Test planning is an important skill for testers who wish to communicate the purpose and value of their testing in meaningful ways. When choosing a test planning strategy, it is important to consider the strengths that a strategy offers before implementation. Risk, Session, and Heuristic Based strategies can be used separately or in conjunction with one another to create targeted, effective testing on any product.
Risk-based test planning involves planning testing around areas of greatest risk. This method of test planning, while useful in any environment as risk is always a factor, is especially useful for people working in highly regulated environments: finance, medicine, and automotive or air travel. Risk-based test planning involves risk assessment as the key factor, and then determining the kind of testing that will be done to address key areas of risk. OWASP has a threat-risk modeling framework that is useful in determining risk for application design and development.
Let's take a look at testing for availability risks. First, the test manager, along with feature/product designers, need to identify areas of risk to availability. Among these areas might be security-based risks (safety from denial of service attacks), load-based risks around guaranteed uptime (if your app guarantees 99.999% uptime, can your app handle all of the load that might be placed on the application during spikes in traffic at peak times?) or other types of risk (do you have any service level agreements that need to be considered?).
Once risks are identified and prioritized, then test planning can take place. In our scenario, we discussed security, load, and SLA risks as parts of app availability. We might first plan security scans and identify attack vectors that are specific to denial of service attacks. Then, we can identify load test tools and test cases for distributed load as well as sudden load spikes that our app might face. Finally, we might look at service level agreements that we have with users of our application and make sure that their needs are maintained. We can plan and execute these tests using everything from strictly written test cases to exploratory test sessions.
Session-based test management (SBTM) can be used in nearly any testing scenario, and is especially well-suited for products that require the measurement of exploratory testing efforts. Session-based test management has been around for nearly twenty years, and was first presented by John Bach at Star WEST in 2000. Much of the effort involved in using SBTM revolves around planning the time-based sessions that focus on directing the testing focus and recording how time is spent during the exploratory test session.
Session-based test management is flexible enough that it could theoretically be used to plan testing against areas of risk, and might be used to do exploratory tests in a risk-based model. When using SBTM, testers gather information about a feature from the developer and make test charters for the session, based on the areas of the feature that they would like to explore. This might involve creating a mind-map or other inclusive diagram of the feature(s) under test. Once the application under test has been thoroughly mapped, the team can work together to decide the priority of any testing that needs to be done.
During the testing phase, testers time-box their testing efforts into short (45 minute) or long (90 minute) sessions, where they make a claim about what they will achieve in their test session, and then work through their testing in a responsive manner, using feedback from one test to create new tests and explore the software. Once completed, testers organise a 15 – 20 minute meeting with management to discuss results of their testing and create new charters.
The Heuristic test strategy model (HTSM) is a "set of patterns for determining test strategy". Where risk-based and session-based models of test planning focus on the what, the HTSM focuses on the how: how will you approach the testing of the application under test? As identified by James Bach, there are considerations about product, project, and quality that must be made in order to determine what strategy to apply to testing. Each of the considerations is a series of philosophical explorations into the product, which in turn reveal knowledge that aids in test planning, allowing product, project, and quality concerns to be considered together.
In the HTSM, there are nine general techniques that can be used to address test questions and concerns: function, domain, stress, flow, user, regression, risk, claims, and random. Each technique provides a heuristic, or problem-solving method, that can be used to manage testing. Heuristic strategies can be used to plan scripted-testing (regression), or in conjunction with session-based strategies for more exploratory projects (risk, function, user).
All three strategies discussed in this article provide a better vocabulary for communicating the need and purpose of testing to stakeholders in an organization. Have you thought about which approach might be best suited to the needs of your product and team?
Consider discussing the approaches during your next planning or retrospective meetings to determine whether one or more of them can be used to enhance testing efforts and, if you have any questions or feedback – please do let us know by leaving a comment below!


All you theater pieces providing a pleasant escape from the angry buzzing clutter of real life and a temporary break from discouraged, rage-engaged, politically charged Facebook feeds, take a step forward. Ah-ah-ah, NOT so fast Disgraced at San Jose Stage. Nice try. I know you were written in 2006, but don't think that little fact will allow you to hide amongst the "art for entertainment's sake." Laugh riot, fantasy-fueled, no-brainer you most certainly are not. Don't you dare try to blend into the landscape. I see you there with your highly topical, thought-provoking, self-examining, shock and awe intensity. Your triggers and powerful parallels did not escape me. You cannot hide. Nor should you.
Indeed, with a script so timely (or STILL so timely) I had to wonder if my experience would have been different had I seen it 3 months ago, or even a week prior. This show raises and examines a lot of questions and is crafted in such an honest, tight way, that we don't have time (or inclination) to struggle to make excuses or justify anyone's actions. You have time to watch and feel in the moment as it unfolds, but not take sides – a difficult, but supremely effective structural device. It's so evenly presented it feels in many ways like being on a jury, instructed to take in all the evidence at face value. Moments of intensity (at levels I rarely feel in theater these days) are made possible by the brutal trifecta of the well-written material, a current political environment that looms uncomfortably just below the surface of the depictions witnessed on stage, and talent that seems to comprehend their material exceptionally well.
This intimate cast navigates the modern material directly and with genuine nuance, not giving in to over acting or "acting" to be honest. The emotional arcs are well traversed by a cast with palpable chemistry and each character/actor has moments of strength and weakness. While all the performances satisfied, the actress playing Jory stood out as nearly flawless. She somehow managed to gift the audience access to a map – pinpointing each moment of her emotional evolution to an exact latitude and longitude. We got her. We knew exactly where she was coming from and I think unanimously enjoyed her journey.
A good production though heavy and disturbing, Disgraced demands 4 jewels out of 5 in the review tiara. It's eerie, provocative and a darkly relevant production that might change you. It will likely shed some new light on your own perspectives and prejudices. It will certainly cause some silence while you process and then conversation after experiencing it. Disgraced plays through February 26th, 2017 at the San Jose Stage in downtown San Jose.

