A few days ago a group of software engineers were discussing how the order in which the numbers of rows versus columns in a two dimensional array affect performance. That is; if an array has more rows than columns as opposed to more columns than rows, the time it takes to traverse the array will be affected. Continue reading “Two Dimensional Array”

Parse Text
UPDATE – April 09, 2018 – When I started this post, I was thinking in several follow ups in order to try different approaches and be able to continue to improve on previous passes by adding code or starting from scratch when a new idea came up. I was interested in showing a normal progression that the reader would encounter when developing software. In the days that passed, I decided to limit the subject to a single post. Please let me know if you encounter an issue or would like for me to expand on this entry.
Sometime last week I attempted to solve a simple online challenge. The challenge dealt with parsing a string of text and then obtaining information from the string. There are probably thousands of variants to the challenge. I am not going to cover the exact challenge in this post. I will make my own. Will start simple and will get more complex each time we add a new obstacle. Continue reading “Parse Text”
String Testing
The use of string tests might not be a common process when testing software; perhaps it should.
So what is String Test?
String Tests are used to test software features when already integrated in the final software and before it is sent to production. When features in the software are being developed, engineers write unit tests to make sure that the different functions and classes work the way they were intended. These tests are typically white box and have reduced scope. Continue reading “String Testing”
