforts several years from the usual dying age.

Macabre and somewhat gorey: So they are skinning people for the surgery to then put on new, more flawless skin, right? Almost every time a new year of doctors sees the surgical tanks in action, at least one person in the group either ends up vomiting or nearly vomiting.

Since Seatac is near the former Canadian border, both Tally and Shay learned French in school. Shay is somewhat fluent, but Tally very much isn't. Good for Tally that she is a cyborg with a built in translator matrix.

The reason Maddy and Az could escape so well is that Special Circumstances was in somewhat of a cold war situation with Special Circumstances from Paz at that time, Paz wanted to alter the lesions by utilizing emotions more and Seatac thought that was too dangerous, and so focused on that instead of hunting them down. Dr. Cable realized what a massive problem they would end up becoming right from the beginning, but had been with Special Circumstances for barely a year at this point, as a medic, not a tactician, and so had not enough power to change anything about that yet.

Seatac has an antimissile system that is under control of Special Circumstances. It has never been used in the entire history of the city except around 180 years before Dr. Cable came into power, to shoot down a medium sized meteor headed for the suburbs, and mostly just exists because maintaining it is just as much effort as breaking it down.

While they clearly still have eurocentric beauty ideals, they don't have much of the other surface level rascism anymore, and they also don't have capitalism anymore, so every city is more or less the same level of wealthy, no matter where on Earth it is. This results in the media that becomes global phenomena more or less randomly coming from all over the world. In the time Tally and Shay were Uglies, this was an rather raunchy high fantasy movie trilogy from Hlotse (Lesotho). They were too young to watch it, but managed neverthless through semi-legal internet tricks. Shay ended up having Whatpatt erotica level realistic fantasies about the female warrior main characters, Tally just watched it with Peris in uncomfortable silence over the several minute long sex scenes.

People aren't registered by name or ID, but by their genetic code. That makes it, apart from surface level transphobia not existing anymore, quite easy to change ones name. Dr. Cable went through several names about as good as you'd imagine a elementary school girl to come up with before settling with "Nyah" entering the Ugly age phase.

On that note, something I expected the movie to debunk looking at the role listings on IMDB, but it never actually came up (I think the books work with this, but not hundred percent sure, would need to look up the scene where Tally sees her parents): Couples usually keep their last name, and eventual children inherent the last name of the parent with the same gender as them. Trans people, or people with parents who have the same gender can chose or combine both names. So "Youngblood" is Ellies, aka Tallys mothers, last name. Dr. Cable wasn't registered with her mothers last name "Cable", but choose to change it as she was old enough to understand that system. And a bittersweet consequence of this headcanon: David inherents Az last name, not Maddys, meaning he has this remembrance of him even after Az death.

That were all I came up with out of the top of my head, there's probably even more I used in fics or so.

How smart are you? You’ve given some hints before but how many degrees do you have? What are you studying? What do you want to do in live professionally and passionately? What’s your purpose career wise?

Also hypothetically would you be open to being your wives employee if she had a really successful company?

I actually don't have any degrees! I'm a nerd and smart but also certainly have my flaws.

For context, I was an honors student all growing up. Always tested in the 99th percentile for state aptitude assessments. I got a 33 on my ACT, did well on a bunch of AP tests and went to a non-ivy-league but prestiguous state school in the top 25% of the incoming class and as a university scholar, in an accelerated chemistry PhD program, and lived in an honors community on campus.

I learned to speak some Chinese, became an instructor for a traditional Korean percussion group, led a bible study, tutored students in organic chemistry, and did excellent in my humanities courses writing on topics like a linguistic study of gender conception in viking-era icelandic society and designing an interventional plan to address youth homelessness in the community.

College was the best 2 years of my life, I adored everything about it but I also completely overloaded myself. Turns out you need more than raw brains for success. I was conflicted between prioritizing my studies vs my faith, and had unadressed adhd and anxiety i wasnt ever aware of and didnt know how to cope with. When my 19 credit hours were drowning me, I couldnt own up to the shame of overwhelm and failure, couldnt look my teachers in the eye and ultimately stopped showing up to class and dropped out.

