Mock-up

Good morning
I produced a 4 page A5 brochure in InDesign. I would like to present my brochure as a mock-up. Perhaps something to this effect:
How should I proceed, please? Should I use photoshop? Should I save the 4 pages as JPGs then place into Photoshop?
Thanks for your help.

Should I use photoshop?
I think Photoshop is a viable tool for the task.
Should I save the 4 pages as JPGs then place into Photoshop?
A pdf should work just fine.
If you place the pages as Smart Objects possible future changes or other content can easily be switched in.
You may have to convert the SOs to SOs again to be able to use all Warp, Edit > Transform > Perspective etc.

Unit testing: Mocking custom classes with null

Hi,
I was trying to save time on testing the usual hashCode() and equals() methods so I got this class: http://www.cornetdesign.com/files/BeanTestCase.java.txt
I altered it a bit as it wasn't handling standard classes only primitives.
Anyway, I got to the point to include my own custom classes.
I have to create a 'mock' object for my class properties, e.g. field.getType().newInstance()
Fine, but there are some tricky instances. E.g. when I'd like to create an instance of java.net.URL which takes a URL as String in the constructor.
This is almost impossible to automate as it has to be a valid URL format not just a random String.
So, I thought I set them to null, e.g.
assertTrue(o1.equals(o2))
as both properties are null.
Is this the right approach you think?
I welcome any suggestions.
My initial idea was to save enormous amount of time automating the hashCode() and equals() method tests as they took so long to write.
Thanks

Trouble would be that you are only testing the null branch of the equals or hashCode, which typically have to check for null, then if not null do an actual comparison.
It's worth the effort of learning to use a package such as EasyMock to create and program mock objects. It's tidiier if you are progamming to interfaces, however, but it will mock ordinary objects, though probably not if they are final.
What you could do is to define a factory interface, and have a table of anonymous classes wich generate various types. In effect create a library of dumy object factories.
Something like:
private interface DummyGenerator {
      Object generate(int idx);
      Class<?> getType();
private final static DummyGenerator[] generatorsTable {
    new DummyGenerator() {
           public Object generate(int idx) {
             return new URL("http://nowhere.com/" + idx);
     public Class<?> getType() { return URL.class; }
.. generators for other classes
private final static Map<Class<?>, DummyGenerator> genMap = new HashMap<Class<?>, DummyGenerator>(generatiorsTable.length);
static {
    for(DummyGenerator gen : generatorsTable)
        genMap.put(gen.getType(), gen);
}

