TweakBit FixMyPC 184.108.40.206 | 8.1 MB
All computers tend to become glitchy at some point in time, some sooner than others. Applications may stop responding, error messages may start popping up often, and your system may even crash or give you the dreaded BSOD requiring a hard reboot. It's not just an inconvenience from having to reboot your PC, the consequences of a misbehaving computer are usually more serious. You may lose your data; the open files you had no chance to save or even ones already saved. We don't always think that this is something that may be effectively cured and even prevented. However, there is software that can safely and quickly repair common PC errors, as well as immunize your system against future stability problems. FixMyPC from Tweakbit is one of the safest and most effective programs of this kind out there.
It is equipped with advanced algorithms that spare the system-critical parts of your Windows registry and eliminate corrupt entries that are safe to delete. Besides cleaning the registry, the program defragments it to ensure it takes up less of your computer's memory, as well as protects your registry from unauthorized remote access, prevents USB-born malware from running on your PC and improves your privacy standing. The automatic tools in FixMyPC effectively prevent Desktop and Explorer processes from ever crashing and protect your PC's overall stability.

While you've no doubt been preparing for months, these things tend to sneak up on people, much like Christmas, anniversaries and alleyway muggers, so we thought we'd issue a friendly reminder: Wednesday, November 20, is national Go Home on Time Day (GHTD).
GHTD is an annual initiative carried out by the Australian Institute and Beyondblue, aimed at promoting mentally healthy workplaces and sufficient work/life balance.
"Go Home on Time Day is a light-hearted way to start a serious conversation and when so many people say work – either too much or not enough – is making them anxious, then it's clearly a conversation that needs to be had," says The Australia Institute executive director, Richard Denniss.
This year's campaign focuses on actively engaging workplaces to acknowledge the impact of the workplace on people's mental health and wellbeing, by promoting activities such as a lunchtime yoga class, a morning or afternoon tea and a set time for everyone to go home.
Also coming up over the next eight weeks are the following, nearly as important dates:
October 8: Face Your Fears Day
Celebrate by letting peanut butter stick to the roof of your mouth if you're an Arachibutyrophobic, ordering Chinese food if you're a Consecotaleophobic, or burying yourself in a mound of daffodils if you're a Xanthophobic. There are so many phobias out there, you're bound to have one (and yes, the fear of yet more conversations with coworkers involving Breaking Bad references totally counts).
October 10: Porridge Day
This one's fairly self-explanatory. If you happen to be in Singapore on the day, you may wish to celebrate by ordering a Chicken SingaPorridge - a cup of porridge with bits of chicken, ginger, onion, shallots and chili peppers - from your local Maccas.
November 7: Men Make Dinner Day
We're not sure why this holiday exists. Sure, we could be wrong about the idea that 20th century gender stereotypes got chucked out in a giant, cosmic rubbish bag as soon as the clock struck Y2K, but somebody apparently forgot to mention this to the good folks at daysoftheyear.com. So let's just humour them, shall we? Gentlemen, fire up your toasted sandwich makers! And no, chips are not a vegetable.
November 19: Have a Bad Day Day
Celebrate by not celebrating anything, because your bus broke down on the way to work and then you forgot your phone at home so you can't call the client you were supposed to meet at 11 to tell them you're running late because there's a chicken outside your office and you're an Alektorophobic and even though you tried to hug a chicken on October 8 you couldn't, you just couldn't; those beady little eyes shone up at you like the buttons on Satan's pinstriped dinner jacket and you just froze. Now you'll have to stay late, because office policy states that you must go home on time for GHTD tomorrow.

Good morning and seasons greetings to all my bookaholic readers. It has been a hectic couple of months for me as I try to fit in writing book number two, editing book number one and fitting in all the Christmas shopping, meals and parties. I am sure this will resonate with many readers of this blog whether you are a writer, reader or even both.
So what am I up to this Christmas. Exactly the same as everyone else I am sure with an added extra twist. Although I am taking a few days break from sitting at my desk and writing, I still have my trusty notebook everywhere I go. My mind never seems to stop thinking about murdering people. In a storytelling sense of course before you think I've turned into a mass murderer overnight. Although I could be tempted when fighting my way around the shops and standing in yet another queue which would make the Alaskan oil pipeline seem short.
A certain frisson is added to Christmas dinner when thinking about how a stuffed turkey or a huge gammon could be used in a future book. Will this appear? You'll have to read my books to find out. I can hear the cries of that's not fair from here. Well I like to keep you all in suspense. That is what I write about after all. I will be eating Christmas lunch with my family including my two nieces. I have the job of cooking the gammon and turkey. My family may be thinking about murdering me if it all goes wrong. I've never actually cooked a turkey before. Oh well there are lots of vegetables.
In he meantime I must dash. I am off to help at a Community Christmas Party at my church. City Church Dundee in case you are wondering. I've got to get into my rather fetching elf outfit. No I am not joking. I will post a picture in the next blog.
I would like to end by wishing all my readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope Santa brings you lots of nice books. More importantly I wish Joy and Peace to you all.

