IEEE 1394 (Firewire) supports the maximum of 63 connected devices with speeds up to 400 Mbps.

main()

{

   char *str[] = { "Frogs", "Do", "Not", "Die." , "They", "Croak!" };

   int i;

         for ( i = 0;i<=5;i++)

         printf ("\n%s%d", str[i], strlen( str[i]));

}

Program counter holds the address of either the first byte of the next instruction to be fetched for exectuion or the address of the next byte of a multi byte instruction, which has not beeb completely fetched. in both the cases it gets increnented automatically one by one as the instruction bytes get fetched. Also Program register keeps the address of the next instruction.

Turnaround time is the interval between the submission of a job and its completion. Response time is the interval between submission of a request, and the first response to that request.

The order may vary from compiler to compiler.

Here the multiplication will happen before the addition , but in which order the functions would be called is undefined. In an arithmetic expression the parentheses tell the compiler which operands go with which operators but do not force the compiler to evaluate everything within the parentheses first.

Quality Assurance Manager (QA Manager) defines the process to be followed at each phase of SDLC. He defines the standards to be followed, the documents to be maintained and sets the standard for the product.

Where as it is the Project Manager’s responsibility to ensure that the things defined by QA manager are being implemented. He develops the product from start to finish with his team and ensures that the product which is to be rolled out is Defect free and it reaches the standards and views defined by QA Manager.

QA managers can audit the process for certain time periods which are being handled by the Project Manager.

Integration testing is done at module level when various modules are integrated with each other to form a system or sub-system. Its main purpose is to ensure that interfaces between various modules are working properly; i.e. modules which are working individually are also working correctly together.

System testing is done on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the system’s compliance with its specified requirements. It validates that the system meets its functional and non-functional requirements.

From these definitions, it is clear that the purpose of Integration and purpose of System Testing are different. Therefore, Integration test cases focus more on the interfaces between modules (interface integrity) - the data transfer and their interaction with each other. System test cases focus on testing the product as a whole; i.e. whether the functional, non-functional requirements of the System are met or not. Since System Testing is the final phase before delivery of the product, System test cases should pinpoint configuration related errors along with testing for performance, security, reliability etc.
