Voice and data networks require infrastructure components of highest quality and that is achieved through testing. However, software performance and performance testing have been less studied and reported on. This paper presents the tool developed and used in the performance and stability testing of a networks integration infrastructure. We also report on the experience with our tool and perfor...

In e-testing it is important to administer tests composed of good quality question items. By the term “quality” we intend the potential of an item in effectively discriminating between strong and weak students and in obtaining tutor’s desired difficulty level. Since preparing items is a difficult and timeconsuming task, good items can be re-used for future tests. Among items with lower performa...

LOGFLOW is a distributed Prolog implementation on a transputer network. Evaluating a distributed system causes a number of theoretical and practical problems. In this paper, a monitoring tool is described which was designed and implemented to tackle with several problems of distributed performance testing. Some improvements are also introduced which were made in LOGFLOW based on the results of ...

The art of circus is a vibrant and competitive culture that embraces new tools and technology. In this paper, a series of exploratory design processes resulting in proofs of concepts are presented, showing strategies for effective use of three different modes of sonic interaction in contemporary circus. Each design process is based on participatory studio work, involving professional circus art...

Standard process analysis techniques, like conformance checking or performance evaluation, are enabled by the existence of event logs that trace the process executions and by the presence of a model that formally represents the process. Such analysis techniques use only part of the huge amount of data recorded in event logs. In this paper the goal is to exploit this data to extract useful infor...

PURPOSE: The open-source Perk Tutor training platform has been shown to improve trainee performance in interventions that require ultrasound guidance. Our goal was to determine if needle coordination of medical trainees can be improved by training with Perk Tutor compared to training with ultrasound only. METHODS: Twenty participants with no previous experience were randomized into two groups; ...

conclusion significant functional performance deficits were observed in the fai group in all tests except single hop test with greater deficits observed in the fai-gw group. hence, these tests can be used to determine the presence of fai. however no deficits were identified for the test involving sagittal plane functional activities suggesting that this test can not be used as a criterion to di...

Web testing is the name given to software testing that target on web applications. Performance testing on web based system before going live can help in resolving several issues. Manual testing is a time consuming testing and is difficult to repeat but cannot be overlooked because each time software does not perform well according to specifications. The application will record and report the ex...

With today’s changing trends and technology the web services technology is one of the most significant web technologies. Due to the rapid popularization of web application i.e. web is evolving and expanding continuously and so are its services, the web application performance testing is gaining wide attention. Users interact with web services by means of Internet and as a result web services ar...
