Product Info
Lock Folder XP is a new security tool that lets you lock your files, folders and drives with your personal password. Now nobody but you can access your most sensitive information. Locking folders, files and drives also effectively protects you from malicious programs, such as viruses, worms and trojans. Here is how Lock Folder XP works - all you have to do is to drag file or folder you want to lock to Lock Folder XP window, and the rest is done automatically. Now your data is protected, hidden and can not be accessed without entering your personal password. It is critical to have effective protection from unauthorized access, since over 80% of reported security breaches come from within the organization, not hackers! Locking files, folders and drives is the best way to guarantee that nobody accidentally or intentionally gets access to your financial, health, private or confidential information. And since locking your files, folders or drives makes them invisible, they can not be deleted, damaged or harmed in any other ways. Even if a virus gets introduced to your system, your locked folders will not be detected, infected or harmed. This and others innovative and reliable technologies provide the safest way to store your information well protected against hacker attacks, malicious software and dishonest employees. But don't think that Lock Folder XP can only be used in the corporate environment - this application is perfect for home as well. We also advise you get Lock Folder XP if you have a laptop and travel frequently. After all, if your notebook gets lost or stolen, you don't want strangers to see your financial data, credit card or social security numbers.

The Good Wife began as the story of a woman who stood in her husband's shadow – but after five-and-a-half seasons of surprises and shockers, Alicia Florrick and her husband have switched roles.
Alicia (Julianna Margulies) has attended many public events to support her husband Peter (Chris Noth) as district attorney and governor, but now that she is running for district attorney herself, she's the one asking for a show of support.

Julianna Margulies and Costars Raise More than $75,000 for Sandy Victims

Just call it The Do-Good Wife.
Julianna Margulies and the cast and crew of The Good Wife teamed up with St. Bernard Project – a non-profit organization that helps disaster victims repair the extreme damage to their homes – donated $77,185 to the charity and rolled up their sleeves to do some hands–on work.
"All of us on the east coast remember that terrible day and the aftermath of its devastation," said Margulies, 47, standing with costars Chris Noth and Josh Charles outside of Sandy victim Margaret McNulty's home in Rockaway Park, N.Y., on Saturday. "One year later communities are still suffering."
McNulty's home, with the entire basement and first floor destroyed by Sandy flood waters, was just one of 6 homes the cast helped fix up that afternoon.

But for award-winning actress Julianna Margulies, the oral sex scene written for her and Chris Noth on The Good Wife elicited a much more dramatic (and, um, believable) response.
"The first thing that went through my mind is, 'Oh dear God, how are we going to film this?' Then, 'Oh God, my father's going to watch the show,' " the actress, 45, tells More in its April cover story.

So how will it all wrap up on Tuesday's second season finale?

Chris Noth's Big Talk About Romancing Women

Starring as the object of obsession in the ultimate chick flick and TV series, Sex and the City, Chris Noth knows a thing or two about women.
Having reprised his role as Mr. Big, now married to Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw, in the big screen's Sex and the City 2 (opening May 27), the actor, 55, tells May's Redbook (on sale April 20) that when it comes to romancing his fiancée, the actress Tara Wilson: "I always think it's the little things that count … There are a million romantic little things I do."
For instance, says Noth, "Love letters were a big part of my romantic life when I was younger. I feel sad that we're living in a culture that doesn't write letters anymore – it's a lost art. It's something that adds dimension to the romantic life. Emails and texts just don't cut it."

My credit rating is 581, is this why??
4 thoughts on "What is the average cost of closing on a home refinance loan and why is it so high? I being charged $6500!?"
An average figure would be meaningless. The cost depends on many factors, such as legal fees, stamps, title insurance, whether the loan includes points, prepayment penalty on the old loan, etc. You can ask for a complete breakdown of all costs before you sign anything. If any part is not clear, ask to have it clarified. Some items are required by law, some by the lender, and some may be optional. If the loan is for $ 50,000, the amount is too high. If it is for $ 500,000 it may be very reasonable.
Most of the refinance charges vary with the size of the loan. There are a lot of people that have to get paid, and not all of the closing costs are really "costs".
You have the bank charges, and these can vary from zero to 2% of the loan.
Then you have "prepaid" items, including interest to the end of the month, and the amount they want to hold in the escrow account to pay your taxes and insurance when due; these can be several thousand dollars, but that's still your money, even after closing.
Then you have the attorney fees, including the title search and title insurance, and filing in the Land Records, and probably plus the cost for the closer to send the docs back in the overnight mail.
Your credit score impacts the loan availability and the interest rate, it doesn't impact the closing costs so much.
Closing costs vary greatly by lender. There are some that are fixed figures, but the rest is tied to the loan amount.

