Sufer head just really start

erico2k2:
gesi, holla at me, I can connect you to the guy who shipped my car last month, good price from tilbury port.

Ol boy please send me detail - i live in grays very near to tilbury


thank you

U must be completely out of your mind I don't think u leave in nja top infrastructure my ass wey no light dey abeg comot before I yab u

This country is a joke any opportunity to rack up expenses and I can gurantee you the bill will be inflated I am bringing to understand these idiots I believe that they think we are all idiots . Only in nigeria where have u heard of a minister going abroad to write report Enough of writing we need to start fighting I so sick of these individuals and can't bear it any longer

Rip to my fallen soliders - May the Good God pass on every soilder's slaughter charges to our so called slotful, barbaric, ego centric, out of touch, constipated, morons, venim infested, useless, dead brain, slowpoke LEADERS  - more to follow soon

rip my brother - till we meet again

This is absolutely digusting I suspect something is going on and I believe that why she getting upset have u tried ringing on her on mobile and also is her boss richer than you?

I don't how true this story is but if it is true then I am not suprised one of greatest flaws in africa is the fact that leaders believe it is their right to be in government and don't understand they are actually servants to people. On behalf of the nigeria government I apologise for inhumane treatment you received from these babric idiots who are mere thugs in government who have also gotten their self centric views embbeded in slotful souls

Rebranding does not generally make problems go away historically it has even brought more problems as your consumers or followers get confused when you rebrand and equal amount of effort needs to go marketing again pls we don't have time for that in nigeria an example is Nepa to phcn what we need is someone to come take stock,steady the ship and enforce rigourious structure and processes in place most importantly someone who is qualified and. Not imposed on us like the present babrians we have in government

The husband should wire me 300k and I will arrange her bail please be advised I charge 50k for my services which I believe is penny compared wht u have looted

I believe we have reached point where people have to account for every kobo or action taken while in government because we voted them in inrespect that maybe the election was rigged I just hope that this momentum can carry us all d way to end. The other question is are the right people calling for objs head or is it people who did not benefit while he was in government if it is the former we have been fed for decades with nonsense this time we are full and constipated and refuse to eat anymore trash . We a need a revolution and it starts from here

I strongly believe that this man has no clue about leadership in this interview he failed to address the revelant issue or needs of the people such as health,power generation, welfare,transporation and other essential infrastructure .this man does not have clue and is surrounded by people who  are only after their own interest  adequate infastructure matter for rapid economic development please don't get me wrong I believe in the rule of law but equal measures should be given to all areas. In april I spent 50k on fuel for power generation does this man not know what that can do to my business if I re invest those sum . I have come to the conclusion that nigeria can nvr get better unless a revolutions takes place and we get rid of all this so called self centered politican who have become parasites to our soul. Nigerians have become so use to abnormalities
God help us in this country

stay away from egusi

It is so sad for Nigeria 0 - Corruption don eat into the core of our soul - Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse this disease.



If you want to enter the airport - You settle ( parted with 200 Naira

you dey weigh bag - You settle

Airline offical - wetin you eat remain for us - you settle ( parted with 500 Naira)

Custom man check your bag and they find food - you settle In my case had to part with 1500 ( custom man requested 4k)

Airline official say your bag to heavy - you settle ( parted with 200 Naira)


Total before departure -- 2400 Naira - Na wa o


at that point i was fed up


Ndlea staff - started asking me series of question - I just told him i lost my father thats why i am in Naija - the man left me alone immediately


Next time i am in Naija - I will stick to ( I have just lost my dad line) believe me it works. You know say naija people dey fear death or get this thing about dead man.


But i hope one day this will change.

they can go to hell - Gunners forever

May the Good Lord compensate any one who has lost a family member, firend and etc

God help us in this country

Dear Nairaland

I would like answers for the following questions.

1. I have plans of bringing in some vehicles into lagos for example a daf truck, nissan vanette, toyota hilux or similiar vehicles ,

how much would i have to pay to clear each vehicles and is it safe to bring vehicles inside containers or otherwise without stuff being removed from the cars

2. what is the typical duty due on printing machines into lagos

3. How does one find a reputable and honest clearing agent

4. Is it better ship to tincan island, apapa, cotonou and benin


Please advise

If God has called him to rule nigeria I wish him all a speedy recovery so he can fulfil destiny or else otherwise

This whole trial is joke - I would like to know what has been the end result of past trials

Dear President Yar Adua i dont know what planet you live on or may be you are trying to deny the reality . You say nigerians will lose their position as top producing country. I beg to differ and inform you that a very large proportion of nigerians dont even benefit from any of our natural resources and i can guranatee you that it not make any difference to us if will lose our position as top producing nation it is more of a blessing in disguise it simply equates to less money for your government to steal. I conclude that past adminstration and possibly the present administration dont really understand the plight of the people or maybe dont know how to run a country - You guys are completely Out of touch. God help you.

