Technology Questions

TDD is an acronym for Test-Driven Development. TDD is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes an (initially failing) automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces the minimum amount of code to pass that test.

TDD is an iterative software development process where you first write the test with the idea that it must fail.

This is a different approach to the traditional development where you write the application functionality first andthen write test cases. The major benefit of this approach is that the code becomes thoroughly unit tested (you canuse JUnit or other unit testing frameworks).

A web application resides in the server and serves the client’s requests over internet. The client access the web page using browser from his machine. When a client makes a request, it receives the result in the form of HTML which are interpreted and displayed by the browser.

A web application on the server side runs under the management of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). IIS passes the request received from client to the application. The application returns the requested result in the form of HTML to IIS, which in turn, sends the result to the client.

PL/SQL exceptions are raised using the RAISE command. This command is used when exceptions are defined by programmer and not implicit exceptions.

Example:

Declare and raising an exception:

DECLARE

min_attendance NUMBER(4);

BEGIN

...

IF min_attendance < 10 THEN

RAISE short_of_attendance;

END IF;

EXCEPTION

WHEN short_of_attendance THEN

-- handle the error

END;

Verification: Verification is a process to ensure that the software that is made, matches the original design. In other words, it checks whether the software is made according to the criteria and specification described in the requirement document. It is to check whether you built the product right as per design. It is a low level checking. (It is done in walk-through meetings generally). It checked whether it is made accordingly to the design..

Validation: Validation is a process to check whether the product design fits the client’s need. It checks whether you built the right thing. It checks whether it is designed properly.