I began to dwell on the fact that I was the grandson of someone named Cohen: an Orthodox Jew, an impoverished, used-cement-bag dealer from Chicago. Of course, I had no idea of what an Orthodox Jew was, of what a used-cement-bag dealer did. But I wanted very much to know. So, gradually, imperceptibly...I began to feel impelled to search for a link between Jake Cohen's world and mine."
When Paul Cowan, now 42, began to examine this fragile thread to the past, he was a prep school student at Choate, a proper Connecticut boarding school and alma mater of John F. Kennedy. His everyday life at that time was hardly Jewish. "I was often stirred by the hymns we sang in chapel," he recalls. On such Christian holidays as Easter, Paul, whose father, Lou, was president of CBS-TV, would return to the family home on Park Avenue in Manhattan; there the dinner fare was likely to be a decidedly unkosher repast of ham and sweet potatoes.
Now, a quarter of a century after he first began pondering the disquieting ambiguity of his Jewish heritage and WASP-like existence, Cowan has written a book about his quest. An Orphan in History is a moving account of his search for his Jewish roots and his eventual embracing of Judaism. Neither Cowan nor his publisher, Double-day, had any illusions that the book would be a blockbuster. Yet An Orphan in History is now in its third printing, and many readers, judging from Cowan's mail, appear to be non-Jews. "It's an American, not just a Jewish, story," he says. "It's the story of millions of immigrant families...of Jews, Italians, Irish, Greeks and Hispanics who sacrificed an enormously important treasure, their history, to become part of a melting pot."
Cowan's story might never have been told were it not for the efforts of Ken McCormick, a former editor in chief of Doubleday who encouraged Alex Haley to write Roots. "It seemed to me that Paul had an important story to tell," says McCormick, 77. He urged Cowan, then as now a roving reporter for Manhattan's weekly newspaper the Village Voice, to submit a proposal for such a book to Doubleday. The company liked the idea, and Cowan settled down to a two-year writing effort.
His story begins with his ancestors, a distinguished line of German and Lithuanian rabbis, and moves on to the members of his immediate family. Lou Cowan, who had changed his name from Cohen at age 21, produced hit radio and TV shows such as The Quiz Kids and The $64,000 Question. So guarded was Lou about his Jewish past, writes Paul, that "he never let my brother and two sisters or me meet any of his relatives." Paul's mother was the former Polly Spiegel, a member of a wealthy Chicago mail-order family. At one time the Spiegels had even followed the Christian Science religion to fit more comfortably into Kenilworth, a gentile Chicago suburb.
Growing up with Lou and Polly, says Paul, "I knew I was Jewish, but I didn't know what that meant." Yet he does not blame his parents, who were deeply affected by the Holocaust, for shielding their children from the specter of anti-Semitism. "In my father's day," he says, "wearing a yarmulke on a train would have been considered a provocative act."
Given his upbringing, Paul had no hesitations about marrying a New England Protestant, Rachel Brown, after his graduation from Harvard. Together they joined the civil rights movement in the 1960s and also served with the Peace Corps in Ecuador.
Later, as a Village Voice reporter, Cowan interviewed the radical priest Daniel Berrigan and covered the trial of the Harrisburg Seven, the clergymen and nuns who had been charged with conspiring to raid draft boards. Envying their "rooted faith," he later began the search for the tradition of his ancestors, visiting synagogues on Manhattan's Lower East Side and studying Jewish theology and practices with Rabbi Joseph Singer. It was the death of his parents in a 1976 Manhattan hotel fire that accelerated the search. At the Jewish funeral, Cowan met a cousin who gave him the names of many relatives he had never known. Cowan later traveled around the nation to establish contact.
Today he is a committed Jew, as is his wife, who converted two years ago. Rachel spends much of her time as an unpaid program director at a small neighborhood synagogue that both Cowans are helping to revitalize. Paul attends religious services four or five mornings a week before turning to his Village Voice writing duties. Their children, Lisa, 14, and Matthew, 13, are both taking instruction in Judaism.
For Paul Cowan, the consuming spiritual journey has given him contentment as well as a broader sense of identity. "I feel more Jewish," he says. "But I feel more American too."

The ergoCocoon from ergoPouch is a revolutionary new way to swaddle your baby! Made from super stretch organic cotton, this zip up swaddle helps baby to feel safe and secure while letting them move their hands into a more comfortable position without waking up.
Some babies like to be swaddled but prefer to sleep with one or both arms out. The poppers at the arms of the ergoCocoon allow for baby's preference and also make it easier to transition babies into arms-free sleeping when the time comes. When both arms are out the ergoCocoon becomes a sleeping bag.

So I'm sitting here, staring at the clock, checking blogs and hoping beyond hope that this day speeds up a bit until he's here and then comes to a grinding halt.

Sometimes you need to just step away and really see what is going on around you. I have days where I wonder what I did before having constant access to the internet. I hope that your weekend hiatus brought you some clarity!Katehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-66764171538286082212011-09-04T18:36:20.753-07:002011-09-04T18:36:20.753-07:00I shut off my FB account a year ago.

I miss it sometimes, and do feel a bit out of the loop at times( like I have no idea if my friend has had her baby or not : ) but it was a huge time sucker for me...so it had to go.

I have serious issues with the computer. It's not so much the amount of time I spend, but the compulsion I have to constantly be checking my e-mails and Blogs. It's what I do to detach and decompress. Which isn't totally bad in and of itself, but I don't like the way if makes me feels, and I want enjoying my kids to be my priority not trying to seek away every second I get.

My hubby and I are praying about getting rid of the internet altogether, and just going to the library with our lap top to check e-mail and use the internet when necessary. I know that's pretty drastic, and not doable for many, but I think I'm ready for this kind of change.

While my hubby is on a business trip this week, I am completely unplugging. Like he's taking my laptop with him, and password protecting our home computer. I want to take the week to REALLY enjoy my kids. To be present. And truly enjoy being their mama!Melodyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-77325396528156375792011-09-04T09:04:22.684-07:002011-09-04T09:04:22.684-07:00I can't wait to see how it went for you.