Probing in nigeria only highlights who has collected money so me ( probing senator or member of house) can collect my own share

The level of corruption in this country is a joke. The question is are their any honest person or people in this country

Its so sad we have leaders who completely out of touch with people plight. This people don't have clue what the masses are going thru all we hearing is sharing sharing sharing God will judge one day all these malapratices

I seem to read always on Nairaland where people brag about their programming skills the question is " Does your program meet it is core functional business need    I doubt it ".  The Uk Information Technology companies spend roughly about 30 - 40 billion pound sterling on software development and about  30 to 75 percent of this budget is spent on software testing a lot of this testing is done inhouse and about 15 % is outsourced.  Trends shows that these companies would rather have independent software testing team.  I am sure you know the old saying " developers only see what they want to see and are  not critical with their work"

The Standish Group reports that around 30% of IT projects will be cancelled. Around 52% of projects will cost 189% of their original estimates.  Only 16% are completed on-time and on-budget. In larger companies, the news is even worse: only 9% of their projects come in on-time and on-budget.

What is software testing?

Software Testing  is the process used to help identify the correctness, completeness, security, and quality of developed computer software. Testing is a process of technical investigation, performed on behalf of stakeholders, that is intended to reveal quality-related information about the product with respect to the context in which it is intended to operate. This includes, but is not limited to, the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding errors. Quality is not an absolute; it is value to some person. With that in mind, testing can never completely establish the correctness of arbitrary computer software; testing furnishes a criticism or comparison that compares the state and behaviour of the product against a specification. An important point is that software testing should be distinguished from the separate discipline of Software Quality Assurance (SQA), which encompasses all business process areas, not just testing.


Types of Testing

• COMPATIBILITY TESTING. Testing to ensure compatibility of an application or Web site with different browsers, OSs, and hardware platforms. Compatibility testing can be performed manually or can be driven by an automated functional or regression test suite.
• CONFORMANCE TESTING. Verifying implementation conformance to industry standards. Producing tests for the behavior of an implementation to be sure it provides the portability, interoperability, and/or compatibility a standard defines.
• FUNCTIONAL TESTING. Validating an application or Web site conforms to its specifications and correctly performs all its required functions. This entails a series of tests which perform a feature by feature validation of behavior, using a wide range of normal and erroneous input data. This can involve testing of the product's user interface, APIs, database management, security, installation, networking, etcF testing can be performed on an automated or manual basis using black box or white box methodologies.
• LOAD TESTING. Load testing is a generic term covering Performance Testing and Stress Testing.
• PERFORMANCE TESTING. Performance testing can be applied to understand your application or WWW site's scalability, or to benchmark the performance in an environment of third party products such as servers and middleware for potential purchase. This sort of testing is particularly useful to identify performance bottlenecks in high use applications. Performance testing generally involves an automated test suite as this allows easy simulation of a variety of normal, peak, and exceptional load conditions.
• REGRESSION TESTING. Similar in scope to a functional test, a regression test allows a consistent, repeatable validation of each new release of a product or Web site. Such testing ensures reported product defects have been corrected for each new release and that no new quality problems were introduced in the maintenance process. Though regression testing can be performed manually an automated test suite is often used to reduce the time and resources needed to perform the required testing.
• SMOKE TESTING. A quick-and-dirty test that the major functions of a piece of software work without bothering with finer details. Originated in the hardware testing practice of turning on a new piece of hardware for the first time and considering it a success if it does not catch on fire.
• STRESS TESTING. Testing conducted to evaluate a system or component at or beyond the limits of its specified requirements to determine the load under which it fails and how. A graceful degradation under load leading to non-catastrophic failure is the desired result. Often Stress Testing is performed using the same process as Performance Testing but employing a very high level of simulated load.
• UNIT TESTING. Functional and reliability testing in an Engineering environment. Producing tests for the behavior of components of a product to ensure their correct behavior prior to system integration.

What are some recent major computer system failures caused by software bugs?