I'm done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn't seem like any fun.
A lot of children don't find forever homes because they're on that special-needs list, even if it's because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant.
I was the youngest child and really spoiled. I loved to play make-believe. I loved pretending to be all kinds of different people and it just seemed natural that I would go into acting.
My mother is a realist, and she's had biological and adoptive children, and she said it's no different: No matter what, they're putting a stranger into your arms. You don't know them yet.
I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.
My mother often says that she could never have done it if I had been the youngest, if she had other small children she had to cart around New York City for my auditions and go-sees (modeling auditions) and stuff.
I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.
I can't cultivate a relationship with my child if it's between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized, 'This is not going to work.' It will work some of the year, but not 12 months a year.

So the new buzz in bollywood industry is personal blogs. Whether its a movie promotion or Reality show promotion or its a promotion of your cricket team. Bollywood celebrities are now fighting over their personal blogs and commenting about each other, apologizing for comments, statements and what not.
It all started with Amir Khan, who started {ln:Aamir Khan Starts His Own Blog 'his own blog}. Right after launching his blog, he actually launched {ln:Aamir Khan to start Chating on his own 'personalized chat} application so that he can talk to his fans.
Its a different story that the {ln:Experience With Live Chat on AamirKhan.com 'experience of chating} on his site was chaos. So right after that many other bollywood celebrites started their own blogs. So let me compile the list of bollywood celebrities blogs.
{ln:nw:http://www.aamirkhan.com 'AamirKhan.com} - Aamir Khan started this blog to promot his Lagaan DVD launch in India. He is been consistent and regular when it comes to posting on his blog. He keeps his fans upto date about his movies, shootings, incidents happened in his life etc. At times I felt that he might not be writing on his own but over his different posts, he made sure that everyone believes the its him.
{ln:nw:http://bigb.bigadda.com 'Amitabh Bachchan's Blog} - Amitabh Bachchan also jumped into blogging right before the launch of Bhoothnath. He started promoting Bhoothnath and later talked about the maharashtra issues and created quite a bit of controversies. Well whatever it is, its good that his fans now can directly talk to him without having media in-between.
{ln:nw:http://www.johnabraham.com/content/view/163/46/ 'John Abraham Blog} - Looks like John has his blog for quite sometime now. He is been posting articles on his website for almost 2 years but he is not regular. He posts only few articles. So far he has made only 5 to 6 articles.
{ln:nw:http://bipashabasunet.com/cms/diary/ 'Bipasa Basu's Blog} - Bipasa Basu also writes articles every now and then on her website. Latest entries talk about her first bengali film and thanking her fans who visited her website. I am not sure how authenticate this site is though.
{ln:nw:http://shilpashettylive.com 'Shilpa Shetty Blog} - Shilpa Shetty has also launched her website ShilpaShettyLive.com which promotes her perfume line as well as her fitness and yoga DVDs. Everyone knows how fitness freak she is. The site has videos and pictures of her "biggest win ever" Big Brother and all that stuff. It also shows her biography, filmography and all but I don't see her writing any blog entries to her fans.
{ln:nw:http://duskadum.blogspot.com/ 'Salman Khan Blog} - Salman Khan has now started blogging in the event of promoting Dus Ka Dum. Personally, I like Dus Ka DUm better than "Panchvi Pass".
Updates: Thanks Tangerine..
{ln:nw:http://shobhaade.blogspot.com 'Shobha De Blog} - Shobha De started her own blog with Blogger. You can find her blog at shobhade.blogspot.com.
{ln:nw:http:// rgvarma.spaces.live.com 'Ram Gopal Vermas Blog} - Ram Gopal Verma, one of the most famous producer director who made very popular movies like Rangeela, Sarkar etc.
Harbhajan Bhajji - Harbhajan Singh - Bhajji recently launched his own blog at BigAdda. You can access his blog by visiting {ln:nw:http://bhajji.bigadda.com/}

|Finance Bill
Dawn Primarolo: What a nice Committee it is this afternoon. Long may that lastalthough I have a feeling it is only a lull before the storm. I thank the hon. Gentleman for put my response on the record, so that it is clear.
I assure the hon. Member for Arundel and South Downs that extremely close consultation took place with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on the issue of the list of the national museums and galleries to which the scheme would apply. We have to go slightly further than that Department. For one reason or another, other Departments sponsor national museums and galleries, all of which are being drawn together for a list that will be published no later than 1 September.
The hon. Gentleman's second question was why do we not simply admit the schemes to section 33. I am sure that he appreciates that section 33 provides for the refund of VAT to local authorities and similar bodies so that VAT does not fall as a burden on local taxation. To be covered by section 33, bodies must carry out a local authority-type function and have the power to levy directly on local taxation; that was the policy of the previous Administration, too. National museums and galleries do not undertake that type of function, so we shall publish a list of the museums that will have access to the scheme.
The hon. Gentleman asked why access to section 33 was so tightly controlled, but then he answered his own question. If it were not, everyone would want access, and that would not be permissible. That is the reason for our approach, which is entirely consistent with the arrangements that we can make within the nationally determined decisions in respect of the sixth directive. The exemption is, in effect, a grant.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 96 ordered to stand part of the Bill
Clause 97 ordered to stand part of the Bill..
Schedule 30 agreed to.
Clauses 98 and 99 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Schedule 31 agreed to.
Clauses 100 and 101 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

