In today's unforgiving business environment where customers demand
zero defect software at lower costs-it is testing that provides the
opportunity for software companies to separate themselves from the
competition. Providing a fresh perspective on this increasingly
important function, Software Testing as a Service explains, in
simple language, how to use software testing to improve
productivity, reduce time to market, and reduce costly errors. The
book explains how the normal functions of manufacturing can be
applied to commoditize the software testing service to achieve
consistent quality across all software projects. This up-to-date
reference reviews different software testing tools, techniques, and
practices and provides succinct guidance on how to estimate costs,
allocate resources, and make competitive bids. Replete with
examples and case histories, this book shows software development
managers, software testers, testing managers, and entrepreneurs how
proper planning can lead to the creation of software that proves
itself to be head and shoulders above the competition.
Although tens of thousands of global users have implemented
Systems, Applications, and Products (SAP) for enterprise data
processing for decades, there has been a need for a dependable
reference on the subject, particularly for SAP materials management
(SAP MM). Filling this need, The SAP Materials Management Handbook
provides a complete understanding of how to best configure and
implement the SAP MM module across various types of projects. It
uses system screenshots of real-time SAP environments to illustrate
the complete flow of business transactions involved with SAP MM.
Supplying detailed explanations of the steps involved, it presents
case studies from actual projects that demonstrate how to convert
theory into powerful SAP MM solutions. Includes tips on the
customization required for procurement of materials and inventory
management Covers the range of business scenarios related to SAP
MM, including the subcontracting cycle and consignment cycle
Provides step-by-step guidance to help you implement your own SAP
MM module Illustrates the procure to pay lifecycle Depicts critical
business flows with screenshots of real-time SAP environments This
much-needed reference explains how to use the SAP MM module to take
care of the range of business functions related to purchasing,
including purchase orders, purchase requisitions, outline
contracts, and request for quotation. It also examines all SAP MM
inventory management functions such as physical inventory, stock
overview, stock valuation, movement types, and
reservations-explaining how SAP MM can be used to define and
maintain materials in your systems.
This book provides essential information on and case studies in the
fields of energy technology, clean energy, energy efficiency,
sustainability and the environment relevant to academics,
researchers, practicing engineers, technologists and students. The
individual chapters present cutting-edge research on key issues and
recent developments in thermo-fluid processes, including but not
limited to: energy technologies in process industries, applications
of thermo-fluid processes in mining industries, applications of
electrostatic precipitators in thermal power plants, biofuels,
energy efficiency in building systems, etc. Helping readers develop
an intuitive understanding of the relevant concepts in and
solutions for achieving sustainability in medium and large-scale
industries, the book offers a valuable resource for undergraduate,
honors and postgraduate research students in the field of
thermo-fluid engineering.
To build reliable, industry-applicable software products,
large-scale software project groups must continuously improve
software engineering processes to increase product quality,
facilitate cost reductions, and adhere to tight schedules.
Emphasizing the critical components of successful large-scale
software projects, Software Project Management: A Process-Driven
Approach discusses human resources, software engineering, and
technology to a level that exceeds most university-level courses on
the subject. The book is organized into five parts. Part I defines
project management with information on project and process
specifics and choices, the skills and experience needed, the tools
available, and the human resources organization and management that
brings it all together. Part II explores software life-cycle
management. Part III tackles software engineering processes and the
range of processing models devised by several domestic and
international organizations. Part IV reveals the human side of
project management with chapters on managing the team, the
suppliers, and the customers themselves. Part V wraps up coverage
with a look at the technology, techniques, templates, and
checklists that can help your project teams meet and exceed their
goals. A running case study provides authoritative insight and
insider information on the tools and techniques required to ensure
product quality, reduce costs, and meet project deadlines. Praise
for the book: This book presents all aspects of modern project
management practices ... includes a wealth of quality templates
that practitioners can use to build their own tools. ... equally
useful to students and professionals alike.-Maqbool Patel, PhD,
SVP/CTO/Partner, Acuitec

The best way to learn software engineering is by understanding its
core and peripheral areas. Foundations of Software Engineering
provides in-depth coverage of the areas of software engineering
that are essential for becoming proficient in the field. The book
devotes a complete chapter to each of the core areas. Several
peripheral areas are also explained by assigning a separate chapter
to each of them. Rather than using UML or other formal notations,
the content in this book is explained in easy-to-understand
language. Basic programming knowledge using an object-oriented
language is helpful to understand the material in this book. The
knowledge gained from this book can be readily used in other
relevant courses or in real-world software development
environments. This textbook educates students in software
engineering principles. It covers almost all facets of software
engineering, including requirement engineering, system
specifications, system modeling, system architecture, system
implementation, and system testing. Emphasizing practical issues,
such as feasibility studies, this book explains how to add and
develop software requirements to evolve software systems. This book
was written after receiving feedback from several professors and
software engineers. What resulted is a textbook on software
engineering that not only covers the theory of software engineering
but also presents real-world insights to aid students in proper
implementation. Students learn key concepts through carefully
explained and illustrated theories, as well as concrete examples
and a complete case study using Java. Source code is also available
on the book's website. The examples and case studies increase in
complexity as the book progresses to help students build a
practical understanding of the required theories and applications.
In coastal area interactions among air, water and soil take place.
The nature of water and amplitude of the tidal regimes resulted in
the poor understanding.The present study focused on a segment of
the coastal zone of Bangladesh. Soils collected from the three
islands were found to be rather similar as regard to chemical
properties, although some variables differed significantly among
the islands. No general pattern of significant variation was found
location wise. Element concentrations of leaves of Sonneratia
apetala showed significant variations among the islands. In most
cases, location 2 of the river Buragauranga had higher values of
the variables. Among the phytoplankton genera, 8 belong to class
Bacillaiophyceae. Dominant phytoplankton was Trachelomonas sp. and
was found in all three locations. Phytoplankton diversity was high
in location 2. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that
Trachelomonas sp. has negative significant correlation with
principal component one but have positive relation with
Coscinodiscus sp. This book will help in understanding the coastal
zone as holistic approaches have been taken and help in
conservation and management of coastal resources.
