What's a developer/tester to do?

I'm not going to waste know-how and study for WP 8.0; it's just not worth it.  With Windows Phone 8.1 facing the delay, delay, delay, there's not real incentive to write/test apps.  When an enterprise looks for a mobile platform, I guess it MUST be Android.  Does anyone suppose Verizon will EVER be reasonably current with their WP version.  I see a risk that the US carriers could kill WP altogether with their foot dragging.

In case you didn't know, this is not Adobe support... this is a user to user forum with "some" Adobe staff who answer questions
Whoever answers... you are going to have to wait for "someone" with something to say that he/she thinks will help
Since this is now your 4th question, I guess nobody who has looked has any ideas

  • Concurrent Developer Testing in 12.1 Environment

    We have been using 11.5 for quite a while and are now trying to learn the ropes with 12.1.
    We often have multiple developers testing new changes to the same application at the same time on the same server.  In 11.5 we basically did this by using standardized naming conventions in the file system.  Different developers used different URLs to essentially get to different copies of the application for testing.
    We are hoping we have some better options for concurrent development in 12.1.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Is there any way to use NWDI to deploy different versions of the same application to the same development server such that they can be tested independently without doing a lot of renaming?
    With our Java web apps (unrelated to our MII web apps) we just deploy .war files with different context roots and that solves most of the issues.  Is a similar approach available in 12.1?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Kevin,
    Thanks for you response.  This is somewhat helpful. but it does not give me a path forward  Let me be a little more specific.
    Let's say we have two developers working on the same project/application.  Developer A is fixing a bug and developer B is adding a new feature.  Let's assume we are using NWDI's sourece control.  Let's also assume that the two developer do not need to check out the same files and that they are working on two different Activities.  Let's say developer A is working on Activity X and developer B is working on Activity Y.
    The question is, how do developers A & B test on the same MII server at the same time?
    It typcially is more complex than this.  Typically we have more than two developers testing at the same time and sometimes developers will work on the same Activities.  In addition to this type of development/testing we typically have an integrated version of the application that we run on the same server at the same time as well.  Typically a developer is working on what we call an SCR (Software Change Request).  They are developed/tested independently and once they are finished/tested/verified they are merged into the "integrated" version.  We currently have the ability to do all of this simultaneous on the same server (although we only have a crude way of doing it by using copies and a strict naming convention).
    In the J2EE world this is easy.  We can just delpoy the same .WAR files with different context roots and they run independent of each other.
    What is the best way to handle this with MII 12.1/NWDI?  I don't think it is reasonable to require one MII server per developer.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Development, Test, Acceptance, Production Set-up for ES2

    Hi collegeau LC experts!,
    At a client we have setup a server structure that consists of DTAP, so seperated server and LC instances for the various goals.
    Now we are facing a need to get production data in sync with the other environments. This way we hopefully come across problems earlier during the development/ test cycle because we work with actual data.
    I assume we have to copy: livecycle databases, content present in the Content Space etc. So how does this work in practice with running tasks in the workspace, unique identifiers of content in CS, other items like users and groups that are defined in the adminUI?
    Whats your experience with copying/exporting/re-using data from the data from one LC environment to the other.?
    Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Rob

    Thanks for you answers. I am trying to install the developer workplace on Windows 7 (64 bit OS) with SQL server 2008.
    I get the following error
    Running msiexec failed with return code 1603: Fatal error during installation.
    Commandline was msiexec.exe /norestart /L sapmmcX86u.log /i sapmmcX86u.msi /qn
    I check some sdn posts on this error but the solutions refer to updating MSI installer on Windows XP. no solution to windows 7
    Any ideas...?