With the start of school and sports, I have no choice but to be away from the computer and phone more. I am finding that I am not missing it as much as I thought I would. I enjoy talking to the other parents at sports practices. I like hearing about my kids' day while we do homework. We're in a bit of a routine and that is good and I don't want to mess it up with too much computer time.

And honestly, weekends I rarely get online for more than 30 minutes unless I'm looking for something.

After having the foresight to co-author the book "Information
Architecture for the World Wide Web" in 1998, Peter is looking
forward again to understand how we'll reconcile the timeless
principles of design and organization with new transmedia models
of interaction, co-creation, tagging, and user participation.
His article "Information Architecture 3.0" [1] drew heated
reactions, and soon he'll bring these ideas to New York in a
workshop [2] to examine how integrating product developmen
So, this whole discussion about making clickable wireframes got me
thinking about something. As I'm working through my book,
interviewing a number of people from different backgrounds, I've come
across 5 different types, or purposes perhaps, for prototype:
1. As a common communication platform–using them to get everyone on
the same page, avoiding misinterpretation of ideas, using them as a
method to show and tell.
Hello all,
I'm in the process of designing my first major "thick" application( yay! ),
and have run into something of a brick wall in figuring out how to prototype
it. It's a fairly smart client that is less for creating content and more
for managing it, with a database backend. I'm comfortable with paper
prototypes, but I know at some point I'm going to need to go beyond that.
The problem is I don't know how far beyond paper prototypes I need to go.
Same format at (static) wireframes, but done in html with all
clickable navigation and intra-copy links leading to the appropriate

I just wanted to let everyone now that Michael Arent, Nevin Berger and I
wrote a book on the practice of effective prototyping, it is published by
Morgan-Kaufman (Elsevier) and is currently available at both physical and
online bookstores.
Our book is written in three parts. The first part covers the Effective
Prototyping process.
I'm curious as to how members of this list prototype "web 2.0" sites. How to make a prototype for user testing short of actually making a functioning site?
I currently work with Axure RP (on web 1.0 sites) and feel that it might not be the best tool for the job, but I can't think of anything better at the moment either.
Björn Simonson
I'm curious what people are doing to prototype drag and drop
interactions. Do any of the currently available prototyping tools,
such iRise and Axure, provide drag and drop? Is using HTML and
JavaScript the best option? Is Scriptaculous
worth a look?

Rosenfeld Media is proud to announce that Todd Zaki Warfel has begun
work on
a book on developing prototypes. "A Practitioner's Guide to Prototyping"
will help you quickly flesh out your design ideas, test your
and gather real-time feedback from users. The book will discuss how
prototypes are more than just a design tool, demonstrating how they
can help
you market a product, gain internal buy-in, and test feasibility with
development team.
Todd is a founding partner at Messagefirst, where he focuses on
design-research for consumer and b2b products.
I am looking for a tool that would essentially allow me to make a "paper
prototype" that I can share with a remote participant. I have been
using DENIM (http://dub.washington.edu/denim/)- which does everything I
need. I am looking for an alternative because of performance issues.
Any recommendations?
How do those of you who don't actually write code that is eventually used in
the build (both front-end and back-end) communicate your designs and
interaction models?
Here are two possible options-
1. Static mocks (accompanied with documentation for details)
2. Interactive mocks- HTML/JS, Flash, Prototyping tools like Axure (with
little or no documentation- most interactivity defined by prototype)
We currently use static mocks as a part of the design document, behavior
described in tables adjacent to the mocks.

Debugging Javascript In Internet Explorer
Internet explorer has always been a programmer's nightmare. You have finished a wonderful looking site, full of javascript effects just to find out that it doesn't work in Internet Explorer. Its a real pain in the neck to find out which part of the script is causing errors in Internet Explorer.
In Firefox, we have tons of debugging option including the default error-console, firebug, etc which are very good tools. But in IE, the default error reporting mechanism shows wrong line no. most of the time, so its pretty useless.

Paris Hilton is releasing her album Paris on Tuesday, though for the 25-year-old hotel heiress, socialite and star of The Simple Life, making music is nothing new, she reveals.
"When I was little," she tells Blender magazine for its September issue, she was forced to practice piano, violin and guitar "every day ... since I was 11. My mom made me."
All the practice seems to have paid off: Of her new album, she tells the magazine: "I, like, cry, when I listen to it, it's so good."
Already, her breathy, reggae-infused single "Stars Are Blind" has climbed to the top of Billboard's dance music chart, and her producers are waxing enthusiastic about how hard-working Hilton is.
"She would sit for hours and not ask for a break, and she never gave me one bit of attitude," says Kara DioGuardi, who worked on three tracks with Hilton (and whose credits include Ashlee Simpson's "Pieces of Me").
Hilton says she had DJs at clubs play cuts from the album without revealing the artist, to test reactions.
"People go crazy," she says. "They love it. Everyone's like, 'Who is this?' I don't tell. Because I don't want someone putting their phone up and recording it and making a ring tone off of it. I think when people don't know it's me, they won't judge it. But if they know it's me, then they'll be like, 'Ugh.' They won't even dance."
Hilton, who recently told British GQ magazine that she was taking a vow of chastity for a year ("I'll kiss, but nothing else"), also tells Blender that she's just a girl who can't say no – when it comes to the constant attention from fans asking for pictures and autographs.
"I think people expect me to be this bitch snob," she says. "But I'm really nice, and I feel bad if I'm mean."

