Lovely break and an a really relaxing full body massage. Just the tonic for a hard working lady and her mum. The spa is set in beautiful surroundings and the hot tub is a 'must do'. It's wonderful sitting in the tub in the middle of beautiful scenery. The spa included access to the gym and fitness classes although on the days we visited there were no classes which was a bit of a disappointment. You could go to the gym and be set a challenge instead by a personal trainer, but I'm not really a big fan of the gym and had been more attracted to the deal as it mentioned access to classes. The pool was pretty shallow but the shower areas made up for that with plenty of options, from tropical to rain forest etc. The spa centre is welcoming although we did have to ask for our bathrobes which was a bit embarrassing, emerging from the changing room wrapped in a towel! Once we were kitted out, the day went really well and we loved it :)
Ashley, Preston
Beautiful spa. Perfect location, Staff were very competent however I felt they were snooty and looked down on me . While this is one of the most idyllic looking spas I have been to with some amazing treatments, I would not visit again because of the staff.
Hilary, Lancaster
Armathwaite Hall is in a breathtaking setting, the outdoor hot tub was amazing surrounded by the beautiful grounds. Staff were lovely, the 60 minutes massage was fantastic and the 2 course lunch was delicious (although not enough for my appetite, I could have eaten 3). The whole day was very relaxed and informal. The spa is spotlessly clean. I loved the Hush Room with the lovely day beds, perfect for a snooze after lunch!. I will definitely be returning, perfect!.
John Plaistow, Merseyside
From the moment we arrived to when we left, we were made to feel special and important, not just one of many guests. The facilities are superb and perfectly clean, the room, whilst a little small, was excellently appointed and fabulously comfortable. The bar is quintessentially British with its log fire and comfortable chairs...the restaurant is unstuffy, friendly and leaves you with a taste that needs to be lingered over coffee and a brandy in the drawing room...all in all far too short a visit, we will be returning in the very near future to enjoy all the delights this location has to offer.
Shirley Pattinson, Cumbria
My friend had book a spar day at Armathwaite Hall as a treat for my birthday we had an excellent day from start to finish the staff were very accomodating whilst showing us around the spar, all area's were exceptionally well planned and sparkling clean, lunch was delicous, our treatments were very proffessionally carried out, we were tucked up in the rest room afterwards which was heaven the only points to improve on an excellent day would be the towels would benifit from more fabric softener and slightly larger ones the classes advertized were not avaiable on the day due to insufficent guests to participate but we were more than happy to soak up the restfull atmosphere in the spar instead will certainly be returning.
There are hotel spas and hotel spas, and Armathwaite Hall hotel spa is just a little bit special, we think. The setting pretty amazing, in the Lake District, close to Bassenthwaite Lake and lovingly placed into over 400 acres of glorious parkland (and did we mention Skiddaw Mountain is close by, too?) It's not just the setting of this gorgeous stately home hotel that'll make you gasp in awe, though, the building is fantastic, with its oak-panelled rooms, terrace bar, 42 luxury bedrooms and views across the lake that will melt your heart. Come here for a spa day and you'll soon be back for more…
The spa here at Armathwaite Hall is as splendid as the surroundings, and there are ten comfortable treatment rooms to choose from, including a double for that shared spa experience. The treatment list includes delicious, indulgent offerings from Terrake and Comfort Zone that aren't on offer at every spa in the UK. That's not all - there's a selection of pools including a wallow pool, infinity pool and a hydrotherapy pool, aroma room, tranquillity room, experience showers and an outdoor hot tub that looks across the fabulous landscaped garden to induce a feeling of peace and calm while you bathe...
Fitness is also very well catered for here with a brilliant Life Fitness gym that contains everything you need to work out to your heart's content. You can go for a refreshing swim in the stunning infinity pool after you've done your cardio and toing routine, and then top it all off with a visit to the relaxing hydrotherapy pool to un-knot any last traces of tension that might be left in your muscles after a day in the spa...

Who Says You Can't Go Home Again?
I love going out to Rose Bells house. It brings back such wonderful memories of my childhood. I spent most of my Sunday afternoons there. I love that family. Sharla makes me smile. She is eternally young in her looks. Her voice has not aged. Rose still has those long sharp nails and that warm smile. Her voice is still one of the sweetest sounds to my ears. I remember spending afternoons in Lynda's closet with her Brite Lite and her Barbie stereo. I remember long walks on the country road. Lynda's little sister would be in tow. Leah was picked on unmercifully by us. Steve and Joe would be off on the farm somewhere doing what boys do. Karla and Sharla would be riding bikes. Our moms canning or cleaning something. Our dads working the farm. It is truly like going back home to step foot in that house. I hope they are satisfied with my work. I was a blessed child to have the Bells as a second family. I am equally blessed to be able to be a part of their life now.

Definitions for curiumˈkyʊər i əm
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word curium
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
cu•ri•umˈkyʊər i əm(n.)
a synthetic radioactive element produced from plutonium.
Category: Chemistry
Ref: Symbol: Cm 2
Origin of curium:
1946; after M. and P. Curie ; see -ium2
Princeton's WordNet
curium, Cm, atomic number 96(noun)
a radioactive transuranic metallic element; produced by bombarding plutonium with helium nuclei
a transuranic chemical element (symbol Cm) with an atomic number of 96.
Origin: Named after Pierre Curie and Marie Curie
Curium is a transuranic radioactive chemical element with the symbol Cm and atomic number 96. This element of the actinide series was named after Marie Skłodowska-Curie and Pierre Curie – both were known for their research on radioactivity. Curium was first intentionally produced and identified in July 1944 by the group of Glenn T. Seaborg at the University of California, Berkeley. The discovery was kept secret and only released to the public in November 1945. Most curium is produced by bombarding uranium or plutonium with neutrons in nuclear reactors – one tonne of spent nuclear fuel contains about 20 grams of curium. Curium is a hard, dense, silvery metal with a relatively high melting point and boiling point for an actinide. Whereas it is paramagnetic at ambient conditions, it becomes antiferromagnetic upon cooling, and other magnetic transitions are also observed for many curium compounds. In compounds, curium usually exhibits valence +3 and sometimes +4, and the +3 valence is predominant in solutions. Curium readily oxidizes, and its oxides are a dominant form of this element. It forms strongly fluorescent complexes with various organic compounds, but there is no evidence of its incorporation into bacteria and archaea. When introduced into the human body, curium accumulates in the bones, lungs and liver, where it promotes cancer.238
U.S. National Library of Medicine
A radioactive actinide with atomic symbol Cm, atomic number 96, and atomic weight 247. Thirteen curium isotopes have been produced with mass numbers ranging from 238-250. Its valence can be +3 or +4. It is intensely radioactive and decays by alpha-emission.

