...Testing Phase: Testing begins after the code is integrated and deployed to test environments. System and business testers verify the system meets the business & system requirements using a detailed test strategy, test plan, test cases, test summary and hand off documents. Test Strategy: The Test Strategy indicates at a high level how testing is to be carried out on this project. It indicates which parts and aspects of the project the emphasis should fall. The strategy forms a basis for a structured approach to testing. The project sponsor will verify the appropriateness of the strategy. The stakeholders will verify that the requirements for test are acceptable and prioritized appropriately. The project manager will verify that the requirements for test are consistent with the implementation and development plans. The ultimate purpose of this document is to communicate the software test team’s intent, its expectations, and its understanding of the testing that’s to be performed. The Test Manager or designated lead tester is responsible for developing and publishing the document. The test strategy for the Unified Billing System supports the following objectives: • Build a new Unified Billing System with new features that will be offered to Clients.

...Identify the ethical and legal issues of which Albert needs to be aware- The first ethical issue would be Albert and Marry taking advantage of the players of large organizations by getting them drunk to get information out of them. The second ethical issue is that when Marry lost her job Albert lost a lot of money in high risk markets with his father’s friend’s portfolios. These men were old and that was most likely their retirement fund. Another HUGE ethical and I believe legal issue would be that Albert used his uncle to gain access to law offices and gather information of certain clients and businesses. Mary also used information from her father to help another company take over the one he worked for. Using this insider information is an issue. Legal issues that they face are the emails that marry forwarded with obscene messages and images that caused her to lose her job. As well as Al dealing with blackmail from Barry to give him the IPO information, or else he’ll report him for spinning. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each decision that albert could make or has made- Although Alberts and Mary’s use of insider trading made them a substantial amount of money and enhanced their portfolios; it was still illegal and they could both lose their jobs. The same goes for the use of his uncles keys to gain access to certain law offices. A disadvantage from marry forwarding emails would be that she lost her job. The disadvantage of Albert giving into Barry’s blackmail...

...Fluent or Law of Demeter? 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...

...Source: S. G. Powell and K. R. Baker, 2004. The Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets. New York: Wiley & Sons. Copyright © 2004 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION MODELS AND MODELING Modeling is the process of creating a simplified representation of reality and working with this representation in order to understand or control some aspect of the world. While this book is devoted to mathematical models, modeling itself is a ubiquitous human activity. In fact, it seems to be one of just a few fundamental ways in which humans understand the world. As an example, a map is one of the most common models we encounter. Maps are models because they simplify reality by leaving out most geographic details in order to highlight the important features we need. A state road map, for example, shows major roads but not minor ones, gives rough locations of cities but not individual addresses, and so on. The map we choose must be appropriate for the need we have: a long trip home across several states requires a regional map, while a trip across town to find a new doctor’s office requires a detailed street map. In the same way, a good model must be appropriate for the specific uses intended for it. A complex model of the economy is probably not appropriate for pricing an individual product. Likewise, a back-of-the-envelope calculation may be inappropriate for acquiring a multibillion-dollar company. Models take many different forms: mental, visual, physical, mathematical...

...NOTE: This PDF document has a handy set of “bookmarks” for it, which are accessible by pressing the Bookmarks tab on the left side of this window. ***************************************************** We are the last. The last generation to be unaugmented. The last generation to be intellectually alone. The last generation to be limited by our bodies. We are the first. The first generation to be augmented. The first generation to be intellectually together. The first generation to be limited only by our imaginations. We stand both before and after, balancing on the razor edge of the Event Horizon of the Singularity. That this sublime juxtapositional tautology has gone unnoticed until now is itself remarkable. We're so exquisitely privileged to be living in this time, to be born right on the precipice of the greatest paradigm shift in human history, the only thing that approaches the importance of that reality is finding like minds that realize the same, and being able to make some connection with them.
