Automated Unit Testing with ABAP
Write automated unit tests for the ABAP language. This book teaches programmers using simple examples and metaphors and explains the underlying concepts of writing effective automated unit tests. Many, if not most, ABAP programmers learned their programming and testing skills before the ABAP development environment provided an automated unit testing facility. Automated Unit Testing with ABAP: A Practical Approach offers hope and salvation to ABAP programmers who continue to toil with antiquated manual unit testing processes, taking them by the hand and lifting them out of that dungeon of despair with a modern and proven alternative. It begins by explaining how the xUnit family of automated testing frameworks provides a quick and effective means of insuring high-quality software. It then focuses on the ABAP Unit Testing Facility, the xUnit framework applicable specifically to the ABAP language, showing how it can be used to bring ABAP applications underautomated testing control, from old legacy applications to those newly written.Whereas xUnit testing has been widely accepted with developers writing in many other programming languages, it is an unfortunate fact in the ABAP community that many programmers still are unfamiliar with xUnit concepts and do not know how to begin implementing automated unit testing into their development process. This book demonstrates how to refactor programs so they become designed for testability, showing how to use process encapsulation and test isolation to facilitate automated testing, including a thorough explanation of test-driven development and the use of test doubles. The book: Shows how to write automated unit tests for ABAPInstills ABAP programmers with the confidence to refactor poorly written codeExplains how an automated testing harness facilitates rapid software developmentTeaches how to utilize test-driven development (TDD) withABAPOffers advice and tips on the best ways to write automated unit tests What You Will Learn Become familiar with the xUnit approach to testingKnow the ABAP statements that interfere with running automated unit tests and how to accommodate themUnderstand what it means to isolate code for testing and how this is achievedGain the confidence to refactor poorly written codeMake ABAP programs designed for testabilityReap the benefits of spending less time manually unit testing ABAP programsUse test-driven development (TDD) with ABAP programmingUse configurable test doubles in ABAP Who This Book Is ForABAP programmers who remain unfamiliar with the automated unit testing facility and those who already use it butwant to improve their skill writing and using automated tests. The book addresses the reluctance and trepidation felt by procedural ABAP programmers who need to know some object-oriented concepts to use this facility, expands their horizons, and helps them step through the doorway leading to a different approach to program design.

Why Don’t We Defend Better?
The wave of data breaches raises two pressing questions: Why don't we defend our networks better? And, what practical incentives can we create to improve our defenses? Why Don't We Defend Better?: Data Breaches, Risk Management, and Public Policy answers those questions. It distinguishes three technical sources of data breaches corresponding to three types of vulnerabilities: software, human, and network. It discusses two risk management goals: business and consumer. The authors propose mandatory anonymous reporting of information as an essential step toward better defense, as well as a general reporting requirement. They also provide a systematic overview of data breach defense, combining technological and public policy considerations. Features Explains why data breach defense is currently often ineffective Shows how to respond to the increasing frequency of data breaches Combines the issues of technology, business and risk management, and legal liability Discusses the different issues faced by large versus small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) Provides a practical framework in which public policy issues about data breaches can be effectively addressed

Digital Halftoning
Digital Halftoning addresses the problem of developing algorithms that best match the specific parameters of any target display device. It is the first significant study of the process of producing quality images on practical computer displays.Along with text and graphics, images are fast becoming a generic data type for general-purpose computer systems. This poses new problems for the systems designer, who must be able to preprocess digital image data for a wide variety of video and hard copy displays. Digital halftoning, the method by which the illusion of continuous-tone images are created through the arrangement of binary picture elements, is a key component of any preprocessing. Digital Halftoning addresses the problem of developing algorithms that best match the specific parameters of any target display device. It is the first significant study of the process of producing quality images on practical computer displays. To aid the systems designer, Ulichney devises the concept of blue noise--which has many desirable properties for halftoning--and suggests efficient algorithms for its use. He also introduces new metrics for analyzing the frequency content of periodic and aperiodic patterns for both rectangular and hexagonal grids, and presents a unique "aspect ratio immunity" argument in favor of hexagonal grids. Included are several carefully selected digitally-produced images.
3ds Max Basics for Modeling Video Game Assets
As a textbook for learning the fundamentals of modeling, rigging and animating 3D-modeled characters for use in video games, this step-by-step lesson book builds on the reader's modeling skills acquired from reading Volume I. The reader will model characters for the Castle Environment created in Volume I, which will be rigged using the Character Animation Toolkit (CAT) in 3ds Max and animated with game moves. The Skin Modifier is used for associating the meshes to the rigs and the characters are then exported to the Unity game engine and integrated into the Castle Scene with a Third Person Character camera. As the text introduces new modeling skills, it additionally calls on the reader to perform repetitive tasks, reinforcing skills learned in the process. The content is presented as if the reader is in a working video game studio, being responsible for researching asset design and providing the team with placeholder assets and final model assets that are unwrapped and custom textured using both box mapping and the 3ds Max Quick Peel tool. Although the text uses Autodesk 3ds Max for the modeling program, the principles are transferable to other major modeling programs.Key Features: The goal of this book is to teach the fundamentals of 3D modeling video game characters in a simplified, logical progression optimized for learning at a beginner level. Rigging principles (Linking, Inverse Kinematics [IK], Forward Kinematics [FK], Skin Deformation, Weighting Vertices and more) are introduced in a gradual progression to allow maximum comprehension and retention. This series of modeling exercises is the result of having successfully taught over 1000 video game students the fundamentals of 3D modeling. This complete, clearly written and concise text is written for self-paced learning, helping those instructors who might not be fully trained in 3D modeling and those interested in self-teaching. Includes instructions and project files for exporting the finished project environment into the 3D game engine, Unity. A companion site (www.3dsMaxBasics.com) includes working 3ds Max project files for chapters, notes and corrections, a 3ds Max user interface, 3ds Max shortcut keys and more.

Assistance for the determination of Measurement Uncertainty Analysis. Development of a prototypical implementation within the existing framework
Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: 2, University of Applied Sciences Coburg, language: English, abstract: The project shall contribute to the further development of a prototypical implementation for an assistance solution supporting measurement uncertainty analysis within the existing framework. The main tasks in this project will be: Familiarisation with the topic of measurement uncertainty analysis and the handling of software GUM Workbench(R), definition of an design outline for the user support during measurement uncertainty analysis, including an analysis of required supporting function and the subsequent definition of a possible system structure, selection of one aspect in the process and development of a draft for an adequate support solution, containing elements to enable partial automation or increase of efficiency for the process step as well as explanatory information for the users, prototypical implementation and testing of the defined elements within the outlined framework. In the "Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement" (GUM), jointly issued by ISO and BIPM, a standard procedure for the determination of measurement uncertainty is defined. Yet, although this document is supported by many international organisations and the consideration of measurement uncertainty is of high importance in many fields of application, ranging from industrial quality control to scientific research, still often the determination of measurement uncertainty is omitted. This is mainly due to difficulties of the metrologists to apply the general rules of the GUM to the task at hand. To ease this task and support the determination of measurement uncertainty, the software GUM Workbench(R) performs all required mathematical evaluations based on a model of the measurement. Additionally, a concept for an assistance system as well as a graphic modelling editor has been developed to facilitate the definition of a suitable
