SOFTWARE TESTING

What is testing?

Testing is the process of exercising or evaluating a system or system components by manual or automated means to verify that it satisfies specified requirements.

The Purpose of Testing:

Testing consumes at least half of the time and work required to produce a functional program. o MYTH: Good programmers write code without bugs. (It’s wrong!!!) o History says that even well written programs still have 1-3 bugs per hundred statements.

Productivity and Quality in Software: o In production of consumer goods and other products, every manufacturing stage is subjected to quality control and testing from component to final stage. o If flaws are discovered at any stage, the product is either discarded or cycled back for rework and correction. o Productivity is measured by the sum of the costs of the material, the rework, and the discarded components, and the cost of quality assurance and testing.

There is a tradeoff between quality assurance costs and manufacturing costs: If sufficient time is not spent in quality assurance, the reject rate will be high and so will be the net cost. If inspection is good and all errors are caught as they occur, inspection costs will dominate, and again the net cost will suffer.

Testing and Quality assurance costs for 'manufactured' items can be as low as 2% in consumer products or as high as 80% in products such as space-ships, nuclear reactors, and aircrafts, where failures threaten life. Whereas the manufacturing cost of software is trivial.

The biggest part of software cost is the cost of bugs: the cost of detecting them, the cost of correcting them, the cost of designing tests that discover them, and the cost of running those tests.

For software, quality and productivity are indistinguishable because the cost of a software copy is trivial.

DATA MINING AND DATA WAREHOUSE

DATA MINING AND DATA WAREHOUSE UNIT-1: Data Mining: Data mining is defined as the procedure of extracting information from large sets of data i.e. there is a large of data available in the industry. This data is of no use until it is converted into useful information. It is necessary to analyze this large amount of data and extract useful information. Sometimes referred as  Knowledge Extraction  Knowledge Mining  Pattern Anaysis  Data Archeology Areas of Data mining:  Financial Data Analysis: The financial data in banking and financial industry is generally reliable and of high quality which facilities systematic data analysis and data mining. Some of the typical cases are as follows:  Loan payment prediction and customer credit policy analysis.  Classification and clustering of customers for targeted marketing  Detection of money laundering and other financial crimes  Retail Industry: Data mining in retail industry helps in identifying customer buying items and trends t...

JAVA NOTES FOR ALL

JAVA NOTES FOR ALL Consider the following important ideas and considerations when dealing with Java: Java is an object-oriented programming language, which means it places a strong emphasis on the idea of objects that encapsulate information and behaviour. Encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism are important OOP tenets. Syntax and Organisation: Classes are used as building blocks for objects while writing Java programming. Each class consists of variables (fields) for data storage and functions (methods) for behaviour definition. A main() function is often where Java programmes begin to run. Primitive and reference types are the two basic categories of data types in Java. Integer, double, and boolean types are examples of primitive types, whereas objects, arrays, and strings are examples of reference types. Control Flow: Java has statements for controlling the flow of execution based on conditions, including if-else, switch-case, for loops, while loops, and do-while loops. ...
