Hi Folks,
Can you think of any disadvantages of White Box testing - other that the tester needs to know and understand the code (which may have a cost)?
Thanks,
The web-based application I’m currently working on is growing arms and legs! It’s basically an administration system which helps users to keep track of bookings, user accounts, invoicing etc. It can also be accessed via a couple of different websites using a fairly crude API.
The fat-client design loosely follows the MVC pattern (or perhaps MVP)…
From a blog post by Jeff Atwood of the same title, I can tell from personal experience that it's much more easier to grasp math after having worked professionally as a developer for a while. I appreciate math much more as I can see it's real world applicability.
Can you recommend any resources/books that can help become familiar and comfortable…
I have a situation here at work. We are redeveloping our basic architecture across the entire company.
Currently we have the following hierarchy;
SQL Database <= Stored Procs not allowed.
nHibernate
Classes to convert nHibernate into our own objects
Web Service <= for all external and [internal] calls.
Class…
Any suggestions for good, solid, bug tracking solutions that let me (and company members) document bugs in 1-or-2-click steps? Basically I grew tired of all the overhead Mantis brings in...
All I need is a list (do away with assign/status/priority/notes, phew! we're a small company!). I'm tempted to write it up in CakePHP, but before I do…
i am currently a mainly web developer, but is quite attracted to the performance and great integration with the OS (eg. Windows 7, Jump Lists, Taskbar Thumbnails, etc) something like WPF/C# can provide to the user, improving workflow and productivity. privacy and performance seems like a major downside of web/cloud apps compared to desktop…
Spring's 3.0 version is now GA release, before that they have launched 3.0 RC1, RC2 version Also, there was Spring 3.0 M2 version. What's the difference between GA, RC, M versions?
i am looking for a project planning tool that include features like a organizer, todo list, target * deadlines of projects.
since i am a developer, it will be good to have a tool that can also do modelling like UML/ERD etc.
i am also looking for something that can do note taking. something like a blog with code snipplets - so with…
I'm working fast and furiously on a new Haskell package for compiler writers. I'm going through many minor version numbers daily, and the Haskell packaging system, Cabal, doesn't seem to offer any tools for updating version numbers or for maintaining a change log. (Logs are going into git but that's not visible to anyone using the…
I need make an quick estimation on project (not sure we got):
It's an old banking CMS java web app:
Server: jdk5, weblogic 9.
Client: winXP, Ie6.
It was design only for use with ie6 but now we need make it also run well on new client: ie8,ie7 on win7. I understand the most difference is the client: DOM and CSS.
But my problem…
I want to distribute a cross-platform application for which the executable file is slightly different, depending on the user who downloaded it. This is done by having a placeholder string somewhere in the executable that is replaced with something user-specific upon download.
The webserver that has to do these string replacements…
Hi, I want to make an application that executes a remote script. The user can create a script (probabily a LUA script) then stores it in the server. Then he can uses an API for execute the script. I was thinking that API could be a webservice. So my questions are:
I need high performance to execute the script. So my first choice…
I've recently become interested in prototype-based OOP, and I've been playing with Io and Ioke. Distributing an application with Ioke is simple. It's on the JVM. Need I say more? However, I'm absolutely stumped as to how one would distribute an Io application, especially on Windows. It's not like you can have end-users compile Io…
I've got a moderately complicated application that has been developed primarily by me, and I'm getting ready to bring a few more developers in, and I'm thinking of various forms of documentation that might be helpful.
I want to communicate information about the directory structure/layout of the project so the new guys will know…
I have been meaning to make use of design pattern in PHP, such as the observer pattern, but that I have to recreate the observers' relationship each time the page is loaded pains me. As references are saved as a new concrete objects in session, there is no way to preserve relationships between subscribers and their observers…
Hi, is there any development environments that allow you to have one code base that can compile to Linux, Mac OS, and Windows versions without much tweaking? I know this is like asking for where the Holy Grail is burred, but maybe such a thing exists. Thanks.
Can you give examples how you used gSOAP and how well it was integrated in your existing architecture? Have you found development bottlenecks with gSOAP?
I want to start an open source project, but the rise in hosting sites leaves me a little paralyzed with choice. I know a little about several:
I never really liked SourceForge's UI but it still feels like the site I think of when I think "open source project hosting".
Google Code Project Hosting looks clean and useful but…
Looking for a tool I can use to do aspect-oriented programming at the assembly language level. For experimentation purposes, I would like the code weaver to operate native application level executable and dynamic link libraries.
I have already done object-oriented AOP. I know assembly language for x86 and so forth. I…
When I study about cloud-computing, I usually see these terms: on-premise, off-premise applications. I tried to search them on Google, but no luck. Can anyone please explain me these terms?
Thank you so much.
Hi
I am wondering if any Developer Conferences are coming up in Vancouver, BC, Canada in the next few months. I am particularity interested in Microsoft technologies(such as .Net, Visual Studios, etc)
Thanks
There are several utilities — all with different procedures, limitations, and target operating systems — for getting a Python package and all of its dependencies and turning them into a single binary program that is easy to ship to customers:

So ok I understand that UML diagrams help for the construction of a program, but when are they used? Are they needed before you start coding? do you need them so you know what you have to code? Or do you use them after you have coded the program?