One past life reading to the first three people that reply!
Request a Reading
What I do in past-life readings is to ask your guides to show me the past life most in need of healing at this time. With their help, I explore the past life and help the piece of your soul that is stuck there to cross over into the light and rejoin your higher self. Past life readings can be more emotional than you might think, because they can trigger memories you didn't even know you had, and help to explain odd things that you do or have experienced in your current lifetime.
One past lifetime will be explored for each of the first three people that reply to this thread.

So I've been completely slack with updating my blog, so to those actually checking up on it I'm sorry. I shall try to blog more often but we all know how life gets in the way of these things.
I have nothing particularly new or exciting to talk about, no new shows to contemplate or books I've read to dissect, frankly I've barely been reading at all. I've been rewatching old shows, onto season four of alias and just finished the first season of crossing jordan.
I'm really looking forward to christmas this year, for the first time in quite a few years. I get to spend the day with my family which is not usually fun but with my 6 month old nephew and my cousin's 2 week old baby girl it should be a different feeling to the day, plus I get to bring my wonderful boyfriend with me so I won't be the sole single gal there :P
So with the promise of more posts to come I'll leave you guys to your lives...

1. When the roses of youth all their beauty display,
And the world seems as bright as a glad summer day,
When our hearts are as happy as happy can be,
There's a sweet voice that whispers, O come unto Me.
Softly and low, softly and low,
Telling of rest in its love-breathing tones;
Softly and low, softly and low,
Savior, dear Savior, that voice is Thine own.
2. When we gather with friends in the temple of prayer,
And the eye of our Father looks down on us there;
When we mingle our voices with hearts glad and free,
Still the call is repeated, O come unto Me. [Refrain]
3. Let us come in our youth, and as long as we live,
Our affection, our worship, to Jesus we'll give;
Then, whatever our trials or conflicts may be,
Still that sweet voice will whisper, O come unto Me. [Refrain]
4. When the springtime is over, and summer is past,
When the snowflakes around us are falling at last,
To the spirit how joyful the message will be!
Come and rest you forever in glory with Me. [Refrain]

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of basketball, meaning that I have no idea how the game is structured, what the player positions are, and even how long the rounds last. And that's fine, because All-Star Basketball doesn't require that kind of knowledge. Because it's not a damn basketball game, it's a free throw simulator. And it doesn't actually have any stars – well, there are star shapes, which I guess is technically correct.
All-Star Basketball gives the player control over the loneliest basketball player in the world, whose pastimes include throwing a ball in a net in an empty stadium, throwing the ball in an empty field, and in a range of other equally empty locations.
The actual technique of proper throwing in All-Star Basketball is still a matter of guessing for me. To throw the ball, the player simply needs to flick the finger up the screen with proper speed. But the player changes positions every fourth throw, just when you get the correct way to throw, and then you have to guess it all over again. It's not that difficult, of course, but it's barely impossible to actually master it to get long series of throws. And it's a requirement, since the longer your hit streak, the more gold and points you get. The gold is required to purchase levels, modes, other stuff, and play in multiplayer, and points are worth literally nothing.
The game modes, that are absolutely impossible to unlock, slightly change the throwing circumstances. I can only guess if they are more interesting than the original mode, since in two hours that I've played the game, I couldn't even get closed to the sum required to unlock one. There's also a multiplayer mode, in which the poor sod shares his seclusion with another guy. Both parties chip in for 25 gold, and whoever wins the series of free throws, gets the money.
All in all, All-Star Basketball is actually not a bad game, although it does take a whole lot of loading time to start playing, and the throwing mechanics could be more varied from "swipe at the right time and speed". It's got okay physics and what looks like a fair difficulty, as well as a great amount of gear to unlock, and even several game modes. I guess that it's going to be fine for people who like simple sports sims, and aren't put off by the ads.

From TEFL Thailand to How to teach English in Japan (home)
To Ajarn - TEFL Site
One of the benefits of being a relatively well paid teacher in Thailand is the excellent health care at very cheap prices. Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok is one example of this.
Or for TEFL teachers in Japan who need a physical, or another procedure, hospitals like this are a great idea. Why not travel Thailand and get your procedure done at some time during your trip?
Bumrundgrad International Hospital
One American patient had high praise for this hospital and got his colonoscopy there:
"I usually go to the health screening page. It's been pretty easy to make an appointment over the internet -- they respond within a day almost always (except weekends, natch…)."
Cost of a colonoscopy at Bumrungrad? - under 20,000 Yen! That will cost you over 100,000 Yen in Japan and probably much more.

