    Weblint: Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe Abstract Weblint is a utility for checking the syntax and style of HTML pages. It was inspired by lint [15], which performs a similar function for C and C++ programmers. Weblint does not aspire to be a strict SGML validator, but to provide helpful comments for humans. The importance of quality assurance for web sites is introduced, and one particular area, validation of HTML, is described in more detail. The bulk of the paper is devoted to weblint: what it is, how it is used, and the design and implementation of the current development version. 1. Introduction The conclusion opens with a summary of the information and opinions given in this paper. A Web sites are becoming an increasingly critical part of selection of the lessons learned over the last four years how many companies do business.

It is therefore critical that ideas. owners of web sites perform regular testing and analysis, to ensure quality of service. 2.

However, if we or our users identify a blocking functional or cosmetic problem that occurs when using the application with a supported browser, Arena makes efforts to correct the problem on a timely basis. If a problem with a supported browser cannot be corrected in a timely fashion, Arena reclassifies the browser as unsupported until the problem is resolved. Validated browsers are those upon which Arena has executed the validation protocol for the Arena application. The execution record is available to our customers through Arena Validate. Unsupported browsers are those with which an application may or may not work properly. If a functional or serious cosmetic problem occurs when using the application with an unsupported browser, Arena does not make any effort to correct the problem.

  • Developing an Open Source Option for NASA Software
    Developing An Open Source Option for NASA Software Patrick J. Moran NASA Ames Research Center, M/S T27A-2 Moffett Field, CA, 94035, USA [email protected] NAS Technical Report NAS-03-nnn April 7,2003 Abstract We present arguments in favor of developing an Open Source option for NASA software; in particular we discuss how Open Source is compatible with NASA’s mission. We compare and contrast several of the leading Open Source licenses, and propose one - the Mozilla license - for use by NASA. We also address some of the related issues for NASA with respect to Open Source. In particular, we dis- cuss some of the elements in the “External Release of NASA Software” document (NPG 2210.1A) that will likely have to be changed in order to make Open Source a’reality withm the agency.

The specification covers 90 pages, the introduction another 124.And this double issue has still more: a comparison between SGML and XML, an introduction to Document Object Models (interfaces for XML doc- uments), generating MathML in Omega, a program to generate MathML-encoded mathematics, and finally, the issue closes with a translation of the XML FAQ (v.1.5, June 1999), maintained by Peter Flynn. In all, over 300 pages devoted to XML. Michel Goossens, XML et XSL : unnouveau d´epart pour le web [XML and XSL:Anewventure for the Web]; pp. 3–126 Late in1996, the W3C andseveral major soft- ware vendors decided to define a markup language specifically optimized for the Web: XML (eXtensible Markup Language) was born. It is a simple dialect of SGML, which does not use many of SGML’s seldom- used and complex functions, and does away with most limitations of HTML. After anintroduction to the XML standard, we describe XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language) for presenting and transform- Abstracts ing XML information.

  • Why Websites Can Change Without Warning
    Why Websites Can Change Without Warning WHY WOULD MY WEBSITE LOOK DIFFERENT WITHOUT NOTICE? HISTORY: Your website is a series of files & databases. Websites used to be “static” because ​ there were only a few ways to view them. Now we have a complex system, and telling your webmaster what device, operating system and browser is crucial, here’s why: TERMINOLOGY: You have a desktop or mobile “device”. Desktop computers and mobile ​ ​ ​ devices have “operating systems” which are software. To see your website, you’ll pull up a ​ ​ ​ ​ “browser” which is also software, to surf the Internet. Your website is a series of files that ​ ​ needs to be 100% compatible with all devices, operating systems and browsers. Your website is built on WordPress and gets a weekly check up (sometimes more often) to ​ ​ ​ see if any changes have occured. Your site could also be attacked with bad files, links, spam, comments and other annoying internet pests! Or other components will suddenly need updating which is nothing out of the ordinary. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IF SOMETHING HAS CHANGED? Any update to the following can make your website look differently: There are 85 operating ​ systems (OS) that can update (without warning). And any of the most popular roughly 7 ​ ​ ​ browsers also update regularly which can affect your site visually and other ways. (Lists below) ​ Now, with an OS or browser update, your site’s 18 website components likely will need ​ ​ updating too. Once website updates are implemented, there are currently about 21 mobile ​ devices, and 141 desktop devices that need to be viewed for compatibility.

  • Empirical Studies of Performance Bugs and Performance Analysis Approaches for Software Systems
    Empirical Studies of Performance Bugs and Performance Analysis Approaches for Software Systems by Shahed Zaman A thesis submitted to the School of Computing in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Queen's University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April 2012 Copyright c Shahed Zaman, 2012 Abstract Developing high quality software is of eminent importance to keep the existing cus- tomers satisfied and to remain competitive. One of the most important software quality characteristics is performance, which defines how fast and/or efficiently a software can perform its operation. While several studies have shown that field problems are often due to performance issues instead of feature bugs, prior research typically treats all bugs as similar when studying various aspects of software quality (e.g., predicting the time to fix a bug) or focused on other types of bug (e.g., security bugs). There is little work that studies performance bugs. In this thesis, we perform an empirical study to quantitatively and qualitatively examine performance bugs in the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browser projects in order to find out if performance bugs are really different from other bugs in practice and to understand the rationale behind those differences. In our quantitative study, we find that performance bugs of the Firefox project take longer time to fix, are fixed by more experienced developers, and require changes to more lines of code. We also study performance bugs relative to security bugs, since security bugs have been extensively studied separately in the past. We find that security bugs are re-opened and tossed more often, are fixed and triaged faster, i are fixed by more experienced developers, and are assigned more number of develop- ers in the Firefox project.

    Arena Query: SQL-Customized Modules (Course #A274) Presented by: Alex Nicoletti Arena Product Owner ©2017 Shelby Systems, Inc. Other brand and product names are trademarks or registered trademarks of the respective holders. Objective To learn ways to use Arena to retrieve the information you need to know. Arena and the supporting infrastructure offer several tools to automate jobs. Metrics tally and draw graphs; Report Grids from Query, HTML, and Stored Procedure modules deliver information; Reporting Services can deliver reports via email on schedule. Be inspired to build a dashboard that keeps itself up to date. This session covers the following topics: You are going deep. It is important to remember that Arena runs on powerful software: Microsoft’s SQL Server. There are several methods you can employ to automate various processes using Arena as well as the technology behind it. SQL Server’s SQL Maintenance Plans/SQL Server Jobs SQL Server’s Database Triggers SQL Server’s Reporting Services Arena’s Agents Arena’s “Report Grid from Query” Module Arena’s “HTML from Stored Procedure” Module Arena’s Metrics Build a Dashboard! …and more? 2 SQL Server Maintenance Plans Why You Want Them SQL Server Maintenance Plans are considered an alternative to Arena’s Agent System – they require less code and are relatively simple to create and set up. The downside is they are not part of the Arena Database, nor part of the Arena app, so their backup is handled differently. Like any custom code, Shelby does not officially support them. Example of How to Use Them New Covenant Bible Church in Cedar Rapids, IA discovered a need to communicate delicate concerns about congregants in a manner that honored privacy.