Talk about LONG-lasting!! This product has never failed me!! I have used this on my friends and even when I had to do prom looks for clients! They would tell me how their eyeshadow lasted them the entire night without a crease!! I always apply it under my eyeshadow, I like to use this even when I'm going for a natural look since it can make it last longer without letting me look dead later. The price is perfect for the quality of product that you are receiving and it will last you for a good year or so!
The fact that there are so many reviews for this product indicates a definite cult following. I have used this daily as my eyeshadow primer since 2009. It does what it says and helps eye shadow's staying power and longevity throughout the day. It brightens color and provides a superb base for shadow. Apply a light layer and let dry prior to applying eyeshadow. One pot lasts me almost a year. Apply the cap securely and it won't dry out. Highly recommended.

I have to say mine are some of the worse around and when I don't wear something to cover them up, people always ask me if I got any sleep or if I'm coming down with something, lol!I don't wear MAC foundations but I am guessing I'm in the range of NC35 and this does work pretty well with my skintone to provide a base for another concealer. I actually started just using this instead of an additional concealer and it seems to work just as well. I like the texture; thick but not too heavy and not so fine that I feel like it melts or gradually disappears.
This is just and ok product for me. I don't feel that It makes a difference at all in my eye look. I'll use this up, but I likely won't repurchase.
I love this and use it everyday as a base. Just to cover discolored eyelids and look polished. I don't feel like it's a great primer or the likes but use it alone as a cream eyeshadow.
If I could get my hands on the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Nude Pink or Just Beige then I'd probably pass over this. It's a bit on the pricey side for my budget.

Love this paint pot. It's the perfect flesh tone and I love that I can get out every drop of product. The price is good for what you get and it lasts a long time! I'd definitely recommend this!! One of my HG items!!

I really love and NEED MAC paint pots.
I'm one of those people who have to double up eyeshadow primers with paint pots to prevent creasing (otherwise, bye bye eyeshadow). So a paint pot is a staple in my makeup drawer, with Painterly getting the most use because it's the most natural looking on me.
It's thick and matte and pinky beige. Slightly too dark to blend into my natural skin color (I'm around a NC15), but this is never really noticeable, especially with added eyeshadow and highlight in my inner corners.
My biggest problem is that it makes my eyelids look dry on the normally soft inner portion of my lids, right above my lashes. Again though, it's not very noticeable and eye shadow helps blend out everything nicely.
Now if only it wasn't so expensive :/

Paintpot in Painterly VS Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place eyeshadow base:
PP more opaque, more solid base
EL feels silky and blends out almost to invisible
PP gives eyeshadows lots and lots of punch, colour payoff increases tenfold. This is my favourite way to use PP. Everything is more vibrant and stays colour true.
EL does this to a much lesser degree, yes colours look more pronounced, but nothing like PP.
PP spreads easily, little goes a long way, hard to overdo or underdo the amount and will still get a good finish.
EL goes on nicely but - for me anyway -- seems to 'ball up' if umm overworked for need of a better word.
PP can show creases but and again I speak from my own experience here, this has a lot to do with the application of eyeshadows placed over PP. Trial and error (hardly error..) will show you which e/s and brushwork is best for combinations. Some I find PP is best to sit and dry for a few minutes. Others I say get cracking and buff it in!
EL does give me crepey looking lids that make me look like I have granny lids at times..boo!!
PP on it's own makes my lids look refreshed and even, like skin without any dark shadowy tinge or redness.
EL on it's own doesn't really do much at all..it just tends to emphasize creases or crepey skin - well ok it is an improvement but you can do better with even MAC Llama eyeshadow to give a bare but even look.
PP wins hands down for me. But keep in mind how I have used both. I think I'm going to give the EL a test run with liquid eyeliners and wet/dry liners only and see how they hold up. Will update after tested properly work and play, night and day, sun and none.
Thought this might be helpful to those if you, who like me, wondered how the two compare.
I have owned both for ages and I would buy PP again but not EL, at least not at full price.
PP lipstick rating comments: this lasts for ages, would repurchase, love the glass and black packaging typical of MAC but tis heavy for traveling, good size opening for fingers or brushes if you prefer, one lippy off for price though cost per use is minimal so good value after initial outlay and considering it's amazing flexibility in my makeup repertoire, it's not so bad.
This is one of those products that until you use it, you wonder what the fuss is about. I was hooked from the moment a MUA at MAC showed me how to get some eyeshadows I owned to really pop - purples, greens especially look to die for. Some of my light, sheer nudes also take on a new look with PP underneath. It is a multitasking hero. I am tempted to try this as concealer around edges of my nose in winter even..but I have other products that work fine for that, I think it's worth testing a product to it's limits and I'm sure I've only just touched the surface of this little pot of genius stuff. HG status, because it makes everything else work so much better! Get a e/s with not much colour pay off, put this under and voila! Experiment and enjoy this Paintpot, I do.
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this product does deserve some recognition ! as someone who has not tried ALOT of eye primers and therefore, does not have anything to compare this product too, I find that it does the job..and it does it well !! I have had the same pot for quite some time and I do find that it hardens quite a bit over time (not sure if this is common or just mine), but it still is decent. also, for anyone with long nails this can be very annoying !!! other than that, I do often where this alone on my eyes (no eye shadow) and I have received several compliments (my skin is nc20) - it just provides a nice smooth surface for eyeliner ! not sure if I will repurchase but worth giving it a shot !
As I have aged I notice my eyelids are a wee bit more oily than in my younger years. I like how when I remember to use this, it keeps my eyeshadow from creasing!

Wigan Athletic 1-2 Rotherham United
Goals from Tom Lawrence and Alex Revell earned Rotherham their first win in 10 matches to pile the misery on fellow strugglers Wigan in the Sky Bet Championship.
The 2-1 result now leaves Wigan - one of the pre-season favourites for promotion - six points adrift of safety, extending their miserable run to one win in 17 matches.
Lawrence scored the opener for Steve Evans' Rotherham after a dreadful mistake by Andrew Taylor.
Wigan levelled just after the hour mark when Ben Watson headed home James McClean's...