I'm now back in school with a better understanding of myself, an absense of competing priorities and a lot of experience. Im pursuing working in Radiology doing either CT or MRI. A lot of my friends growing up are finishing their PhD theses and I love discussing them with them, but I myself don't have even an associate's to my name.

Career wise, I originally wanted to be a professor of either Chemistry or Materials Science. I debated majoring in Linguistics or teaching English as a second language but i don't speak anything fluent enough to really do that yet. I've since considered pursuing a career in comedy, as a science communicator and journalist or PIO, as a university student advisor, and taught myself to code to maybe pursue programming.

I love learning. Currently I'm putting the most effort into Chinese classical literature. I've done personal units on nutrition, skincare, fitness, urban planning, economics, and some software like adobe illustrator and game dev with Unity and Godot.

For my professional future, I think I'm for now planning on being a travelling technician in healthcare. It'd give me an opportunity to see lots of different places which is a goal of mine and shouldn't have too many commitments keeping me held in place. Maybe I'll finally get over my fear of casual hookups and become a traveling nurse by day and city-to-city clit servicer by night sampling all sorts of delicious lady bits. Idk. For now I'm just focused on what I'm doing in the moment.

In terms of passions I want time and independence to pursue learning as an autodidact. I'd love to maintain access to university libraries and attend lots of public lectures and symposiums if i could live near enough a big university. I want to read about the things that interest me and someday get over my social anxiety and travel to make friends all over the world with fellow nerds.

In terms of working for my wife of course that would be really sexy I'd love to be my partners doting but slutty assistant 💕 depending on the industry i guess. I think something like insurance or real estate is kind of predatory tbh and wouldnt want to be associated with it. But if I didn't have an issue with it I'd adore being my partners employee. Or even just a supportive house husband or trusted personal assistant ❤️❤️ a role i've always thought I have the potential to be quite good at

COVID – 19 & ROBOTICS

Research

Robots in the Hospitality Industry

Part of the reason why robots have emerged as a popular technology trend within the hospitality industry is because ideas of automation and self-service are playing an increasingly vital role in the customer experience. The use of robots can lead to improvements in terms of speed, cost-effectiveness and even accuracy.

For example, chatbots allow a hotel or travel company to provide 24/7 support through online chat or instant messaging services, even when staff would be unavailable, delivering extremely swift response times. Meanwhile, a robot used during check-in can speed up the entire process, reducing congestion.

Final video

[rametarin]

I've thought about this issue a lot, and determined the only way healthcare costs are going to go down is if technocracy reduces the cost of medical exams.

So what we're going to need is to be able to pinpoint every conceivable test a doctor or specialist practicioner can possibly provide, from X-ray scans to eye exams to urine analysis and spit and blood, and make them some sort of infinitely repeatably, solid state, laser based scan system that can cost pennies per test.

And then find a way to make that equipment just a few thousand dollars.

This way you could look for everything from broken bones to kidney stones, immature masses of metastic cells and parasites, inside or out, spending a minimum amount of money to get your problem diagnosed in very short amounts of time, not clog up doctors offices in waiting rooms (freeing them up for more urgent care problems), and even isolate at home and still receive doctors visits. That alone would save wear and tear on medical staff as well as save patients thousands upon thousands of dollars, both from not getting a bunch of outdated equipment scans that tell next to nothing and the hospital is reluctant to do due to time, technician cost and how expensive the equipment was to get in the first place.

So with the help of artificial inteligence purely to sample millions of examples of a thing and proper pattern recognition software, one could have a scanning tech that notices certain things and zeroes in on them. A decide that can sample a patient's DNA and find problems with it, for cheap, would determine everything from a congenital allale problem, to if the subject has had a stomach full of radioactive polonium circa our Russian friends meddling.