Badgers are going to be In Like Flynn
Los Angeles - While waiting for the Rose Bowl parade crowd to vacate, I'm sitting here, like everyone else in Wisconsin, wondering what the Packers will get for Matt Flynn now.
Good for Flynn. He deserves a to start somewhere because he's better than about a dozen quarterbacks in the NFL. And with a high draft pick in exchange for his services, the rich get richer.
It's easy to figure out why nobody here cares about the NFL. It was 70 degrees today, nary a cloud, so who wants to watch football when you can be at Zuma Beach or something? »Read Full Blog Post(9)

Video: What's on my mind: Packers-Giants, Fielder
In his latest CineSport video, columnist Michael Hunt discusses the Packers matchup with the Giants and whether or not Prince Fielder will sign anytime soon.
Obviously, you can win with Vernon Davis
If the Packers beat the Giants, look out for this bunch. One storyline will be the Mike McCarthy-Alex Smith thing, but that's old news. The 49ers can do a whole lot more than tackle.
What a great game. (2)
Pregame thoughts with Joe Philbin
Green Bay - Keep looking down on the field and all I can think about is Joe Philbin.
I've never noticed the Packers offensive coordinator's pre-game routine before. I'm sure today's is the same as before any game He stands near midfield and watches his players. He moves to the goal line when the offense begins running through plays. Only this time, people come up to Philbin to put their arm around him.
You keep asking yourself what you would do in his situation. If it were me, I'd rather keep my mind busy than sitting alone with those thoughts.
The one thing you hope as a parent is that you outlive your children. (3)
To franchise or not franchise Jermichael Finley?
One of the worst mistakes a general manager can make is stretching out a contract on a player and being stuck with the guy. We see that all the time in the sports where contracts are guaranteed.
But another bad mistake is giving up on a guy too soon. You never want to see a player go elsewhere and blossom, so sometimes you exercise extra patience, especially if he is a left-handed pitcher. Around here, it's called the Manny Parra syndrome.
Which brings us to Packers tight end Jermichael Finley, one of the players being held most responsible for the embarrassing loss to the Giants in the playoffs. In that game, Finley, as he had for part of the season, dropped too many footballs. There was one instance where he stretched out, got his hands on the ball - which means he should have caught it as an NFL player - and looked back at Aaron Rodgers like maybe it was the quarterback's fault. »Read Full Blog Post(17)
Video: What's on my mind - Packers, Brewers
In our latest CineSport video, Michael Hunt talks about what is next for the Packers, including if Jermichael Finely and Donald Driver will be back in 2012, and who will play first base for the Brewers this season.
Local family fretting about possible Super Bowl match-up
They would be the Harbaughs.

Weighing Prince's options
When Nolan Ryan says "you never know," at least to me, that means you know.
One of the greatest pitchers/competitors of the last few generations is naturally big on gamesmanship. He's trying to get Prince Fielder at a price now that the market is dwindling for the first baseman's services.
I thought along that Texas would be a natural fit for Fielder. But there's no reason for the Rangers to pay Scott Boras princes in terms of length of contract and dollars when the Rangers might be bidding against themselves. They got themselves into a mess like that years ago with A-Rod, against Doug Melvin's wishes.
Good luck to Fielder. Texas would be a good place for him since the Brewers have crossed the Rubicon on Fielder. (5)
Stephen Jackson, another ill-fitting piece
This isn't just a Bucks problem. It's a league-wide thing because most of the trades in the NBA are swapping problems for problems.
And they're usually big salaries. Disgruntled veterans who have had problems everywhere. Often, teams believe a chance of scenery for the player will help. Often, it does not.
The Bucks had to get rid of Corey Maggette because he was a locker-room problem. Plus, he wasn't exactly helping them on the court. He was one in a long string of big-salary players who have come and gone from the Bucks' revolving door. That's because you have to match salaries dollar-for-dollar in NBA trades. »Read Full Blog Post(19)

Steelers-Giants should have more than a preseason feel
Things I think...
- We all know winning in the NFL's preseason is overrated. Even the coaches tell us so.
But the intensity could -- and should -- be a little higher than normal for an exhibition opener when the Steelers and Giants meet Saturday night at MetLife Stadium.
Both teams had miserable preseasons in 2013 -- the Giants were 1-3 and the Steelers even worse at 0-4 -- en route to missing the playoffs, each for the second year in a row.
Saturday is a fresh chance for the Steelers and Giants -- both largely revamped over the past two seasons -- to show the four Super Bowl titles they've combined to win over the past nine seasons don't represent an archived era.
Very little that happens inside NFL stadiums in August constitutes must-watch stuff. The first quarter or so of Saturday's game should be an exception.
- The mighty NCAA isn't what it once was. Not even a few months ago.
Within a matter of weeks, the all-powerful NCAA could decide to pull back significantly on its overly-punitive sanctions against Penn State's football program, including potentially allowing the Nittany Lions to participate in the postseason this fall.
If that happens, it will follow on the heels of this week's near-unanimous vote to grant the five power conferences autonomy in writing many of their own rules, including stipends and insurance benefits for athletes, staff sizes and recruiting guidelines.
President Mark Emmert tried to frame the autonomy vote as mutually beneficial for the schools and the NCAA.
In reality, it was a concession made by the NCAA out of fear that the power conferences might opt to break away and take their massive TV war chests with them.
- Former Gannon defensive lineman Randy Colling has helped the Cleveland Gladiators reach this weekend's Arena Football League semifinals.
The 6-foot, 5-inch, 325-pound Colling had 21/2 sacks in the Gladiators' final six regular-season games and notched four tackles in Saturday's 39-37 win over the Philadelphia Soul in the their playoff opener.
The Gladiators (18-1) kicked a field goal as time expired in that game and host Orlando on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Quicken Loans Arena.
With a win the Gladiators, who set an AFL record with 17 regular-season wins, would host the league championship game. Sunday's game will air live on CBS Sports Network.
- Tiger Woods insisted his back was nothing more than "a little stiff" after shooting 3-over-par 74 to sit tied for 109th place following Thursday's opening round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla.
But with eight of Woods' past 10 rounds over par and a sore, surgically-repaired back at age 38, that elusive 15th major championship win has never seemed farther away.