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author De Caires, Sharon Garcao firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-07082011-133210 Document Title An investigation of the emmunomodulatory properties of Sutherlandia Frutescens and Hypoxis Hermerocallidea Degree MSc Department Pharmacology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr A D Cromarty Co-Supervisor Prof V Steenkamp Supervisor Keywords
- Human immunodeficiency virus
- Sutherlandia Frutescens
- Hypoxis Hermerocallidea
- Acquired immune deficiency syndrome
Date 2011-04-08 Availability unrestricted AbstractHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is currently the most significant infectious pathogen and the causative agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Unfortunately, due to lack of resources, delivery of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to countries where they are most needed, such as South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi and Swaziland, is limited and inefficient. Moreover, the short supply and high cost of antiretroviral drugs have caused researchers to turn to plants as prospective therapies in the search for alternative anti-HIV or immunomodulatory compounds. In an African context, traditional medicines are of great importance, not so much as an alternative to treatment, but in many cases as the only source of treatment. There are various South African plants used medicinally which possess phytochemical constituents that target certain mediators of inflammation and the immune system. In African regions where patients do not have access or financial capability to obtain conventional antiretroviral treatment, traditional herbal medicines are used as primary treatment of HIV/AIDS, regardless of the fact that the safety, toxicity and efficacy of these products are not yet fully understood and that a risk for adverse effects exists. Hypoxis hemerocallidea Fisch & C. A. Mey. (Hypoxidaceae) as well as Sutherlandia frutescens L. R. Br. (Leguminosae) have various effects on the immune system and due to claims about their immune boosting properties, they are two of the most common African herbal compounds being used for HIV management in South Africa. In this study, the immune modulating properties of H. hemerocallidea and S. frutescens were investigated in order to determine whether anectodal claims made about these plants could be supported. Differentiated THP-1 and U937 macrophages were treated with aqueous extracts of H. hemerocallidea and S. frutescens as well as with solutions of compound standards reputedly isolated from these plants such as beta-sitosterol, found in H. hemerocallidea, canavanine, pinitol and gammaaminobutyric acid (GABA) which are present in S. frutescens Cytotoxicity of the test compounds was determined using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl)-2,5-dephenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Antioxidant capacity was assessed using the Trolox equivalence antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and Oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC) assays. Determination of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentration in treated THP-1 and U937 cell culture supernatants was performed by ELISA. Concentrations of cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, TNF-á and IFN-ϒ) in treated THP-1 and U937 cell culture supernatants were determined by flow cytometry. Curcumin, a well-known immunomodulatory compound, was used as a positive control. Results of cytotoxicity assessments showed that H. hemerocallidea (0.1 – 1.9 mg/ml), S. frutescens (0.1 – 1.6 mg/ml), beta-sitosterol (0.2 – 25 ěM), canavanine, pinitol and GABA (1.5 – 200 ěM) were not cytotoxic to THP-1 and U937 macrophages and had cytotoxicity profiles comparable to that of the positive control, curcumin (0.8 - 25 ěM). The TEAC and ORAC assays showed different results in the antioxidant capacities of the test compounds. The purported antioxidant activity of H. hemerocallidea was confirmed by the TEAC assay with antioxidant effects equivalent to 0.2 mg/ml Trolox. Canavanine showed antioxidant activity equivalent to approximately 0.17 mg/ml Trolox and comparable to that of curcumin in the ORAC assay, suggesting its involvement in the inhibition of peroxyl radical-induced oxidation. Flow cytometry results showed that curcumin (20 ěg/ml and 10 ěg/ml) and beta-sitosterol (25 ěg/ml and 12.5 ěg/ml) reduced IL-1â and IL-8 production and significantly (p<0.05) decreased the production of TNF-á. This suggests that betasitosterol could indeed possess anti-inflammatory properties, with effects comparable to the known anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin in terms of cytokine profiles. Beta-sitosterol (25 ěg/ml) and pinitol (50 ěg/ml) significantly (p<0.001) decreased extracellular PGE2 levels in U937 macrophages by 233.4 pg/ml and 281.7 pg/ml, respectively and were the only two compounds showing greater reductions in PGE2 than curcumin. In conclusion, results of this study do not provide enough evidence to support all anecdotal claims about the 'immune boosting' properties of S. frutescens and H. hemerocallidea, but the compounds canavanine, beta-sitosterol and pinitol were found to have modulatory effects on certain aspects of the immune system.

Acer Extensa Laptop To TV
Hi, I have an Acer Extensa 4220 which has a S-Video output on the side, so i have bought a S-Video to Composite converter and and composite cable. It all fits correctly and plugs into the side of the TV. I have a Sony Bravia 50" HDTV with a composite input on the side. So i connect everything up and nothing displays on the TV on all AV channels. What should i do to make it work on the TV? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

You might think taxidermy is frightening or macabre, but if an animal is already dead, it can be an ethical way to celebrate the beauty of nature. Randall points out that it's a step away from the drab, IKEA-ized furnishings we've become accustomed to too. "There's a desperation to reintroduce character to our homes," she says. "Most of the animals we use are shot as vermin and their bodies either used as food for other animal or left to rot. By giving them a purpose, they become quite beautiful."

This is the most creative and awesome taxidermy art I have ever seen! I am speechless as to how beautiful these artworks are.
HarshaPandav December 16, 2011 at 12:05 pm
DISRESPECTFUL is the one word that comes to mind immediately.
Would this be considered "celebrating the beauty of nature" if you imagined humans in place of these animals?
I'm a designer AND an animal activist, and this is nothing less than revolting, arrogant, and disgusting in my eyes.
Paul Stratkona May 21, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Rat and squirrel lamps are certainly among the more unexpected lighting fixtures, that's for certain. It's good to know that the lamps are at least using reclaimed materials.

Earlier today iPhone5latest.com reported on Apple's increase in the smartphone market in the U.S., which wasn't a huge surprise given the smashing success of the recently released iPhone 4S. Now here's even more good news for Apple (and bad news for Android): the Apple iPhone and the rest of the Apple products are doing a better job of generating income for Google than Android is.
Based on figures released in a settlement offer that google provided to Oracle this week, Google made over $2 billion dollars from iOS devices like the iPhone between the years of 2008 and 2011. That's a $550 million average and a grand total of roughly $2.2. billion. By comparison, Google made less than $550 million from Android devices during that same time period–a truly small number.
Despite the competition between Apple and Google with the iOS and Android devices, the two companies do seem to be somewhat reliant on one another for profits. Google receives a lot of revenue from iOS devices through advertising on the device, while Apple seems to prefer Google as its search engine of choice on the iPhone. And iOS users tend to use both Gmail–a Google provided email service–and Google search far more than they use, say, Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Search. It's clear that for iOS users, Google is simply a must have.
What's scary about this staggering $2.2 billion number is it's likely to climb. The iPhone was only beginning to reach its true earning potential during the years of 2008-2011, and now that the iPhone is available in more areas than ever before, the number of iPhone users is sure to increase which means that revenue number will also go up. It wouldn't at all shock us to eventually see Google getting closer a billion dollars per year in revenue from Apple's iOS devices.
Does this mean Android's future is in doubt? Most certainly not, as Android still has a majority share of the U.S. smartphone market. However, it does mean that Android needs to start earning Google money pretty soon, as it wouldn't make financial sense for Google to support Android longterm if the venture isn't profitable.
And Apple? Well, it's just one more area where they have bragging rights.

Giants star Victor Cruz recently reached out to the family of one of the young victims killed in last week's Connecticut elementary school shooting.
6-year-old Jack Pinto was a huge fan of the receiver and was laid to rest wearing his Cruz jersey.
Cruz said meeting the family was extremely emotional, but he hopes it brought them some joy.
"For that brief hour and a half, two hours that I was there, they were happy to see me," Cruz said. "Just talking to me about football and talking about how big of a fan Jack was of myself, and how he would sit in front of the TV to watch me play. It was a sad moment, but I was just glad for the hour, hour and a half, they were able to escape for a little bit."
He was so moved by the shooting that Cruz wrote Pinto's name on his cleats and gloves before he took the field against the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday.