Phone hacking scandal in Lithuania
The Chief Prosecutor's Office of Lithuania has announced that phone conversations of 17 current and former employees of the information agency Baltic News Service have been bugged by Special Investigations Service (STT) during pre-trial investigation in the case of reveal and abuse of state secrecy. The investigation was started last year after BNS reported that Lithuania's State Security Department (VSD) had warned state leaders and two parliamentry committes about possible information provocations from Russian intelligence services. STT also raided the home of the editor of BNS, interrogated six co-workers of BNS and seized some computers. In November, Vilnius Regional Court announced that the raid and interrogation were illegal. It is so far not clear, why the phones of people who were already not working for BNS at the beginnig of the investigation were bugged. It is also not known, who long did the wiretapping last.
building of STT (by lrytas.lt)
BNS has appelaed against the wiretapping: "It is a serious violation of press freedom and absolutely unaccaptbale in a democratic state" - says their press release. They also added that it could reveal confident informations sources.
Prime minister Algirdas Butkevičius condemned the measures applied. President Dalia Grybauskaitė also expressed her view that law enforcement should apply proportional measures and old fashioned, soviet-style methods should be avoided.
In November last year , Grybauskaitė has proposed changes in legislation raising the security of journalists and tightening the requirements of conducting investigations against journalists. Although the president has suggested to the Parliament to discuss it in an urgent manner, the law and legislation committe has approved it only this week.
Darius Raulušaitis, temporarily acting as Chief Prosecutor has informed the press that there is one (female) suspect in the investigation.
Later on, Artūras Paulauskas, chairman of the State Security and Defence Committe has said in an interview, that the information leaked by BNS was not qualified as state secret. It could have been only considered as confidential, which means that the whole investigation was unsubstantiated. He also expressed incomprehension about the fact that the case was handed over to STT.

Tougher State DUI Laws Save Lives
TUESDAY, May 29, 2018 -- States that get tough on drunk driving see drops in alcohol-related car crash deaths, new research shows.
About 30 percent of deaths in car crashes occur when one or more drivers has a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher -- the legal definition of driving while impaired in the United States, the investigators explained. An additional 20 percent of deaths involve alcohol among those whose blood alcohol level is below the legal limit.
"Given the risks involved with alcohol use, strengthening alcohol control policies could help prevent many crash deaths, including the 40 percent of deaths that affect victims who are not themselves driving while intoxicated," said lead study author Dr. Timothy Naimi. He's a physician at the Grayken Center for Addiction at Boston Medical Center.
For the study, Naimi and his colleagues used data on crash deaths from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System. In addition, state alcohol policies were gathered using the Alcohol Policy Scale, a tool developed at the center that analyzes an alcohol policy environment based on 29 alcohol control policies.
The investigators found that in states with more restrictive alcohol policies, the likelihood of alcohol-related crash deaths decreased.
For example, a 1 percent increase in restrictive policies led to a 1 percent drop in the likelihood that a crash was alcohol-related. Across all states, a 10 percent increase in the restrictiveness of policies would translate into about 800 fewer deaths annually, Naimi's team reported.
Moreover, stronger policies also reduced deaths in crashes that involved drivers whose blood alcohol level was below the legal limit.
"Although not reflected in our current laws, the risk of crashes starts to increase at blood alcohol levels well below 0.08 percent, so stronger policies offer a way to reduce those deaths as well," Naimi said in a medical center news release.
Most developed nations have limits for blood alcohol of 0.05 percent or less, and recently the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the National Academies of Sciences have called for lowering drinking limits for driving in the United States, the researchers said.
The report was published online May 29 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.


Inspired by Life: Rejection of Capitalism, or Living Intelligently?
Rejection of Capitalism, or Living Intelligently?
Have you seen this article by Jason Pitzl-Waters? It's fabulous, and you need to read it.
"Practice what you preach before you preach it: Give your stuff away. Reject capitalism. Go to the barter system. Pay more taxes if it pleases you. Come back and let us know how well it works."
Now, if he had actually said all this, I would have shrugged at the comment and gone right by it. Of course many people jumped to his aid as will always happen with fabulous and ethical writers like Jason. But this comment made me think. I've been having an ongoing discussion for the past couple of weeks with my family members about this very thing.
Why do we feel the need to have everything? Of course, as human beings, we are always going to feel envious of what "the other half" has, but what happened to living within your means? What happened to being thankful for what you have, saving up for what you wanted, and staying out of debt? Of course, in the world today, debt it unavoidable. That's okay. We have debt. You, my reader, probably have debt.
What we are talking about is a choice. What do we choose? Do we choose what we need, or what we want? Most people choose what they want.
Lets look at the average family. I fully admit that this is an "average" family in my head, and not based off of any stats, but humor me. Let me know if it is too off base. The "average" family lives in a home they consider moderate. It is probably between 1500 and 2000 sq feet, or a little more, not including the basement. They probably have two cars. A TV in the living room, bedroom, and possibly the basement if they have a rec room in there. They probably have a gaming console or two. They will have a home phone, and each member of the family will also have a cell phone, except maybe the youngest child. They probably have a computer or two in the house, be it laptop or desktop. I'm sure there are things that I'm missing, but you get the picture. Now think of all the debt that would be incurred for that home, those electronics, etc. According to a CNN Money piece (undated) , " The average American household with at least one credit card has nearly $10,700 in credit-card debt " That is just an example of course, but that also doesn't count mortgage, car loans, or any other debt.
Now, would I like to have all that? Yes. I'm not going to lie. However, it's all about priorities. Would I rather have a home that, in my town, would cost upwards of $330,000? Or would I rather not work a "normal" job, and stay at home with my daughter? If I'm going to have credit card debt, what do I want that debt to be for? A new 3D TV? Or the new computer I needed to keep working on because my last one died? Considering that I have financial endeavors which need a computer (Etsy, cookbooks, etc) I'm sure you can guess my choice. That isn't to say that Sean and I weren't drooling over a 3D TV at the mall the other day...Maybe one day, IF we have the money for it. The only reason we have a flat screen HD TV right now is because it was a wedding present. Before that? We made do with a 21", as I liked to call them, bubble screen. In a perfect world, we would be able to save up money for every big purchase instead of putting it on the credit card, and a lot of the time we do. However, we are normal people and have money issues just like everyone else.
I suppose my point is about moderation. If everyone has a cell phone, you don't need a home phone. One computer (unless there is something for a job that needs to be separate) will suffice. Heck, one TV will suffice. We live in 910 sq ft, and we know that when we struggle to find room for things, that just means we have too much stuff.
It isn't about rejecting capitalism. It's about rejecting excess. It doesn't mean you have to live a minimalist life, you just have to live within your means. Has the American financial system done Americans wrong? I believe so. Is the Occupy Movement relevant? I think it is, and also vitally important. Those who had homes taken away by greed not their own are not to blame - but maybe we need to look at what we really need, instead of what we want, and make our choices accordingly.
Did you know that the excessive consumer capitalism is only about 60 years old. For many of us, we are trying to unlearn a now generation spanning "hunger" for things that was engineered through advertising and psychology.
It's not easy, but I think it's really necessary to rethink how the world has been living at large. Some of us are dying from obesity, while other humans die of starvation. Western society is acting like a plague of locusts, but it can't go on forever. As soon as we all embrace the idea that things don't bring happiness and that hunger for justice, equality, happiness, completion can't be fed with stuff, we'll all be ready to take another step forward as a species.
This is excellent, and I thoroughly agree.