Context Driven Testing
What is Context-Driven Testing?
The context-driven school of software testing advocates continuous and creative evaluation of testing opportunities in light of the potential information revealed and the value of that information to the organization right now. The context-driven school of software testing advocates testing in a way that conforms to the context of the project, as opposed to testing in a way that follows some fixed notion of "best practice". It declares that the human part of that context is most important, and that good testing is ultimately a matter of skill, not procedure.
has criticized
's writing on software testing because it only focusses on benefits without regard to costs. Cost-benefit analysis is central to context-driven testing.
Context-driven testing could arguably be called agile testing because the principles it recommends are analogous to those suggested in the
. Specifically, context-driven testers would answer each of the following questions in the affirmative:
Do we put more value in individuals and their interactions over processes or tools?
Do we put more value in seeing working software over documentation?
Do we put more value in collaborating with our customers
(including development, which context-driven testers see as an important customer of testing services)
over negotiating contracts
(and specifications)
Do we put more value in responding to change over following the plan?
However, no context-driven tester would want to be limited to the few testing techniques recommended by specific agile methodologies like
. (See discussion below for more on this point.)
Context-driven software testing is a set of values about test methodology. It is not itself a test technique. To be a context-driven tester is to approach each testing situation as if it were unique in important ways, and to develop the skills to react to situations with a broad and deep awareness of problems in projects and possible testing-related solutions to those problems.
The Seven Basic Principles of the Context-Driven School
The value of any practice depends on its context.
There are good practices in context, but there are no best practices.
People, working together, are the most important part of any project's context.
Projects unfold over time in ways that are often not predictable.
The product is a solution. If the problem isn't solved, the product doesn't work.
Good software testing is a challenging intellectual process.
Only through judgment and skill, exercised cooperatively throughout the entire project, are we able to do the right things at the right times to effectively test our products.
The Development of the Context-Driven School
The context-driven school was founded by
, and
. The school was founded on November 21, 1999, when
, and
were discussing the possibility of writing a testing book together. A few days later, they established the context-driven testing mailing list on Yahoogroups (software-testing). Two years later, the first self-described context-driven testing book (Lessons Learned in Software Testing: A Context-Driven Approach) was published by Cem, James, and
. The context-driven testing manifesto was also distributed at that time.
Although the school was declared in 1999, its direct roots can be traced back to the eighties, when James and Cem were independently trying and failing to make prevailing "best practices" of testing work in the world of commercial mass-market software products. Independently, they developed test methodologies that were agile and practitioner-centered. In 1995, James and Cem met and began to collaborate with each other and with like-minded people to find better ways of analyzing and discussing the relative value of technical practices.
and BrianLawrence
began hosting the Los Altos Workshops on Software Testing in 1997. These brought many testers together to share experiences and learn how to share ideas across barriers of project size, market, technology, and many other aspects of project context. In many ways, this was really the beginning of school of context-driven testing. Early participants in LAWST workshops included
, DougHoffman
, NoelNyman
, JohannaRothman
Many context-driven testers have looked to philsophy of science and epistemology for insight into how to think about software testing. One example of this is interpreting
's verification principle for testing scientific theories as a way of thinking about testing software.
Early Context-Driven Writings
In the years between 1992 and 1999 show a development of the ideas of context-driven testing in various writings.
Testing Computer Software
in 1988, saying that testers need to work effectively in the common situation that individuals rather than specifications control the quality of the product and "the programmers don't, won't, and don't have to follow the rules." Prior to its publication, most testing literature said that testers could only be effective if they programmers followed the waterfall method, providing detailed specifications. This book was welcomed by testers who had worked with high-performance teams that had succeeded because they focused on speed and working code over extensive planning and documentation. Kaner supplemented TCS in 1988 with Test Planning for Consumer Software (
) that specifically urged testers to advocate for evolutionary development (which XP follows) over waterfall, to minimize test-related documentation, and to focus their quality vision from customer needs in rather than code or process out.
wrote "Process Evolution in a Mad World" in '93, "The Immaturity of the CMM" in '94, and a series of other articles in '97 and '98 as part of his Software Realities column in IEEE Computer. "Good Practice Hunting", written in '99, was published shortly before the school was declared, and was inspired by the discussions at LAWST. All these articles may be found at
. Many of these articles were seen as defining the validity of an attitude towards development that later became labelled "agile."
wrote "Classic Testing Mistakes."
More Principles
It is not a testers' job to demand documentation. Good testers work with the information they have, use unofficial documents, and are specific when requesting additional information.
Testing is a information-providing service, not a "quality assurance" function.
The value of testing is determined by whether it provides useful and timely information (about the quality of the software).
There are no guarentees. We don't hide behind the test plan. We learn how to improve testing as we test.
A tester is a customer advocate. Testers try to understand the customer position and make the best case when they feel it isn't being address.
Testing Techniques
Testing techniques developed in the Context-Driven Testing School include:

