what web portal means?...

Portal

Web access point. A portal consists of web pages that act as a starting point for using the Web or web-based services. The word was first used to describe the sites of popular Internet access providers or search engines such as AOL, MSN and Yahoo! Later on, it was extended into the world of work, where a corporate portal or enterprise information portal acts as a starting point for employees or associates of an organization to access corporate information and applications. Portal software has become a distinct class of web server software that acts as a platform for deploying portals.

Chapter 10 : Delivering the System

This is for up coming lecture...

Delivering the System is more than just putting the system in place.It is also helping users to understand and feel comfortable with the system training and documentation.

10.1 Training

• Types of People Who Use a System
• User and Operator Functions
• Types of Training
• Training Aids
• Guidelines for Training

10.2 Documentation

• Considering the Audiences
• Types of Documentations
• User Helps and Troubleshooting
• Guidelines for Failure Messages

10.3 Information System Example

• Piccadilly System

10.4 Real Time Example

• Ariane-5

10.5 What this Chapter Means for You

Training and documentation should be planned and tracked from the project’s beginning. Training and documentation software should be integrated with the regular system software. All training and documentation modules and documents should take into account the varying needs of different audiences.

Today's Lecture

Hello everyone,

As mentioned by Pn. Badariah on Tuesday's lecture, go back and study on the testing issues, about the Testing Organization Illustrated. As we had to study on it, again, another quiz on today's lecture, which is to briefly explain about the testing organization illustrated and state the objective of each of the stage within the testing organization.

Define the objective of Unit Test
Define the objective of Integration Test
Define the objective of Function Test
Define the objective of Performance Test
Define the objective of Acceptance Test
Define the objective of Installation Test

- Plus, Pn. Badariah also mentioned to explore the text book and correct the slide 9.5 on chapter 9 about Acceptance Test as stated below:

• Pilot Test: Install on experimental basis
• Alpha Test: In-house test
• Beta Test: Customer Pilot
• Parallel Testing: New system operates in parallel with old system

- But, there is about a misspelled on the slide. The correction is as stated as below:

• Pilot Test: Install on experimental basis

1) Alpha Test: In-house test

2) Beta Test: Customer Pilot

• Parallel Testing: New system operates in parallel with old system

- Pilot Test itself is actually consist of 2 ways, Alpha Test and Beta Test.

Within one hour lecture today, we did the quiz for about 10 mins added with 5 mins extra, plus remainder of other mins we went through chapter 9 and finished up the chapter.

For next week lecture, we will continue with chapter 10. So as usual, do not forget to scan through and read the chapter that we are going to continue first before we come to class :)

Chapter 9 - Testing the System

Assalamualaikum...

Today we had lecture on chapter 9, Testing the System. However, we only learnt part of chapter 9 because Pn. Badariah had to dismissed the class early due to some reasons. These are part of the contents that Pn. Badariah explained during our class today :-

9.1 Principles of system testing
9.2 Function Testing
9.3 Performance Testing
9.4 Reliability, availability and maintainability
9.5 Acceptance Testing

Our lecturer told us to read 'Acceptance Testing' from the textbook because there are some mistakes in the notes on that topic. So girls, as a reminder, please read the textbook on page 448.

Anyway dont forget that we'll be having our 2nd presentation on the 9th of October 2007. So, girls...we need to proceed on our portal as soon as possible...

Thank you...

reasons on the implication of testing (Cyclomatic Complexity)

Reasons on the implication of testing (Cyclomatic Complexity)


The word “cyclomatic” comes from the number of fundamental (or basic) cycles in connected,undirected graphs [BERGE]. More importantly, it also gives the number of independent paths through strongly connected directed graphs. A strongly connected graph is one in
which each node can be reached from any other node by following directed edges in the graph. Program control flow
graphs are not strongly connected, but they become strongly connected when a “virtual edge” is added connecting the exit node to the entry node. The cyclomatic complexity definition for avoids explicit mention of the virtual edge.

Be Prepared
