Answer» hey GUYS, i got somenthing for you guys hehehhehehhe, just joking,,, i wounder if some one can explain me whats the meaning of this sentence,,,, Despite software testing being used in software development for some time the assurance of quality software remains an issue”. Let's have a look. The first sentence implies that even though software testing is a part of the development cycle, the quality of software remains a problem. Software is complicated. Not only does it have to work on the operating system for which it is designed, it has to "play nice" with all the other software which may exist on a person's computer, and it has to be able to work on a wide variety of hardware. That's part of why quality assurance is so difficult, and necessary. A few months ago, I saw a program that was loaded on to a Local Area Network. This program had a virus-protection feature built into it. It did not allow certain files to be changed. The problem is, it "looked" at EVERYTHING on the computer, and would not allow updates to be made to a database which was part of an entirely DIFFERENT program. I AGREE with the statement, because in spite of testing, quality software is still a problem. I DISAGREE with the statement, because it makes it sound like testing is this new idea that's just come along in the last few years. EVERY program ever written has to be tested to see whether it will work. (Some coders are so good, they KNOW their code will work properly, but that first "run" is still a "test.") What that part of the sentence implies is that testing has become part of the ongoing software development cycle because it's become so complicated. The sentence says "for some time," which makes it seem which makes it seem like testing has not always been part of the process. Quote • agree/disagree with the above statement and motivate your Let's see...motivate my selection...so you want me to take the response I wrote, and encourage it to do something. "Motivation" may be positive or negative, but motivation is getting someone or something to do what needs to be done. Quote can some one help me with this, i really need itYes, you do. Can some one help me with this? I really need it You wrote a question and a statement and combined them with a comma. Yes, I understood what you MEANT, but had to spend extra time "processing" the statement because the syntax was incorrect. Quote tks tks?? Oh, do you mean, "Thanks"? You couldn't be bothered with three extra letters? How many people know that "tks" means "thanks"? You assume people will know, and it's more convenient for you, but it doesn't convey the proper meaning for everyone. So what did I do, here? I took your question and turned it into a personal attack. Yes. No. If we were to meet, I would shake your hand and call you "friend" and be glad to know you. The POST typifies a growing problem: people who can't or won't properly communicate in a written language format wondering why their code doesn't work. It's one thing to be new to a language or to not to have a language as a second language (though I know people for whom English is a second language who have better English skills than native speakers and writers). I see more and more poorly written posts and memos at work and all kinds of things where people are making mistakes or being lazy and taking too many shortcuts with what they communicate. I guess they think it doesn't matter, or that everyone else will figure it out. The problem is, some of these people come to this forum and write, "My code doesn't work." I wonder how MUCH of it is the fact that they are not paying proper attention to the rules of the language, and the structure, and the syntax. Oracle is a monster of a program. My understanding is people with skills in Oracle are usually well paid, because it is such a demanding software system. |