Graduation Gifts That She'll Actually Like
When it comes to gift-giving, one can never go wrong with money—especially for a recent grad. However, being a recent grad, I can tell you that spending the piles of cash I received on anything practical was not my first instinct. Looking back, there are many things ("things" being the key word) that could have been useful in my post-college life—that I didn't even know I needed at the time.
I've put together some gift ideas for the female grad in your life (this way to the boys' section) that she'll be thanking you for now—and for many months to come.
"Big Girl" Bags
If there's one thing that distinguishes a professional from a broke college kid, it's a nice bag. A simple, sleek black tote will make her look like a powerful young woman, even if she's carrying around a PB&J sandwich and smelly gym clothes.
It may be time to ditch the heart-printed wallets and tech cases, but these two options are proof that chic yet non-boring options actually exist.

Trying to spend as much time with DS as possible. Actually just took him to see his first movie in a theater the other day. He was so mesmerized. Then we took him to the fair the other day and let him ride the kiddie train and cars. Took him to his first museum a couple months ago.
I think I'm starting to freak out a little about how he is going to react to not being an only child any more.
Looking and interviewing for a nanny!! Hahaha....
But seriously, all of the above things sound like good plans! Movies, hot wings, fun things with DD, and getting financial life in order....all in the next 6 weeks. Now I need a nap.
6 weeks?! I have about 3!!!!
DH and I have a $100 gift certificate for the ipix movie theater. It's the one where they serve restaurant food and you sit in leather recliners. Totally the highest end movie experience! It'll be our last extra special date night before LO. so sometime in the next 4 weeks we are going. I will probably fall asleep in the super comfy movie seats
Emeraldeyed315:naps. lots of naps. haha
I have a bit more time that most of you ladies (being due at the end of August), but we have quite a lot of fun stuff planned!
Have a wedding to attend for good friends in a couple weeks
A couple concerts/shows in July - before I get into the final month
We'll probably to a few $3 movies and dinner date nights
A day trip to the Oregon coast
And I plan to get a couple manicures and pedicures as well as a couple prenatal thai massages before LO arrives. Oh, and lady-dates with girl friends!
Thanks for asking this! Hubby and I were just talking about what we could do. We both love the outdoors and I've been itching to get out and do something. It sucks being pregnant during the summer, when you are an outdoors kinda girl. I'd love to go camping or kayaking, but at 4 weeks from due date, I can't do much of anything. I needed some ideas. Maybe we'll opt for dinner and a movie also!

(BCN) Morgan Hill police arrested three juveniles in the rape and burglary of a 40-year-old woman on Saturday, a police captain said.
The incident happened after the woman had been drinking at a local establishment and called a taxi to take her home, Capt. Shane Palsgrove said.
The taxi driver enlisted assistance from a mother and teenage son to help him take the woman inside her house, Palsgrove said.
Later that evening the 16-year-old son returned to the woman's residence and raped her, Palsgrove said.
The boy then left the woman's home and returned with his 15-year-old girlfriend and her friend who all burglarized the victim, according to Palsgrove.
Officers later recovered the stolen property at the male juvenile's home, police said.
The three juveniles were arrested on suspicion of residential burglary, conspiracy and violation of juvenile probation, according to Palsgrove.
The male juvenile was also charged with rape of an intoxicated person, Palsgrove said.

Book Endorsements
Craig Detweiler, Halos and Avatars: Playing Video Games with God
The major story lines of this culture are being written, not on Hollywood's "big screen," but the small screens of video games. Craig Detweiler's superb collection of essays, and especially his introduction and conclusion, is best poised to answer our questions. Every parent, every gamer, every pastor needs to get this book asap. Your ability to connect to a digital culture depends on it.
Chris Spicer, No Perfect Fathers Here
Although it might only take a moment to become a father, it takes a lifetime of commitment to be a father. Our children are perfect gifts that make us want to never mess up at our one chance to be a father. So when our poor choices produce a negative result in our kids, a lot of dads begin to battle frustration, fatigue, fear and failure. Mistakes will be made, writes Chris Spicer. Yet, we can acquire knowledge and skills in the finer art of fatherhood and learn to handle our mistakes in a redemptive, rather than adversarial way-which is the point of this book. Written for real dads-imperfect dads with real struggles, failures, and successes-No Perfect Fathers Here is a roadmap on how to capably handle the role of a father in a positive manner. Chris celebrates fatherhood with ten characteristics of highly effective fathering and personal insight into improving ourselves as dads that come from his forty years as a father of four. Perfect fathers don't exist, but you can break out of the cycle of unsuccessful, even disastrous, parenting and have a favorable effect on your kids that will last them a lifetime!
John Blasé, Touching Wonder: Recapturing the Awe of Christmas
John Blase positions himself at the epicenter of The Bethlehem Bomb, and lets the shock waves shake, rattle and roll us through art, poetry, prayers, reflections, and Scripture. The magic of a musical "Winter Wonderland" is nothing compared to the wonder of this so-beautiful "Four Seasons Wonderland."
Andrew Farley, The Naked Gospel
How do you know a sailboat is maxed out in the wind? The author's wife, a sailboat captain, can tell you. It hydroplanes. How do you know it's hydroplaning? You listen for the hum. This book shows you how to open the sails of your life to the winds of truth, and to max out in God's Spirit. Read this book and hear the hum.
Douglas W. Ruffle, Roadmap to Renewal: Rediscovering the Church's Mission
"Doug Ruffle's Roadmap to Renewal is a compelling portrayal of Christianity's true identity as a roadside, not roadless, religion. Let this book restore your chu8rhc's roadworthiness by showing you how all roads to the future lead through mission." Link to order book from Cokesbury: http://www.cokesbury.com/forms/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=793693
Matt Woodley, The Folly of Prayer
Wherever one plunges into these eleven biblically landscaped pathways to prayer, the soul is set aloft and ablaze with the word the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal sewed into his coat and wore until the day he died after his prayer encounter with God: "FIRE."
Carmen DiCello, Truth in Balance: Doing Apologetics in a Postmodern Culture
Carmen DiCello gives us two books for the price of one: a usable, plausible apologetics for a post-Christian culture, and a hands-on but not high-handed fondling of the contours of truth that is packed with punch and bursting with passion.
Barry L. Johnson, Awakening Faith in an Age of Anxiety
This little book is a vast emporium of beauty. Wherever one goes in these calming, challenging "but now!" essays--the photographs, the prayers, the poems, the personal musings, the biblical probings--the imagination is set alight and the soul is set on fire.

Bill Isaacs, A Life Worth Living
A Life Worth Living is more than a book worth reading. It's a book worth a fortune to those wanting a roadworthy faith.

