Software Reading Techniques

Title: Software Reading Techniques: Twenty Techniques for More Effective Software Review and Inspection

Author: Yang-ming Zhu
English | ISBN: 1484223454 | 2016 | 148 pages


This concise book teaches software professionals and software engineering students the full set of twenty software reading techniques to enhance their effectiveness in reviewing and inspecting software artifacts such as requirements specifications, designs, code files, and usability.
Software review and inspection is the best practice in software development whose purpose is to detect and fix problems early. Software professionals are trained to write software but not read and analyze software written by peers. As a result, individual reading skills vary widely. Because the effectiveness of software review and inspection is highly dependent on individual reading skills, differential outcomes among software readers vary by a factor of ten. Software Reading Techniques is designed to close that gap.
Dr Yang‐Ming Zhu’s depth of experience as a software architect, team leader, and scientist make him singularly well-equipped to bring software readers up to speed on all the techniques and tips for optimizing the effectiveness and efficiency of their software review and inspection skills.

What You’ll Learn

  • Software review and inspection procedures and reading skills
  • Traditional and modern advanced reading techniques applicable to almost all software artifacts
  • Specific reading techniques for software requirements specification, software design, and code

Who This Book Is For
Software Reading Techniques is for all software professionals and software engineering students and researchers.

Schoolhouse Test-making Software

Title:  Schoolhouse Test Professionalschoolhouse logo

Version: 4.1.5.5 | PC | 27 Mb

The program Schoolhouse Test makes creating tests just fun. Create tests to evaluate and improve the study of any subject using different types of questions: the choice of answers, short answers, list, order, yes / no match, filling empty seats. You can even create a list with answers for students to record their answers and save the test document for future use. Otvetnik also simplifies the display of marks. Simply place a sheet with the answers of the student responses to the key top, you can easily count the number of correct answers. The program Schoolhouse Test is surprisingly simple to use with a very simple interface that allows you to see what it looks like a test as you create. Download an evaluation version of Schoolhouse Test and run the trial version.

Assess learning with varied question types

With Schoolhouse Test you can design custom tests to evaluate learning in any subject area using eight different question types: multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, matching, short answer, list, order, true/false, long answer. Using various question types in your tests will make the test more interesting and challenging for your students. It can also make it easier to assess learning for material that does not conform to just the multiple-choice question type.

Save paper and cut marking time

One of the more popular features of Schoolhouse Test is the answer sheet. You can automatically create an answer sheet for students to record their answers on and save the actual test document for future use. Saves paper and photocopier costs. The answer sheet also makes for easy marking. Simply place a student answer sheet on top of the answer key on a lighted surface (such as an overhead projector) and you can score an entire test in seconds.

Create your first test in minutes

And Schoolhouse Test is surprisingly easy to use and very intuitive. It incorporates three views or work areas depending on the current task. You use the design view to construct your test, the document view to format the test and see exactly what it will look like when printed, and the answer sheet view to format the answer sheet and see what it will look like when printed, if you have opted to use an answer sheet that is.

One test, different questions

One of the top time-saving features in the design view is the option to activate and deactivate questions. You can, for example, design a master test with 100 questions but only use selected questions at a given time, turning them on and off as the situation demands.

Same questions, different tests

Another time-saving feature in the design view is the randomize function. You can, with a just a couple of mouse clicks, randomize all the selected questions in the test so that they are in a different order. You can even randomize elements within questions. So you can generate many different tests using the same question set.

A few more features to ease the test-making pain
• Create tests with hundreds, even thousands, of questions.
• Activate and deactivate test items with just a click of a checkbox.
• Assign and display marks for each question
• Display the total marks for the test on the first page of the test.
• Add a picture to each question.
• Use the section and divider lines to highlight areas of the test.
• Back-up your work automatically – an invaluable feature if your computer is prone to power outages.
• Select alternate lettering for multiple choice answers to meet formatting standards set by some USA state education authorities.