This video demonstrates why stock market volume analysis doesn't work as well as most people think it does (highly controversial, but true!).
Today's article (and video) demonstrates why stock market volume analysis doesn't work as well as most people think it does. Yes, this is another one of my controversial lessons (like last week's on trend lines).
Most people are taught that price action and volume are the 2 most reliable things you can use in trading.
Sorry – you've been deceived! Stock market volume analysis isn't as reliable as you've been taught to believe and in this video I'll share with you EXACTLY why.
Enjoy the video and please leave your comments below (even if they're negative!).

Hey welcome to this video on trading price action patterns.
Welcome to this tutorial on Stock Market Trading Volume Analysis and Dark Pools.
This is Doctor Barry Burns with Top Dog Trading, and you know I've had a lot of people who recently have asked me why I don't talk more about volume when analyzing stock market charts. And so I am going to share that with you today. I do use volume in my analysis but perhaps not as much as other people. And I'm going to give you the exact reason why, right now.
I've had people email me saying, "The only leading indicator is volume." They say volume's a leading indicator. Okay, that sentence is completely wrong. Everything about that sentence is wrong.
Number 1, volume is not an indicator. Volume is just what it is. It's like price. Price isn't an indicator. It's not a mathematical calculation of anything. It's not derivative of data, and neither is volume.
WHAT IS STOCK MARKET VOLUME ANALYSIS?
Volume is just what it is. The number of shares in the stock market or lots, or contracts, or forex, or futures that are traded. So it's not an indicator it is actual fact. So it's not a derivative of anything. It's not a calculation. So first of all calling volume an indicator is wrong.
Number 2, it is not leading. It is actually often lagging. So let's take a couple of looks at that. And I'll explain to you why it's lagging. Especially today.
In my trading, I'm buying cycle lows and shorting cycle highs in certain situation. You have to look at the whole landscape of the chart. So for example, you know if I wanted to buy a cycle low here, I would you know buy literally right there. Right at that bar.
Now where does our volume increase come? Our Volume increase comes here. Way up there. So if you were buying this and you're waiting for a surge of volume, which happens here, you won't be getting in until here. And how far does the market go. Well it goes there and then it comes down and it breaks this low right here. That means this is not a good time. It's not optimal time to get into the market.
IS VOLUME A LEADING INDICATOR?
If you wait for the volume to increase, you are actually getting in late. It is not a leading indicator, it's not a leading indication. It's not a leading anything. It's often late to the party. So I'm getting in before the big volume comes in. the big volume is great but see you would really have to suffer through this move against your position, against these lows, psychologically that can be very challenging to deal with.
Now look over here. We have another obvious surge of volume right here with this bar. And what is that? Well the market's actually coming down. That occurs on this red bar. So we've got this level of volume in here. It finally breaks out above that. But it breaks down, or it breaks out on a red bar, while the market's coming down. And so that would almost make one think well maybe some big short selling is coming in. No, that's not at all what happened. In fact it didn't move down much beyond that at all.
And then the next obvious big surge in volume comes in on this bar. Again late to the party. Not early at the cycle low. Not even at the break out. And so it occurs in about the middle of the move. Hardly a leading indication. And so that's the second thing wrong with that statement is it is not leading at all.
HOW CAN VOLUME BE USED EFFECTIVELY IN TRADING?
Right moving to another section here. Here's one way that I will use volume. And that is not for the beginning of move, you would think that the market would start out with a big surge of volume to get momentum behind the move. And I've shown you that that's not quite the case, usually occurs about in the middle or even a little bit later in an impulse move.
Now here is one place where it does provide quite a bit of accuracy and many situations. And that's actually the end of a move. So we get this exhaustion pattern. The market comes down and this impulse move down ends on exhaustion.
At this place we get a big move up, so some people might say, oh look see it started a new move. Not really. Because often with these exhaustion patterns like this with big volume, they don't always go back up, sometimes they'll just consolidate for a while. I've studied many of these charts over and over and over.
Here's another example. There's a big surge of volume, and where does the market go? Really doesn't go anywhere. It just kind of goes sideways from there. And so again here is another surge of volume. Where it comes in. comes in in the middle of the impulse move. Not at the low, and not at the high. It comes in in the middle. To me, that's late to the party.
Here's an illustration of what I was talking about before, for exhaustion patterns when doing stock market volume analysis. Here's an exhaustion pattern, market gap down. We get a nice sound exhaustion pattern candle stick, big volume coming in. now again some people would say, oh that could be a beginning of a new up move. And I said, no it can just go sideways, here it does.
It goes sideways for a while and this is a daily chart, so 1, 2, 3, 4 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, almost about 2 weeks actually. Little more than 2 weeks actually, because these are trading days. So just consolidates for over 2 weeks, and then it goes down a little bit more.
Just because you get in exhaustion pattern type volume, that's not in and of itself a good reason to take a reversal trade, or in this case to buy. So let's finish up talking about why this is happening. Why this is true, why it's so counterintuitive. And why it's against traditional teaching.
The reason is actually very simple. Volume as a leading indicator just isn't even accurate. It doesn't work. It's not reliable. And the reason is, hold on to your hats.
The primary reason, the big picture is that the big institutions, the big players, pension plans, everybody's trading this huge money. They don't want to be trapped. And they know that if they come in with huge orders, everybody in the world looks down there and they can see that volume histogram and they are going to use that. They say, "Oh the big boys are coming in." They don't want you to know when they are coming in. so they do a couple of things.
One thing they do is they come in through various means. In other words, they are not going to just buy, in this case Disney, they are going to come in through various markets, through various exchanges, through different financial instruments. The other thing, and they might do it overtime with accumulation.
The other thing though that a lot of people are not of aware is dark pools. What are dark pools? Dark pools are non-exchange trading in the markets. So it's basically institutional investors who want to buy or sell huge, maybe a million shares of a stock. They don't want you to see that. So they actually will go to a dark pool. Which is basically private exchanges or forums, for trading stocks.
It's not a public stock exchange. So the volume, that they are trading, they are trading it but it won't show up down here on your volume histogram. And by the way they are a big deal. This is not something that's just occurring on a small scale.
In fact I did a little research on this, and Investopedia said that in 2014, Non-exchange trading in the US accounted for about 40% of all US stock trades. 40%. So how can you rely on volume when 40% of the volume, and that by the way, 40% is not the little guy. That 40% are the big institutions. The pros, the whales, the smart money. The smart money is not showing up here my friends. And that's why volume is very deceiving, not only it isn't reliable, looking stock market volume analysis can actually be very deceiving.