James A. Harnish, Strength for the Broken Places
Jim Harnish deftly explores God's quirky knack for doing the greatest work in our lives, not by means of our strength or around our weakness but straight through our brokenness. Read this book to bear and wear your scars as stigmata of divine power and blessing.
Suzette T. Caldwell, Praying to Change Your Life
The Church is in the midst of a massive power failure. Suzette Caldwell believes we've tried to be every kind of a Church but the one that counts: a praying Church. Here is a must-read book that moves prayer from a noun to a verb, and a high-octane verb at that, one that overpowers evil while it empowers healing and wholeness.
Phil Cooke, The Last TV Evangelist: Why the Next Generation Couldn't Care Less About Religious Media and What It Matters
If there's anyone out there who understands better the digital component of our Google world than Phil Cooke, I don't know who it is. "The Last TV Evangelist" might be better titled "The First Yellow Brick Road to a Digital Future." You'd be wise to get on it quick.
Jimmy Long, The Leadership Jump: Building Partnerships Between Existing and Emerging Christian Leaders
Looking for a bridge to the future? Take this one. When churches build a bridge by starting in the middle, the end result is a bridge to nowhere. Jimmy Long has traveled both sides, knows the depth of the divide that separates the banks of established churches from emerging ones, and is conversant in the current conversations on either sides of the scholarly chasms. This book will help you be a bridge-builder in your church, your family, and your community.
Alan Hirsch & Michael Frost, ReJesus: A Wild Messiah for a Missional Church
ReJesus will rock your world----and cause you to reJesus your life, reJesus your church, and reJesus your Bible. Expect 'reJesus' to become a mantra and a mobilization in the revitalization of Christianity in the 21st century.
Chris B. Hughes, The Porpoise-Given Life: Inspiration from the Cetacean Nation
Too many followers of Jesus look like they've been born in crab-apple season. Chris Hughes has produced a firecracker of a book to throw into every crowd of cranky, contentious, humorless Christians. Read The Porpoise-Given Life, and many times your mouth will fill up with one of the best sounds in the world: laughter. Am I the only one out there who wants to die laughing?
Matthew Woodley, Holy Fools: Following Jesus with Reckless Abandon
I loved this book! If you think McDonald's is a banquet, don't read this book . . .which serves up a literary feast usually found only in secular writers and laureates. Those wild and wooly desert fathers have never been in better hands.

