...A Unified Theory of Software Testing This paper presents a theory, or model, for analyzing and understanding software test techniques. It starts by developing a theory for describing analytical test techniques, such as equivalence classes, pair-wise coverage and state modeling. It then develops the theory to cover other, more heuristic test techniques. This theory states that all testing techniques are composed of a modeling schemata, one or more coverage objectives, a dispersal strategy and a theory of error. All testing techniques address a fundamental problem of testing: vastly more tests are conceivable than you could possibly run. Each technique therefore consists of a method for modeling the software in a way that allows a coverage measure to be specified and achieved and a dispersal strategy that allows this to done efficiently. Testing theory has traditionally focused on the issue of coverage and the different ways to think of it (Kaner, 101 methods for code coverage). The obverse concept is dispersal, or a method for identifying and reducing tests that are "redundant". Take, for example, the pair-wise coverage technique. This technique is often applicable when the interaction of several independent inputs or configuration parameters create more combinations than is practical to test. Suppose you have an application that supports each of the following components: DATABASE Oracle DB2 SQLServer WEB SERVER IIS Apache Netscape APP SERVER WebSphere ...

...fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communication. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss and are also immune to electromagnetic interference. How an Optical Fiber Works An Optical Fiber works on the principle of Total Internal Reflection. Light rays are reflected and guided down the length of an optical fiber. The acceptance angle of the fiber determines which light rays will be guided down the fiber. Types of fibre: Single mode OF:In single mode optical fibre only one mode of light is propagated.It is used for long distance application. DOF fibre:It is dispersion optimized single mode fiber and used for ultra long distance application. Multi Mode fibre:In multi mode the core size(50µm or 62.5 µm)is higher compare to single mode fibre and more than one mode of light can be propagated at a time.It is normally used for short distance application. Product Names of Fibres: 1. ON lite 2. PMD lite 3. BOW lite 4. DOF Lea 5. DOF-RS 6. DOF Metro 7. MM50 8. MM62.5 CORE DEPARTMENT It is headed by Mr. Nilay Mandal.

...single part number) that combines individual hydraulic components into an assembly. PCUs perform two critical functions: (1) they position the flight control surface in response to mechanical or electrical commands, and (2) they represent a principle structural element capable of withstanding flight loads and providing protection against flutter (unsteady, aerodynamic loads). The requirements of these two functions make PCU design a challenging task. At the heart of PCU is a servovalve and an actuator (servo actuator). The servovalve can be controlled by a flapper nozzle, jet pipe, solenoid, torque motor or mechanical linkage. Some PCUs contain only a servo actuator. However, PCUs often contain other components to meet performance and failure mode performance criteria. Other components typically found in PCUs are shutoff valves, pressure relief valves, input filter, check valves, and compensator. Another component that is often part of a PCU is one or more servos whose control is based on some performance criteria. These servos can be positioned electronically or by hydraulic pressure (where loss of hydraulic pressure allows a spring to position the servo). A simple PCU is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Simple PCU Diagram This PCU shows the pressure input going through a filter to a shut off valve. If the shut off valve is open (as shown), then pressure is applied to a solenoid operated servovalve. When closed, the SOV ports pressure to return. The servovalve controls actuator...

...Chapter Overview This chapter introduces students to many of the activities carried out during implementation, including coding, testing, installation, documentation, user training, and support for a system after it is installed. While most systems development texts do not include much material on implementation, the authors remedy this situation by providing material on relevant management issues, including change management, organizational politics, and implementation success. The authors also include a discussion of implementation failure, something few systems developments texts discuss, despite the high rate of information systems failure. The discussion of failure is presented in the context of factors the analyst (and project manager) can control in an attempt to ensure success. One of Chapter 17’s goals is to show the student that implementation is neither simple nor mechanical. Throughout the textbook, the authors emphasize that systems development is a change process. For many users, the most obvious evidence of change comes during implementation. Once a new system has been coded, tested, and installed, the systems development team does not simply walk away. The organizational members left with the new system, the users, need a solid understanding of how the new system fits into their work lives and how the system can support them in their day-to-day work activities. User documentation, training, and continuing support are all parts of providing this solid...

These protein concentration determinations necessary for downstream manufacturing processes to make sure the correct protein concentrations are used to meet product specifications and product performance. In the testing areas there are several test methods used by the laboratory to determine protein concentration. One method is the Amino Acid Analysis method (AAA). This method takes the protein and “unzips” the DNA strand of the protein and analyzes the protein for the different Amino Acids, then calculates a theoretical protein concentration based on the testing. Another method employed is the UV absorbance method (A280), where UV light (wavelength 280) is passed through the sample and hits the detector on the other side of the sample, at which point a measurement is made. The instrument will then use the light reading to determine a protein concentration of the material. Protein concentration readings from...
