...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.

...Code of Ethics Our company ethics are all summed up into four words: Service excellence Respect Integrity Relationships Service excellence demands the requirement to provide the best client experience since we get only one chance to make a great impression. We must surpass our customers’ expectations by providing friendly help, support, and complete disclosure of options available to them. We must prove that what we do and how we do it for them is superior to our competitors. Respect is the esteem and dignity we convey in the dealings with our clients. We esteem them, their families, their property, and their personal belongings. Because of this respect, we treat and advise them as if they were our own family. Integrity is an adherence to moral principles; soundness of moral character; honesty. In other words, we do what we say we’re going to do when we’re going to do it. We keep our word and our commitments. We do what is right when eyes are watching and when they’re not. Relationships are what we build to endure time. They are key to the residual affection of our existing families and the entire community. Enduring relationships are intentional connections, associations, and involvement amongst our families’ lives and the community we serve. With these four values, we can ensure the highest of reputation and loyalty from the community we do business in. This ethical approach will not just provide the satisfaction our families deserve today, but...

...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...

In 1986, Mr. Han Keen Juan, bought over the control of Old Chang Kee business and transform into a household brand today. For over 56 years, OCK specialise in the production and sales of a variety of affordable and quality finger food directly to consumers in Singapore. Most of their sales are on a takeaway basis and their 76 outlets in Singapore today are located at different areas to cater wider group of customers. OCK sub brands include Curry Times, Pie Kia and Mushroom which offers dine in concept restaurants carrying a range of local delicacy such as nasi lemak and laksa. Catering services are also provided in selected areas in Singapore. 2.

...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.