Parasoft provides centralized management of organization-level and team-level policies for ensuring application security, reliability, performance, and maintainability as well
as complying with FDA, DO-178, PCI, and other regulations. Policies are easily deployed and customized for specific projects without compromising the integrity of the corporate
objectives. Policy management is centralized for simple access and policy application is automated for rapid scanning and reporting.
Organization/Team Policy Manager
Parasoft's policy manager provides a fast and easy way to ensure that policy enforcement is standardized both globally and locally. This can include a fixed set of organizational
policies, as well as subsets of policies customized to suit the needs of specific projects and teams. Policy configurations for thousands of desktops can be implemented or updated
once, then distributed to thousands of machines with a single click.
Rule Library
Each language-specific rule library (Java, C/C++, .NET, XML, etc.) provides configurable sets of hundreds of rules including specific (contextual) security rules.
Parasoft's rule library is the most comprehensive in the industry, and is constantly being extended. To help developers understand and achieve the benefit that the rules
deliver, we provide detailed documentation for each rule, including an explanation of the rule requirements and customizable enforcement parameters, the rationale behind
the rule, a sample violation, and an explanation of how to bring code into compliance.
Rule Configuration/Parameterization
Since goals and technologies vary from project to project, Parasoft allows teams to customize the logic of library rules to suit the unique demands of specific projects
and priorities. Rules are customized using GUI controls no coding or scripting is required. Moreover, rule names, descriptions, and severities can be matched to your
organization's policies, establishing a fully-customized policy management and reporting interface.
Graphical Rule Wizard
In the event that certain internal policies cannot be matched to library rules, Parasoft's RuleWizard provides fast and easy ways to extend the rule set. Custom rules
can be built graphically or generated automatically by providing code that demonstrates a sample rule violation. This flexible framework supports definition of even
the most complex policy requirements.
Parasoft defines, automates, and monitors a workflow that improves development productivity and forms the foundation for a sustainable quality process.
As quality tasks are defined and automated, process control guidelines are established to measure process progress as well as software quality. With monitorable
quality gates and thresholds throughout the SDLC, your organization and team can track progress and ultimately improve the software development process.
Quality Process Definition
Quality processes and tasks are defined in the system and the workflow associated with the process is automated. The organization's expectations around quality
tasks are visible and monitored. This significantly reduces the resources required to establish and maintain the quality process, resulting in increased team productivity.
Quality Process Metrics
Process control guidelines are established to measure both process progress and software quality. By establishing quality gates at specific points in the SDLC and
establishing quality thresholds, organizations and teams gain the ability to track progress and ultimately improve the software development process.
Tasks to support quality policies must be optimized so they can become an integral part of the team's existing workflow. The lack of automation, repeatability,
or consistency will degrade any quality initiative that the organization intends to deploy. Parasoft optimizes the workflow to ensure that the quality process
is both sustainable and scalable. For example:
Issue Prioritization
Results are reported as a prioritized task list to help the team focus their attention and resources on the issues expected to have the greatest impact on quality.
To ensure that the most critical policy violations are identified immediately and promptly resolved, Parasoft allows organizations to customize issue severities to
match their unique project needs and priorities.
Context Suppression
Context-sensitive suppressions allow teams to prevent rules from firing under specific circumstances where they do not apply. This reduces the level of noise,
ensuring that every violation reported is a real problem that should be fixed. Suppressions can be defined in the code to ensure they are always
visible when code is reviewed and modified.
Quick Fix
Parasoft Quick Fix automatically refactors code to conform with certain coding policies. This enables the development team to rapidly remediate many policy violations.
To help teams achieve and demonstrate regulatory compliance, we establish an in-line continuous quality process that ensures mandated practices are not only deployed across every stage of the SDLC, but also ingrained into the team's workflow.
Parasoft supports:
After each test, a list of tasks required for compliance is generated and prioritized. The responsible developers are notified immediately, and their assigned
tasks are distributed directly to their IDEs. Archived reports and trend graphs document validation efforts and quality improvements.
Parasoft's static analysis monitors whether code meets uniform expectations around security, reliability, performance, and maintainability—delivering real-time training based on corporate policy. By exposing structural errors and preventing entire classes of errors, this provides a foundation for producing solid code. Our static analysis includes static code analysis, data flow static analysis, and code metrics analysis. All are centrally managed and highly automated. Moreover, an automated framework is provided to ensure consistency across development languages, development teams, and third-party partners.
Parasoft's static code analysis monitors whether code follows industry-standard or customized rules for ensuring that code meets uniform expectations around security, reliability, performance, and maintainability. Over 15 years of research and development have gone into optimizing Parasoft's patented static code analysis engine and knowledge base. Our static code analysis solutions feature:
[ back to top ]
Parasoft's static code analysis can easily be configured to automatically monitor adherence to organization, team, and project policies for security, compliance, etc. The rule library includes hundreds of rules that deliver "out-of-the-box" monitoring of many common policy requirements. These static analysis rules can be customized as needed to match specific policy requirements, and the rule set can be rapidly extended to address even the most complex and unique requirements. Moreover, rule names, descriptions, and severities can be mapped to the organization's policies, establishing a fully-customized policy management and reporting interface.
In addition to enforcing organizations' unique security policies, Parasoft's static code analysis automatically identifies common security vulnerabilities with the most comprehensive static analysis rule set in the industry-across the industry's most popular technologies and platforms, including Apache Axis, WebSphere, Hibernate, servlets, Struts, and EJB 3.
Our static code analysis solutions are configured to deliver an instant assessment of compliance with PCI DSS section
6 security guidelines. This enables teams to rapidly assess the level of compliance without
spending time reading the PCI DSS specification and determining how the requirements translate to
code. We also provide an automated assessment of your risks regarding the most critical application
security vulnerabilities (as listed in the CWE/SANS Top 25 and OWASP Top 10).
With the click of a button, you can assess your code's vulnerability to:
Industry leaders have built an extensive knowledge base of guidelines for preventing the most serious and common software defects.
Parasoft's static code analysis provides expert code feedback in seconds by automatically applying the wisdom of gurus such as Kent Beck, Martin Fowler, Joshua Bloch, Scott Ambler, and Sun Microsystems.
Identifying and fixing the reported violations improves code security, reliability, performance, and maintainability.
To help developers understand and negotiate the unique pitfalls involved in working with certain technologies, Parasoft's static code analysis automatically monitors code compliance to technology-specific guidelines and standards.
Parasoft's static code analysis provides out-of-the-box support for preventing mistakes related to common technologies/frameworks such as Spring, Struts, Hibernate, JSP, EJB, J2ME, JDBC, JSF, Eclipse plugins, Google Android, and other mobile/embedded development environments.
Moreover, our flexible static analysis framework can easily be extended to support more specialized needs.
To help teams achieve and demonstrate regulatory compliance, we establish an in-line continuous quality process that ensures mandated practices are not only deployed across every stage of the SDLC, but also ingrained into the team's workflow.
Our static code analysis enables teams to rapidly assess the level of compliance to various regulatory standards—without spending time reading the related specifications and determining how the requirements translate to code.
Parasoft supports:
Moreover, our flexible static code analysis framework can easily be extended to support more specialized needs.
Each issue detected is prioritized, automatically correlated to the developer who introduced it, then distributed to his or her IDE with direct links to the problematic code. Eventually, developers start writing compliant code as a matter of habit. Moreover, through integration with the development infrastructure, results are correlated with requirements, bugs, and source code changes converting data into actionable information.
Archived reports and trend graphs document validation efforts and quality improvements.
Parasoft provides fast and easy ways to define custom static code analysis rules that prevent the recurrence of application-specific defects after a single instance has been found. By ensuring that the team does not make the same mistake twice, this significantly improves team productivity and product quality.
Parasoft Quick Fix automatically refactors code to correct violations of many static analysis rules. This enables the development team to make instant and effortless improvements to code security, reliability, performance, and maintainability.
Parasoft's static code analysis automatically detects and refactors both unused code and duplicate code. This results in a code base that is more maintainable and less error prone enabling more rapid responses to changing requirements.
In addition to analyzing Java files, Parasoft's static code analysis checks JSP, .properties files, and XML configuration files. This makes it easier to validate policy through static analysis for XML, .properties, JSP, and Java files in the same project with one product, one Test Configuration, and one analysis pass.
Parasoft identifies code that will be dangerous to run in multi-threaded environments—helping teams prevent serious problems such as deadlocks, race conditions, missed notification, infinite loops, and data corruption. In many cases, the dangerous code can be repaired automatically.
This proactive preventative approach is significantly more reliable and cost-effective than hoping
that runtime analysis alone happens to identify all of the threading problems, then trying to fix
them late in the process.
Parasoft's data flow analysis provides automated detection of runtime errors without requiring the software to actually be executed. This enables early and effortless detection of critical runtime errors that might otherwise take weeks to find. We statically simulate application execution paths which may cross multiple units, components, and files to identify paths that could trigger runtime errors such as resource leaks, SQL injections, and other security vulnerabilities. To simply defect analysis, a complete analyzed path trace for each potential defect is reported in the IDE, and automatic cross-links to code help users quickly jump to any point in the highlighted analysis path.
This ability to expose these errors without executing code is especially valuable for teams with legacy code bases lacking robust test suites or embedded code, where runtime analysis and detection of such errors is not effective or possible.
Parasoft data flow analysis enables you to find potentially crash-causing defects such as exceptions and resource leaks without having to create, execute, or maintain test cases. This provides a fast and easy way to identify reliability and performance problems without having to actually execute the application.
For security vulnerability detection, Parasoft's data flow analysis detects whether actual application execution paths could lead to injection vulnerabilities, XSS, exposure of sensitive data, and other vulnerabilities.
Automated unit testing can deliver a long list of potential uncaught runtime exceptions each of which could indicate either a real problem with the code, or an unrealistic test case. Parasoft's data flow analysis can be applied to determine whether the exceptions reported from unit testing are "real bugs" that could actually be triggered by available application paths. This feedback enables teams to quickly zero in on those unit test exceptions that pose real risks to application reliability.
Parasoft's data flow analysis can be applied to a large code base for fast, effortless detection of complex runtime problems. This provides a practical way to identify critical problems in a large code base when testing resources are limited. Moreover, data flow helps you audit the effectiveness of your quality policies. If proper quality policies are in place, no problems should be reported by data flow analysis. An issue detected by data flow analysis indicates that the quality policy was not comprehensive enough or was not applied properly.
Parasoft's code metrics analysis calculates a customizable set of industry-standard metrics, as well as identifies specific pieces of code that exceed industry-standard or customized metrics thresholds. This helps organizations identify brittle or overly-complex code that could impede agility or reuse.
Parasoft's metrics calculation capability provides organizations visibility into code complexity and the potential impacts of an anticipated code change. This enables them to make more informed decisions as to how to modify, refactor, and test it. Metrics calculations provided include Cyclomatic Complexity, Inheritance Depth, Nested Block Depth, and more.
Parasoft enables organizations to customize the boundaries and thresholds for available metrics so that team members are alerted when metrics are outside of the prescribed range. Leveraging this automation, the team is freed to focus on analyzing and improving the problematic code-tasks that truly require human intelligence.
Parasoft's automated code analysis checks code as it is written to prevent entire classes of errors and ensure that code meets uniform expectations
around security, reliability, performance, and maintainability. This typically relieves developers from having to perform line-by-line inspections
during peer code reviews, freeing them to focus on higher-level analyses that require human intelligence. With automated checking for
compliance to the team's and organization's development policies, the team can begin code reviews by discussing interesting findings from
the automated code analysis results, then move on to examining design, algorithmic, and implementation issues. This aspect of the peer
code review is supported by Parasoft's code review capability, which automatically identifies updated code, matches the code with
designated reviewers, and tracks the progress of each review item until closure. By automating critical workflow components, the
team gains more time to focus on inspecting and improving the code.
Parasoft automates and manages the peer code review workflow. Our code review capability-which
automates preparation, notification, and tracking of peer code reviews-addresses the known
shortcomings of this very powerful inspection method. It automatically identifies updated code by
scanning the source control system or the local file system, matches the code with designated
reviewers, and tracks the progress of each review item until closure. This allows teams to