Titan of business and philanthropy, Gary Winnick '69 never loses sight of his family and roots.
In the late 1950s a popular television series called The Millionaire told the stories of people—average Americans from all walks of life—whose lives were altered suddenly by the gift of $1 million bestowed by a man named Michael Anthony, executive secretary of an anonymous benefactor named John Beresford Tipton Jr. Thousands of Americans tuned in each week to see how the lives of Tipton's beneficiaries played out. One of those viewers was a Fresh Meadows, Queens resident named Gary Winnick (B.A. '69), who was eight years old when The Millionaire began its five-year run.
Like lots of youngsters watching television, Winnick often fantasized about being one of the characters. But it wasn't Tipton, wealthy enough to give away a million dollars to a complete stranger every week. Nor was it the recipients of Tipton's largesse.
In the summer of 1957, like thousands of post-war New Yorkers, Arnold and Blanche Winnick and their children—Gary Winnick, older brother Roy ('66), and Susan—migrated east for the American dream of home ownership on Long Island, settling in the historic Mackay Estate development of Roslyn, N.Y., Winnick spent the rest of his childhood in an area known as the "Gold Coast." It's where he got his driver's license and his first job, graduated from high school and, while he was a student at LIU Post (then C.W. Post), experienced the most profound moment of his young adulthood.
His father, Arnold Winnick, not an industrial titan, but he was a successful, self-made man. He owned a restaurant supply business, and he strove to pass along to his children some of the knowledge he'd gained building it. He wanted them to become resourceful and resilient.
The Winnicks encouraged their children to go to college near home. LIU was one of Arnold's customers and he often extolled its virtues to his family. Roy Winnick was already attending LIU Post in 1965 when Gary Winnick enrolled as a business and economics major.
By then he had moved on from Howard Johnson's to a sales position at a nearby ski shop. Later he became assistant manager at a local golf club. "I took as many classes as possible early in the day, so that I'd be done by early afternoon and could go to my job," said Winnick.
Winnick was earning good grades in school and liked his job, but in the spring of his freshman year, his dad passed away unexpectedly. He went to a regular card game with friends one evening and he didn't come home. Gary Winnick was shaken.
The university became like another family for him, something he needed to fill the hole left by his father's death. "Post was my grounding during a very difficult and formative period for me," Winnick said. He joined Phi Sigma Delta fraternity and threw himself into his classes and his work with new intensity.

Plans separation by end of 2015.
Information security giant Symantec has confirmed it will split into two public companies focused on security and information management by the end of next year.
The company today confirmed the long-rumoured plan, and said its decision came after an internal review found growth and shareholder value would be increased by operating as two business.
Symantec's Information Management business - which generated revenue of $2.5 billion in the 2014 financial year - will include backup and recovery, storage management, archiving, and information availability solutions.
A new standalone Security business will offer encryption, endpoint security, user authentication, data loss prevention, hosted and managed security, Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") Certificates, and security for mail, web and data centre. The security division brought in revenue of $4.2 billion in FY2014.
Symantec has for several years operated in two distinct market spaces - its security business bolstered by the acquisitions of the Norton product line, MessageLabs, Altiris and Verisign's authentication unit; while its information management business grew predominantly out of the US$13.5 billion buy of Veritas in 2004.
Symantec CEO Michael Brown said succeeding in both security and information management would require distinct strategies and investments.
"It has become clear that winning in both security and information management requires distinct strategies, focused investments and go-to market innovation," he said in a statement.
A Symantec Australia spokesperson could not confirm how the split would affect the local business and employees.
"As we've just announced our plan to split the company, we are still early in the planning process and are not ready to provide this level of detail. We will be in a position to share more information with you over the coming months," she said.
Brown will continue as Symantec's CEO and will serve as the head of the new Security business.
John Gannon, who was a former chief operating officer at Quantum and head of HP's PC business, will become the general manager of the Information Management business.
Fellow technology giant HP similarly announced earlier this week its intention to separate its PC and enterprise businesses.
Online auction company eBay also last week revealed it would spin off its electronic payment service PayPal.

Q: How do you create a variadic function that doesn't need the caller to pass arguments count to it? EDIT: I am pleased to see that there is a solution for C++11. Regardless, no one has yet come up with an answer for C++98. So, even though I've accepted an answer, the question still stands.
Let us assume you have a function within a namespace:
namespace Math
{
  int Sum(<params>);
}

How do you implement this function Math::Sum such that the caller can call it with any number of arguments yet the caller doesn't need to pass the number of arguments too.
The caller also needs to still have to fully qualify it at the call site. Example:
Math::Sum(2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12)

A: Here is one generic way that works, in C++11, with any type supporting the additive operator (operator +):
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

template<typename T, typename U>
auto Sum(T&& t, U&& u) -> decltype(t + u)
{
    return (t + u);
}

template<typename T, typename... Ts>
auto Sum(T&& t, Ts&&... ts) -> decltype(
    t + Sum(std::forward<Ts>(ts)...)
    )
{
    return t + Sum(std::forward<Ts>(ts)...);
}

int main()
{
    std::cout << Sum(1, 2, 3) << std::endl;
    std::cout << Sum(1.0, 2.0, 3.0) << std::endl;
    std::cout << Sum(std::string("Hello "), std::string("World!")) << std::endl;
}

A: The approach used by std::min and std::max in C++11 is to take an initializer_list
int Sum(std::initializer_list<int>);

This is suitable when all the arguments should be the same type. You would call it as Sum({ 1, 2, 3, 4})


