Indian software outsourcing industry has grown to become world leader in Offshore Software Development. It has seen many different trends technology wise as well as ups and downs. Test driven Software Development also known as first test programming or first test development, is an approach that hinges on identifying and writing a single test prior to writing just enough functional code to break that test. In other words, it is a way to think through the design before one writes the functional code, although it’s not obvious from the name, in Software Development goal is actually one of specification, not validation.

While popularized Test driven Software Development in extreme programming defines two simple rules. The primary is that one should write new business code only when an automated test has failed. And secondary thing is that, it should eliminate any duplication that one finds. The deep explanation how these two simple rules generate complex individual and group behavior is as follow:

1) The Software Development must provide rapid response to small changes as one needs a fast compiler and regression test suite.
2) The design organically, with the running code providing feedback between certain decisions.
3) Write own tests code because one can’t wait 20 times a day for someone else to write for them.
4) Your Software Development designs must consist of highly cohesive and loosely coupled components to make the testing easier.

First of all, the quickly adding of code is just enough to fail. One can not write new functional code, even a single line unless; it has run a test without failure. The second important step involves running of tests; either all or some, see the new test failure. After that, make a little change to the functional code which is just barely enough to enable code to pass the successive tests. Next, while running the tests and, if one has lined up all ducks in a row, see them all succeeding, if something waddles out of place, one needs to repeat step three once again. In the fifth optional step, there is factorization of the code to remove any duplication in Software Development.

Test driven by Software Development is most significant benefit for efficiency in the real world. With the full suite being run several times a day, although there are larger systems out there, so this Software project makes it clear that test driven can work for nontrivial systems.

Replacement for Traditional Testing: Although test design in Software Development is a programming technique, you also gain 100 percent unit-test coverage for the code if that’s done correctly and perfectly, which is important by product. As with traditional testing, a successful test finds one or more defects, and when a test fails, one can make progress because they now know that it requires resolving the problem.

Replacement for Software Development Modeling: Verbal thinkers learn better from text than from drawings. Keep the team members in mind when one determines their choice of development approach. While the enhanced test design Software Development with modeling to great success, creating models with project stakeholders to help explore their needs and then moving on to a test-driven approach for implementation.

Aliases? I thought this is about IntelliCAD. And this isn’t the secret service or so. I know. But aliases have to do with IntelliCAD.

If you want to start a command, then you can click on a button in one of the toolbars. But you can also type a key in the keyboard.

Suppose you want to start the Line command. You can click on the Line button in the Draw 2D toolbar. But you can also press the L key.

Press the L key and press the right mouse button. Or the Enter key. And the Line command is started. You can now draw a line or lines.

The L key. That’s called an alias. It’s an alias for the Line command. There are many aliases in IntelliCAD. You can have a look at them.

Click on Tools in the menu bar and on Customize in the pull down menu. The Customize dialog box opens. In it are four tabs.

Click on the Aliases tab. You’ll see two list boxes. In the listbox at the left are all the aliases. In the other listbox are the commands.

Click on an alias in the list box at the left. The command that belongs to the alias will be highlighted in the list box at the right.

All the aliases are stored in the IntelliCAD program. But you can change that. Maybe you want to change an alias.

Click on the New button. The Alias edit box below the list box at the left will be activated. Here you can type the name of the new alias.

Next select a command in the list box at the right. And then lick on the Assign button. The command is now assigned to the new alias.

You can check what command is activated by using an alias. Click on the name of an alias in the list box at the left. The command is highlighted.

In the Customize dialog box you find the New button, the Delete button, and the Assign button. You know how you can use the New button and the Assign button.

The Delete button can be used to delete an alias. Select the alias in the list box at the left. Next click on the Delete button.

At the bottom of the dialog box are four more buttons. There you find the Close button, the Import button, the Export button, and the Rest button.

The Close button is clicked to close the Customize dialog box. You were doing something with aliases and now you want to go back to IntelliCAD.

Let’s first talk about the Export button. You have created your own aliases. And now you want to save them in a file.

Click on the Export button. The Select Alias File dialog box opens., In it you can give the alias file a name and select a folder.

The alias file can be saved in two formats. You can save it in the ICA format or you can save it in the PGP format. That’s an AutoCAD format.

This is how these files look. I only give the first five lines of each file. You can recognize the alias and the command that’s connected to it.