establish a bulletproof review process where all new code gets reviewed and all identified issues
are resolved.
Teams who prefer to review only the the most dangerous segments of their code (for example, the
most security-sensitive or deadlock-prone areas of the code base) can easily set up such focused
reviews using the flexible configuration options.
For a code review process to be sustainable and successful, its essential that the workflow be as natural and unobtrusive as possible. Thats why Parasoft engineered an automated peer code review workflow where developers simply check in code as normal, then review packages are prepared automatically and distributed to the appropriate reviewers IDE. The only added work is the actual peer reviewa creative process that cannot, and should not, be automated.
Parasoft provides built-in support for the following typical code review flows:
Contextual Analysis
Although automated code analysis can identify many issues related to security, reliability, performance, and maintainability, it cannot detect functional defects: instances where the code is not doing what its supposed to do. This high-level error detection can only be achieved when the human brain analyzes code in the context of its requirements and available test cases. Parasoft aggregates these artifacts, reducing the barrier to entry for this irreplaceable analysis.
For a code review process to stay on track, it needs to be measured and actively monitored. Thats why Parasoft automates the process and connects it to Parasoft's reporting system providing objective answers to questions such as:
Parasoft delivers a complete framework to create, manage, and extract greater value from unit tests. We help you exercise and test an incomplete
system enabling you to identify problems when they are least difficult, costly, and time-consuming to fix. This reduces the length and cost
of downstream processes such as debugging. Moreover, since all tests are written at the unit level, the test suite can be run independent of the
complete system. This allows you to isolate code behavior changes, reduces setup complexities, and makes it practical.
To facilitate standardized testing and quality processes, our patented technologies automatically generate extensible, reusable test cases.
These test cases not only expose potential reliability problems, but also capture the code's current behavior to establish a baseline for
regression testing. You can incrementally improve the test suite's intelligence and value by extending the generated test cases.
Collectively, these test cases establish a safety net that alerts you when modifications impact application behavior.
Regression Baseline
If your team has a large code base with minimal tests or no tests, the fastest route to regression testing is to automatically generate a regression test suite that captures the code's current behavior and then run it daily to determine if code modifications break existing functionality. To help you achieve this, we scan the project code base, then automatically generate a baseline set of unit test cases that capture the code's current behavior. Then, we establish a continuous regression testing process which ensures that the impacts of code modifications are identified and addressed daily, and the test suite stays in synch with the evolving application. This provides a safety net that helps developers rapidly change code with confidence, which is especially critical for teams working on complex and constantly-evolving applications.
Exception Detection
By using corner case conditions, automatically-generated test cases check responses to unexpected inputs, exposing potential reliability problems.
Functional (Tracer)
Parasoft's Tracer technology provides a fast and easy way to create the realistic test cases required for functional testing. Simply use the application's UI or Parasoft's SOA/Web solution to execute the use cases you want to verify. Tracer automatically designs unit test cases with real data that represents the paths taken through the application. No coding or scripting is required. If the functionality associated with your "traced" use cases later breaks, you will be alerted by the failure of the related test cases.
The generated unit tests directly correlate tests to source code, which improves error identification and diagnosis, and allows developers to run these test cases without having to depend on access to the production environment or set up a complex staging environment. This facilitates collaboration between QA and Development: QA can provide developers traced test sessions with code-level test results, and these tests help developers identify, understand, and resolve the problematic code.
Parasoft provides a variety of technologies to help you extend your manually-defined and automatically-generated test cases, enabling you to increase their value with minimal effort.
Easy Extension
Parasoft automatically generates complete tests, including test drivers and test cases for individual methods/functions, in industry-standard xUnit formats. Developers can rapidly add additional tests (for verifying specific functionality and/or increasing coverage) by extending the automatically-generated tests. This allows developers to extend the test suite while writing a minimal amount of code.
Stub Creation and Management
Parasoft can automatically stub out calls to external resources or problematic methods/functions within the source code base. This relieves developers from having to write extensive stubs or mock objects from scratch. Using automatically-generated stub templates, you can define your own stubs for automatically-generated or user-defined test cases.
Object Repository
The Object Repository contains object inputs that can be used to increase coverage and make test cases more realistic and meaningful. It includes built-in objects, automatically-generated/"traced" objects, and user-defined objects. These objects can be used during automated test case generation or in user-defined test cases.
Test Case Parameterization
Test Case Parameterization automates the process of reusing a test with different sets of data. This allows teams to increase the amount of testing and coverage with very little effort.
Data-Driven Test Cases
Parasoft can use values from any of the following types of data sources for test case inputs as well as data validation:
Test Case Editor
The Test Case Editor provides a way for users to specify test cases without writing or modifying code. It is especially helpful if users want a convenient way to run the same user-defined test case with different method inputs (for instance, to better test functionality or increase test coverage). This saves time, simplifies work, and extends the range of testing.
Extended Execution Environment
Parasoft's extended execution environment centralizes execution and enhances reporting for all of your automatically-generated and manually-written xUnit-format unit test cases.
Error Assignment and Distribution
To promote fast remediation, each test failure or exception detected is prioritized, assigned to the developer who introduced the problem, and distributed to his or her IDE with direct links to the problematic code.
Debugger Integration
Developers can step through test cases with a debugger to better examine the code's internal state during a given test. For example, they might want to debug test cases to learn more about why an unexpected outcome was reported, or to determine why a test case failed.
Coverage Analysis
Parasoft's centralized reporting of coverage metrics helps teams gauge test suite efficacy and
completeness, as well as demonstrate compliance with test and validation requirements. In addition
to line coverage, we report decision coverage to help developers test relevant and important paths
through their code and find defects in the main use cases through their application. Coverage is
reported in percentages as well as graphically displayed via source code that is annotated with
line-by-line coverage details. Reporting options can be configured to alert users when a designated
coverage goal is not achieved.
Parasoft can automatically track and report the Java code coverage achieved for any level and type
of testing—including application-level tests driven by manual tests, scripts, and Parasoft SOAtest
as well as JUnit, Cactus, HttpUnit, and other tests.
Customizable Severities
To ensure that the most critical policy violations are identified immediately and promptly resolved, Parasoft allows organizations to customize unit testing issue severities to match their unique project needs and priorities. Results are reported as a prioritized task list to help the team focus their attention and resources on the issues expected to have the greatest impact on quality.
Exception Validation
Automated unit testing can deliver a long list of potential uncaught runtime exceptions each of which could indicate either a real problem with the code, or an unrealistic test case. Parasoft's data flow analysis can be applied to determine whether the exceptions reported from unit testing are "real bugs" that could actually be triggered by available application paths. This feedback enables teams to quickly zero in on those unit test exceptions that pose real risks to application reliability.
Design By Contract
If you use Design by Contract (DbC) to add specification information to your code, we not only leverage that information to create unit tests cases that are more realistic and meaningful, but also create functional test cases that verify the functionality described in your DbC contracts.
Parasoft also provides automated runtime and system-level monitoring by using Design by Contract (DbC) to verify whether system parts interface correctly after integration. We can instrument and compile code that contains DbC comments, then automatically check whether the specified contracts are violated at runtime. This monitoring verifies that classes and components work correctly and are used correctly at the system level. You prevent system-level errors, improve software reliability, and reduce testing/debugging time.
Java Environments and Platforms
Most development teams have a set of functional JUnit tests that they run frequently for a basic level of regression testing, but few have a regression test suite that is comprehensive enough to expose the many different types of problems that code modifications could introduce into today's Java EE applications. Since problems may originate within or across many different technologies and layers, effective regression testing requires a large scope and range of complex tests. Functional JUnit tests are the logical starting point, but are not sufficient for detecting the many different problems that can be introduced whenever a Java EE application is modified to add new functionality or even to perform routine refactoring. That's why Parasoft actively supports a wide variety of Java frameworks.
We automatically generate a large number of JUnit test cases that try to exercise all of the different paths through the code, then save the actual test case outcomes. These test cases essentially take an x-ray of the code's current state, capturing a snapshot of how it was operating at the time of the test case generation. By using corner case conditions, these automatically generated test cases also check responses to unexpected inputs, exposing potential reliability problems.
Parasoft's Spring framework unit test generation facilitates the testing of classes written for Spring. We automatically generate test code using Spring's own testing framework to help you test more of a Spring application than just its Java files. These tests will be able to detect more problems than plain JUnit tests could (e.g., bean Java classes and Spring application context xml references getting out of sync).
We can also automatically generate tests for server-side (in-container) testing.
Parasoft's Struts framework unit test generation facilitates the testing of classes written for Struts. We automatically generate MockStrutsTestCase for classes that implement the org.apache.struts.action.Action class. This allows you to test not only the implementation of your Action objects, but also your mappings, form beans, and forwards declarations.
We can also automatically generate tests for server-side (in-container) testing.
To facilitate in-container testing, we generate Cactus tests for Java EE classes and execute those tests in the container to simulate a realistic runtime environment. These extensible tests can pass real container objects (such as sessions, requests and responses) as inputs and validate server state at the end of the test (such as the redirect page).
During development, the tests can be executed on a local application server on the developer desktop. This allows early, development-level exposure of defects that might otherwise go unnoticed until QA, deployment, or production time, when it is more difficult and time-consuming to find and fix such problems. Later in the development lifecycle, these same tests can be run on the application server to verify that the code functions correctly in the staging and production environments.
Eclipse Plug-in Tests
Teams developing Eclipse plugins can use Parasoft's framework to execute their Eclipse plugin tests within their Eclipse plugin testing workbench. We can execute these tests within a new Eclipse process, then report coverage and results in the normal manner.
Easy Mock and ATG Dynamo
Parasoft Tracer provides special support for teams working with the ATG Dynamo framework for online retail applications. Mock objects are automatically generated using the open-source Easy Mock library.
Parasoft supports Test Driven Development with many different capabilities: both automated and assistive.
In general, an organization can specify any sequence of development tasks—including writing a test
for each requirement—within Parasoft Concerto. The preferred sequences of tasks are defined as "policy"
and Parasoft Concerto enforces the desired behavior via a process (or exception-based task notification system).
In other words, if developers perform the expected actions (as defined by the policy), then the system remains
passive and does not bother them. Notifications are generated only when actions don't align with policy expectations.
For details, see the white paper Test Driven Development with Parasoft Concerto.
Runtime error detection exposes critical defects that occur as the application is exercised.
This is key for efficiently identifying defects that manifest themselves only at runtime
(for example, file overwrites) and zeroing in on the root causes of the application crashing,
running slowly, or behaving unpredictably.
Parasoft can perform runtime error detection on complete applications (e.g. as manual or scripted tests are performed)
or while it executes JUnit tests. As the application executes, we analyze it—
applying a configurable set of dynamic "runtime rules" that verify the application's runtime behavior.
The rule violations reported indicate errors that actually occurred during execution. Thus, defects are reported
with unprecedented accuracy. Coverage metrics are tracked to help the team measure and increase the scope of their testing efforts.
Parasoft's robust reporting capabilities not only promote rapid defect resolution, but also support an auditable quality process by providing complete visibility into the team's efforts.
After each test/analysis run, Parasoft can automatically generate and e-mail role-based reports to managers, team leads, and developers. Reports are available in HTML, PDF, and custom format, and can be easily configured via GUI controls or an options file. Reports can include the high level of detail required for a truly auditable process; for example:
If any developer action is required (fix static analysis violations, address test failures, respond to code review suggestions, etc.), a task is generated, prioritized, and assigned to the developer who wrote the related code. The task is then distributed to the assigned developer's IDE with full data, cross-links to the related code, and a description explaining how to approach the assigned task. An e-mail notification alerts the developer to the assigned tasks.
Interactive Web-based dashboards with drill-down capability allow teams to track project status and trends based on results from Parasoft technologies as well as key process metrics (e.g., from source control, bug tracking, build, and requirements management systems). It correlates data from these sources to provide comprehensive and objective insight into application quality, team productivity, and project risk factors.