How do I create a web mock-up using Full Width Photo's

Greetings & Help!
I'm trying to create a full width photo layout using
Fireworks CS3 & Dreamwaver CS3 without the photo's being tall.
Exactly as the following websites - which all seem to be
using the same size of photo or very close to it.
This site is static with full width photos that are not tall.
http://www.jenniferhandyproperties.com/selling
This site is static for the most part and full width photos
that are not tall
http://www.gnvpartners.com/web/
This site is Flash with full width photos that are not tall.
expodesigncenter
I would love to create a flash site just like expo but at
this point I would settle for a static photo with the same size
being the same on each page.
Also I would like my site to be a liquid layout so the photo
and everything else (text, Links etc) on the page flows correctly.
The problem...
I'm trying to use photo's from Istockphoto.com. The size of
the photo's they offer are
425 x 282 px (5.9" x 3.9")
849 x 565 px (11.8" x 7.8")
1698 x 1131 px (5.7" x 3.8")
I'm selecting horizontal photo's. I do not know how to match
the same width, height and appearence as the websites I mentioned
above.
If I choose a photo that fits the width then the length is
too long. Also if I choose a large photo and have to crop it then
most of the detail of the photo is lost.
I'm attempting to create a mock-up for my web in Fireworks
CS3 and after search Adobe and www I came across the mock up should
be 1004px which would end up being 1024 with vertical scroll bar
and small margins.
I also have Photoshop & Flash CS3 but should mention (if
you haven't already guess it by now) I am a rookie when it comes to
creating a website.
So if you can offer a solution in "Non-Tech Terms" I would
appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi Pixlor -
I'll do my best to answer your questions - within my ability
- which isn't much.
As far as "Tile" the photo - I've checked out the responces
I've received from other's on this post - and other posts - and on
each page for the "masthead" I just want one photo to be the same
size of the page width wize - and the height of the photo should
not be tall from the top of the masthead to the bottom of the
masthead. As far as what I mean by "not being Tall" - see next
comment...
I'm just attempting to duplicate exactly (or very close to
it) the same appearence and dimensions - "Width = side-to-side,
Tall = Height - as the websites I mentioned in my first post here.
Also if you check out Joey's website (who responded to my
post as well) basicly he has created the same thing that I'm
shooting for except he is using graphics. I have to use photos in
my masthead which will be of kitchen cabinetry or construction
photo's and must highlight every detail down to the shine of the
kitchen cabinets knobs - or close to it.
Due to this I can not have the photos of the masthead "tile"
from "width-to-width or top-to-bottom because the deatils in the
photo can not repeat or multiply to completely fill the masthead
head. Otherwize if I choose a photo of kitchen cabinetry which
highlights a kitchen sink - and if I tile this photo - from what
I'm learning from everyones responce thus far - I'll end up with
several of the same kitchen sinks and cabinets in the same photo.
I must stress I could be wrong in what I described directly
above due to my lack of tech knowledge! If this post was about a
2x4 or 2x6 or Green Building or what have you, It would be heck of
alot easier for me to completely understand what you pro's are
trying to help me with - which I completely appreaciate. Expecially
someone like you who owns a monitor the size of one of my work
trucks!
Which brings me to your next question...
Liquid layout -
Yes I am trying to end up with a liquid layout for my website
using Dreamweaver CS3. Hopefully using one of the pre-built liquid
layouts in Dreamweaver and modify it within my ability.
The main reason why I would like to create a liquid layout is
because most others construction firms in my industry - and in my
target market - have websites that completely consume a viewers
monitor - viewport - screen real estate - (i'm trying to learn your
tech terms) no matter what size viewport a viewer has, or how the
viewer resizes theirs.
I've also heard that a "Min & Max" code can be included
in a liquid layout so that it would limit the "liquidness" of the
layout so "Text Lines" won't stretch too long making it difficult
to read when a viewport size extends - and when the viewport shinks
- all the elements (or Div's) will reflow an maintain order and
visability.
1004 -
The only reason why I mentioned designing the Fireworks CS3
mock-up at a 1004 is because someone else mentioned they design
their mock-ups at a "Canvas Size" of 1004. Then most browsers
automaticly inlclude a scroll bar if the vertical content exceeds
below "The Fold". Thus with the addition of the automatic scroll
bar the page now becomes 1024 - according to this person.
She went on to mention according to "recent studies" - 56% of
viewers have 1024 x 768 and most computer manufacturs shipp them
this way. Then the following stats... 22% at 800 x 600, then 13% at
1280 x 1024, then 3% at 1152 x 864, then 1% at 1580 x 1129. She
also mentions most avearge viewers (every day Dick & Jane, Bob
& Besty) (excluding computer tech folks like yourself) - do not
resize - bother with - or know how to resize their viewport.
My personal note on this is most of my target market -
clients - just turn on their computer and surfs the net from
website to website without changing their viewport and when also
asked they "Feel" that a website looks much better - or more
profeshional - when the content completely fills up an entire
viewport.
"Feel - not - Think" -
Keep in mind I choose the word "Feel" & not "Think". In
my target market - Residential Construction - 95% of home
improvement decisions are made my the Woman of the houshold - not
the Man. That being in mind it is a proven stat (and not a sexest
comment) that women base most of their choices or decsions on how
something makes them "Feel". Where as most men make their choice or
decision on how they "Think".
Also most men attempt to keep their women happy and knowing
that if they don't then they will end up in the doghouse - ( not a
fun place to be trust me on this) and in addition most men do not
have much of a clue when it comes to the interior design layout of
a home, matching of paint colors, appliance choices or what have
you.
Wow that was a major side track I took -
Back to 1004 -
It's not that I'm intend in designing the mock-up in
Fireworks at 1004 - I just want to end up wth a liquid layout so
when my site is viewed by "most people" then my site will
completely consume a viewers viewport - or very close to it.
If I need to design the mock-up less then 1004 - or more then
- and still be able to end up with the same end result in a liquid
form - so be it.
I don't know the best way to proceed -
I'm just attempting to learn from others who respond and for
the most part those who have been kind enough and taken the time to
respond seem to be very knowlegeable about my issue at hand.
You might find this hard to believe but I am learning quite a
bit from all of you and I really do appreaciate it.
Well now that this responce is as long as the novel "War
& Peace" - I'll close here.