Here, we have laid down the 50 most essential manual testing interview questions and answers. Any tester who is preparing for a job change or wish to acquaint himself with the nitty-gritty of the software testing should read this post for quick results.
Our team has put a lot of efforts in the selection and preparation of these interview questions for manual testers. They have thought through all the answers and tried the best to keep them simple and easy to remember. However, if you like to improve any of the answers or wish to add a new question, then do let us know.
Also, we are listing a few quick tips below. These will help you in presenting yourself with confidence during interviews.
- Read about the company and the opportunity.
- Be good at non-vocal skills.
- Show them your confidence, make proper eye contact and stand straight.
- Brace for a great start.
- Dress well.
- Prefer to wear a formal outfit.
- You may even look out for a dress code in the company if they've any.
- Neither talk too much nor pretend to be too familiar.
- Be polite while replying.
- Take time to think before answering a question.
- Ask questions.
- Don't look desperate.
- Be authentic, candid and concise.
- Thank the interviewer in person.
Apart from these manual testing interview questions, you might like to check out the below post, one of best technical questionnaires for Senior test engineers.
The list of most important manual testing interview questions is given below. Read them all to boost your testing concepts.
Top 50 Manual Testing Interview Questions & Answers.
Q-1. What is Requirement Traceability Matrix?
Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) is a document which records the mapping between the high-level requirements and the test cases in the form of a table.
That's how it ensures that the Test Plan covers all the requirements and links to their latest version.
Q-2. Explain the difference between Pilot and Beta testing?
Answer. Read the following points to know the difference between Pilot and Beta testing.
1. We do the beta test when the product is about to release to the customer whereas pilot testing takes place in the earlier phase of the development cycle.
2. In the beta test, testing application is given to few users to make sure that application meet the customer requirements and does not contain any showstopper bug. Whereas, in the pilot test, few members of the testing team work at the Customer site to set up the product. They give their feedback also to improve the quality of the end product.
Q-3. Describe how to perform Risk analysis during software testing?
Answer. Risk analysis is the process of identifying the hidden issues that may derail the successful delivery of the application. It also prioritizes the sequence of resolving the identified risks for testing purpose.
Following are some of the risks that are of concern to the QA.
1. New Hardware.
2. New Technology.
3. New Automation Tool.
4. The sequence of code delivery.
5. Availability of test resources for the application.
We prioritize them into three categories which are as follows.
1. High magnitude: Impact of the bug on the other functionality of the application.
2. Medium: it is tolerable in the application but not desirable.
3. Low: it is tolerable. This type of risk has no impact on the company business.
Q-4. What is Silk Test and why should you use it?
Answer. Here are some facts about the Silk tool.
1. It's a tool developed for performing the regression and functionality testing of the application.
2. It benefits when we are testing Window based, Java, the web, and the traditional client/server applications.
3. Silk Test help in preparing the test plan and managing them to provide the direct accessing of the database and validation of the field.
Q-5. What is the difference between Master Test Plan and Test Plan?
Answer. The difference between Master Plan and Test Plan can be described using following points.
1. Master Test Plan contains all the test scenarios and risks prone areas of the application. Whereas, Test Plan document contains test cases corresponding to test scenarios.
2. Master Test Plan captures each and every test to be run during the overall development of application whereas test plan describes the scope, approach, resources and schedule of performing the test.
3. MTP includes test scenarios to be executed in all the phases of testing that run during the complete life cycle of the application development. Whereas, a separate Test Plan exists for each phase of testing like Unit, Functional, and System which contains the test cases related to that type only.
4. Only for big projects, we need a Master Test Plan which requires execution in all phases of testing. However, preparing a basic Test Plan is enough for small projects.
Q-6. How do you handle a non-reproducible bug?
Answer. Following bugs lie under the non-reproducible category.
1. Defects observed due to low memory issue.
2. Bugs raised due to address pointing to a memory location that does not exist.
3. The race condition is an error scenario which occurs when the timing of one event impacts another executing in a sequence.
A tester can take the following actions to handle the non-reproducible bugs.
1. Execute test steps that are close to the error description.
2. Evaluate the test environment.
3. Examine and evaluate test execution results.
4. Keep the resources & time constraints under check.
Q-7. How do you perform Automated Testing in your environment?
Answer. Automation Testing is a process of executing tests automatically. It reduces the human intervention to a great extent. We use different test automation tools like QTP, Selenium, and WinRunner. These tools help in speeding up the testing tasks.
Using the above tools we can create test scripts to verify the application automatically. After completing the test execution, these tools also generate the test reports.
Q-8. What are the factors that you'll consider to choose automated testing over manual testing?
The choice of automated testing over manual testing depends on the following factors.
1. Tests require periodic execution.
2. Tests include repetitive steps.
3. Tests execute in a standard runtime environment.
4. Automation is expected to take less time.
5. Automation is increasing reusability.
6. Automation reports are available for every execution.
7. Small releases like service packs which include a minor bug fix. In such cases, regression type of cases is sufficient for validation.
Q-9. What is the difference between a Test Driver and Test Stub?
The test driver is a piece of code that calls a software component under test. It is useful in testing that follows the bottom-up approach.
Test stub is a dummy program that integrates with an application to complete its functionality. These are relevant for testing that uses the top-down approach.
Let's take an example.
1. Let's say there is a scenario to test the interface between modules A and B. We have developed only module-A. Then we can test module-A only if we have real module-B or a dummy module for it. In this case, we call module-B as the Test Stub.
2. Now, module-B can't send or receive data directly from module-A. In such scenario, we've to move data from one module to another using some external features called Test Driver.
Q-10. What are the essential qualities of an experienced QA or Test Lead?