Parasoft empowers organizations to deliver better applications faster. We achieve this by delivering quality as a continuous process across the
SDLC not just QA. Our solutions promote strong code foundations, solid functional components, and robust business processes.
Parasoft Java Quality solution provides an automated infrastructure that delivers quality as a continuous process, allowing you to
ensure that quality is built into the code, then maintained as the code base evolves in response to changing business needs.
Parasoft Java Quality solution automates a wide variety of software verification methods (including peer code review, static analysis,
data flow analysis, and metrics analysis) in a way that ensures they are a natural part of each team's software development process.
By exposing structural errors as they are introduced and preventing entire classes of errors, it provides a foundation for producing
solid code. This initiates the continuous quality process, delivering greater productivity and significantly fewer software defects.
Parasoft Java Quality solution automatically builds and continuously executes a robust, extensible regression test suite that determines if
code modifications impact existing functionality. The test suite is designed to run independent of the complete system to isolate code
behavior changes, reduce setup complexities, and ensure that it is practical to execute on a daily basis. By providing a safety net that
alerts the team when modifications impact application behavior, it enables rapid and agile responses to business demands.
When error prevention and continuous regression testing are performed at the development level, QA and business analysts can focus on validating
end-to-end business scenarios, and even reuse existing test assets to achieve this goal. This enables your team to execute a more complete
audit of your business application. The result is a reduced risk of business downtime, ensuring business continuity.
SDLC quality metrics are fragmented across key systems such as requirements, build, and source control management. Parasoft aggregates and
correlates this system data, delivering a comprehensive view of your development processes. This process visibility facilitates continuous
process improvement, increasing productivity and reducing cost.