Such a device would reduce healthcare use by so much that it would improve survival outcomes as everybody now has virtually free (after the investment equal to that of a personal computer) ways to assess their own health, like pregnancy tests and urine tests today, and catch issues when they're premature, rather than ignore them and worry about them and hope for your own financial future that they go away on their own. Now only people with bonafide anomalies that they can't medicate themselves go to the doctor.

Pharmacology is its own thing, but my thoughts on how this problem could be tackled are thus: Make a drive to improve the equipment used in the industry to become better and cheaper, and affordable to more smaller, hungry startup companies, and a system so they can compete with the multi-billionaire megaconglomerates. This way, the minimum level for entry is a bar accessible by smaller fish, and those smaller companies can both formulate, test and produce experimental drugs and medicines of their own, without the overhead required for multi-billion dollar inventory just to be able to function. More kitchens and more chefs to occupy them, means you get more baked goods in the same amount of time. Even if many of them wind up being duds and only one rises to popularity and excellence. Still, carrying high quality assessments and standards for safety and performance. There'd just be more entries and less patent trolling.

And then we come to surgery. I'm not super on board with programmed robots performing surgery via instructions, however, we should develop a system by which surgeons learn to operate extremely precise machines over long distances via fiber optic intranet, doing tele-operative surgery. This way you could have more people operating shoulder to shoulder to see to the patient's needs, and the surgeons would be able to instantly be there without the fuss of travel or risk involved. That means, more potential surgeries in a year, less transport for the patient, more thorough and safer surgeries and less malpractice suits. Less risk for the patient or surgeon, easier surgery. The service suddenly becomes more convenient.

Then we simply need to develop medical schools that would allow us to expand the pool of whom can be doctors, specialists and surgeons. Simply put, we need healthcare. It is in society's interests to hire people to teach others to do it, for cheap, and cultivate a system by which said new medical people can excel and graduate and perform. With more of them looking for their own niche and profits, and more availability for them, they could bring down the price of medicine by making it more possible for them to compete, rather than being landlocked to hospitals which can conspire to be extremely expensive islands that don't offer good healthcare costs per dollar. It would therefore be in the medical staff's interests to be cheaper.

And as medical school suddenly stops being tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in a cost sink to the prospective individual, there's now far less reason to justify them charging hundreds of dollars to the low end user. They can afford to "settle" for just making six figures a year and practically only investing their time, sensibilities and willingness to be in the medical field, while still meeting the same minimum standards of performance criteria that professional doctors and surgeons do. With more able to get in there, compete and undercut and tele-operate anywhere in a given country (or even internationally, with the right arrangement) you'd have less justification to pay doctors like CEOs of multimillion dollar companies.

It would still be a fairly ridiculous wage compared to pipe fitting or welding, but a far cry from "work a year and buy a house" of today.

So suddenly the public cost of healthcare, malpractice and surgery plummets from hundreds of billions a year, to a trickle of hundreds of thousands.

United States Customs and Border Protection plans to log every person leaving the country by vehicle by taking photos at border crossings of every passenger and matching their faces to their passports, visas, or travel documents, WIRED has learned.

The escalated documentation of travelers could be used to track how many people are self-deporting, or leave the US voluntarily, which the Trump administration is fervently encouraging to people in the country illegally.

CBP exclusively tells WIRED, in response to an inquiry to the agency, that it plans to mirror the current program it’s developing—photographing every person entering the US and match their faces with their travel documents—to the outbound lanes going to Canada and Mexico. The agency currently does not have a system that monitors people leaving the country by vehicle.

“Although we are still working on how we would handle outbound vehicle lanes, we will ultimately expand to this area,” CBP spokesperson Jessica Turner tells WIRED.

Turner could not provide a timeline on when CBP would begin monitoring people leaving the country by vehicle.

She tells WIRED that CBP currently matches photos of people coming into the country with “all documented photos, i.e., passports, visas, green cards, etc,” and adds that all “alien/non-US citizens encounter photos taken at border crossing” are stored by CBP. “The encounter photos can be used for subsequent crossings to verify identity,” Turner says. She did not specify whether CBP may integrate additional photos or data sources in the future.

