Following are the 3 core directives of AngularJS.

1. ng-app : This directive defines and links an AngularJS application to HTML.


2. ng-model : This directive binds the values of AngularJS application data to HTML input controls.


3. ng-bind : This directive binds the AngularJS Application data to HTML tags.

We use SQLPASSTHROUGH options when we need applications to access data both in the front-end and back-end data servers with a single connection. SQL statements that cannot be executed in the solidDB front-end server are passed over to the back end. 

SQLPASSTHROUGH mode can be set as per session or per transaction. The connection between the front end and back end is made with a back-end compatible ODBC driver which is loaded dynamically in solidDB server.

Kano analysis is a systems analysis tool used to identify its impact on customer’s satisfaction based on 3 key areas: unexpected delighters, performance attributes and must have attributes.

ConstKeyword indicates that memory once initialized, should not be altered by a program.
Volatile keyword indicates that the value in the memory location can be altered even though nothing in the program.
Mutable keyword indicates that particular member of a structure or class can be altered even if a particular structure variable, class, or class member function is constant.

“In software testing, a test harness or automated test framework is a collection of software and test data configured to test a program unit by running it under varying conditions and monitor its behavior and outputs. It has two main parts: the test execution engine and the test script repository.”

The object need to be serialized when it’s sent over a network and when it’s state is saved. Exceptions which occur during serialization are:

a. transient fields

b. when the base class is serialized then only base class fields are handled.

c. static fields are ignored because they are not part of any state.

Advantages of 3G:

- Overcrowding is relieved in existing systems with radio spectrum
- Bandwidth, security and reliability are more
- Provides interoperability among service providers
- Availability of fixed and variable rates
- Support to devices with backward compatibility with existing networks
- Always online devices – 3G uses IP connectivity which is packet based
- Rich multi media services are available

Disadvantages of 3G:

- The cost of cellular infrastructure , upgrading base stations is very high
- Needs different handsets.
- Roaming and data/voice work together has not yet been implemented
- Power consumption is high
- Requires closer base stations and are expensive
- Spectrum-license costs, network deployment costs and handset subsidies subscribers are tremendous.

The Asynchronous Transfer Mode or ATM is a connection technology that works by transmitting data into organized 53 bytes (small) packages through a physical environment with a high efficiency. Packing data into small cells reduces transportation delay so the speeds reached by this technology are very high; it can reach even 10 Gb per second.
