Test Driven Development (TDD) is an agile method that emphasizes writing tests before writing code as a means of 1) assuring the satisfaction of customer requirements, and 2) reinforcing good design habits. While the first objective is usually accomplished by acceptance tests, the second objective is achieved by unit tests. The tests also serve as a multilevel cohesive reference of the system s...

We say that a mechanism is harmless if no student can ever misreport his preferences so that he does not hurt but someone else. We consider a large class of rules which includes the Boston, the agent-proposing deferred acceptance, and the school-proposing deferred acceptance mechanisms (sDA). In this large class, the sDA happens to the unique harmless mechanism. We next provide two axiomatic ch...

In this paper we will explore how agile acceptance testing is applied in testing a high capacity network gateway. We will demonstrate how the organisation managed to grow agile acceptance testing testing from two colocated teams to 20+ multi-site team setup and how acceptance test driven development is applied to complex network protocol testing. We will also cover how the initial ideas that we...

Objective: Depression is a common co-morbid condition in patients with type II diabetes. This study was aimed to investigate the impact of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on depression among patients with type II diabetes. Materials and Methods: Using a pre-test post-test experimental design with control group. With conventional sampling method 40subjects were selected from Alborz Diab...

OBJECTIVES Pain is one of the most frequent and burdensome symptoms for children with cancer. Psychological acceptance has been shown to be beneficial in chronic pain. Acceptance-based interventions for experimentally induced pain have been shown to predict increased pain tolerance and decreased pain intensity. An acceptance-based pilot study for children with cancer experiencing pain has shown...

A test suite for a key interface within a dimensional measuring system (coordinate measuring machine or CMM) is presented. The test suite consists of test procedures, test definitions, and various testing utilities. A real-time, distributed test utilizing the test suite has been performed and is described. Keywords— conformance test, coordinate measuring machine, distributed testing, interface ...

Calibration, absolute radiometric calibration in specific, is an important process for continuity and reliability of optical satellite data, since it puts the data on a standard scale and makes it compatible and comparable with the data acquired from different sensors. Therefore, the importance of performing a calibration campaign increased significantly. Being aware of this significance, TUBIT...

Testing is frequently reported as a crucial stage in the software development process. With traditional approaches acceptance testing is the last stage of the process before release. Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) promotes the role of an expert customer in defining tests and uses tool support to automate and execute these tests. This abstract outlines a tool, AnnoTestWeb/Run aimed at...

We report the automated transplantation of two features currently missing from Kate: call graph generation and automatic layout for C programs, which have been requested by users on the Kate development forum. Our approach uses a lightweight annotation system with Search Based techniques augmented by static analysis for automated transplanting. The results are promising: on average, our tool re...

In this paper we test a range of three-dimensional face recognition systems, based on the fishersurface method developed in previous work. We show the effect of using a variety of facial surface representations and suggest a method of identifying and extracting useful qualities offered by each system. Combing these components into a unified surface subspace, we create a threedimensional face re...