However, apart from testing the basic process paths a lot of other things demand testing too. Business processes can populate data in downstream systems, integrate with services, create events, send notifications, assign workflow tasks which may have their own lifecycle, etc. From a quality perspective all of these steps must be verified too. The overall functionality of the business processes must be thoroughly tested to determine their reliability before being deployed to the actual IT infrastructures. Organizations do invest in quality measures to evaluate features of business processes by employing a comprehensive testing strategy, involving analysts, developers, functional testers and business users. However they begin to invest in test automation very late in the project lifecycle. This poses a significant threat and concern, particularly when the business processes are continuously changing and evolving. An increasing pace of business process changes as well as applications growing more complex means that many functional testing teams are reaching the breaking point. Change management becomes difficult as there is always a risk of introducing new bugs down the way. As much as we all would like to have agility, the process is defeated by having improper developer operations. Having a regression functional testing suite very early in BPM project development cycle is, by my opinion a must have thing for any successful and timely implementation. More often than not, it is not the choice of technology that is responsible for this but rather the lack of some important know-how's.
In my interactions with different project teams, here are some typical questions they have, especially with respect to testing business processes in Oracle BPM Suite 11g.
Is it possible to really approach functional testing early in the project cycle considering the nature of composite applications involved (business processes, services, rules, etc.).
Human tasks components in business processes need to have user interfaces (which may have their own development lifecycle). How can functional testing be achieved before a fully operational UI?
Are their any developer tools, approaches or frameworks that can be utilized to automate functional testing?
What kind of a functional testing strategy is suitable, cost efficient and good to contain a wide variety of problems in the project lifecycle?
If we begin to investigate the possibilities, they may be endless. I, am particularly aware of many custom products which promises to take care of all of these. However hey tend to be expensive, have a steep learning curve and may not always fit the bill. This act as a big deterrent. However, in this article, I am keen on presenting an approach that is quick, easy, developer friendly and can be easily catered in the development phase of the project. The best way to begin with functional testing is to base it on the business process design. Model driven functional testing ensures that critical processes and their paths are covered and that any variation of those tests can easily be amended and rerun without adding to significant time to the test cycle. Functional testing can start earlier and better quality tests are produced and maintained in a test repository. This can then be part of the continuous build and integration iterations to ensure sufficient test coverage in accelerated delivery cycles. A part of model driven testing strategy was described in details with respect to ascertaining the cyclomatic complexity factor of the business processes and deriving test cases based on that. This approach is a very good starting point, especially because this can be used to build unit tests too. Once the basic process paths are determined, the functional test suites can incorporate a lot of test steps to cover the functional aspects such as validate business logic and rules, verify data across systems, check events and notifications, etc..
With all this being said, however, automation of functional testing will only be successful if an organization's underlying quality fundamentals are solid and everyone clearly understands how testing can continuously support process iterations. Another big advantage to automate early is potential time savings. Considering that multiple stakeholders will need to repeat their testing task, every time something changes, doing them manually becomes a burden sooner or later. Have a look at the sheet I've compiled based on various time and frequency of performing functional tests and the effort involved in each case.
The columns marked in green in the above sheet reflects the most likely scenarios in terms of the amount of time spent on testing in various Oracle BPM Suite 11g projects. The effort involved in manual testing can range from 20 days to 4 months for a very simple and less frequently changing business process to a complex and often changing business process. This effort does not accounts for test planning but simply reflect the time spent in test execution. The columns in red represents scenarios that can be applicable for certain project types too and in those cases the amount of time spent in manual testing can be even 8 months. This offcourse is under the assumption that all quality standards of software functional testing are maintained.
As indicated before, there are many players in this field providing varied approaches and option. This article will not debate their merits here. In the course of my involvement with BPM projects, I seems to incline towards SOAPUI. This is particularly due to the fact that it is pretty inexpensive (there is also a freeware if ~$350 license cost seems significant) and does most of the basic functional testing that can be considered acceptable from a quality perspective. It is fairly straight forward too and the learning curve is minimal. Chances are also high that in most projects there will be developers with considerable amount of experience using SOAPUI, if they have been involved in a SOA project in the past.
Having said that, this article will talk about how to plan and implement a comprehensive and automated functional testing suite for business processes developed using Oracle BPM Suite 11g.
I will use the same employee expense approval business process that was discussed in my previous blog. This process has primarily all the ingredients that any complex business process has i.e it is fairly unstructured, have business rules, human workflow components, arbitrary cycles, gateways, events and writes to external applications. As a refresher, the process map looks like below in the JDeveloper studio.
The modelling workspace and the version of Oracle BPM Suite used in this demonstration is 11gR1PS5 i.e 11.1.1.6. The version of SOAP UI being used is 4.5.0 (excuse my backwardness in terms of working with the latest versions of these tools). I use the open source version of SOAPUI but for better productivity and ease of use you may consider using the Pro version too. A connection to the database is also necessary to be able to create certain database objects that the project requires. The version of the database, though, can be any generic with the only exception that it has to be Oracle database.The concepts discussed in this blog are however generic and applicable to any version of the above products.
In order to import the implemented expense approval project in JDeveloper, obtain the composite (ExpenseApprovalComposite.zip), unzip it and open the application (.jws) file in the studio. As can be noticed from the BPMN mode, the process populates some database tables with expense and payment records at various stages. To be able to deploy and execute the project, a database schema and certain tables needs to be created. On the Weblogic server side, there is a need to create a data source and add a new connection factory to the database resource adapter.
Doing this set-up is pretty simple. I have created some SQL and ANT scripts that can do all of this. Follow the instructions below to execute these scripts to create the required resources.
Download and unzip the DatabaseSchema.zip file in a local directory.
Open the edit the create_expense_structure.bat and simply substitute the sys password with the one for the database you are using. This script assumes that a local XE flavour of the database is running. If this is any different then modify the bat file accordingly.
Open a command prompt and cd to the directory containing the bat file. Simply run the batch file in the prompt.
This will create a database user "EXPENSE" and two tables in it called EMPLOYEE_EXPENSE_PAYMENT and EMPLOYEE_EXPENSE_RECORD.
Verify that the scripts ran okay and the database artefacts were created.
Unzip the ResourceAdapter.zip in a local directory.
Open the build.properties file and substitute the middleware home location with the one being used. Also modify the values of the database server, weblogic server, domain, connection credentials etc. Properties that needs to be changed are marked in the build.properties file through comments.
Open a command prompt and cd to the local directory where the contents of the .zip file are placed.
Type ant makeDataSource to create the required datasource in the weblogic server to connect to the EXPENSE schema created in the step before.
Once the build is successful type ant createResourceAdapterEntries in the same command prompt.
This will create the database adapter connection factory and update it with the datasource created before. It also updates the DbAdapter deployment plan to commit all these changes onto the server.
Verify that the script executes successfully. If it doesn't then there may be a problem in substituting values in the build.properties file.
As a last resort, you may configure these resources manually on the server or alternatively send me your configuration files along with the error(s).
Once the project has been set-up and the required artefacts are created, it is time to look into creating a functional testing suite for the expense approval processes. Once we create the functional tests, they can be used for regression every time there are changes made to the business processes. A good practice is to always accept any changes when it is accompanied by a functional test case and when all existing test cases pass the regression. However the dynamics here may be dependent upon the level of business user's involvement in creating ad-hoc changes to the business process after it is deployed. If business users are empowered to make dynamic changes, then it cannot be expected of them to create/modify the functional test cases supporting their changes. This situation demands a change control process in place. I am of the personal opinion that to ensure the quality of business processes running on the production environment, changes must always be supported with regression. Whether business analysts and process analysts create these tests or whether they get it done from developers is a matter of having a governance around the change control.
Nevertheless it is pertinent to have an initial set of functional tests. If you managed to read the previous blog post on unit testing business processes in Oracle BPM Suite 11g, you must have noticed how we employed cyclomatic complexity to determine the number of unique test cases required to provide a cent percent test coverage. From the functional testing perspective, we will still create the same number of test cases but also have a series of test steps to validate that the business process is indeed doing all the right things.