 ICA file[IntelliCAD Custom Alias File]nAliases=247 [Alias-0]Alias=3ALocalCommand=3DARRAYGlobalCommand=_3DARRAYPGP file; BricsCad Generated PGP file.3A,*3DARRAY 3DFACE,*FACE 3DLINE,*LINE 

Now the Insert command. You have created your own aliases. And you have saved them in a file. Now you want to use that file.

Click on the Import button. The Select Alias File dialog box opens., You can now select your alias file. It is opened and used.

All the aliases are generated by the IntelliCAD program. They are not stored in a file. And now you have created your own aliases.

If you want to go back to the way as generated by IntelliCAD, then click on the Rest button. The aliases you created are removed.

Aliases. As you can see. It has nothing to do with the secret service. It has everything to do with nIntelliCAD.

It is in fact a feature that is also found in AutoCAD. Some users prefer to use the keyboard to start a command. True. It’s quicker.

Pay cuts for CEOs? Sounds good to many rank and file workers indeed. CEO pay in the United States has outpaced the rest of the workforce and now the average CEO makes 300 times their counter parts at the lower levels. Let’s face it a company’s job is to make money and a public company’s job is to increase shareholders value and quarterly profits. If all the money is going out the top end then, we need to cut costs there. Performance based pay is one thing, but when a company is not doing so hot, why should the CEO be paid so much? Well if you are wondering that, then you are not alone, in fact you find some friends in this line of thinking at the top as well. Warren Buffet for instance and if you read his papers on Corporate Governance and essays you will see what I mean.

Today we are replacing manufacturing jobs with robots, which do not complain, call in sick or go on strike. We never have to worry about lifetime pension contributions, employee lawsuits or sexual harassment. In fact we do not even have to worry about on-going education, as we can simply pop in a new program into the robotic machinery to continue the efficiency needed in Finite Capacity Scheduling models.

Kicking the CEO out the door might be a very inviting idea, as the cost savings would be huge. Artificial Robots could make this a cost-savings reality made in heaven for investors. Cutting a CEO’s pay like Michael Eisner would have saved Disney and unbelievable amount in the 10’s of millions. What about the former Tyco, World Com, Adelphia or Krispy Kreme CEOs; now we are talking, but is it possible to program a computer to do what a CEO does? Well, it could be.

The computer would not need to take a vacation or have an Ego Complex, you could train it not to steal from the company and make sure its mission was appropriate for the delivery of on time, quality goods to the consumer and the lowest possible costs to the company for the best price scenario of what the market will bare, based on the demographic target market and volume needed to maintain and increase market share.

Sounds to MBA’ish; well, isn’t that what we do, train humans to think like that in our Business Schools? If it is only a matter of training and we all know human nature is not the best for all the parties previously mentioned then why not shit can the CEO for a robot? Besides if something goes wrong you can literally axe the robot for a later version right? Actually there are artificial intelligent trading programs, which work with a myriad of complex scenarios, which can beat out any human trader in the stock market.

There are also scientists working on robotic artificial intelligent programs right now to replace these CEOs. Is this a reasonable alternative to seat-of-the-pants, fearless leader, decision-making? Could be. Is it something a small business could use to make decisions too? Ask it a question and it pops out the answer. How about Non-profit groups like the United Nations, such a program instead of Koffee Anan would have prevented the Oil-4-Food Scandal?

These programs will make the need for organizational capital obsolete using data, complex modeling and better decision-making. If Big Blue can make a computer which can beat a Human in Chess, why not one which can beat out the competition, with their over paid CEO?

As a matter of fact lets downsize government. A smaller government saves taxpayers money and who need all those brain dead government bureaucrats anyway? Kick the whole lot out the door as one computer could take the place of 100’s if not thousands of the coffee pot sipping scoundrels in Washington D.C., you see there is a brighter future ahead. You just have to think outside he box. Think on it.

Ever make a cake? (If not, CLICK HERE to download one for FREE — just joking.)

When you make a cake, you take some of this, and some of that, and even a bit of the other. Then you mix all the stuff up into a big goop in a bowl. Finally, when everything’s in the mix, you pour it all into a cake pan where it gets cooked and shaped into the final product.

That’s what browsers are like.

A browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, is used to cook up and shape all the "stuff" it receives when you request a webpage. That stuff can include text, and tables, and images, and bits of information from a database, and Flash content, and Javascript actions, and a whole bunch of other things.

All the stuff sits on a computer called a server, and when you type in a certain domain name or webpage URL address into your browser, the server grabs all the stuff needed to assemble that webpage (that’s like mixing all the ingredients into a bowl).