  • When making a function module, what is difference between test /unit test

    best regards,

    Hi,
    ABAP Unit Tests
    Structure of Unit Tests
    An ABAP Unit test unit (TU) can be a class, function pool, executable program, or module pool. You can call ABAP Unit for testing individual TUs from the Class Builder (SE24), Function Builder (SE37), ABAP Editor (SE38), and SE80. Mass tests can be carried out from the Code Inspector.
    You organize your tests into classes and then into test methods, which are all part of the TU. The system checks small units within the TU, hence the name ABAP Unit. The aim of a test method is to check whether a unit returns the desired result. For this purpose, there are methods of the service class CL_AUNIT_ASSERT that execute comparisons between target and actual values calculated by a unit. The results of all unit tests of a TU are then shown in the ABAP Unit result display.
    Example
    Let us look at an example to help clarify this. Our minimalist TU is a percentage calculator that delegates this task to a subroutine:
    REPORT  Percentages.
    PARAMETERS: price TYPE p.
    PERFORM minus_ten_percent CHANGING price.
    WRITE price.
    FORM minus_ten_percent CHANGING fprice TYPE p.
      price = fprice * '0.9'.
    ENDFORM.                    "Minus_ten_percent
    We add a test class to the report, which tests whether the subroutine correctly calculates the percentage for a specific value.
    CLASS test DEFINITION FOR TESTING.  "#AU Risk_Level Harmless
    "#AU Duration Short
      PRIVATE SECTION.
        METHODS test_minus_ten_percent FOR TESTING.
    ENDCLASS.                   
    CLASS test IMPLEMENTATION.
      METHOD test_minus_ten_percent.
        DATA: testprice type p value 200.
        PERFORM minus_ten_percent CHANGING testprice.
        cl_aunit_assert=>assert_equals( act = testprice exp = 180
                            msg = 'ninety percent not calculated correctly').
      ENDMETHOD.                   
    ENDCLASS.  
    The test class and the test method TEST_MINUS_TEN_PERCENT are recognized by the tool through the addition FOR TESTING. The additions "#AU RISK_LEVEL HARMLESS and "#AU DURATION SHORT are not optional comments but annotations containing required technical information. With RISK_LEVEL you specify to what extent, if at all, executing the test endangers critical data. The time is specified so that any tests in endless loops are automatically cancelled due to a timeout.
    In the transaction SAUNIT_CLIENT_SETUP, you can make settings for an entire system with regard to the RISKLEVEL of tests and the times assigned to the individual attributes that specify the permitted duration (DURATION: SHORT, MEDIUM, and LONG). For example, in some development systems you will want to prohibit tests that change important data. If the test is cancelled for any reason, it is possible that some data may be left with invalid values or in an inconsistent state. Therefore, you will set the permitted RISKLEVEL suitably low in such systems.
    Service of the Class CL_AUNIT_ASSERT
    As parameters, the service method CL_AUNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_EQUALS requires a target value and an actual value, which is the result of the tested calculation; it then compares the two values. The MESSAGE parameter should contain a text that explains what went wrong during the test. You can also pass a parameter with the service method CL_AUNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_EQUALS that specifies the severity of the error, as well as a parameter stating how to proceed if the test fails: Should the test method simply continue, or should the current test method, the entire test class, or all tests of the TU be canceled?
    In addition to this method, the class CL_AUNIT_ASSERT also provides other methods, which execute different checks and pass the results to the framework. Most importantly, you should note that you can use the parameters of the methods of the service class CL_AUNIT_ASSERT to control the flow of the whole unit test and include information in the test methods that will later provide you with important details about any errors in the result display.
    ABAP Unit Result Display
    On the left side of the result display, all the tests of your TU are grouped into a task. In our case, this is only one test class with a single method:
    Via the name of the method, you can see what parts of the test method caused errors during the test:
    The message you passed with the service method is displayed at the top. Below that, you can which values diverge and can navigate to the class via the stack line.
    In our example, a closer examination of the code reveals that the input parameter of the report was confused with the change parameter of the subroutine.

  • What does Apple HW Test really test about hard drive?

    My 2002 FP iMac was recently jolted. The internal hard drive is no longer recognized. Here is what I know:
    When I boot with the Apple Hardware Test CD which came with the computer, it does not recognize anything wrong with the hard drive.
    When I boot from an external hard drive, I get a dialog with buttons to Initialize, Ignore, or Eject the hard drive.
    When I open Disk Utility (external HD boot), it can see the disk, but says it is unformatted.
    I also downloaded a trial data recovery program and it could not find anything identifiable on the hard drive.
    I don't really know what the Apple Hardware Test program tests with the hard drive, so I don't know how to interpret the information I have.
    My questions:
    Is there any hope for salvaging anything from the hard drive? (Probably not?)
    Is the drive itself likely to be OK if I format and re-install my OS? (Is that what the HW Test is telling me?)
    I have not tried to format the drive, because there are a few things I would really like to salvage. I have also not opened it up to examine anything on the inside because I would not know what to look for.
    Suggestions for how to proceed will be welcome.

    The data on the ill-fated hard drive may be recoverable; could be
    there has been damage to the drive or the software on it that lets
    the computer read files from the drive.
    Some disk utilities such as Disk Warrior could see about trying to
    fix the drive; although if physical damages exist, it can't fix that.
    The booted OS X Installer's Disk Utility has options in the Installer
    menu bar (drop down menu to select other things, when not just
    reinstalling) and you could see if OS X's Disk Utility from the booted
    Installer disc could give you a status report on the drive in Verify, &
    also see what it says about 'Repair drive' when chosen to try a fix.
    Sometimes, the OS X's Disk Utility can't fix something, and at that
    point, other utilities (retail on DVD) may be able to. Then, the tossup
    is, whether or not you want to pay for the utility to fix an old drive, or
    put the money into a new one.
    Data Recovery software is available as download, so if the old hard
    disk drive were removed from the computer and a new drive put in,
    later on the failed drive could be investigated through use of software
    (such as those which can recover, then you pay to unlock results)
    and that is another way to consider addressing the old drive contents.
    Some would suggest, if you had Disk Warrior or some other disk utility
    that could fix the old drive good enough to try and get data off it, maybe
    even a full clone or just the files you need, then you would not need to
    get the data recovery software. Of course, that software which runs to
    see if you have recoverable files, can do that part for free.
    The AHT may see the drive is present, while not recognizing a
    failure in its firmware or in its directory, etc. Some kinds of disk
    utilities can try to rebuild and replace a damaged directory or
    other bits of software on the drive so it can be read again.
    Usually, the test for the hard disk drive is Disk Utility on the
    OS X Installer; and that gives you the boot version that sees
    even a healthy drive as an unmounted and repairable volume
    when it is correct and not beyond the limited ability of the utility.
    Hopefully something practical comes from all these words...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • ESR role in different development, test, and production systems

    Hello,
    I want to know the role of ESR in development, test, and production system. Do I have to install ESR in every seprate installated SAP CE machine??? or should It be centrally and development., test and production systems can use it?? Does software release process effects in the whole landscape??
    does Test and Production system requires ESR??? or all used services are embed into released software SCA files to test and production system???
    Regards,
    Naeem

    Hey,
    as far as I understood the ESR is a design time tool, i think  you don't need to have a productive instance.
    I think it should be installed on your PI systems. And I would prefer to have at least a devel and a test installation, to
    separate services on test machines from those who are running on productive systems.
    as you can't differentiate the services by their name but just by their systems, you should have separate ESR Instances.
    Nevertheless I think it could be possible to run only one ESR....
    Kind Regards
    Christof