1. A September 2006 news report indicated problems with software utilized in a state government’s primary election, resulting in periodic unexpected rebooting of voter check-in machines, which were separate from the electronic voting machines, and resulted in confusion and delays at voting sites. The problem was reportedly due to insufficient testing.
2. In August of 2006 a US. government student loan service erroneously made public the personal data of as many as 21,000 borrowers on it’s web site, due to a software error. The bug was fixed and the government department subsequently offered to arrange for free credit monitoring services for those affected.
3. A software error reportedly resulted in over-billing of up to several thousand dollars to each of 11,000 customers of a major telecommunications company in June of 2006. It was reported that the software bug was fixed within days, but that correcting the billing errors would take much longer.
4. News reports in May of 2006 described a multi-million dollar lawsuit settlement paid by a healthcare software vendor to one of its customers. It was reported that the customer claimed there were problems with the software they had contracted for, including poor integration of software modules, and problems that resulted in missing or incorrect data used by medical personnel.
5. In early 2006 problems in a government’s financial monitoring software resulted in incorrect election candidate financial reports being made available to the public. The government’s election finance reporting web site had to be shut down until the software was repaired.
6. Trading on a major Asian stock exchange was brought to a halt in November of 2005, reportedly due to an error in a system software upgrade. The problem was rectified and trading resumed later the same day.
7. A May 2005 newspaper article reported that a major hybrid car manufacturer had to install a software fix on 20,000 vehicles due to problems with invalid engine warning lights and occasional stalling. In the article, an automotive software specialist indicated that the automobile industry spends $2 billion to $3 billion per year fixing software problems.
8. Media reports in January of 2005 detailed severe problems with a $170 million high-profile US. government IT systems project. Software testing was one of the five major problem areas according to a report of the commission reviewing the project. In March of 2005 it was decided to scrap the entire project.
9. The latest to the list  The Heathrow terminal 5 ( I am very sure it  is costing BA millions every day)


Why do so many IT projects fail?

It is a fact of life that as many as 80-90% of IT projects run over budget or are terminated prematurely.  And even those that reach some sort of completion often fall far short of meeting user expectations and business performance goals.



What is the problem?

Common problems nominated in failed projects are:
• lack of user involvement in the design
• lack of management involvement
• lack of a clear scope

The single major reason for the failure of most projects is simple: 

These projects fail because they have attempted to automate an ill-defined process
The method used to develop in-house IT systems consists of "paving the cowpath": taking an existing process and automating it.  That's fine if you have a nice straight, mapped, cowpath.
When business analysts from IT turn up at a user department, they are often faced with users who have only a vague idea of the actual process which is in place.  Different users will have different ideas of the same process.  Process steps will be ill-defined and often ignored by those operating the process.
Inevitably, the analysts will come back with a user requirements statement which represents what they have been told, plus perhaps what they themselves imagine the user needs.  With no other input but their own (faulty) recollection of the process, users are often more than happy to sign off on this.
None of this is the fault of the IT methodology, or the analysts themselves, or even the users interviewed.  The fault is in the gap between operations and IT.
Hammer's "Business Process Re-Engineering" tries to solve the problem by ignoring the users (and the cowpath) altogether and building roads where IT thinks they should go.  Unfortunately (as Hammer admits), this often fails.


Alternative


  It's very simple: 

Before you start, document the processes that you want the system to automate



Conclusions

How do you avoid failure in a software implementation project? 

The key is to have in place, before you start the system specification phase, a clearly defined and accurately documented set of business processes and procedures.  If you have these, you will have:

• a precise appreciation of business needs and expectations; this will enable you to see the way ahead
• a firm basis for the development of the software specification; this ensures that the software will come as close as possible to meeting the business needs sooner, and ensure a smooth transition for the business
• an ideal platform for continuous improvement of business processes, either during the implementation, or after
• an accurate outline of the project on which you can base your implementation plan and monitor project progress
• a readily adaptable set of parameters on which to base system testing
• a vastly improved appreciation of business needs and expectations against which you can gauge the success of the project





Software testing is a critical component of the software development cycle. And software testing procedures are critical to the success of the testing phase. Software remains in a perpetual state of change which is why software testing, whether manual or automated, is so vital to a software product’s success. Typically, 30 – 40% of the software engineers employed at larger software development companies work on software testing and each of these individuals needs to understand his or her role in this ongoing process. Software testing procedures help ensure that they do.

Keep me informed so I can send u a cheque to buy nappies

Even God himself acknowlegdes this fact that is why he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for past present and future sins. Please note this is not a golden ticket to justify wrong doing. Trying to do right all times is not easy but I know that my faith in christ saves me. God help u if you not a christian

What kind of stupid thread is this. If you don't have anything to write just read, you want to know my honest thinking "if is not a profession then you are acting
" I am sure nobody will like an actor managing their finances