''It is tempting to call context-driven testing "agile testing" because the principles it recommends are in some ways analogous to those suggested in the
. However, agile development is a particular set of values that belong to one kind of context. Context-driven testing is broader than that.'' -- James Bach
I am wondering what context you are claiming that
are restricted to? So far it seems that most of its successes have been on small projects, but isn't the same true of
? Have we actually gotten a chance to deploy
on a large scale?
I am also confused because you've described your early work with Cem as "agile and practitioner-centered". So you've been tempted to call it agile as well. Do you regret this?
Sometimes it is helpful to distinguish between testing on an agile development project and testing with an agile mind-set (on any kind of project). Is this the point you are trying to make?
- Agile development is about agility. It may be worth pursuing in contexts where people consider agility to be a high priority. - Context-driven methodology is about solving problems that actually exist, here and now. It's worth pursuing in any context where people believe in solving actual problems.
In any context where agility is a high priority, context-driven and agile may coincide. However, context-driven methodology also applies where agility is not valued.
Two cases where context-driven methodology is not worth pursuing might be:
- if you are under the direct supervision and control of someone else who takes responsibility for the quality of your work.
- if you are in a context so well understood and so stable that it would be silly to continually question context and re-relate that to practice.
My work has been focused a lot on agility -- both in the dictionary sense and in the sense of the Agile Manifesto, but not in the sense of many of the testing practices of Extreme Programming, which are sometimes called agile, but maybe ought to be called "Agile" with a capital A.
So would it be fair to say that Context-Driven Testing and XP Testing could both be called "agile testing"?
"about" agility, or is agility an emergent property of the agile values? Notice that the word agility is not in the definition of
We value
Individuals and interactions
over processes and tools
Working software
over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration
over contract negotiation
Responding to change
over following a plan
In other words, what changes, if any, do you want to make the main text above? Do you still think that it is controversial whether
should be called agile?
The wording of the article is okay with me, as it stands. I agree that CDT could "arguably" be called agile (we do advocate a certain agility of mind). CDT certainly becomes agile as needed. I also like the caveat about agility that is included in the article.
That the word agility is not in the definition of agile processes is completely unremarkable. Isn't it customary not to use a term in its own definition? In discussions I had with certain delegates to the Agile Manifesto meeting before that meeting occurred, it seemed clear to me that they were using agile as a descriptive term, not merely as some kind of marketing trope. When I read the Agile Manifesto, it seems to me that the description of Agile principles correspond both with an intent to be agile, in the dictionary sense, and with principles that will cause agility to emerge.
"Responding to change" is pretty close to the dictionary definition of agile, as I read it.
Let me suggest alternative answer to the question, "What is context-driven testing?"
Context-driven testers choose their testing objectives, techniques, and deliverables (including test documentation) by looking first to the details of the specific situation, including the desires of the stakeholders who commissioned the testing. The essence of context-driven testing is project-appropriate application of skill and judgment. The Context-Driven School of testing places this approach to testing within a humanistic social and ethical framework.
Many testers think of their approach as context-driven because they take contextual factors into account as they do their work. Here are a few examples that might illustrate the differences between context-driven and context-aware:
Context-driven testers reject the notion of best practices, because they present certain practices as appropriate independent of context. Of course it is widely accepted that any "best practice" might be inapplicable under some circumstances. However, when someone looks to best practices first and to project-specific factors second, that may be context-aware, but not context-driven.
Similarly, some people create standards, like IEEE Standard 829 for test documentation, because they think that it is useful to have a standard to lay out what is generally the right thing to do. This is not unusual, nor disreputable, but it is not context-driven. Standard 829 starts with a vision of good documentation and encourages the tester to modify what is created based on the needs of the stakeholders. Context-driven testing starts with the requirements of the stakeholders and the practical constraints and opportunities of the project. The standard provides implementation-level suggestions rather than prescriptions.
Some testers advocate favored life-cycle models, favored organizational models, or favored artifacts. Consider for example, the V-model, the mutually suspicious separation between programming and testing groups, and the demand that all code delivered to testers come with detailed specifications. Context-driven testing has no room for this advocacy. Testers get what they get, and skilled testers have to know how to cope with what comes their way. Of course, we can and should explain tradeoffs to people, make it clear what makes us more efficient and more effective, but ultimately, testing is a service to stakeholders who make the broader project management decisions. Yes, of course, some demands are unreasonable and we refuse them, such as demands that the tester falsify records, make false claims about the product or the testing, or work unreasonable hours. And yes, of course, some demands are absurd because they call for the impossible, such as assessing conformance of a product with contractually-specified characteristics without access to the contract or its specifications. But these are specific situations. The fact that we need a specification if we are to assess conformance with that specification does not mean that we always need specifications. We start from the project's needs, not from the process preferences.
, and
To say "context-driven" is to distinguish this approach to testing from context-oblivious, context-specific, or context-imperial approaches:
Context-oblivious testing is done without a thought for the match between testing practices and testing problems. This is common among testers who are just learning the craft, or are merely copying what they've seen other testers do.
Context-specific testing applies an approach that is optimized for a specific setting or problem, without room for adjustment in the event that the context changes. This is common in organizations with longstanding projects and teams, wherein the testers may not have worked in more than one organization. For example, one test group might develop expertise with military software, another group with games. In the specific situation, a context-specific tester and a context-driven tester might test their software in exactly the same way. However, the context-specific tester knows only how to work within her or his one development context (
) (or games), and s/he is not aware of the degree to which skilled testing will be different across contexts.
Context-imperial testing insists on changing the project or the business in order to fit the testers' own standardized concept of "best" or "professional" practice, instead of designing or adapting practices to fit the project. The context-imperial approach is common among consultants who know testing primarily from reading books, or whose practical experience was context-specific, or who are trying to appeal to a market that believes its approach to development is the one true way.
Agile development models advocate for a customer-responsive, waste-minimizing, humanistic approach to software development and so does context-driven testing. However, context-driven testing is not inherently part of the Agile development movement. For example, Agile development generally advocates for extensive use of unit tests. Context-driven testers will modify how they test if they know that unit testing was done well. Many (probably most) context-driven testers will recommend unit testing as a way to make later system testing much more efficient. However, if the development team doesn't create reusable test suites, the context-driven tester will suggest testing approaches that don't expect or rely on successful unit tests. Similarly, Agile developers often recommend an evolutionary or spiral life cycle model with minimal documentation that is developed as needed. Many (perhaps most) context-driven testers would be particularly comfortable working within this life cycle, but it is no less context-driven to create extensively-documented tests within a waterfall project that creates big documentation up front.
Ultimately, context-driven testing is about doing the best we can with what we get. There might not be such a thing as Agile Testing (in the sense used by the agile development community) in the absence of effective unit testing, but there can certainly be context-driven testing.
Reasonable people can advocate for standards-driven testing. Or for the idea that testing activities should be routinized to the extent that they can be delegated to less expensive and less skilled people who apply the routine directions. Or for the idea that the biggest return on investment today lies in improving those testing practices intimately tied to writing the code. These are all widely espoused views. However, even if their proponents emphasize the need to tailor these views to the specific situation, these views reflect fundamentally different starting points from context-driven testing.
Cem Kaner, J.D., Ph.D.
James Bach
I think also, where the original piece states - "Specifically, context-driven testers would answer each of the following questions in the affirmative: ", it's off the mark. Context-driven testers would say 'It depends', and then describe the factors upon which it depends, tradeoffs and relevant experiences. See this post -