Q-13. What is a Test case?
A test case is a sequence of actions and observations that are used to verify the desired functionality. A good test case helps to identify problems in the requirements or design of an application.
Q-14. What is Agile testing and why is it important?
Answer. Agile testing is a software testing process which evaluates a software from the customer point of view. And it is important because this does not require Dev to complete coding for starting QA. Instead, the coding and testing both goes hand in hand. However, it may require continuous customer interaction.
Q-15. How do you test a product if the requirements are yet to freeze?
Answer. If the requirement spec is not available for a product, then a test plan can be created based on the assumptions made about the product. But we should get all assumptions well documented in the test plan.
Q-16. How will you tell if enough test cases have been created to test a product?
Answer. First of all, we'll check if every requirement has at least one test case covered. If yes, then we can say that there are enough test cases to test the product.
Q-17. What will you do when a bug turns up during testing?
Answer. When a bug shows up, we can follow the below steps.
- Run more tests to make sure that the problem has a clear description.
- Run a few more tests to ensure that the same problem doesn't exist with different inputs.
- Once we are sure of the full scope of the bug, then we can add details and report it.
Q-18. If a product is in production and one of its modules gets updated, then is it necessary to retest?
Answer. It is advisable to perform regression testing and run tests for all of the other modules as well. Finally, the QA should carry out the System testing.
Q-19. What is the difference between Functional Requirement and Non-Functional Requirement?
Answer. The functional requirement specifies how a product should run whereas a non-functional requirement represents how it should be.
Functional Requirements.
- Authentication
- Business rules
- Historical Data
- Legal and Regulatory Requirements
- External Interfaces
Non-functional Requirements.
- Performance
- Reliability
- Security
- Recovery
- Data Integrity
- Usability
Q-20. How comes the Severity and Priority relate to each other?
- Severity – Represents the gravity/depth of the bug.
- Priority – Specifies which bug should get fixed first.
- Severity – Describes the application point of view.
- Priority – Defines the user's point of view.
Q-21. What are different types of Severity?
Answer. The severity of a bug can be low, medium or high depending on the context.
- User Interface Defect – Low
- Boundary Related Defects – Medium
- Error Handling Defects – Medium
- Calculation Defects – High
- Misinterpreted Data – High
- Hardware Failures – High
- Compatibility Issues – High
- Control Flow Defects – High
- Load Conditions (Memory leakages under load testing) – High
Q-22. What is Entry and Exit Criteria in Software Testing?
Entry criteria – It is a process that should run when a system begins. It includes the following artifacts.

