Testing is a major step for the successful delivery of any application. On the basis of the level of execution of testing, we can classify testing into two categories − System Testing and Acceptance Testing. Read this article to learn more about system testing and acceptance testing and how they are different from each other. What is System Testing? System Testing is a type of testing which is used to validate the functionality of a developed software product. It is also known as black box testing. This testing involves the behavioral as well as functional testing of the software product ... Read More

Computer software is a set of instructions or programs instructing the computer to do specific tasks. Software is basically a generic term used to describe computer programs. In general, scripts, applications, programs and a set of instructions are all terms often used to describe a software. On the basis of language in which software is developed and platform which is required for its execution, we can group different types of software into two categories: System Software and Application Software. Read through this article to find out more about System Software and Application Software and how they are different from ... Read More

Businesses around the world today are smart and do everything to get and retain their customers. They can identify malicious credit/debit card transactions, they can identify a person uniquely with face or eye detection as a password to unlock a device, offer what their customer are looking for in the least possible time, separate spams from regular emails, and predict within how much time one can reach their intended destination depending upon length of road, weather conditions, and traffic, etc.These challenging tasks are possible only when the algorithms carrying out such predictions are smart, and the learning approaches are the ...

Supercomputers and mainframe computers are the most powerful computers that have been developed. We can distinguish between both of these computers based on the operations they perform. Read this tutorial to know more about supercomputers and mainframe computers and how they are different from each other. What is a Supercomputer? Supercomputers are one of the fastest computers available. Supercomputers are large-sized very expensive computers, mainly used for specialized applications that require immense amount of complex mathematical calculations. Primarily, supercomputers are used for carrying out complex, fast and time-intensive calculations for scientific and engineering applications. The speed or performance of a ... Read More

Memory plays a vital role in any computer system and it is very important to understand how it works and how it stores the data. In general, we know that computer memory stores the data after converting into bits or bytes (which is nothing but collection of bits). In this article, we are going to explain how this storage take place and how to address those storage blocks. Data, or in simple language, every word that we provide to a computer system is being stored in a memory, whether in temporary cache or permanent memory. But before storing it to ... Read More

Computer programming entirely revolves around data. It is data over which all the business logic gets implemented and it’s the flow of data which comprises the functionality of an application or project. Hence, it becomes critical to organize and store the data for its optimized use and perform effective programming with good data model. From the surface, both data type and data structure appear to be the same thing, as both deal with the nature and organizing of data, but there is a big difference between the two. One describes the type and nature of data, while the other represents ... Read More

Both Quality Assurance and Quality Control primarily focus on defectfree delivery of an application. Quality Assurance focuses on preventing defects. It ensures that the approaches, techniques, methods and processes designed for the projects are implemented correctly. Quality Control, on the other hand, focuses on identifying the defects. It ensures that the approaches, techniques, methods and processes are designed in the project are followed correctly. Read this article to learn more about quality assurance and quality control and how they are different from each other. What is Quality Assurance? Quality Assurance, also known as QA, focuses on preventing defects. It is ... Read More

Both Procedural Programming and Object Oriented Programming are high-level languages in programming world and are widely used in the development of applications. On the basis of nature of developing the code, both languages have different approaches on basis of which both are differentiate from each other. In this article, we will discuss the important differences between procedural oriented programming and object oriented programming. But before going into the differences, let's start with some basics. What is Procedural Programming? Procedural Programming is a programming language that follows a step-by-step approach to break down a task into a collection of variables ... Read More

Both VPN and Proxy are used to connect to a remote system where one can access the host system from a remote location. However, VPNs are superior than Proxy servers because a VPN can protect your privacy and security by routing your traffic via a secure VPN server and encrypting it. A Proxy, on the other hand, just routes your traffic via a mediating server and it does not provide any additional security.Read through this article to find out more about VPN and Proxy and how they are different from each other.What is a Virtual Private Network (VPN)?A virtual private ...

Testing is the most important stage in the process of delivery of any software product, as it not only validates the quality of the product but also provides an opportunity to the developer to improve it further. Unit testing and integration testing are both software testing techniques, but they are quite different from each other in their scope and they focus on different parts of the software. Read this article to learn more about unit testing and integration testing and how they are different from each other. What is Unit Testing? Unit testing is a type of testing technique in ...