As determined before the following test cases shows the various routes a process can take from all the conditional nodes. To ensure the utmost quality, we will have as many functional test cases too.
The following section will demonstrate a series of test steps that will be created to fully functionally test one of the test cases (here Test Case 3: Submit, Refer, Manager Approve, Finance Approve, Approve). Other test cases can be created in the similar lines.
Launch soapUI and create a new soapUI project. Put ExpenseApprovalTest as the project name and copy the wsdl localtion in the Initial WSDL/WADL field. Also check the option to create sample requests for all operations.
This will create a soapUI project in the existing workspace. Now right click on the project and click on New TestSuite to create a new test suite inside the project. Name it as Expense Approval Functional Tests.
A test suite can have multiple test cases that can be run either individually or all together as part of the test suite (either sequentially or in parallel). Once the test suite is created, right click on it to create a New TestCase inside it. Name the test case as T3_Refer_ManagerApprove_FinanceApprove_Approve.
A test case is constituted of a series of test steps that are executed in sequence one after another. Testing a business process will involve initiating the business process through the message based event, capturing data in the human tasks, simulating user behaviour on the workflow screens and verifying that once the process is completed, it is in the right state, populates the right statuses in the end systems and follow the expected process path.
A test case in its due steps may need to refer some constant values or store values intermittently to be used in later steps. soapUI allows creation of global, test suite level as well as test case level properties. While properties at the test suite level are more appropriate to hold any constants (or pass them between multiple test cases), properties in the test cases are used primarily for passing information between multiple steps. Create the following properties at each level. You will notice that the test suite properties have been set to some constant values.
The properties can then be accessed as variable using the below construct.
It is commonly believed that a business process with human tasks will need a functional user interface in order to test it. However it is not true. Oracle BPM Suite 11g offers both Web Services as well as JAVA based API's to interact with the workflow tables. The operations in these API's can be used to search and query for tasks, update task payloads and outcome, attach comments and attachments etc. Access the following posts to be able to get a glimpse of the human workflow API's.
In this article I will be using the Web Service API's to simulate the human tasks when building the functional test steps. The first step in the test case is to create a unique identifier (random number) that can be used to set the conversation id while invoking the business process. Setting up a conversation id is important as the composite/component instances ID's can be determined by querying the dehydration store against it. In soapUI a Groovy Script based test step can be used to generate a random number. Name this step as Create Conversation Identifier and paste the following groovy code snippet in the code editor.
The groovy script dynamically populates the CONVERSATION ID property in the test case with the uniquely generated number.
Add a new SOAP Test Request and name it as Submit Employee Expenses – submit expense application. When needing to specify the operation to invoke selectApproveEmployeeExpenseBinding –> submitExpenseApplication from the available options. As a matter of best practices, I typically append the name of the process model object that is being interacted with in the name of the test step. This is important to maintain a visibility of which event in the process is invoked or which human task is updated/actioned.
Copy the following payload to trigger the business process. The combination of business unit and expense total will force the business rule activity in the business process to send this instance to a manager review.
It is also very important to note here that the business process, by the virtue of message based start and end events, is implemented as an asynchronous web service. When the process completes it will send an asynchronous call-back to the initiator at a call-back address. Basically Oracle BPM Suite 11g supports WS-Addressing. The conversation id generated in the previous step can be used as the unique correlation identifier when invoking the submitExpenseApplication operation. Also the initiator can define a call-back address (Reply To in the addressing header) where the engine can send the call-back response.
In soapUI WS-Addressing related headers can be added by clicking on the WS-A tab in the test step. The WS-A addressing enabled option has to be selected and the must understand flag is to be set to TRUE. The MessageID field is populated with the CONVERSATION ID test case property. Also provide a reply to address like below to let the BPMN engine register the the call-back address for this instance. This will be used in a future step.
The first test to be performed is to be able to successfully determine whether the soap request was successfully delivered to the end point. Since it is an asynchronous request, the response is not received in the same thread. Hence the only way to determine a success is to verify that the HTTP status code received is correct. To do that, add a status assertion for a Valid HTTP Status Code.Enter 202 (Accepted) as the expected status code. This status code reflects that the request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon, as it might be disallowed or fault out when processing actually takes place. The 202 response does not requires an initiator's connection to the server persist until the process is completed.
The above test step will create an instance of the expense approval process which can be seen and verified through the enterprise manager. The next test step to add is to retrieve the composite instance, ecid and the composite state from the CUBE_INSTANCE and COMPOSITE_INSTANCE tables in the dehydration store against the conversation id. The conversation id supplied by the initiator is stored in the CUBE_INSTANCE table. This will correctly grab the instance metadata for the instance that was created in the test steps above.
Add a new JDBC Request test step and name it as Retrieve Composite Instance ID. A JDBC test step will require a JDBC driver and connection string and an SQL query to be specified. But before this can event work, you will need to copy the ojdbc5.jar under the $soapUIHome/bin/ext folder. This jar facilitates the connection to an oracle database from soapUI. The following values can be specified for the different properties in the JDBC request test step. Be careful to substitute the database connection details with the ones reflecting your environment.
The SQL query returns important metadata with respect to the composite instance that is created. soapUI allows adding assertions to each test steps in a test case. Assertions are a very good way to add functional validation at each test steps. The following screenshot shows the four different assertions that are added to this test step. The composite name and version are validated against the values of these properties specified in the functional test. The state value of 0 indicates that the process instance has been initiated.
The instance might not be created immediately and available to be queried against the dehydration store. It may take a couple of seconds for the instance to be initiated. It may be required to add a Delay test step in between the SOAP and JDBC request test steps.
The values retrieved from the JDBC request test step and the original payload passed in the SOAP test request can be saved to the test case properties so that they can be used in the next test steps. A Property Transfer test case can be added for this purpose. Name the step as Capture Process Properties and add four test step properties viz. ECID, INSTANCE ID, PAYLOAD and EMPID.For each of the properties the appropriate values can be captured by specifying the source test step, the variable (request, response or raw request, etc.) and the target test step property. When the property transfer test step is executed the test suite properties will have the most current values depending upon the payload entered and the results retrieved by querying the database schemas.
Once the process is triggered/initiated it creates an entry in the EMPLOYEE_EXPENSE_RECORD table with the relevant employee and expense details. TheEXPENSE_APPROVAL_STATUS column at this stage should be marked with a SUBMITTED status, assuming it is used for tracking the state of expenses. From a functionality standpoint it should be verified whether this is indeed the status. To be able to do that is soapUI will mean creating another JDBC Request test step. Name this as Verify Expense Record – Create Expense Record (here Create Expense Record is the name of the BPMN activity in the process model which executes the database update).
In the JDBC test step, the connection string this time should be specific to the Expense schema that was created initially. The SQL query to fetch the record for a given employee is determined uniquely by the employee id and the record reference (populated with ECID).
In the same test step, assertions can be added to verify the expense approval status and also the expense approver, if applicable. A JDBC status validation assertion is also added as this is something that should preferably added to each JDBC Request step.
For this particular test case, the business rule will determine that a manager approval is required before the expense is presented to the finance user. The business process instances initiates a workflow task that is available to the designated user in his in-tray. In the most basic scenario the task is available to be be actioned by the user(s) assigned to the process swimlane role.
At this stage if the audit trail of the instance is viewed it will correctly represent that the process has initiated and is waiting at the Approve Employee Expense human task activity.
Interacting with the task is very easy and straight forward. Fortunately there is no need for a properly designed UI to be able to test the user interactions with the business process. Oracle BPM Suite 11g provides Human Workflow web services that can be invoked with the proper operations to simulate the UI behaviour.
When an instance reaches any human task activity the human workflow engine initiates a task with the appropriate task metadata along with a unique taskId and number.
The workflow engine captures this metadata in the WFTASK table in the dehydration store. Querying this table against the task definition name, composite instance id and the ECID will return a task identified for the initiated task.
Create a JDBC Request test step yet again and name it as Retrieve Task Identifier – Approve Employee Expense. Use a connection string specifying the details of the SOAINFRA schema and the following sql query to uniquely determine the task identifier for the initiated human task.