- Test-plan
Exit Criteria – It signals when the testing should complete and when should the product be ready to release. It includes the following artifacts.
- Test Summary Report
- Metrics
- Defect Analysis report
Q-23. What is test strategy?
Answer. Test strategy is an approach to carry out the testing activity. It covers the following.
- Roles and responsibilities for each member.
- Testing scope.
- Test tools.
- Test environment.
- Testing schedule.
- Associated risks.
Q-24. What is smoke testing and what is sanity?
Smoke testing confirms the basic functionality works for a product. It requires you to identify the most basic test cases for execution.
Sanity testing, on the other hand, ensures that the product runs without any logical errors. For example, if we are testing a calculator app; we may multiply a number by 3 and check whether the sum of the digits of the answer is divisible by 3.
Q-25. What is the difference between a Bug, Defect, and Error?
Answer. A bug is usually same as the defect. Both of them represents an unexpected behavior of the software.
However, an error would also fall in the same category. But in some cases, errors are fixed values. For example – 404/405 errors in HTML pages.
Q-26. What is the difference between High level and Low-Level test case?
- High-level test cases cover the core functionality of a product like standard business flows.
- Low-level test cases are those related to user interface (UI) in the application.
Q-27. What is the difference between Static testing and dynamic testing?
Static Testing.
- It is a white box testing technique which directs the developers to verify their code with the help of checklist to find errors in it.
- Developers can start it done without actually finalizing the application or program.
- Static testing is more cost effective than Dynamic testing.
- It covers more areas than Dynamic testing in a shorter time.
Dynamic Testing.
- Dynamic testing involves the execution of an actual application with valid inputs and checking of the expected output.
- Examples of Dynamic testing are Unit Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing and Acceptance Testing.
- Dynamic testing happens after the code deployment.
- It starts during the validation stage.
Q-28. What is Test Harness?
Test Harness requires configuring a set of tools and input data to test an application under various conditions. It involves monitoring the actual output with expected output for correctness.
Its benefits are as follows.
- Upward push in productivity due to process automation.
- Improve the overall product Quality.
Q-29. What is Defect Leakage?
Defect leakage occurs at the Customer or the End-user side after the product delivery. If the end user sees any issue in the application, then such bugs lead to Defect leakage. And this process of finding bugs is also called as Bug Leakage.
Q-30. What kind of document will you need to begin Functional testing?
- It is none other than the Functional specification document. It defines the full functionality of a product.
- Other documents are also useful in testing like user manual and BRS.
- Gap analysis is another document which can help in understanding the expected and existing system.
Q-31. Beside test case & test plan, what documents a tester should produce?
Answer. Here are a few other documents to prepare.
- Testing metrics
- Test design specs
- End-to-end scenarios
- Test summary reports
- Bug reports
Q-32. What is Business Requirements Document (BRD)?
Answer. BRD provides a detailed business solution for a project including the documentation of customer needs and expectations.
BRD fulfills the following objectives.
- Gain agreement with stakeholders.
- Provide clarity on the business requirements.
- Describe the solution that meets the customer/business needs.
- Determine the input for the next phase of the project.
Q-33. What is Risk Analysis?
Answer. Risk analysis is a technique to identify the things that can go wrong in a software development project. They can negatively impact the scope, quality, timeliness, and cost of a project.
However, everyone involved in the project has a part in minimizing the risk. But it's the lead who ensures that whole team understands the individual role in managing the risk.
Q-34. What is exploratory testing?
Exploratory testing is a process which lets a tester to concentrate more on execution and less on planning.
- It requires formulating a test charter, a short declaration of the scope, set of objectives and possible approaches to be used.
- The test design and test execution activities may run in parallel without formally documenting the test conditions, test cases or test scripts.
- Testers can use boundary value analysis to concentrate the testing effort on error-prone areas by accurately pinpointing the boundaries.
- Notes should be recorded for the Exploratory Testing sessions as it would help to create a final report of its execution.
Q-35. Can we do System testing at any stage?
Answer. No. The system testing should start only if all modules arc in place and work correctly. However, it should happen before the UAT (User Acceptance testing).
Q-36. Why is it impossible to test a program completely?
Here are the two principal reasons that make it impossible to test a program entirely.
- Software specifications can be subjective and can lead to different interpretations.
- A software program may require too many inputs, too many outputs, and too many path combinations to test.
Q-37. What is the primary difference between Debugging & Testing?
- Testing is to find out defects while using a product whereas debugging is to reach the part of the code causing failure.
- Debugging is isolating the problem area in the code done by a developer whereas Testing is identifying the bug in an application and done by a tester.
Q-38. What are the roles of glass-box and black-box testing tools?
Black-box testing.
It doesn't require the knowledge of internal design or code. So the tests are based on requirements and functionality. Black box testing focuses on finding the following errors.
- Interface errors
- Performance errors
- Initialization errors
- Incorrect or missing functionality
- Errors in accessing external database
Glass-box testing or White-box testing.
It requires familiarity with the internal design and application code. So the tests concentrate on path coverage, branch coverage, and statement coverage. It is expected to cover the following.
- All possible code flows of a module.
- Execute all loops.
- Exercise all logical decisions.
- Verify internal data structure to ensure their validity.
Q-39. What is GAP analysis?
Answer. Gap analysis reveals any deviation between the features available for testing and how the customer perceives them to be.
Traceability matrix is a testing tool which testers can use to track down the gaps.
Q-40. How do we know the code has met specifications?
Answer. Traceability matrix is an intuitive tool which ensures the requirements mapped to the test cases. And when the execution of all test cases finishes with success, it indicates that the code has met the requirements.
Q-41. Is it possible to achieve 100% coverage of testing? How would you ensure it?
Answer. No, it's not possible to perform 100% testing of any product. But you can follow the below steps to come closer.
- Set a hard limit on the following factors.
- Percentage of test cases to be passed.
- The no. of bug found.
- Set a red flag if,
- Test budget depleted.
- Deadlines breached.
- Set a green flag if,
- The entire functionality gets covered in test cases.
- All critical & high bugs must have a status of CLOSED.
Q-42. What are error guessing and error seeding?
Error Guessing.
It is a test case design technique in which testers have to guess the defects that might occur and write test cases to represent them.
Error Seeding.
It is the process of adding known bugs in a program for the tracking the rate of detection & removal. It also helps to estimate the number of faults remaining in the program.
Q-43. What is the difference between coupling and cohesion?
Answer. The difference between coupling and cohesion is as follows.
- Cohesion is the degree which measures the dependency of the software component that combines related functionality into a single unit whereas coupling represents the binding of related functionality into a different unit.
- Cohesion deals with the functionality that relates to different process within a single module whereas coupling deals with how much one module is dependent on the other modules within the product.
- It is a good practice to increase the cohesion between the software whereas coupling is discouraged.
Q-44. What is CMM?
Answer. The Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM or SW-CMM) is a model for assessing the maturity of the software processes of an organization and for identifying the key practices that increase the maturity of these processes.
Q-45. What is Cause Effect Graph?
Answer. It is a graphical representation of inputs and the associated outputs effects which assist in designing test cases.
Q-46. Why does software have bugs?
- Miscommunication.
- Programming errors.
- Timeline pressures.
- Change in requirements.
- Software complexity.
Q-47. What is Ramp Testing?
Answer. It is a testing method which proposes to raise an input signal until the system breaks down.
Q-48. What is Recovery Testing?
Answer. It ensures that the program must recover from any expected or unexpected events without loss of data or functionality.
Events could be like shortage of disk space, unexpected loss of communication, or power out conditions.
Q-49. What is Inspection?
Answer. It's a group review quality improvement process for the product documents. It focuses on the following two aspects.
- Product document improvement.
- Process improvement (of both document production and inspection).
Q-50. What is globalization testing?
Answer. Globalization testing concentrates on detecting the potential problems in the product design that could spoil globalization. It certifies that the code can handle the desired international support without breaking any functionality. And also, it ensures that there would be no data loss and display problems.

