  3. Confirm it if you are not sure about it
  4. Test it out before believing anything
  5. Listen to everyone but you take the final decision
  6. Save as soon as you see it
  7. Try for Autosave wherever possible
  8. Take backups
  9. Pay attention to the Context

  11. Document well, read documentation well
  12. Write clearly, Think deeply, Read widely
  13. Use tools wherever it helps

  16. Learn to connect the dots across fields
  17. If you can model well, you can test well
  18. Know mnemonics and heuristics

  20. Learn Safety Language
  21. Keep collecting fieldstones
  22. Start recording and then testing. Never waste time unless it is part of a test
  23. There is no one good way of testing.

Can you please describe this statement "If you can model well, you can test well"? -Soma

Mithilesh Singh said...

@Soma: Simple answer to your question is if you are giving the effort to create a good testing model with good product understanding, knowing about corner cases, tools that can help reduce your effort, and taking care of a few other points mentioned by Ajay here. you can test well because our testing would be based on what we modeled.
Thanks

オフショア開発チームを探したいのですが、いくらかかりますか?

オフショアシステム開発を検討している代理店の担当者の多くは、このような疑問を持っています。

オフショアシステム開発費は主にITエンジニアやプロジェクトマネージャーの人件費です。

また、デザインの種類によっては通信費が発生する場合があり、現地で事務所を借りる場合は家賃も負担したいと考えています。

・工数削減
・システム開発期間が短い
・日本のオフショア会社を雇う

主にオフショア開発コスト削減の基礎を学びます。
 オフショアシステム開発費の現状
 オフショア開発コストを割る

オフショア開発費用の多くは「人件費」です。
・システム(ソフト)Web・ソフト開発の人件費は、一般的に「開発者月額単価+IT開発工数」で計算されます。

・システム開発工数:「工数×従業員数」で計算した作業完了までの工数。

オフショアシステム開発の最大のメリットは、システム開発コストの大部分を占める人件費を日本よりも安く抑えることができることです。

主に、インドは日本のソフトウェア会社にとって巨大な注文源でした。

しかし、インド経済が発展するにつれて、主に良いことだった「人件費」が徐々に上昇しています。

代わりに、ITエンジニアの賃金水準がまだ日本よりも低い南アジア諸国は、日本企業によるオフショア開発の恩恵を受けています。
