...Table of Content: Page Number Answer 3 Appendix 6 Refences 7 Career theory has begun since the early 20th century. As the changing nature of world, career theory experiences major transition from time to time to achieve an applicable theory. This essay will discuss and analyse the literature about career theory in the early 21st Century. Sonnenfeld (1982) has described career theory as theory which attempts to explain occupational variables such as type of job and income or psychological variables such as job satisfaction and job-related stress. Career development began from Frank Parsons’ work where he predicts a person’s career choices from the his characteristics, including self-knowledge, career planning and “true reasoning”(Patton et al, 2006). Later, several aptitude tests were used in the assessment of unemployed workers which led to the development of trait-factor approaches. Fitzgerald (1992) suggested that the trait-factor approach can be attributed to the combination of Parsons matching models with the concepts and technology of individual differences. As consequences, trait-factor theory implies on the match or fit between individual’s characteristics and work environment , emphasizing on the relationship between knowledge about self and knowledge about environment (Betz, 1989). Collin (1986) has argued that the major thrust in career theory has centred on individual rather than on contextual factors. However, Holland’s...

...Self assessment personality tests have been helping me a lot. The Holland Code test was helpful, it showed me results that made sense, “You are more of a helper” which is true, I love helping people. It is very important for me to have a job that has to do with helping people because that is my passion. It is also important that it is a job with good work hours, it is important to me to have a stable schedule. And it is important that my job will allow me to be me, I want to be able to have my hair the way it is and dress how I like, I don’t want my job to change who I am. Some extrinsic work values that I want would be.. Close to wherever I will live, it would be nice to not have a long commute. I also would like to have lots of flexibility in my work, even though I know that is not always easy to have. And I would also like to be in my own little office wherever I work. It is important to me that I live near family, I think that will help me with work because I will know the general area I need to stay. It is important for me to stay focused and that will definitely help me in the work field. And most importantly it is important for me to stay kind, caring and understanding, That will help me with jobs because it is important to stay kind to people at...

...Concordion 1. Who (company or individual) developed the tool? What is the cost to the tool user? How do you acquire it? Concordion was developed by David Peterson, an agile consultant from London, UK. While working at Easynet in 2006, the idea was formed with testers and developers Nat Pryce and Steve Freeman. Concordion was then later ported and improved upon by several developers, specifically Nigel Charman, the designer of the Concordion Extensions API. The Concordion tool is available for free at concordion.org/Download.html. 2. What testing purpose does the tool serve? (i.e., what problem does it attempt to solve? How does it improve productivity?) Concordion is an open source tool that is used for the automation of Specification by Example. Using simple HTML, developers can create concrete examples in any specifications with certain commands. This allows for Concordion to check the examples against a real-life system. The specifications allow for complete cover of any behavior important to a customer. Based on this, specifications can be used as unit tests. Concordion specifications are also clear and readable so they can also serve as system documentation. This means a project’s specifications can be easy to understand for the development team, as well as anyone outside it. This would ultimately allow for a better maintenance of software quality as the software can be reviewed as a group effort. 5. What do you need to do in order to use the tool? There...

...Executive Summary e goal of our project is to investigate the fundamental problem that plagues all software development: the gap between the intentions of the designer, as described (often only minimally) in design and specification documents, and the behaviour of the delivered system, as realized in the code. We are developing new languages, tools and methods to address this problem. Our work also incorporates independent analyses of designs and code. By applying our design analyses, we can be sure that the design as described has the intended consequences the designer had in mind. By applying our code analyses, we can eliminate flaws that do not depend on comparison to a design, and can discover properties that can be later fed into a conformance analysis. Rather than pursuing a single, narrow research approach, we have tried to explore the problem from many angles. We consider how a codebase may be analyzed in the presence of some design models; how it might be analyzed if there is no explicit design documentation; and how minimal design properties expressed as code annotations might be exploited. We have developed static analyses that require no execution of the code but can simulate the effect of all possible executions, and dynamic analyses that require a test suite but can produce more accurate results. Some of our static analyses are conservative, and can guarantee properties of all executions; others are sound in their error reports, so that no false alarms are given...

Which tool used in the lab is considered a static analysis tool? Explain what is referred to by static code analysis. RATS, because the running of static code analysis tools that attempt to highlight possible vulnerabilities within ‘static’ (non-running) source code. 3. What possible high risk vulnerabilities did the Rats tool find in the DVWA application source code? Allow system commands to execute. 4. Did the static analysis tool find all the potential security flaws in the application? Yes, although such tools like these would automatically find security flaws with high degree of confidence that what it found was a flaw. 5. What is black box testing on a web site or web application? They’re designed to threat the application as an “unknown entity”; therefore, no knowledge of the tiers is provided. 6. Explain the Skipfish command in detail: ./skipfish-o/var/scans/is308lab.org –A admin:password –d3 –b I –X logout.jsp –r200000 http://www.is308lab.org This is a standard, authenticated scan of a well-designed and self-contained site. 7.