Using photo shop and muse together. mock up to final design

Hi as .you know from me asking a million questions. i just heard that photo shop can be used as a mock up for web design. from this video i saw. i am wondering should this be the work flow that i should be using instead of just jumping into muse like i did before in Dreamweaver.? if thats the case i am willing to change my habit. i keep hearing that all ideas come from a sketch layout. with the new photo shop sketch tool for ipad. i am wondering if thats going to be the core for web site ideas. then finish it in photo shop and finalize it in muse . again design is my weak point thats why i have my degree in commercial graphics/ photography. thats why i enjoy web design. but want to keep it simple. so would you recommend this idea?
Placing a PSD in Adobe Muse - Muse-Themes.com - YouTube

Integration between Muse and Photoshop is limited to placing PSD files into Muse as images or as rollover buttons at the moment. So if you are looking at a workflow that web designers use with Photoshop > Dreamweaver after slicing, then that is not possible in Muse right now.
Photoshop and Dreamweaver integration on the other hand has been drastically improved with introduction of the Extract service and panel in Dreamweaver. You can read more about that here: Extract a Photoshop design into code in Dreamweaver | Adobe Dreamweaver CC tutorials

Mock RFP for SUN network management tool, desperate 4 help, just need specs

OK, I have a project that in essence is a mock Request for Proposal (RFP), I play as an intern, & our instructor roleplays the manager we need to convince. The different network management tools that were available were for example; HP Openview, Cisco Works, Sniffer....& I of course chose SunNet. We need to gather information on the tool, then turn around & design a relatively simple network from the specs that were given, & finally discuss how the management tool's abilities could benefit the (mock) company...power point presentation & all.
Here it is from the homework sheet given to us...."These products will need to be useful in a 5000 node network that has four main locations that are primarily Ethernet. There is a legacy 100 nodes of Token Ring attached to a mainframe. Cisco or Foundry routers connect the Four main locations, with swiches employed. Other connections to these sites are done via DSL or ISDN. Additional considerations are wireless communications, VOIP & Content delivery systems.
I know this is a lot & I'm not asking for someone to do all this for me, just simply provide any information you know about Enterprise management tools 2.0 or 3.0,or anything you may feel better suits my needs, as the links I have surfed about them give little to nothing about specifics that I need to make any argument. If you have any links send them...if you have anyting in hard copy I will pay for postage... I need to get this done & have little time as I go to school & work full time at Motorola (but only as a contractor), so I'm starting to choke & need help....any u can give is so very appreciated....& sorry to make this request a publishable novel here on the board, but thats what it is. Thanks again......Mark

A good solution. Liked it very much. Can you please make it a technet blog for others.

Hi, the error you see in the browser console is because the MockServer looks for Product.json file in the model folder. If you don't have a Product.json file in the model folder then ignore the error.

JUnit : How to Mock Static Method

Hi,
I was using EasyMock to write Junit for the methods of the class.
The Limitation of this library is that only Interfaces can be mocked without any much effort and behavior can be set according to our needs.
Since, now we need to mock even normal classes, I got mocuer library from net and this too is easy to implement. The problem / limitation is that, I cant mock static methods of a class.
Is there is any workaround / library so that even static methods can be mocked??.
Advance thanks.