2 space rocks hours apart highlight danger
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A space rock even bigger than the meteor that exploded like an atomic bomb over Russia could drop out of the sky unannounced at any time and wreak havoc on a city. And Hollywood to the contrary, there isn't much the world's scientists and generals can do about it.
But some former astronauts want to give the world a fighting chance.
They're hopeful Friday's cosmic coincidence -- Earth's close brush with a 150-foot asteroid, hours after the 49-foot meteor struck in Russia -- will draw attention to the dangers lurking in outer space and lead to action, such as better detection and tracking of asteroids.
"After today, a lot of people will be paying attention," said Rusty Schweickart, who flew on Apollo 9 in 1969, helped establish the planet-protecting B612 Foundation and has been warning NASA for years to put more muscle and money into a heightened asteroid alert.
Earth is menaced all the time by meteors. But many if not most of them are simply too small to detect from afar with the tools now available to astronomers.
The meteor that shattered over the Ural Mountains was estimated to be 20 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. And yet no one saw it coming; it was about the size of a bus.
"This is a tiny asteroid," said astronomer Paul Chodas, who works in NASA's Near-Earth Object program in Pasadena, Calif. "It would be very faint and difficult to detect -- not impossible, but difficult."
As for the three-times-longer asteroid that hurtled by Earth later in the day Friday, passing closer to the planet than some communications satellites, astronomers in Spain did not even discover it until a year ago.
Earth's atmosphere gets hit with 100 tons of junk every day, most of it the size of sand, and most of it burning up before it reaches the ground, according to NASA.
Congress weighed in on Friday, with Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, calling for a hearing in coming weeks on investments in space science.
Schweickart isn't willing to wait. His B612 Foundation is putting together a privately funded mission to launch an infrared telescope that would orbit the sun to hunt and track asteroids.
Its need cannot be underestimated, Schweickart warned. Real life is unlike movies such as "Armageddon." Scientists will need to know 15, 20 or 30 years in advance of a killer rock's approach to undertake an effective asteroid-deflection campaign, he said, because it would take a long time for the spacecraft to reach the asteroid for a good nudge.
"That's why we want to find them now," he said.
As Chodas said Friday, "It's like a shooting gallery here."