...the next update of C-Atlas, Ensoft intends to update the capabilities of C-Atlas. These improvements are intended to provide a customizable approach to evaluating a program’s design, structure, and security. Such an update seeks to address any number of problems. Analyzing a C program’s memory management is one such problem. This project would seek to use C-Atlas to better analyze C memory management. In memory leak (memory management) analysis, the user must show that for every path forward from an variable’s allocation, there exists at least one deallocation site for that variable. This task is trivial, unless the variable’s allocation and deallocation(s) are separated by a vast field of possible control flow. C-Atlas offers a flexible interface for data flow graph generation as a solution to this problem. Through this interface, one may then produce connected data flow graphs, allowing a single variable’s path to be traced through multiple functions. This visual aide can greatly increase the time efficiency of performing memory leak analysis. The idea of this project was to write a script to produce meaningful data flow graphs for analyzing memory leaks. This script will seek to help confirm (or dispute) if some allocation site is dominated by some deallocation-site along every feasible data flow path. Finally, the script will be tested on a release of the XINU kernel. RESEARCH The research portion of this...

Personality-Job fit theory is a widely used selection tool that assists organizations in employee selection. It is widely believed that personality is related to job performance and career success. According to the theorist (Holland, 1985) cited in (Robbins and Judge, 2013) on Personality-Job fit theory, “a theory that identifies six personality types and proposes that the fit between personality type and occupational environment determines satisfaction and turnover.” Also according to Holland, quoted by (Arnold, et al., 2010) Holland’s main theoretical propositions, states that “People find environments satisfying when environmental patterns resemble...

... Serban Gavrus Abstract The Law of Demeter is one of the most widely known programming principle, it‟s easy to respect and it assures some important code quality aspect. It can be briefly defined as “use only one dot”. Fluency is a popular choice for implementing interfaces because it adds readability and ease of use. Method chaining and fluency are in practice inseparable. These two aspects of programming seem to be contradictory, one can‟t have both. This essay argues that fluency and LoD can coexist and in the case where the developer must sacrifice one for the other, there is no clear rule to follow. 1.1 Law of Demeter The Law of Demeter was proposed by Ian Holland in 1987. It‟s a programming rule that applies to how methods are written, whose purpose is to assure a good programming style. It‟s been created as a metric to asses the quality of an object-orientated program. The direct purpose of the law is to condense several OOP principles(coupling control, information hiding, information restriction, information localization, structural induction) into a simple and easy to follow rule. The indirect purpose is to ensure loose coupling and stricter modularity. [1] The Law of Demeter is intended to be a guideline, not an absolute restriction. Misunderstanding and blindly following this law can lead to poorer code. [1] The law states that an object “A” should not access an object “B”, retrieved by calling a method of another object “C”, of which “A” has a direct reference...

...Management Planning MGT/330 January 28, 2013 Management Planning History One of the world’s leading innovators in athletic products is Nike, Inc. It is popular for its athletic footwear, equipment, accessories and apparel. Nike’s mission: “To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world” (Nike, Inc., 2011). Two visionary men, by the names of Bill Bowerman (Nike’s co-founder) and Philip H. Knight (Chairman of the Board of Directors), set out to revolutionize athletic footwear which later redefined the industry. Bowerman and Knight were first a partnership under the name, Blue Ribbon Sport. The goal of Nike, Inc. was to distribute Japanese quality shoes at a low-cost to America. As of 2000, over 40% of Nike’s sales come from athletic apparel, sports equipment, and subsidiary ventures. It dominates the athletic footwear industry in the global market share by 33%. It has over 20,000 retailers that includes Nike factory stores, Nike stores, NikeTowns, Cole Haan stores, as well as its internet-based Web sites (Enderle, Hirsch, Micka, Saving, Shah, & Szerwinski, 2000) . Planning Functions Considering the mass size of Nike’s organization, maintaining traditional and non-traditional distribution channels are controlled by its planning functions.

...matters at hand, how and who it may have an impact on, including any potential future problems from the choices made. Not long ago the Phoenix Police department of Phoenix Arizona has encountered a number of moral dilemmas that has frightened their appearance. Although several police officer have attempted to charge for work that has not been accomplished, this is known as stealing and contains a number of moral repercussions that may come about as a result. During 2007 the Metropolitan Property Management Company in Phoenix and the Cotton Center homeowners association made a protest with the Professional Standards Bureau that allegedly stated that a number of Phoenix police officers were responsible for theft and fraud (2010, Holland). Ultimately, the Attorney General’s office of Arizona prosecuted four general officers and laid off 30 additional officers in November, once authorities stated that they stole thousands in cash, in a security scam while not on the clock. Sgt. Benjamin, officers Steven Peck, Aaron Lentz, and the primary leader of the rip- off, ex patrolman George Contreras was the alleged officer, according to Ferraris of the Arizona Republic, they supposedly charged penalties to police officer that was not on duty to offier...