Since you would like to mock the static method, it is not part of the class you'd like to test, I assume. The class you do want to test is supposedly under your control and contains the static invocation. I'd suggest to refactor the use of the static invocation in the class being tested.
I see two approaches:
1. wrap the static method call in an instance of newly created service class.
   public class ServiceMethodWrapperImpl implements ServiceMethodWrapper {
       public int serviceCall(String arg) {
         return OtherClass.staticMethod(arg);
   }and then mock the ServiceMethoWrapper interface for testing
2. wrap the static call in a protected method of the class under test. In you test case, test a derived class in which you override the method that calls the service to use a mock:
   public class TestedClass {
     protected int callStaticMethod(String arg) {
         return OtherClass.staticMethod(arg);
     public void something() {
         // replaced OtherClass.staticMethod by
         if (callStaticMethod("Sun") == 3) {
   public void testSomethingForTheClass() {
      TestedClass instance = new TestedClass() {
           protected int callStaticMethod(String arg) {
                return 3; // mocked answer
   }

Mock costing run not updating with recipe changes to labor and overhead

We have made changes to the labor and overhead values assigned to a master recipe. We are trying to determine what the new standard cost will be when we do our costing run at the end of the the month. However, when we do our mock costing run using CK40N it does not reflect the changes we made to the labor and overhead it still pulls in the old values. We have tried this in our test system on several other products and it has worked for some materials but not others. I don't think it matters but the material we are costing is a semi finished good. Any ideas?

Problem has been resolved. Thank you!

SSDT Unit Test - How to mock GETDATE()?

Some of our procedures/triggers returns values basing on current date, i.e.: GETDATE(), GETUTCDATE()
In such case a unit test will produce different result every time it is executed.
I found an article that one embeds GETDATE() into user defined function, and then at test runtime alters the function to return hardcoded date instead of current date.
http://pmichaels.net/2014/06/22/mock-current-date-and-time-in-sql-server/
What I don't like in such approach is that I will be forced to use custom user functions to get current date, change a lot of existing stored procedures and finally it can have negative impact on performance.
Is there a good method to handle such cases?

Hi, are you trying to just capture the day, month and year; something like '24-Apr-2015'? If so try this code: -
Declare
@DateStr nvarchar(11)
Declare
@MonthNum int
Declare
@TempStr nvarchar(2)
Set
@Tempstr =(Select
Cast
(DatePart(dd,GetDate())
As
VarChar(2)))
IF
len(@Tempstr)=1
BEGIN
Set @Tempstr
=(Select
'0'+@Tempstr)
END
Set
@DateStr=(Select
(@TempStr+'-'))
Set
@MonthNum=(Select
DatePart(mm,GetDate()))
If
@MonthNum=1
Begin
Set @DateStr=(Select
(@DateStr+'Jan-'))
End
If
@MonthNum=2
Begin
Set @DateStr=(Select
(@DateStr+'Feb-'))
End
If
@MonthNum=3
Begin
Set @DateStr=(Select
(@DateStr+'Mar-'))
End
If
@MonthNum=4
Begin
Set @DateStr=(Select
(@DateStr+'Apr-'))
End
--Repeat above for all months
Set
@DateStr=(Select
(@DateStr+Cast
(DatePart(yyyy,GetDate())
As
VarChar(4))))
Print
@DateStr

What's the fastest way to mock up text backgrounds in Photoshop?

Example text with text background layer , often seen on sites.
This is really tricky to mock up in Photoshop. I usually have to create shape layers which is easy enough, but you constantly have to edit them, as you play around with changed in line-height, letter-spacing, font-size, and font-family.

For web sites, I rarely use fixed images for backgrounds. There's so much you can do with CSS and background-colors, gradients, opacity, borders, shadows, etc... that images are almost un-necessary

Question about mock testing and large amounts of expectations

I have been using mock testing for a while now and it seems really useful. I have one nagging problem with it though. Whenever I write tests that require mock objects that have a lot of calls made on them, my expectations become huge and tedious to write. It seems like there is no way around this either. The expectations must be set to get the object being tested into a certain state.
Can anybody comment on this? I am new to mocking and possibly just not aware of how to handle this problem, or if it can be handled at all. Is my OO design bad if there are tons of expectations to test something?

