Software testing involves only the testing of software parts of the system, while embedded testing involves the testing of both software and hardware parts of the system. Read through this article to find out more about software testing and embedded testing and how they are different from each other. What is Software Testing? Software testing refers to verifying and validating the behavior of the software developed. It ensures that software works as expected without any defect. It also helps in documenting that software is meeting the requirements and is ready to use. Software testing also checks the exceptions and error ... Read More

JPEG and SVG are types of image formats. JPEG is a raster image format that uses a lossy compression algorithm to compress an image, whereas SVG is a highly scalable, text-based image format that uses mathematical structures to represent an image. JPEG images are used in photography applications, while SVG is used when high-resolution images are required. JPEG is a good choice for photographs and other images with lots of colors, while SVG is a better choice for simple images and graphics that need to be resized, such as logos and icons. Read this article to find out more about ... Read More

In the computer software testing world, there are two major software testing techniques namely Agile Testing and Waterfall Testing. Agile testing is more flexible and malleable, while waterfall testing is more structured and rigid. There are several other important differences between agile testing and waterfall testing which we will discuss in this article. But before going into the differences, let's start with some basics of agile testing and waterfall testing. What is Agile Testing? Agile testing is a software testing mechanism involving all team members where main owners are subject matter experts termed as Product Owners and testers as Quality ... Read More

MIS and DSS are the two common terms that are often heard in the field of business management. But, they are quite different from each other. MIS (Management Information Systems) and DSS (Decision Support Systems) are both types of information systems that are used to support decision making in organizations. Read this tutorial to learn more about MIS and DSS and how they are different from each other. What is MIS? MIS, Management Information System, is a computer-based program to assist users to make decisions based on information present in the system. MIS is a type of link that helps ... Read More

Anybody dealing with databases must comprehend the distinction between DDL and DML commands because it has an impact on how data is saved, accessed, and modified. A collection of commands called DDL are used to specify a database's structure. Database objects including tables, views, indexes, and constraints can be created, modified, and deleted using these commands. DDL statements specify how the data is arranged and accessed rather than altering the data that is stored in the database. DML, on the other hand, is a set of instructions used to work with the data that is kept in the ... Read More

GIF and PNG are types of image formats to store images. Both GIF and PNG are pixelbased image formats. Both use lossless compression algorithms and support transparency. GIF images support animation as well. Read this article to find out more about GIF and PNG formats and how they are different from each other. Let's start with a brief overview of these two image formats. What is GIF? GIF stands for Graphical Interchange Format. GIF is an image file format that uses lossless compression algorithm. Therefore, the GIF images are of high quality, but a GIF image supports only 256 colors. ... Read More

Both operating system and Kernel are types of system software. The basic difference between the two is that an operating system is a system software that acts as the interface between the users and the machine, while a kernel is a part of the operating system that converts user commands into machine language. Read through this article to find out more about operating systems and kernels and how they are different from each other. What is an Operating System? Operating System manages a computer and acts as an interface between user and computer. Operating system is the first program that ... Read More

Both SVG and PNG are types of image formats to store images. SVG is a vectorbased image format where an image is represented by set of mathematical figures, whereas PNG is a binary image format that uses lossless compression algorithm to represent images as pixels. Read this article to find out more about SVG and PNG file formats and how they are different from each other. What is SVG? SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. It is a type of image file that uses vector graphics to display images, rather than the traditional raster graphics used by most image ... Read More

JPEG and GIF are types of image formats. JPEG uses lossy compression algorithm where the image may lose some of its data, whereas GIF uses lossless compression algorithm where there is no data loss. GIF images support animation and transparency. Read this tutorial to find out more about JPEG and GIF image formats and how they are different from each other. What is JPEG? JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is a raster image format. It uses the ".jpg" or ".jpeg" file extension. It uses a type of lossy compression to reduce file size, which means that some ... Read More

In asymmetric multiprocessing, all the processors are not identical and they follow a master-slave relationship; whereas in symmetric multiprocessing, all the processors are identical and they share the main memory. Read this tutorial to find out more about asymmetric and symmetric multiprocessing, and how they are different from each other. Let's start with a basic overview of asymmetric multiprocessing. What is Asymmetric Multiprocessing? Asymmetric multiprocessing is the use of two or more processors handled by one master processor. All CPUs are interconnected but are not self-scheduling. It is used to schedule specific tasks to a CPU based on priority and ... Read More