Maritime Rights was a regional protest that climaxed in the 1920s. Essentially a reform movement, it was triggered by the region's declining influence in CONFEDERATION and its inability to protect important interests in transportation, tariffs, port development and federal subsidies.
Coal miners at Bienfait, Saskatchewan, had joined the militant Mine Workers' Union of Canada in 1931. In September of that year they went on strike to win recognition of their union as a prelude to pressing demands for a restoration of wages cut by the local coal operators.
The Oka Crisis was a 78-day standoff (11 July–26 September 1990) between Mohawk protesters, police, and army. At the heart of the crisis was the proposed expansion of a golf course and development of condominiums on disputed land that included a Mohawk burial ground. Tensions were high, particularly after the death of Corporal Marcel Lemay, a police officer, and the situation was only resolved after the army was called in. While the golf course expansion was cancelled, and the land purchased by the federal government, it has not yet been transferred to the Kanesatake community.
The contents of the Québec values charter were unveiled on 10 September 2013, by Bernard Drainville, a member of Pauline Marois' Parti Québécois government and Minister responsible for Democratic Institutions and Active Citizenship. The goal of this highly anticipated charter was the creation of a secular society — a society in which religion and the state are completely separate. The result of numerous controversies in the media and in Québec society regarding reasonable accommodation, the charter encouraged religious neutrality by means of five "proposals." One of the proposals was a ban on the wearing of any visible symbol indicating a religious affiliation, including a turban, hijab or kippah, by public servants when they are providing services to the public. The charter sparked controversy in Québec and divided the Québécois. On 7 November 2013, Drainville officially tabled the bill (Bill 60) in Québec's National Assembly.
Amid the widening debate about the removal of the names and statues of controversial colonial-era figures from public places, The Canadian Encyclopedia asked a noted Canadian historian for his opinion on the subject. In this article, Ken McGoogan argues against both replacement and the status quo, and suggests a third option.
That stately building at the northwest corner of Hastings and Granville is known as the Sinclair Centre today. It houses federal offices, upscale clothing shops and a small mall. It was once Vancouver's main Post Office, the site of "Bloody Sunday," a violent Depression-era clash between police and unemployed workers.
The Windsor Ford Strike was a 99-day strike from 12 September to 19 December 1945 by 11,000 employees of the Windsor, Ontario, Ford Motor Company plant. Some 8,000 auto workers from other plants also participated. The Ford workers, who were led by the United Automobile Workers of Canada (UAW), demanded recognition of their union by Ford and mandatory membership for all plant workers. The strike was ultimately resolved through binding arbitration under Supreme Court Justice Ivan C. Rand and resulted in the widely used Rand Formula.
The Sir George Williams affair (also known as the Sir George Williams riot) took place in winter 1969, when more than 200 students decided to peacefully occupy the ninth floor of the Henry F. Hall Building at Sir George Williams University in Montréal. These students were protesting the university administration's decision regarding a complaint of racism that had been filed several months earlier by six Black students from the Caribbean. On 11 February 1969, to dislodge the students occupying the building, the police intervened forcefully, and the situation deteriorated, resulting in over $2 million worth of damage and the arrest of 97 people. The Sir George Williams affair is regarded as the largest student riot in Canadian history. For many observers and historians, it represents a key moment in the rebirth of black militancy in Montréal.
On 10 March 1957, the 1,000 workers of Gaspé Copper Mines in Murdochville, Québec, struck for the right to unionize. The conflict lasted 7 months and ended in defeat for the miners. Moreover, a 15-year judicial battle finally awarded the company $1.5 million in damages from the United Steelworkers of America ("Métallos" in Québec).

