With respect to multithreading, synchronization is the capability to control the access of multiple threads to shared resources. Without synchronization, it is possible for one thread to modify a shared object while another thread is in the process of using or updating that object's value. This often leads to significant errors.

Platform independence means that we can write and compile the java code in one platform (Eg Windows) and can execute the class in any other supported platform (Eg Linux,Solaris,etc).

Steps to step through the code in .NET:

1. Start the program in debug mode.


2. When the first breakpoint is reached then step through can be done in one of the two ways:

•  Press F10 to move to next line.


•  Select debug menu and click on step over. This would step over the breakpoint to next level.

       3. Other options are: “Step Into” and “Step Out”.

In GUI testing, need to cover the customer requirement if don't have to validate  Font size, colors, spellings(labels) etc.

Every application should follow Microsoft rules like

- Controls should be Initcap (i.e every label should start with Capital letter )Can observe that in Win applications every label starts with Caps

- OK or Cancel button should exist

- Controls should not be overlapped

- Controls should be alligned properly (left side alignment is mandatory but the right side is optional)

- Controls should be visible

- Short cut keys should be provided

- System menu should exist (i.e if u press Alt key + Space bar a menu will appear at the left most corner )

- Mouse pointer events 

Colors, Label Names, Tab Order, Alignment, graphs , Navigation of the software to test in GUI Testing.

Autoboxing is the automatic conversion that the Java compiler makes between the primitive types and their corresponding object wrapper classes. For example, converting an int to an Integer, a double to a Double, and so on. If the conversion goes the other way, this is called unboxing. 

After you add a LINQ to SQL Classes item to a project and open the O/R Designer, the empty design surface represents an empty DataContext class ready to be configured. The DataContext class is a LINQ to SQL class that acts as a conduit between a SQL Server database and the LINQ to SQL entity classes mapped to that database. This class contains the connection string information and the methods for connecting to a database and manipulating the data in the database. It is configured with connection information provided by the first item that is dragged onto the design surface.

Type checking is the operation on which the arguments that can only be applied for.

Static type checking performs the type checking operation before the execution of the program. To perform this operation, the arguments, expressions, variables must be given a data type.

Dynamic type checking performs the type checking operation at the time of the program execution. To perform this operation, the arguments, expressions, variables must be given a data type.
