Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are the most widely used Internet protocols. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, which means, once a connection is established, data can be sent bidirectional. UDP, on the other hand, is a simpler, connectionless Internet protocol. Multiple messages are sent as packets in chunks using UDP. Go through this article to find out more about TCP and UDP and how they differ from each other. What is TCP? TCP is a transport layer connection-oriented protocol. It provides a reliable connection and protected data transmission between the connected machines over a network. ... Read More

Communication, in general, is the process of transferring data from a source to a destination by using any of the available modes such as audio, video, text or even signals, etc. This communication may be straightforward between one sender and one receiver or it may include multiple senders and receivers. On the basis of the number of senders and receivers involved, a communication can either be "Point-to-Point" or "Multi-point".Read through this article to find out more about these two forms of communication and how they differ from each other.What is Point-to-Point Communication?In telecommunications, a point-to-point connection is a communications link ...

Testing is the most important stage in the process of delivery of any application or software, as it not only validates the quality of an application but also provides an opportunity to the developer to improve its product. Every application is developed as per the requirements of a customer/client. So, on the basis of testing the functionality of an application based on these requirements and testing the usability and performance, we can distinguish between Functional and Non-functional Testing. Read this article to learn more about functional and non-functional testing and how they are different from each other. What is Functional ... Read More

Both the Spiral Model and the Waterfall Model are widely used development methodologies in the software industry. Both of these models are practices for better tracking and have application development in systematic way. The basic difference between spiral model and waterfall model is that the spiral model works in evolutionary method and generally used by developers, whereas the waterfall model works in a sequential method and generally used by customers. In this article, we will discuss the important differences between spiral model and waterfall model. But before going into the differences, let's start with some basics of these two ... Read More

The Waterfall model and the Incremental Model are widely used in software development. The objective of having these models is to ensure that the software is developed in a systematic, organized and efficient manner. Read this article to find out more about the Waterfall model and the Incremental model and how they are different from each other. What is the Incremental Model? The incremental Model is a software development model in which the entire model is divided into various sub−development phases where the corresponding testing phase for each development phase is practiced. The execution of the phases, i.e., ... Read More

Both the Waterfall model and the V-Model are quite widely used development methodologies in the software industry. Both of these models help the development of applications in a systematic way. The basic difference between V-Model and Waterfall model is that, in the V-Model, defects are identified in the testing phase, while in the Waterfall model, defects are identified from the beginning. Read through this article to find out more about the V-Model and the Waterfall Model and how they are different from each other. What is V-Model? V-Model is the development model in which the entire model is ... Read More

A microprocessor can be defined as an electronic component of a computer system that executes the instructions to perform tasks involved in computer processing. It is the most fundamental unit of computer that executes all the functions of a CPU. Till date, several types of microprocessors have been developed. But in this article, we will learn about the two earliest microprocessors, namely, 8086 and 8088 microprocessors. Both 8086 and 8088 microprocessors are widely used in embedded systems due to their various important and unique features. This articles is primarily meant for explaining the major differences between 8086 and 8088 microprocessors. ... Read More

Hive and HBase are Hadoop-based Big Data solutions. These technologies serve different purposes in almost any real use scenario. When you log onto Facebook, you may see your friend's list, a news feed, ad suggestions, friend suggestions, etc. Twitter is similar.Apache Hadoop, along with other technologies we'll explore today, such as Apache Hive vs. Apache HBase, is how Facebook loads all of its messy data in a presentable manner. Apache Hadoop enables Facebook's two billion-plus daily users.Because Big Data systems are complicated, all technologies must be used together. Hive is recommended for analyzing time-series data. It can evaluate trends and ... Read More

In C, C#, Java or any other programming language, both header files and libraries provide some specific APIs and their functionality to be used in the main file. Both the header file and the library are combined and used as a single unit. But, on the basis of nature of files, we can distinguish between a Header File and a Library. Read this tutorial to learn more about header files and libraries and how they are different from each other. What is a Header File? The file that contains all the header names which are to be used in the ... Read More

Both Forward and Reverse Engineering are related to the re-implementation of the legacy systems to achieve more sustainability. On the basis of the mode of creation, we can classify these modes as Forward and Reverse Engineering. Read this article to learn more about forward engineering and reverse engineering and how these two approaches are different from each other. What is Forward Engineering? Forward Engineering is the mode of development of an application in which the development is done on the basis of given requirements from the client or consumer. In forward engineering, the requirements are provided before the development ... Read More