Then the server sends all the stuff to the browser (that’s like pouring the cake mix into the cake pan).

The browser has the tough job of making sure the final product takes proper shape - this image here, that text there, this font, that size, this color, and so on.

And that’s why browsers are like a cake pan.

Here’s some FREE browsers you can download and use:

* Internet Explorer: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx

* Netscape: http://www.netscape.com/

* Opera: http://www.opera.com/

Although in my previous article I may have made mention to the disadvantages of using Windows Update, lately I have noticed other things about the software that give it both merit and further thought.

Recently I worked on my Dad’s new PC after he tried to switch the ram in his old one while it was on and wound up frying the mainboard, and I noticed a couple things about Windows Update. His girlfriend made sure that his copy of Windows XP home was completely up to date; installing just about every update that existed.

While I tried to explain to her that this was a somewhat paranoid way of protecting his PC, I noticed that without SP2 certain functions of his PC would be disabled, or not work as well as they should. You may notice this as well. For example, if you have a ATI Radeon card and would like the newest drivers - the manufacturer website recommends having SP2 installed as they work best with that platform.

Recently I was also working on a friend of the family’s PC. It was a IBM Thinkcenter PC; and his USB, audio, and VGA drivers were not working properly. This could be fixed easily with a motherboard system disk, but he didn’t have that. I visited the IBM website to get the right drivers, and it mentioned that the USB drivers were in SP2. As he had a pirated version of XP and could not download SP2, I had to install a stock version of SP2 I had with me.

After that, his USB port worked fine. So, to re-iterate: Windows Update is nessecary, most definetly, for updating to new service packs. Also, windows update is also very useful for finding drivers you might need for legacy devices and onboard devices. For more information related to finding drivers for legacy/onboard devices, refer to my guide on that topic.

Other then that - security updates - not all of them are completely nessecary. I will be writing an article on security updates shortly, so check back soon.

Making custom brushes is one of the easiest things in the world. Seriously! I don’t know why I’ve read some tutorials that make it out to be this multi-step, intimidating process. Creating your own brushes helps to customize both your artwork and the Photoshop work environment.

The Hard Part

"But … you said this would be easy!!" Technically, yes, but I’ve found that some people actually reach a little stumbling block when trying to think of what would make a good brush. Well, the short answer is ANYTHING! I’ve made brushes out of fuzzy leopard slippers, bananas, old trash cans, fabric swatches, dirt … hundreds of things. It helps to have a scanner and/or a digital camera … that really opens up your possibilities. Just a quick walk around your house might yield dozens of fun textures you can make brushes out of. But, even if you don’t have either of those, you can often snurch some good textures off the internet. Try a google search for marble tile and see what comes up. Sometimes you’ll get a nice big image to work with. I’m not condoning stealing someone’s art photos to rip a brush off with, but if it’s just a sample photo of tile, or fabric, or screen, or whatever, I think it’s perfectly fine … you’ll be drastically changing the image in the next steps anyway.

The Next Steps

Okay, so you’ve got some good textures then? Right, let’s make a custom brush out of ‘em! Open up your image in Photoshop. The first thing you’ll want to do is desaturate the image (Shift+Ctrl+U in PS7). Then cut and paste what you’ve got into a new layer. Now delete the background layer. Once you’re down to just the single layer, mess with the brightness/contrast until you get the desired effect (this will require you to think a little bit about how you might use the brush in the future - will you be wanting to use it as a ‘grunge’ effect … something more technical … etc. etc.)

http://www.jvmediadesign.com/blog/img/tutorials/brush_tut2.jpg (The desaturated image)

http://www.jvmediadesign.com/blog/img/tutorials/brush_tut2.jpg (After messing with brightness/contrast)

The Super Easy Part

Now that you’ve got the image looking like you want, you’ll need to create it as a Photoshop brush. Go to ‘Edit’ then choose ‘Define Brush’. Give your new brush a name and that’s it!! Easy, huh?

Saving All Your Hard Work

There are few things worse than having hundreds of cool brushes gone in an instant. It’s happened to me on one occasion where my hard drive fried out and I didn’t save all my customized Photoshop stuff. So I’m going to help you avoid any tragedies and tell you how to save your brushes.

Once you’ve got an amount of brushes made (I personally like to create ’sets’ of brushes that all kind of work together, or just happened to fit my mood that day!), go to ‘Edit’ then choose ‘Preset Manager’. A window with all your current brushes will pop up. You can click on each little square individually. What you’re going to want to do is shift+right click on the series of brushes you want to save. Once you’ve done that, click on ‘Save Set’, give the set a name and save it to your computer (of course these brush files are what you’re going to want to back up!). There, you’re done!

