REST API Composition for Effective Testing the Cloud

Cloud offers many ready-made REST services for the end users. This offer realizes the service composition through implementation somewhere on internet based on Service Level Agreement (SLA). For ensuring this SLA, a software testing is a useful means for attesting a non-functional requirement that guarantees quality assurance from end user's perspective. However, test engineer experiences only what goes in and out through an interface that contains a high level behaviors separated from its underlying details. Testing with these behaviors become an issue for classical testing procedures. So, REST API through composition is an alternative new promising approach for modeling behaviors with parameters against the cloud. This new approach helps to devise test effectiveness in terms of REST based behavior-driven implementation. It aims to understand functional behaviors through API methods based on input domain modeling (IDM) on the standard keyboard pattern. By making an effective REST design the test engineer sends complete test inputs to its API directly on application, and gets test responses from the infrastructure. We consider NEMo mobility API specification to design an IDM, which represents pattern match of mobility search URL API path scope. With this scope, sample mobility REST API service compositions are used. Then, the test assertions are implemented to validate each path resource to test the components and the end-to-end integration on the specified service.

The Effects of Keyboard Layout and Size on Smartphone Typing Performance

Usability and typing performance on a smartphone with two unique QWERTY keyboard layouts (standard vs. curved) on two phone sizes (4.0-inch vs. 5.5-inch displays) was investigated in this study. The effect of hand posture was also investigated (one- vs. two-thumbs). Results show users typed the slowest when using one thumb with the curved keyboard on the small phone (15 WPM), and the fastest when using two thumbs with the standard keyboard on the large phone (24 WPM). Typing performance with the curved keyboard on the large phone size (19 WPM) did not differ between typing with one thumb using the standard keyboard on the large or small phone, or with two thumbs using the standard keyboard on the small phone. Error rates were higher when using the curved keyboard, regardless of phone size. Subjectively, the curved keyboard was rated inferior for both phone sizes in comparison to the standard layout.

MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN INTERAKTIF SIMULASI MENGETIK 10 JARI

Interactive Learning Media is currently in great demand and has also been widely applied to deliver subject matter both in schools and universities. Typing is one of the basic skills needed at work or school. But not everyone has the ability to type correctly using ten fingers. To measure or test the ability of someone in typing ten fingers, in this study discusses the design and manufacture of an application. This application is based on standard typing competencies on the keyboard taken from SKKNI. Test typing skills are generally carried out by professional certification bodies to provide certification or proof of one's competence. To determine the results of the exam, participants use assessment based on the certification of practical and theoretical examinations. Ratings are based on speed and accuracy in typing which are added together. Evaluation is based on understanding the theory test in typing on a standard keyboard.

Speech-to-text interpreting in Finland, Sweden and Austria

Speech-to-text (STT) interpreting is a type of intralingual interpreting mostly used by late deafened and hearing impaired persons who have a spoken language as their first language. In Finland, Sweden and Austria the speech-to-text transfer is performed in real-time by interpreters using a (specially adapted or standard) keyboard that is connected to a screen. As a result of different legislative frameworks governing services for the disabled, STT interpreting has developed differently in different countries and so far there has been little international cooperation. STT interpreting has also been largely ignored by Translation and Interpreting Studies. This paper examines the situation in Finland and Sweden, where STT interpreting training programmes have been available since the 1980s, and Austria, where the first training programme started in 2010, and investigates the norms, values and expectations that guide STT interpreters’ practice in the three countries. It also looks at the factors necessary for the development of a distinct ‘STT interpreting culture’.

Design of Portable Educational Technology Terminal Based on Embedded System

In current education realm, the new technology terminal is essential for modern educational method. Thus, the embedded technology is focused and utilized to improve the level of education technology. In this paper, a kind of embedded terminal is designed for experimental class application, which is based on AVR-mega48, and the LCD, the standard keyboard, the nRF2401 wireless modules are integrated into the system. The whole system operates under the control of UC/OS-II system, which provides an excellent software platform for the future development of other modules.

Assisting People with Multiple Disabilities to Improve Computer Typing Efficiency through a Mouse Wheel and On-Screen Keyboard Software

This study aims to find out if the two students with multiple disabilities can learn to use standard keyboard and computer mouse with the intervention of newly developed software. With built-in On-Screen Keyboard (OSK), the user can key in commands by using a standard mouse. Without changing the conventional computer mouse and outward appearance, a new mouse driver program was designed, of which the scroll wheel became a key to quickly click on OSK. With this design, students with multiple disabilities can complete the task fast and correctly by sliding the mouse wheel.

6 Dot Braille Script Based Adapted Computer Keyboard for Visually Impaired

Presently, computers have become a part of everyone’s daily life, including the visually impaired people. Keyboard, being the only input device for using a computer, is not friendly for the visually impaired. The computer skills of these people go unutilized since they find it difficult to work using the standard keyboard. Several companies today market alternative keyboards for helping the visually impaired to type, yet they are not suitable for them. Thus, the technical aim of this paper describes an innovative idea for eliminating the above said issue by using the existing QWERTY keyboard to enhance the interaction of the visually impaired people with standard computers thereby eliminating all of the practical and mental constraints.
