Hectic.

February is about to come to it's end. And yes. March are creeping in. Hectic March i should say. On Monday, the lecture will start on Module 8 which is about Software Evolution. I have started to revise about the module and in brief i would say that the module is about software maintenance and software re-engineering.

Regarding about the post's title, "Hectic" is a suitable word for the upcoming week. Starting Monday the 28th of February till Friday the 4th, I have the "perfect" combination of tests,quizzes, presentations and assignments' submission. I can feel the butterflies in the stomach just to think of it.

Here is the list of things that i have to endure during that week (as far as i can remember).

Monday (28/2) - Software Engineering's Quiz, Database's Assignment 1 Submission

Tuesday (1/3) - IT Communication Oral Presentation, Operating System's Quiz

Wednesday (2/3) - Islamic Studies 2 Presentation and Mid-Term Test (probably)

Thursday (3/3) - Software Engineering's Assignment 2 Submission (SRS)

Friday (4/3) - Human Computer Interaction's Test 2, Database's Project Presentation

It's going to be a long and hard week to endure. (no futsal. T.T) However, I'm going to get through it in style. Like a BOSS i should say. Head held high and crash the obstacles with grace. The reward will be the sweetest. Jyeah!

Module 6

Today, in class, we have entered Module 6 which is Verification & Validation topic. In the end of the lecture, Madam Badariah asked the class to define the term of "Errors", "Defects" & "Faults" . By defining the terms, we should see the difference between them and able to differentiate wisely.

Error : Software - error resulting from bad code in some program involved in producing the erroneous result

Computer - the occurrence of an incorrect result produced by a computer

Syntax - an error of language resulting from code that does not conform to the syntax of the programming language

Runtime/Semantic - an error in logic or arithmetic that must be detected at run time

Defects : IEEE - a product anomaly

Pressman, 203 - synonymous with fault, both imply a quality problem discovered after the software has been released to end-users (or to another activity in the software process)

Faults : ACM Digital Library - a structural imperfection in a software system that may lead to the system's eventually failing

PC Mag - when the program directs the computer to go outside of its restricted memory boundary (software).

- failure in one of the circuits. (hardware)
