TIME MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

Time management is a very necessary skill as nowadays technology has reduced the average life of people. Let us discuss the common techniques which will benefit us by saving our precious time and becoming more productive.

  1. TASK LISTING: First we have to note down all of our tasks in a form of a list so that it becomes easy to consider all tasks from major to minor ones. Think about all the tasks and activities you have to do in your whole day and write down anything which comes to your mind. This is a very crucial step as it is like gathering all raw materials for preparing a dish.
  2. SCHEDULING: Here we schedule our tasks as compared to the time like what can we do in these 24 hours before going to the bad. We have to use our time efficiently like we will schedule all new important tasks which need more energy and concentration as compared to the other tasks while placing all small and less important tasks for the latter part of the day because they require less energy and concentration.
  3. GOAL SETTING: It includes planning our routing by keeping our goal in mind. For example, imagine we are in a construction company and our tomorrow’s focus is to register new construction sites. Then for tomorrow we will consider more tasks related to the registration of new sites and decrease our attention towards tasks that are less related to the registration of new sites.
  4. PRIORITIZE TASKS: In this step, we are going to prioritize our tasks by arranging them in a specific order so that tasks with high priority come first as compared to the tasks with comparatively less priority. For example, as we are in a construction firm and tomorrow we will go for registration of new construction sites then we will prioritize tasks like preparing legal documents as compared to the tasks like buying new sports shoes.
  5. CONCENTRATION & FOCUS: This is the final step where we concentrate and focus on tasks by optimizing them according to our current circumstances, situations, and work scenarios. For example, as today we are going for registration of new sites, but suddenly we get to know that there is a problem in the agreement so what we are gonna in such situation. To tackle this we will have to introduce some new tasks like meeting a law consultant and then according to their advice we will plan our future tasks.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

PROBLEM PARTITIONING: Divide the problem and conquer the problem it means to divide the problem into smaller pieces so that each can be captured separately. ABSTRACTION: The process of hiding certain details and showing only essential information to the user. MODULARITY: It specifies the division of software into separate modules which are differently named, addressed, and integrated later on in to obtain completely functional software. STRATEGY OF DESIGN: To design a system, there are two possible approaches- Top-Down Approach: main components and then sub-components designed Bottom-Up Approach: sub-components and then integrate them to obtain the main component.

COMPONENT ASSEMBLY MODEL

This model follows an object-oriented methodology where the whole system is divided into components, if they are already available in the library then we import them else we have to build them and at last, we construct the system by integrating them. CHARACTERISTICS: Use of object-oriented technology. Component-class that encapsulates both data and algorithm. Component delivered to be reusable. Paradigm similar to spiral model, but engineering activity involves components. The system is produced by assembling the correct components. ADVANTAGES: Time and resource conservative. Having object-oriented methodology. Components are built once and then they can be reused further. Suitable for small to large object-oriented projects. Very low cost in the construction of the system. DISADVANTAGES: Can’t use it for pioneering projects. Needs good planning and design. Needs a clear and complete definition of the whole system before dividing it into components. Need experts to divide the syst...

SOFTWARE TESTING

Image
It is a process of verifying and validating that software or application is bug-free, meets the technical requirements as guided by its design and development, and meets the user requirements effectively and efficiently with handling all the exceptional and boundary cases. SOFTWARE TESTING STRATEGIES VERIFICATION: It refers to the set of tasks that ensure that software correctly implements a specific function. VALIDATION: It refers to a different set of tasks that ensure that the software that has been built is traceable to customer requirements. Verification -> “Are we building the product right?” Validation -> “Are we building the right product?” TYPES OF SOFTWARE TESTING MANUAL TESTING: Manual testing includes testing software manually which means without using any automated tool or any script. The tester takes over the role of an end-user and tests the software to identify any unexpected behavior or bug. There are different stages for manual testing suc...