Your design may be too complicated.
You may be unit testing on too high a level.
You may be testing the implementation and not the behavior.

JUNIT : how to call static methods through mock objects.

Hi,
I am writing unit test cases for an action class. The method which i want to test calls one static method of a helper class. Though I create mock of that helper class, but I am not able to call the static methods through the mock object as the methods are static. So the control of my test case goes to that static method and again that static method calls two or more different static methods. So by this I am testing the entire flow instead of testing the unit of code of the action class. So it can't be called as unit test ?
Can any one suggest me that how can I call static methods through mock objects.

The OP's problem is that the object under test calls a static method of a helper class, for which he wants to provide a mock class
Hence, he must break the code under test to call the mock class instead of the regular helper class (because static methods are not polymorphic)
that wouldn't have happened if this helper class had been coded to interfaces rather than static methods
instead of :
public class Helper() {
    public static void getSomeHelp();
public class MockHelper() {
    public static void getSomeHelp();
}do :
public class ClassUnderTest {
    private Helper helper;
    public void methodUnderTest() { // unchanged
        helper.getSomeHelp();
public interface Helper {
    public void getSomeHelp();
public class HelperImpl implements Helper {
    public void getSomeHelp() {
        // actual implementation
public class MockHelper implements Helper {
    public void getSomeHelp() {
        // mock implementation
}

Mock objects calling parent constructor

I'm trying to create some tests in which I'm providing a mock object to the constructor of my test objects and testing that appropriate methods are called in the mock. The objects I'm mocking only have a few public methods so I created an inner class that extends the object I'm trying to mock and just records which method was called. However, when I run the test it fails because the mock object calls the default constructor of the object of it's parent; causing the entire application to run. I'm trying to figure out a way around this.
Now I already know a solution that would work, creating a second constructor in the object I'm mocking which does nothing, then call the fake constructor from my mock object instead of the default constructor. The solution dosn't feel very elegent though, I'm wondering if I'm missing a simpler solution?

Creating screen mock-ups

Hi Apex Guru's-
Could some one tell me how to develop screen mock-ups using APEX ? I have used off the shelf products to develop screen designs but how can we do it using APEX itself.
Thanks,
-Seenu

I'll second Dan's suggestion of a wireframe drawing tool such as Balsamiq mockups. I use it in the design phase with my clients because it covers most UI that you will find in web application design.
Its inexpensive, very clear and, above all, very quick to use. By combining it with a few examples of the Apex theme you intend to use you can give the end user a very clear idea of the actual UI. I've also had some clients use it to amend UI ideas themselves.
[http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockup|http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockup]
Loads better than trying to do the mockup with Apex alone.

Mock exams for 1Z0-047

Does anyone know of any official mock exams for the SQL Expert exam (1Z0-047)? All I can find are dodgy brain dump sites...
Also how realistic are the questions in the Master Exams that come with OCA Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-047) (Osborne Oracle Press Series) - Steve O'Hearn? The questions at the end of each chapter seem far too simple to me and are much easier than the 7 or so sample questions on the Oracle page for this exam. Any thoughts from those who have taken the exam and used this book?

( The questions the the end of the first few chapters are trivial ... they then become more relevant ).
Well I found the book helpful and from what I can remember the practice tests helped point some gaps I had.
Typically I think I find real exams sometimes need a bit longer than that on some of the practice tests.
I personally only use practice tests when i think i have learnt all material as a check to where i'm at and to identify gaps.
I will even leave the end of chapter tests under i think i have grasped everything.
And I will never take end of chapter tests if i have read that chapter earlier in the day!
( If i get tempted must take end of chapter tests early then i choose a reasonably meaty chapter about 1/3 into the book).
The book was enough for me .... but it may not be so for everyone ... we can be different and start from different places.
Someone mentioned they got rhu the test easily in an hour .... well i was pushing time the whole way through!