The task identifier that is fetched as a result of the sql query will be used in the future test steps to query and update task details using the workflow APIs. In order to use it forward, a property transfer step (Capture Human Task Identifier – Approve Employee Expense) has to be created to copy this value to the TASKID property of the test case.
This task id will now be used in the forthcoming test steps to operate on the human task. In order to do so, first of all we will need to add two more WSDL files to our soapUI test project. These WSDL files can be located at the following end points after substituting the appropriate values for the host and port where the soa server is running. This will add all the operations in these services to the soapUI project catalogue.
Once the WSDLs have been added, add another SOAP Request test step. When prompted for a name put Get Task Details from Task Indetifier – Approve Employee Expenses (long but very descriptive, pinning down the actual human task activity in the process model for which this test step is performed).
Select the getTaskDetailsByID operation in the TaskQueryService wsdl in order to retrieve the task details by providing the task identifier. Invoking this operation also requires appropriate credentials. The task identified is captured in the test case property TASKID. The operation returns the entire human workflow task consisting of the payload as well as additional task metadata. In order to ascertain that all functionality requirements are met, a couple of assertions could be added. As this is a synchronous service invocation, add assertions for a valid soap response, schema compliance and that no soap fault is encountered. These assertions are available in the Compliance, Status and Standards tab of the Add Assertion window.
Apart from the web service assertions, also verify that the task state is correctly set to a value of Assigned. Also verify that the task version reason is equal toTASK_VERSION_REASON_INITIATED confirming that the task is in an initiated state at this stage. These elements are child of the systemAttributes element in the task data and can be queried with the following XPath expressions.
The task metadata returned from the service call has a section called task payload. This represents the initial arguments passed to the human task when it is initiated. As part of a manager approval or any other interaction with a form based user interface, process participants may change data in the forms (editable arguments) after which they may action the task (reassign, delegate, approve, reject, suspend etc.). Depending upon the functional requirements of task management, we may have to create appropriate steps at this point and validate the behaviour. For instance, tasks may always be reassigned to a team leader who may then reassign them to actual participants who have to then action them. In this case a test step to invoke the reassignTask operation in theTaskService service may be required. This test case assumes that a team lead simply puts in his comments (which is part of the payload here and saved to the expense record table) and approves the expenses.
Add a property transfer step and name it as Capture Human Task Payload – Approve Employee Expense. The purpose of this step is to take the task payload from the response of the previous step, modify the comments child in the approval status element (replace it with a value such as "Manager Approved") and transfer this to the TASKPAYLOAD property in the test case. In this example, an XQuery function is used to achieve this however any other smarter way can be employed too.
Once the payload has been modified (mimicking the user's behaviour in the form), the task metadata has to be updated in the dehydration store so that the workflow engine is aware of the changes made. This can be done by passing the modified task data to the updateTask operation in the TaskService. Add another SOAP Request test step to call it as Update Human Task – Approve Employee Expense. Choose updateTask as the operation from the TaskService. soapUI will populate the default request but the service will work with only the credential of the user trying to perform the update and the task itself (which is now available in the TASKPAYLOAD property). Apart from the usual soap based assertions an important assertion to be determined here is the state of the verionReason element in the task. Verify that it is now modified to TASK_VERSION_REASON_UPDATED.
The final step in moving this task out of the manager's inbox is to emulate his action, which can either be approve or reject. Task outcomes can be committed to the workflow engines through theupdateTaskOutcome operation in the TaskService. Once an outcome has been received by the human task engine it will send a call-back to the business process with the response, which is waiting for it at the human task step. The business process will then proceed ahead, update the expense record table with the status of manager's decision and evaluate the manager's outcome at the exclusive gateway. As we are interested in the scenario where the manager approves the expenses the business process will initiate a task for the finance approver.
The operation only requires the outcome flag and the task identifier along with the user credential in able to submit the request. There is one important thing to be kept in mind in this test step. Only those users who have been mapped to the swimlane role to which the task is assigned or reassigned to can update the task outcome.
Create another JDBC Request step to verify that the expense record is updated with the expected value.
As the task moves to the Finance Approver's inbox, the WFTASK table can be again queried to determine the task id corresponding to this task. The following query (similar to the one used before) can be used to retrieve the new task identifier. The only difference in this query is the TASKDEFINITONNAME filter, which basically have to be set with how the finance approval task is called.
At this point, a few of the test steps that were created to fetch the task id from WF task table, copy it to the test case TASKID, retrieve the task payload, modify it and then update the task outcome has to be repeated for the finance approval task too. To maintain visibility, append the name of the human task i.e Administer Expense Payment to each of these steps. After these steps are created the functional test case will reach a point where it has emulated all human steps in the business process, asserted the functional points, and verified that the instance is behaving as expected.
Once a member of the finance approval team approves the expenses, notice that the business process model updates the payment register as well as the expense record tables. The business process then ends with a message based event viz. expense paid. This triggers an asynchronous call-back to the client calling the business process if it is waiting for one.
As a next logical step in the functional testing scenario is to verify that the updates to the end systems has correctly happened and also to somehow receive the process end response to assert if it has the right status. It is also recommended to have some additional test steps to even verify that the instance state is marked as completed in the dehydration store to fully satisfy all functional aspects.
To begin with these assertions, add a Mock Response test step in the test case and name it Receive Process Callback Response – expenses paid. Select the expensePaid callback operation from the ApproveEmployeeExpensePortTypeCallBackBinding interface.
It is also worth while to add a property transfer step to Capture the Expense Amount total and assign it to the EXPENSETOTAL test case property. This is done by summing all the amounts in the expense list submitted by the employee.
As indicated earlier, the final steps in the test case is to create a couple of additional JDBC test steps to verify that the updates to the tables are consistent with the instance data by adding the necessary assertions.
Optionally it can also be verified that the process instance has successfully completed. This can be queried against the dehydration store tables. The CUBE_INSTANCE and the COMPOSITE_INSTANCE table stores the process instance header and the state data. The state column has a numerical value which can be translated into a very informative physical state of the instance. The given query can be executed to retrieve and decode the status from these two tables.
As a last step verify that the state in the cube instance table is CLOSED AND COMPLETED and COMPLETED in the composite instance table.
The test case is now complete in a way that it can successfully test all the major functionality of the business process. This increases operational as well as developer efficiency since continuous changes to business processes can be supported without too much worrying about them breaking existing logic. From here it is also possible to create functional test cases to test all possible paths of the business process. These test cases can be ran together as part of an integrated test suite. Creating additional test case is very easy as it mostly involves cloning an existing test case and making some necessary modifications with test data and steps. Once they are created they can be run together as part of the original Expense Approval Functional Tests suite either sequentially or in parallel.
soapUI also provides a way to run and extract reports out of these tests through ant/maven and hence it is extremely easy to incorporate them in the release cycle. If you can use soapUI pro, you have the out of the box ability to generate a wide variety of reports for the executed tests too. The basic version can be used to publish JUnit type tests, which I believe are good enough if considering running these tests in a continuous integration fashion.
Business process testing covers how well the system executes the functions it is supposed to execute; including user actions, data manipulation and integrations. It is done to validate the solution as defined in the business requirements and detailed technical specifications document for each processes. It may often contain the highest overall number of test cases, as it is focused on testing the entire system, not just small bits or units of code. Business processes are tested to ensure that the edits, changes, and outputs conform to the required specifications and/or expectations. Business process testing is also often the most complex area of testing as it involves testing processes during development cycles as it occurs and also when processes evolve through multiple changes post deployment. Automating this testing process will provide extreme productivity, quality and add dynamism to business processes. This article can be used as a reference to carve out a strategy to do so. Off course there may be may way but in my experience, I have found out this way to be effective, easy and without any financial obligation to invest in expensive tools.
The composite project, setup scripts, soapUI projects and some sample reports used in this article can be found here. Please feel free to share opinions, feedback and suggestions and I will be glad to provide any help.

