Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is an extension of Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) that enables software components to communicate across network boundaries. While COM handles local inter-process communication between components on the same machine, DCOM extends this capability to distributed environments where components reside on different computers. DCOM acts as a transparent middleware layer that replaces local inter-process communication with network protocols. Neither the client nor the component needs to be aware that they are communicating across a network — the connection simply becomes "a little longer" from their perspective. DCOM Architecture ...

Sometimes a Unix command may run for a very long time without giving the final output or it may keep processing giving partial output from time to time. In such scenarios we need to put a time frame within which either the command must complete or the process should abort. This is achieved by using timeout tools. Using timeout Tool The timeout tool forces a command to abort if it cannot complete within a given time frame. This is a built-in utility available on most Linux systems.

Relational Algebra and Relational Calculus are both formal query languages used to retrieve data from relational databases.

Relational Algebra Relational Algebra is a procedural query language that takes instances of relations as input and yields instances of relations as output. It uses operators to perform queries step by step. The fundamental operations are − Select (σ) − Filters rows based on a condition Project (π) − Selects specific columns Union ...

Updated on 14-Mar-2026 15K+ Views

Monolithic and Microservices are two different architectural approaches for building software applications. A monolithic architecture builds the entire application as a single, tightly coupled unit, while microservices architecture breaks it into small, independent services based on business functionality. Monolithic Architecture Monolithic architecture is built as one large system, usually as a single codebase. All components (UI, business logic, data access) are tightly coupled and deployed together. As the application grows, it becomes difficult to isolate services for independent scaling, and changing technology or frameworks becomes extremely challenging because everything depends on each other. Microservices Architecture Microservices ...

In software quality assurance, Tester and SDET are two distinct roles with different skill sets and responsibilities. A Tester focuses on manual and functional testing, while an SDET combines development and testing skills to build automation frameworks and test software at a deeper level. Tester A software tester performs testing on the software to ensure it meets the required quality standards. A tester is responsible for checking if the software has bugs or defects and verifying that it performs as expected. A software tester is typically unaware of the application's internal code and development process, focusing on black-box ...
