Technology Questions

Walkthrogh: Very informal type of review or testing method. Done by peers, so its called peer review.

Inspection: very technical type of review or testing method, done by the highly technically sound people.

ASP.NET AJAX, mostly called AJAX, is a set of extensions of ASP.NET. It is developed by Microsoft to implement AJAX functionalities in Web applications. ASP.NET AJAX provides a set of components that enable the developers to develop applications that can update only a specified portion of data without refreshing the entire page. The ASP.NET AJAX works with the AJAX Library that uses object-oriented programming (OOP) to develop rich Web applications that communicate with the server using asynchronous postback.

strstr() returns part of a given string from the first occurrence of a given substring to the end of the string.
For example:
strstr("user@example.com","@") will return "@example.com".

stristr() is idential to strstr() except that it is case insensitive.

Function is an algorithm which can be used any where in the program when required

ilk Test is a Functional testing tool product of Seague software. It uses the language called 4GL(fourth Generation Language).

It has 2 components,
Silk Test Agent - Run on remote machine
Silk Test Host - Creating, Modifying, Viewing the scripts

Uses of Silk Test 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.

Definition: 3G, known as 3rd Generation, is a standard for mobile / cellular phones. It provides the services that fulfill the International Telecommunication Union specifications.

The application services of 3G include wireless voice telephone, mobile internet access, video calls and mobile television – all in a mobile environment.

3G allows simultaneous use of speech and data services
3G provides peak data rates of at least 200 KBits according to the IMT-2000 specification.
Mobile broadband access of several MBits to laptop computer systems, smart phones is provided by latest 3.5G, 3.75G versions.

3G standards:

UMTS:

  -  Universal Mobile Telecommunications System – One of the 3G mobile telecommunications technologies, also being developed into a 4G technology.
  -  Most common form of UMTS uses W-CDMA as an underlying air interface.
  - UMTS also covers Radio Access Network – UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN), and Mobile Application Part (MAP).
  -  Users are authenticated via USIM cards (Universal Subscriber Identity Module).

CDMA2000

   -  Also known as IMT Multi-Carrier (IMT-MC), uses CDMA channel access for sending voice, data and signaling data between mobile phones and cell sites.
   -  The standards are CDMA2000 IX, CDMA2000 EV-DOR Rev.0, CDMA2000 EV-DO Rev.A and CDMA2000 EV-Rev.B. They are approved radio interfaces for the ITU’s IMT-2000.

ArrayList and LinkedList both implements List interface and maintains insertion order. Both are non synchronized classes.

But there are many differences between ArrayList and LinkedList classes that are given below.

ArrayList    V/s     LinkedList ::

1) ArrayList internally uses dynamic array to store the elements.

                   Whereas

LinkedList internally uses doubly linked list to store the elements.

2) Manipulation with ArrayList is slow because it internally uses array. If any element is removed from the array, all the bits are shifted in memory.

                   Whereas

Manipulation with LinkedList is faster than ArrayList because it uses doubly linked list so no bit shifting is required in memory.

3) ArrayList class can act as a list only because it implements List only.

                   Whereas

LinkedList class can act as a list and queue both because it implements List and Deque interfaces.

4) ArrayList is better for storing and accessing data.

                   Whereas

LinkedList is better for manipulating data.
