Technology Questions

Bottom Up Approach:

The bottom up approach testing approach is carried out with the help of the test driver. The test driver calls a component to be tested.

The modules in the lower level of call hierarchy are tested independently. Then the next level modules are tested that call previously tested modules. This is done repeatedly until all the modules are included in the testing.

Bottom up testing stops when the top module in the call hierarchy is tested with all lower call hierarchy modules.

Top Down Approach:

The top down approach is carried out with the help of the test stub. Test stub are the dummy programs. The Stub is called from the software component to be tested.

Tests top layer of controlling subsystem first. Then combine modules that are called by the tested modules and test resulted collection of modules.

Do this until all the modules are combined and tested.

The differences in responsibilities are listed below:

- QA is concern for Process Quality and Programmers are concern for Product Quality.

- QA ensure that the processes used for developing the product of high quality where as programmers used these processes so that end product is of good quality.

- Processes are decided by QA. Programmers are supposed to follow the processes so that they can produce a good quality product.

- Any issue found during execution of process by the programmers is communicated to the QA so that they can improve the process.

Multiple inheritance is not supported directly but it is achieved through the concept of Interface

Bex stands for Business Explorer. Bex enables end user to locate reports, view reports, analyze information and can execute queries. The queries in workbook can be saved to there respective roles in the Bex browser. Bex has the following components: Bex Browser, Bex analyzer, Bex Map, Bex Web.

Set - Value is assigned to ActiveX Object from the form.

Let - Value is retried to ActiveX Object from the form.

Get - Assigns the value of an expression to a variable or property.

EIBRCODE

- GPRS provide gross data rate of 22.80 KBPS / time slot
- Voice uses only 13KBPS/ time slot and the rest is consumed by Error Correction Code
- Error connection code is utilized for detecting and correcting the transmission errors
- As voice is compressed, the usage of Error connection code is mandatory

Dealing with primitives as objects is easier at times. Most of the objects collection store objects and not primitive types. Many utility methods are provided by wrapper classes. To get these advantages we need to use wrapper classes. As they are objects, they can be stored in any of the collection and pass this collection as parameters to the methods.

Features of the Java wrapper Classes:

- Wrapper classes convert numeric strings into numeric values.

- The way to store primitive data in an object.

- The valueOf() method is available in all wrapper classes except Character

- All wrapper classes have typeValue() method. This method returns the value of the object as its primitive type.