Yesterday we posted a news article claiming that developer Sumo Digital told Eurogamer that the Wii U's graphics are on par with the PlayStation 3. It has now been revealed that Eurogamer deliberately crafted a misleading headline in order to capitalize on a hot topic these days: the Wii U specs. The headline read: "Sega: Wii U graphics on-par with PlayStation 3, maybe even better". The problem is that the developer never said that. They said that the graphics in the Sonic Racing game are "on par" with the PS3. Which makes sense, since the game was ported to the Wii U from current generation hardware. Eurogamer spun the quote to make it sound like the developer was referring to the Wii U's graphical capabilities, which are of course much more powerful than current generation systems.
Shame on Eurogamer and its writer Tom Philips for using tactics like these. Their "article" was widely reported and Eurogamer was cited all over the web, including us here at Wii U Daily. We're sorry for the confusion this may have caused to our readers. From now on, we'll take everything Eurogamer says with an extra grain of salt.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - Saving the Big East Conference is the highest priority here at the conference's spring meetings. Quite an agenda item.
But in reality, the decisions that will determine the league's fate will be made by other conferences.
"Somebody in the Big 12 decides, 'This is what we're going to do,' " Connecticut women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma said. "Everybody in the Big East is going, 'Holy [shoot]. What happens to us?' It's just the craziest thing."

|Four-car crash leads to 3 injuries, 2 DUI arrests
A four-car chain-reaction crash on Highway 101 early Sunday morning, March 16, resulted in serious injuries and two arrests for suspicion of drunken driving.
A Santa Rosa woman, her 2-year-old young son and a passenger all suffered severe injuries. The mother, 39-year-old Bertha Alicia Vazquez, of Santa Rosa, was spotted by an off-duty Cotati police sergeant who reported seeing her go past him northbound on Highway 101 at speeds nearing 90 mph moments before the crash, which occurred at 3:38 a.m.
When she got near Todd Road, according to a California Highway Patrol report, her Volvo sedan made contact with a Honda Accord driven by Santa Rosa's Gloria Noemi Aquino. The impact caused both Highway vehicles to spin out of control, with Aquino's car stopping on the shoulder and Vazquez's Volvo sideways across two lanes pointing west.
Aquino's front bumper was torn off the car, but she was uninjured.
Vazquez got out of her Volvo and appeared to be walking around to the passenger side so she could retrieve her son. But the passenger, 25-year-old Gregorio Galvez got to her son quicker and got him out of the back seat of the car.
At that moment, a Toyota Corolla slammed into the Volvo in its path, according to the CHP, and the Volvo spun and struck Galvez, Vazquez and her son, Armani Paez. All three flew in different directions.
A witness reportedly retrieved Paez from the road, rushed to the shoulder and handed the child to bystanders until emergency crews arrived.
Then, a red Honda Civic hatchback driven by Lucien Albert Lippi, of Healdsburg, struck Vazquez, and the impact vaulted her into the windshield of the car.
According to the CHP, Lippi smelled of alcohol and was arrested for suspicion of drunken driving and causing injury. Lippi agreed to field sobriety tests. He was booked into Sonoma County Jail, and his bail was set at $100,000.
Vasquez and Galvez, a homeless man, suffered major injuries and were taken to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. Her son, who appeared to have lesser injuries than Vazquez and Galvez, was taken to Children's Hospital in Oakland.
Vazquez was arrested for suspicion of drunken driving and released to medical staff.

Need help with pointers
I am having trouble with pointers. Not really understanding what is going wrong with my code, but I am trying to print a running cost for an array and it is not working. It is giving me a 0 cost for all my types and put in the same location. Someone please help. I am struggling with this. I listed code to see if anyone would even want to take a shot a deciphering this. Some unecessary code is left out.
Code: Cpp
Type Dept Cost
1 Camping $ 0.00, 0033FA64(locations)
2 Tennis $ 0.00, 0033FA64(locations)
3 Golf $ 0.00, 0033FA64(locations)
4 Snow Sports $ 0.00, 0033FA64(locations)
5 Water Sports $ 0.00, 0033FA64(locations)
Re: Need help with pointers
First of all when posting code, USE CODE BLOCKS. Not doing so shows you haven't read the posting guidelines. This is bordering on rude, but you can redeem yourself by READING THEM NOW.
Using code blocks preserves the formatting and saves me the few minutes it's now going to take me to reformat the code so that it is readable...
Re: Need help with pointers
What does limits.txt contain? (NB: please only post the MINIMAL amount of data needed for the problem.)
Also what input do you give the program?
While reading the code I found a couple of other things:
type[types - 1] += cost; //this is part of the trouble
2. Replaced all scanfs with fgets. The scanf family is fine for reading formatted data from files, but for getting user input it's just not up to the job. For example:
char buf[32];
printf("\n %d %s $%7.2lf, %p(locations) \n" , i + 1, strings[i], ptr2, (void *)&ptr2);
So the problem here is that it displays a pointer. Well, that's what you're telling it to do. According to the Visual Studio 2008 documentation %p means "Prints the argument as an address in hexadecimal digits." And you're passing in the address of ptr2, so it's doing what you told it to.
void show_costs(char *strings[], int ptr2, int max) //pointer trouble
Another problem is presumably that the dollar value printed is zero. The parameter corresponding to $%7.2lf is.....ptr2! The integer from previously. So that won't work. What variable should it display? Not type[N] of course, cos this is an array of int. And definitely not ptr2.
Contrary to popular opinion, pointers are really easy. A pointer is a variable that holds the address in memory of another variable. So suppose we have a variable x
int x;
int *ptr_to_x = &x;
In many respects ptr_to_x is a normal variable. It also has a location in memory. We can do the same with ptr_to_x as we did to x:
int **ptr_to_ptr_to_x;
What you cannot do here is initialise ptr_to_ptr_to_x directly from x.
int **ptr_to_ptr_to_x = &&x; // NOT VALID
In C(++) pointers are useful (among other things) for modifying variables within a function.
int x=5;
Re: Need help with pointers
Thank you very Much! And sorry for not reading the guidlines...I have been struggling with this for a while and my teacher has not helped me with anything and have been struggling ever since he introduced pointers. Thanks Again!
