Testing is one of the most important parts of software development life cycle. It is an element of software quality assurance and can be described as a process of running a program in such a manner as to uncover any errors. Testing also demonstrates that software functions appear to be working according to specifications, that behavioral and performance requirements appear to have been met. That test will be carried out when the system is complete. In this chapter, I test my simulation software with testing method. 8.1 Testing Testing is the process, which is used to uncover errors from software that are made inadvertently as it was designed and constructed. 8.2 Is the Test Important? If I examine the overall structure of software development,…
Continuous Integration is a process with which the code checked-in would be verified with an automated build. This would help the developer to detect the bugs/errors in the initial phase of software development. Continuous Deployment is a methodology with which the changes are built, tested and deployed for releases. Automation is the key for DevOps. With automation DevOps enables the team to efficiently communicate, collaborate and integrate with each other. Various tools used in the…
structural equations that describe the economic activity of each nation (Kawai & Wignaraja, 2010). Generally, the CGE model and database of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) find that FTA members retain welfare gains through trade creation whereas non-members suffer welfare losses because of trade diversion (Estrada et al., 2011). By applying the CGE model, I can derive the economic output and welfare effects of the FTAs and see how it affects the enhancement of ASEAN’s trade volume. My…
It is very difficult to compromise between twenty-eight states who have individual interests to benefit their own country. Since none of the countries desire to be burdened with any sort of crises, the funding of Greek debt and the distribution of refugees becomes significant issues. Therefore, the mistrust that exists between twenty-eight states in the Union has led to further challenges in European integration. In conclusion, the Group Video Assignment has provided students of POLS 3520 with…
by the press, which is in fact sometimes controlled by pro- EU parties. Both of the major and rival newspapers in France, criticized the United Kingdom for leaving the European Union. The more liberal newspaper Le Monde wrote the following after the Brexit vote: “We believe… that “Brexit” will release some of the darkest forces working European views today; regressive nationalism, arise in far-right protests, and here and there – threats to democracy.” Their conservative rivals, Le Figaro…
partnership aims to reduce or eliminate tariffs for all trade in goods and services as well as eliminate barriers for investment opportunities in the participating countries. The second element of the agreement is that it facilitates the development of production and supply chains. This part of the agreement specifies that when available supplies for production should come from participating partnership countries. This means that in the textiles industry, since China is not a member of the…
is. Europe and European identity are both social constructs, therefore abstract. These two ideas are imagined so there could be many conceptions on what these are. Europe may refer to a geographical entity and the people within it, or people who can identify with others for having common or connected pasts. European identity may refer to the plurality of cultures in Europe, a collection cultural, political, and economic ideas. Another complication is that identity is dynamic. It constantly…
Vertically integration, can be an important strategy, but often times it is difficult to implement successfully. Furthermore, if the company decides that the integration was the wrong strategy for the company, it can be very expensive to fix. According to Stuckey & White (1993), “vertical integration typically reduces some risks and transaction costs, but it requires heavy setup costs, and its coordination effectiveness is often dubious. However, a vertical market "fails" when transactions…
This competitive strength is unique to Masonite, as there are few vertically integrated door manufacturers in the world. Through strategic acquisitions since 2010, Masonite has enhanced its capabilities, and now controls the entire supply chain, including the design, production, and distribution of doors and glass panels. Management expects this vertical integration to result in cost synergies moving forward, with EBITDA margins improving from 10% in 2015 to between 14-15% by 2018. Masonite’s…
while controlling the costs, he “cut the prices; scoop the market;run the mills full”; and then “watch the costs and the profits will take care of themselves”(111). Carnegie was also among the first to use the method of vertical integration. He vertically integrated into his organizations all of the phases and processes of manufacturing. “He needed iron ore and coke,” and he bought a share of the Henry C. Frick Coke company in order to gain cheaper coke(130). He also “bought the Unity and the…