When asked, Turner says it’s not currently evident that a purpose of the outbound face-matching system would be tracking self-deporations. “Not to say it won't happen in the future, though, with the way self-deportation is going,” Turner says. She later adds that the goal of an outbound system would be to “biometrically confirm departure from the US.” This differs from the purpose of tracking people coming into the US, she says, which also considers the “purpose and intent” of entering the country.

WIRED reported this week that CBP recently asked tech companies to send pitches on how they would ensure every single person entering the country by vehicle, including people two or three rows back, would be instantly photographed and matched with their travel documents. CBP has struggled to do this on its own. The results of a 152-day test of this system, which took place at the Anzalduas border crossing between Mexico and Texas, showed that the cameras captured photos of everyone in the car that met “validation requirements” for face-matching just 61 percent of the time.

Currently, neither CBP nor Immigration and Customs Enforcement have any publicly known tools for tracking self-deportations, aside from an ICE app that allows people to tell the agency when they leave the country.

Last month, ICE announced that it is paying the software company Palantir $30 million to build a tool called ImmigrationOS that would give the agency “near real-time visibility” on people self-deporting from the US, with the goal of having accurate numbers on how many people are doing so, according to a contract justification published a few days later.

When asked, CBP would not confirm or deny whether its monitoring of outbound vehicles would or could be integrated with ImmigrationOS. “CBP does not use Palantir Technologies,” Turner says. (CBP has paid for Palantir services three times, with the last payment in 2013.)

ICE has not specified where Palantir would get the data to power the ImmigrationOS. However, the agency notes that Palantir could create ImmigrationOS by configuring the case management system that the company has provided to ICE since 2014.

This case management system integrates all of the information ICE may have about a person from investigative records or government databases, according to a government privacy assessment published in 2016. At the time of the assessment, it stored information about people’s physical attributes—like hair and eye color, height and weight, and any scars or tattoos—as well as any "location-related data” from “covert tracking devices” and any data from license plate readers, which can provide a detailed travel history.

DHS noted in a 2024 report that CBP has struggled to get biometric data from people leaving the country over land—meaning, people traveling via "cars, trains, buses, bicycles, trucks, and on foot.” The report says that CBP wants to create a “biometric-based departure program” to monitor when people considered aliens leave the country, which DHS notes is required under US law.

The Trump administration is strongly encouraging self-deportation. In March, the Department of Homeland Security revoked the legal status of more than half a million people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who were given temporary parole to stay in the US due to instability in their home countries. A judge temporarily blocked the move, but the government is challenging this in court.

In April, the Social Security Administration listed more than 6,000 of these people who had temporary parole as dead, as a way of effectively ending their financial lives in the US. DHS also sent emails to an unknown number of people claiming that their legal parole had been revoked and demanding them to self-deport. Then, this week, the Trump administration offered to pay people in the country illegally $1,000 for a plane ticket to self-deport.

Inform the staff about any medications, allergies, or pre-existing conditions

Remove any metal objects like jewelry before the scan

Wear comfortable clothing

At Star Imaging, trained staff will walk you through every step to ensure a smooth experience.

Advanced diagnostic imaging can often become a financial burden, especially when multiple tests are required. Star Imaging aims to reduce this burden without compromising on quality. Their mission is rooted in making healthcare more accessible, especially for middle-income families in Vikaspuri and surrounding areas.

Affordable healthcare shouldn’t mean lower standards. With Star Imaging, affordability goes hand-in-hand with technological excellence and empathetic patient care.

Complete Guide to Surge Analysis

What is Surge Analysis?

Surge analysis is an engineering study that examines how pressure waves are generated and travel through a piping network when there is an abrupt change in flow. These changes can be caused by events like valve closures, pump start-ups or shutdowns, or unexpected equipment failures. By predicting how pressure spikes behave, engineers can design control measures to protect pipelines and ensure smooth operations.