How To Get Other Custom Brushes Into Your Pallet

If you’ve found a cool brush set on the web and you’d like to use them, after you download the file (usually a zip file), you’ll want to extract them to your Photoshop/Brushes directory. To load a brush set in Photoshop, open the Brushes Palette (’Windows’, ‘Palettes’, ‘Show Brushes’). Select Load Brushes from the menu on the Brush Palette and choose your file. That’s it!

Historically, little thought has been given to creating or maintaining strategic architectures for business enterprises. As the competitive landscape continues to put pressure on organizations to be more efficient, the process of implementing unified Enterprise Architecture will become an essential part of any business. This paper covers the definition of Enterprise Architecture, provides a description of how it should be utilized to tightly couple business processes and goals to information systems, and how to create an architecture that is able to be supported.

Enterprise Architecture:

Enterprise Architecture is a tool that aids businesses by allowing managers to see and think about smaller functions within the whole of the business. A common phrase used to describe an Enterprise Architecture is a set of "living documents" that are short, simple, and easy to understand. Enterprise Architecture is a relationship between processes and goals that allow businesses to organize, assess, and implement changes based on a set of "blueprints." These blueprints vary based on what is needed. For example, a company setting up an Enterprise Architecture could have three, four, or five different sets of blueprints for various reasons, such as one for product assessment, one for consumer reports, and so on. Not only is Enterprise Architecture a set of blueprints, it is the actual work behind those plans. Implementation is required for the architecture to be built and maintained, as all the plans and actions must be integrated so that proper managers can view needed material in its relationship to other factors.

After building upon the blueprints and integrating all the processes and goals, the proper questions may be asked. These questions are what bring about change that may improve and maintain a business.

An Architecture Cycle:

When establishing an Enterprise Architecture, all aspects need to be incorporated into one place. It is this assimilation that allows managers to begin questioning. Often, this process is a cycle with four phases. First, an architect receives input about new strategies, goals, and processes that may not be performing properly. Next, the architect must look at any further implications and connect those to the received input. Third, the architect makes alterations based on the input and wider implications. Lastly, the process starts all over again. Overall, this cycle gives the architect the opportunity to assess all areas of the business, including some that may have been overlooked, and make changes that will best suit the organization.

Organizing Business Processes and Informational Systems:

Once organized, an architect will assess the alignment of business processes to informational systems. Simply put, an architect translates the information that is transferring from process to applications and vice versa. The architect determines if the results are in-line with goals, and so on. Proper organization allows the architect to translate and even determine where translation is needed.

Creating an Enterprise Architecture:

Enterprise Architectures are not developed in a day, and in order to set up an Enterprise Architecture, an organization needs to establish a series of steps.

The specifics of the individual Enterprise Architecture will differ among businesses. However, listed below are six general steps for creating an Enterprise Architecture:

1. Assess Current State & Agree on Deficiency:

To create an Enterprise Architecture, it takes one or more persons to determine the need for such an architecture. The Enterprise Architect, usually the one who suggests the architecture and ultimately builds it, assesses the different variables that demonstrate a need for change.

2. Select a Framework, Platform and Methodology:

The selected framework should fit the individual needs of the business, the goals and desired results of the organization, as well as a course of action that suits both the architect and managers.

3. Select Tools:

Keeping track of the integration of the processes and documentations may require the utilization of various tools. Appropriate tools will store all the information in a repository that will allow managers to access the needed materials.

4. Organize, Organize, Organize:

Whichever type of organization an architect chooses, it is important to remember that this is the most time-consuming and important step. One suggestion for a type of organization is Business Functional Domains & Sub Domains over a unified architecture. Another method for organization is to build the models of the existing system as they are improved

5. Utilize the Architecture:

Although the architecture may not be complete, the business should begin to use it. It is designed to fit the organization; therefore, the architect should make sure that the managers start to utilize its benefits as soon as possible.

6. Maintain & Build Upon the Architecture:

Once the foundation for the architecture is done, the business should maintain and build upon the architecture, and in order to do so, a methodology should be selected. A methodology will allow managers and workers to function with the same goals in mind, improving results. In addition to maintaining results, the right methodology allows a business to expand the architecture’s uses to fit the organization’s needs.