The UFC will come one step closer to crowning another title-contender in the company's still-developing flyweight division next month when John Moraga mixes it up with Chris Cariaso at UFC 155. Both men will enter the bout looking to extend already-solid winning streaks and are among the top 125ers out there.
UFC officials have confirmed the clash's addition to the card. The December 8 event features a headlining tilt between heavyweight champ Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez as well as match-ups between Joe Lauzon-Jim Miller, Yushin Okami-Alan Belcher, and Forrest Griffin-Phil Davis.
Moraga picked up an opening round knockout over Ulysses Gomez this past August, his sixth straight victory and first inside the Octagon. He holds an overall record of 12-1 with his only loss coming to the current #1 flyweight contender, John Dodson.
The 14-3 Cariaso has notched wins in his last three tilts including decisions over Josh Ferguson and Takeya Mizugaki.

This was a year when the Indiana livestock industry found itself battling restrictions both in the state legislature and at the local level. 2009 will be a year when the livestock producers will have to stay alert, not only for changes in the market but changes in their local communities. Greg Slipher, Livestock Specialist with Indiana Farm Bureau, told HAT animal agriculture is becoming a land use issue with county government in many areas of the state, "We live in a dynamic state where everyone has the opportunity to affect local rule and such is the case with livestock." He said there are upwards of 30 counties where livestock production is an issue. He said it behooves producers to be informed and attend the meetings to accurately represent the livestock industry.
Slipher said more than a dozen counties in the state do not have zoning regulations and these may be areas where livestock production becomes an issue in 2009, "These counties need to have an open and informed discussion about how livestock production fits into their community and into the plans for zoning." He said sooner or later these communities will have a discussion on zoning and livestock producers must be part of it.
Typically, these issues come before county plan commissions or zoning boards but, increasingly, local Boards of Health are getting involved, "We have had an incident in several counties where they have assumed it is their obligation to regulate livestock production beyond the scope of their authority," said Slipher. He said it is not a widespread issue but one producers must keep an eye on in their communities.
Slipher urges all who are involved in agriculture to be aware and be involved in 2009.

If you or someone you care about does not have health care, it's not too late to sign up for quality affordable coverage. But you'll want to act today. The deadline to get insurance is March 31.
After that, you'll have to wait until November 2014 to sign up.
Many of the people I've met have told me they were surprised at just how affordable Marketplace insurance can be. Six out of 10 uninsured Americans can get covered for $100 per month or even less — some a lot less.
Here in Kansas City, a family of four earning $50,000 a year can get covered for as little as $60 per month. A 27-year-old earning $25,000 can get covered for as little as $84 per month.
Security and peace of mind are just a click or call away. You may even find that you're eligible for assistance to lower the cost of your premium.
You can sign up 24 hours a day, seven days a week atHealthCare.gov (which is working smoothly) or at 1-800-318-2596. You can even get in-person help in your own community. Just visit localhelp.healthcare.gov and punch in your zip code. If you are a Spanish speaker, you can access our Spanish language website at CuidadoDeSalud.gov
and you can get in-person help in Spanish, too.
Join the five million Americans who have already signed up for a plan and the millions more who've learned they're eligible for Medicaid for this year.
Let me tell you about one of these people, a Missourian I know named Lynn Gardner Hinkle. A single mom of four boys, Lynn was paying $600 a month for health insurance.
She thought she was healthy, so she dropped her coverage. And then she was diagnosed with melanoma. Not only did she have to come up with thousands of dollars to cover the cost of the two surgeries she needed, she couldn't get new health insurance because of her diagnosis.
Eventually, she had to sell her house just to make sure she'd have enough money to cover the costs if she got sick again. But then she logged onto HealthCare.gov and found a quality plan she could afford that she says has been a "lifesaver" for her family. She told me she's encouraging everyone she knows who doesn't have insurance to sign on and get covered.
Before the Affordable Care Act, hardworking families in Kansas City had few real options. Even if you worked hard and took responsibility, you could still have the rug pulled out from under you if you or someone in your family got sick, had an accident or experienced another hardship. You could pay your premium dutifully every month, only to have your insurer refuse to pay for care when you needed it most because you hit an annual or lifetime cap in coverage expenses.
But today, here in Kansas City, it truly is a new day. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, there is choice and competition. In fact, you can now choose from 16 qualified health plans. Before the Affordable Care Act, many consumers had few if any real choices.
Unlike the old system, once you enroll, nobody can take your coverage away from you just because you get sick. And your insurance company can't charge you more just because you are a woman; being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition!
What's more, by law, insurance companies now have to cover health services like doctor's visits, prescription drugs, ambulatory care and hospital stays. Preventive care like cancer and cholesterol screenings are covered with no additional money out of your pocket.
But if you don't enroll by March 31st, you won't get this security that comes with a Marketplace plan – and you can't enroll again until this fall.
The good news is that security for you and your family is only a click or call away: You just need to sign up by March 31st if you want Marketplace coverage this year.
Don't delay, sign up today!