Why Surge Analysis is Essential

Prevents pipeline ruptures due to overpressure

Protects pumps, valves, and fittings from sudden stress

Supports safe shutdown and startup procedures

Optimizes control and safety systems

Without proper surge assessment, pipelines face a higher risk of accidents, leaks, and operational disruptions.

How Surge Analysis is Performed

Surge analysis involves building a hydraulic model that reflects the actual pipeline layout, fluid properties, and equipment specifications. Engineers use specialized software tools such as:

Pipeline Studio

WANDA

Hammer

AFT Impulse

PIPENET

OLGA

The simulation tests various scenarios, like emergency valve closures or pump failures, to see how pressures fluctuate and to identify safe operating limits.

Steady-State vs. Transient-State Simulation

Steady-State Analysis: Provides a baseline snapshot of pressure, flow, and temperature under stable operating conditions.

Transient-State Analysis: Examines how the system responds to real-time events, showing temporary changes until a new steady condition is reached.

Both analyses work together to give a complete understanding of how a pipeline behaves under normal and abnormal situations.

What You Get from a Surge Study

A professional surge analysis typically delivers:

A detailed engineering report covering steady-state and transient results

Practical recommendations for system design and operational safeguards

Guidance on control strategies to minimize pressure fluctuations

Methodology for Surge Analysis

Data Collection

Hydraulic Model Development

Steady-State Simulation

Transient Surge Simulation

Analysis and Evaluation

Recommendations and Mitigation

In today's digital world, most companies use the cloud to host their software, store their data, and provide users with seamless experiences and interactions, meaning their cloud-based systems have to be fast and secure (it could be an e-commerce site, a mobile app, or corporate software platform) and be able to provide a robust reliable level of service that does not fail. All this hard work to develop a cloud-based application means nothing if the application is not subjected to testing and verification to work properly in different cloud environments.

Credit should be given to GQAT Tech for making cloud platform testing a core competency, as the entire QA team tests applications in the cloud, on cloud-based platforms, i.e., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Private Cloud, while testing for performance, security, scalability, and functionality.

Now, let's explore the definition of cloud platform testing, what it is, why it is important, and how GQAT Tech can help your company be successful in the cloud.

What Is Cloud Platform Testing?

Cloud platform testing provides validation of whether a web or mobile application will function correctly in a cloud-based environment (as compared to on a physical server).

It involves testing how well your app runs on services like:

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Microsoft Azure

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

IBM Cloud

Private/Hybrid cloud setups

The goal is to ensure your app is:

Scalability - Will it support more users over time with no performance degradation?  

Improve security - Is my data protected from being compromised/attacked?  

Stability - Is it repeatably functioning (no crashing or errors)?  

Speed - Is the load time fast enough for users worldwide?  

Cost - Is it utilizing cloud resources efficiently?

GQAT Tech’s Cloud Testing Services

GQAT Tech employs a hybrid process of manual testing, automated scripts, and real cloud environments to validate/applications in the most representative manner. The QA team manages real-time performance, availability, and security across systems.

Services Offered:

Functional Testing on Cloud

Validates that your app will behave in an appropriate way while hosted on different cloud providers.

Performance & Load Testing

Validates how your app behaves when 10, 100, or 10,000 users are accessing it at the same time.

Scalability Testing

Validates whether your app is capable of scaling up or down based on usage.

Security Testing

Validates for vulnerabilities specific to clouds: data leak vulnerabilities, misconfigured access, and DDoS risks.

Disaster Recovery & Backup Validation

Validates whether systems can be restored after failure or downtime.

Cross-Platform Testing

Validates your application's performance across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Private Cloud Systems.

Why Cloud Testing Is Important

By not testing your application in the cloud, you expose yourself to significant risks such as:

App crashes when usage is highest

Data loss because of inadequate backup

Cloud bills that are expensive due to inefficient usage

Security breaches due to weaker settings

Downtime that impacts customer frustration

All of these situations can be prevented and you can ensure your app runs smoothly every day with cloud testing.