Initiating and Supporting an Enterprise Architecture:

When initiating an Enterprise Architecture, one must survey the existing environment, talk to representative users, read existing documentation, and study current systems. It is critical to seek inherent problems the enterprise has in accomplishing the tasks it needs to perform in order to be successful. This is accomplished by boiling down the potentially large amounts data gathered and abstract the findings into the conceptual diagrams. One must aggregate important policies and standards into a cohesive and broadly applicable guidance document. Applying some well-known patterns and a few of the favorite concepts will evolve working documents into drafts and eventually into the proposed architecture. Educated and armed, one is able to lobby superiors, peers, and subordinates to aid in implementing the architecture.

To support an Enterprise Architecture, certain tools are relied upon that will aid in the integration and execution of the architecture. These tools should provide the opportunity to view all diagrams, documentations, and processes. Although analyzing and designing processes are still left to be done, assembling and tracking the various relationships will be managed by using a tool.

On August 8 2005, Macromedia announced it’s release of Macromedia Studio 8. This was an improvement of it’s already popular MX2004 Version.

I have been using the new Dreamweaver 8 for the last few weeks and have observed noticeable improvements that I will describe here.

The first improvement that i noticed was the new top and side rulers. This is very helpful in lining up table and layers accurately.

Also, If you like to work with the code, Dreamweaver has a new feature where you can compress a certain line of code and hide it on the left hand pane. This allows you to hide code that you are not working with, and open it up at anytime if you decide to play with it.

One of the best new features is actually something I had a small gripe with in MX2004. In the previous version, when updating your site with the server, you had to sit there and wait while it uploads all your files. The new version fixes this. In Version 8, you can upload your entire site, AND continue working while your files upload in the background. This is a great new feature.

A couple of other new features and improvements worth noting are:

1. The new CSS Panel - Improved editing and working with your .css styles.

2. The ability to zoom in and out of your webpage.

3. A new coding toolbar

If you haven’t already, I would recommend getting the new version of Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. You won’t be disappointed. Dreamweaver comes with some great tutorials as well. If you’re not familiar with the program, I would suggest going through all the tutorials.

What’s the catch with discount software? Is it a scam? How come you can buy a popular software title having up to 20% discount of the initial price?

There are several popular titles, and I’m talking about all sorts of titles, that are used by millions of persons, around the Globe. A few months ago, anti-spy utilities were very popular. Everywhere you looked, there was a banner for an anti-spy tool. Then, everybody’s computers began to run slower, because suddenly, everybody wanted to optimize Windows registries and file system. SpeedUpMyPC and Registry Mechanic are only two of the available titles that can do this kind of jobs.

Today, we are bombarded with DVD ripping technologies. Products like dvdSanta, DVD Ripper or Xilisoft DVD Ripper are all over the net. I am pretty sure they are very good, because millions bought them.

There are several ways you can buy software:
* Click on the "order now" or "buy now" buttons within the applications.
* Follow the links from the help files.
* Search for the order pages on the product website.
* Take one of the discount offers from a software archive.

Most of the vendors encourage software archives. As you know, a software archive is a collection of freeware and shareware, games and utilities and many other categories. If one program has a free-to-try version or a demo, you can download it from there. You can also buy it directly from the archive.

Not many software archives offer discounts, because they reduce the revenue per unit sold. The affiliate (software archive) has a 10- 40% commission on every sale. If he reduces the price with 5 % on his website, then his profit is 5 - 35%. Then he has to rely on quantity to raise profit, because his profit per unit is decreased. The most common situation is the "fifty-fifty deal": the affiliate site offers a discount equal to half the commission. So, if the commission is 40%, the software archive keeps 20%, and the buyer keeps 20%.

Actually, this is a win-win-win situation. The buyer is happy because he saves 20% of the product price. The vendor is happy because every sold unit means more money to him, and more possibilities to improve his business. And, of course, the affiliate is satisfied because he has some profit, and a happy customer is a returning customer that might buy something else.

You just have to be careful when buying software online. Don’t purchase from strange looking sites. Don’t follow "amazing deals" that offer over 50% discount. I am not familiar with any vendor that would give away more than 50% of the price to a reseller, and you have to keep in mind that the affiliate has to earn something too, or the commission would have to be even higher!

I recommend CoreDownload http://www.coredownload.com/ , a software archive with all the popular titles and up to 20% discount of initial prices.

Author Info: Ted Peterson writes for CoreDownload http://www.coredownload.com/ - Download essential games and utilities. Purchase online having up to 20% discount of the initial price for popular titles like dvdSanta, SpeedUpMyPC and more.
