Quick Ground Up Kit for Implementing Silk Test Automation
Introduction to Silk: Silk is not just another test automation tool by another vendor. But happens to be the best automation tool I have come across during my career. It comes from the world’s most respected organization, i.e., Borland. I personally admire Silk and have heard similar views from so many users who have extensively used Silk. No surprises to know the significant penetration in the industry.
So lets get Started. I have used Microsoft Word for implementing Silk with an intention to reach broader audiences as everyone more or less knows Word and can focus on Tool/Silk. Read the rest of this entry »
If you drive a large vehicle or your car has a small rear window then you might find it difficult to see everything behind you when you are reversing or parking. This can be a real hassle as you might damage your vehicle by bumping into something or another car while trying to get into a tight parking space. However by using a reversing camera you will be able to see everything to the rear of your car which will make parking much easier and safer.
The system uses a camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle to relay the image to a screen that is mounted inside. This provides a clear and practical solution as it shows potential dangers and obstructions that are not visible when using the rear view mirrors, and it also makes judging the distance of objects easier.
There are many types of cameras available and they can be installed in the bodywork of the car, or attached to the bumper for example to provide a clear view of the rear of the vehicle. The camera is connected to a screen inside the car where the image is displayed. The screens are usually small LCD screens that can easily be attached to the dashboard of your vehicle by using a bracket or mount and they can even be connected to the gearbox to automatically switch on when you choose the reverse gear. There are also screens available that are incorporated into the rear view mirror which makes them easy to view. You can also choose a wireless camera which makes installation even easier as you won’t have to connect it to the screen inside with a cable. Some of the cameras also feature a night vision or light function which makes parking at night in the dark much easier. Read the rest of this entry »

Many call centers suffer because they completely separate the duties of calling outbound numbers and answering inbound calls. Inbound – outbound call blending is a telephony software solution that increases the productivity of an entire call center by allowing individual sales representatives to handle both inbound and outbound calls.
Sales reps who wish to perform both inbound and outbound calls log into an inbound call receiver and mark themselves as available to take incoming calls. While waiting to receive calls the rep can then log into an outbound initiative in their telephone dialer. By doing so the rep will continually be routed new outbound calls.
When an inbound call is received, inbound – outbound call blending technology routes that call to an available sales rep and disconnects that rep from the outbound dialing initiative (not a call). When the sales rep is finished with that call he is then able to jump right back to making outbound calls. Read the rest of this entry »
Is your PC infected with Win32 virus? Need help? Certainly, you need help removing the low-profile virus from your PC in order to make it run smoothly. A Win32 virus is a type of old and relatively less harmful Trojan virus that attaches itself to files and overloads the computer memory by creating multiple copies of those files resulting into slow speed and performance or a blue screen on the PC. This virus is designed to infect computers running on Microsoft Windows OS (operating systems).
How Win32 Virus Works?
The Win32 virus usually targets newsgroups and email messages and attaches itself automatically to them and generates their multiple copies. Consequently, the email server becomes overloaded and causes email bouncing or send/receive problems. It may also induce other viruses to attack the PC, create false antivirus alarms as well as fake scans, and deactivate any inbuilt firewall or antivirus security installed on your PC.