Q: PDO/PHP Script Query Database (Game Server baning system) The Database structure:

*

*Name: person who the offense is against

*Reason: reason given for punishment

*Admin: who issued the punishment

*ID: PK

*Type: 1,2,3,4,5

type 3 : kick
type 0: ban
The way it's setup is once the player is given a punishment it will add a new row to the database. I'm trying to create a PHP script where players can enter their usernames on the website (their username=name field in database and it will show all the offenses on their account.
What i have so far:
$name = $_GET["username"];

try {
$conn = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=server', 'username', 'pass');
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

$data = $conn->query('SELECT * FROM logs WHERE name = ' . $conn->quote($name));

} catch(PDOException $e) {
    echo 'ERROR: ' . $e->getMessage();
}

I'm not sure about where i go from here in terms of displaying the data if the above is even correct or not.

A: Straight from PDO tag wiki
$stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM logs WHERE name = ?');
$stmt->execute(array($_GET["username"]));
$data = $stmt->fetchAll();
?>

<? foreach ($data as $row): ?>

    <?=$row['type']?>

Q: Should we prove the well-definedness? Here is the question I am trying to prove:
Let $h,k : (X, x_0) \to (Y, y_0)$ be continuous maps. If $h$ and $k$ are homotopic and if the image of the base point $x_0 \in X$ remains fixed at $y_0$ during the homotopy then the induced homomorphisms $h_*$ and $k_*$ are equal.
I know how to prove that $h_* = k_*$ but my professor said that we have to prove well- definedness which I do not know why?
Could someone explain this to me please?

A: The map $h_*$ is defined as $[w] \mapsto [h \circ w]$, where $w : (S^1,1) \to (X,x_0)$ is a loop and $[w]$ denotes its homotopy class in $\pi_1$. Suppose we have homotopic loops $w \sim w'$ via a homotopy $H$. Then the map $h \circ H : S^1 \times [0,1] \to X \to Y$ is a homotopy $h \circ w \sim h \circ w'$. This shows that $h_*([w]) = [h \circ w] = [h \circ w'] = h_*([w'])$ and hence $h_*$ is well-defined.
The argument for $k_*$ is the same. I hope this helps!

RCA Theatre Company Presents Birthday Balloon
Produced by Mauzy May Productions
Written and Directed by Steve Cochrane
Featuring Renée Hackett and Brad Hodder
David and Millie have been met with tragedy and are on the brink of divorce. Through the lens of this dying marriage a new Newfoundland identity is exposed. A Newfoundland whose worst economic downturn since the 1930's threatens the very existence of its rural identity and people. It poses the question – in light of everything, even when the writing is on the wall – what is it that keeps us in love with and loyal to a province known by one perfect word: home.
Birthday Balloon explores the relationship of David and Millie at a point when they have been met with tragedy and they are on the brink of divorce. David is a pipe fitter working in Fort McMurray, gone for weeks at a time. Millie is his "oil widow" trying to make sense of her life in a changing rural landscape and she's found out he's having an affair. One wants out, away from the stench of death and the other wants to go back in time.
Themes of love and loss are explored deeply in this tragicomic play. Common myths about the big bang of Fort McMurray money and Newfoundlanders living the "life of Riley" are dispelled through this heartbreaking tale of a broken marriage and an irreparably damaged family. Steve Cochrane has written the characters with such authenticity that the natural comedic outlook on most things, inherent to Newfoundlanders, is trickled throughout the piece.
Through the pain of David and Millie we see a different Newfoundland and the true nature of what happens when you go West. It isn't all big cars, big boats and good times. It is for some, but that comes with a huge price.
The Saturday, February 27, 2pm will be a Relaxed Performance. The lights will be a little brighter in the audience and on stage. A Visual Guide to the LSPU Hall is available here. A Visual Guide to Birthday Balloon will be available on our website soon.
