你想不想试试 IBM 试图推广给每个人的量子计算机?
你想不想试试 IBM 试图推广给每个人的量子计算机?只能在《好奇心日报()》发布,即使我们允许了也不许*本文本文只能在《好奇心日报(转载*SAN FRANCISCO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of 旧金山电 - 加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多(Justin Trudeau)最近凭借对于量子计算这一前沿技术的简单解释登上了国际新闻头条。
现在,IBM 正在尝试一些类似的事情,他们制造了一台研究型量子计算机,并将一个相对简单的教程放到了网上,供所有人使用。
这种新型计算机据说可以利用最基本的能量和物质特性,实现超越当今数字系统的计算速度。
长期以来,这一构想既让人充满希望,又让人疑虑重重。
这种系统以“量子位”即量子比特的概念为基础。
量子比特这一基本值所包含的信息比经典数字计算所使用的 1 和 0 包含的信息要大得多。
IBM 制造的计算系统只包含五个量子比特,无法替代当前的个人计算机。
不过,IBM 的 Quantum Experience 项目可以让学生、爱好者甚至正规研究人员体验一种全新的算法,这种算法与当前包括文字处理和语音识别在内的一切应用所使用的算法都完全不同。
纽约州约克敦海茨 IBM 托马斯·J·沃森研究中心实验性量子计算小组主管杰里·M·周(Jerry M. Chow)表示:“该项目以教育为目的,但同时也是更大型主机的开端。
”IBM 研究人员最近展示了一台量子计算机。
他们相信,这台机器未来将扩展成拥有数百个量子比特的计算机,能够以高于当今计算机的速度运行各种不同的算法。
一些量子计算理论家相信,这样一台计算机将来可能演变成一台“万能”计算机,能够以远远高于当今计算机的速度执行任何任务。
IBM 一直在逐渐增强其量子计算机的能力,这台机器由一个使用金属材料的量子比特网络组成,这些金属的温度需要降至绝对零度附近,以获得超导性能。

Measurements
One of the biggest problems with requirements is vagueness What exactly is meant by “good performance”, “high security”, “low network bandwidth” If we read a requirements document and come across such phrases, we need to ask for definitions with numbers in
Achievable
If there is no way for engineers to actually implement a requirement, IT SHOULD NOT BE A REQUIREMENT Putting in impossible things as a way to somehow 'motivate' people to work harder is a mistake that rather stupid managers sometimes make–this does not work!
Traceable
Where has this requirement come from? Was it a conversation with a customer? Is it implicit in a grand but vague statement the customer has made? How did this 'requirement' item come to be on the list? There should always be a trail backwards to where the requirement came from!

For each of them . there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose thebest one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage oneM ichael Phelps has already been considered by some as the greatest all-around competitor inthe history of his sport. At the 2004 U.S. Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual eventsacross every possible stroke. He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion. Should Phelpsmatch Mark Spitz ’s record in Athens or Beijing in 2008, he will earn a$1 million bonus fromhis sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passedhis ability on to his kids.Michael ’ s coach told Michaelc’ s mother that her son was a rare telent-limbed.Longwith bighands and feet, he took to instruction very well, loved to work hard and never seemed nervous iscompetition. By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big hands and feet are likepaddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, but he’ s shown the ability to domin any event.In 1999,Michael broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-old age group at thJunior Nationals.At 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete Sydney Olympics forthe U.S.in 68 years. In an astonishing performance, he medaled six times and set five worldrecords. Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in recordtimes in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳 )— doing so on thesame day, which was a first in swimming history.Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn’ t like getting out of the bed in the morning; but refused to slow down once his day began.Michael has his sights set onmore than Olympic glory.He wants to transform his sport the way other great athletes like MichaelJordan and Tiger Woods have.16.Which of the following is the biggest achievement of Michael Phelps so far?A. An all-around competitor in the history of swimming.B. Breaking of a record in the 200-meter butterfly.C. Six individual events across every possible stroke.D. Five titles of Olympic champion.17. From Paragraph 1 it can be inferred that the passage was written_______.A. right in 2005B. at a time between 2004 and 2005C. just before Athens 2004D. immediately after Athens 200418. Michael Phelps turned to be the youngest American swimmer_______.A. in 1999, when he broke a record in the 200-meter butterflyB. in 2004,when he attended Athens 2004C. in 2000, when he attended Sydney OlympicsD. in an astonishing performance at home in the U.S.19. ________hating to get out of his bed in the morning, Michae l Phelps wouldn’ t slow downonce his day began.A. AsB. ThoughC. OnceD. Despite of20.The last sentence of the passage tells us that Michael Phelps is so ambitious as to___________.A.win many more gold medals for the U.S.B.remake history of his sport like M.Jordan and T.WoodsC.become the greatest world record breaker in sport historyD.be by far the greatest sportsman with Olympic gloryPassage TwoMost personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objectiverecruiment methods.But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of theinterview to employers . The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the humanfactor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust theirinstinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usuallypick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candi date lies or is less than completely honest.“ This can be a serious problem for employers” , explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment.most difficult liars to find are those who tell half- truths rather than complete lies.” Researchshows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practiceis omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps betweenperiods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange.ng on these“areasFocusiwillforce candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when peoplesignal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervoushand movements all indicate discomfort.”Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists thatclose inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can youconfirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less thancompletely honest.21.The best title of this passage can be ___________.A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a Job by TricksC.Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD.Advantages of Job Interviews22.The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.A. complete truthsB. complete liesC. partial truthsD. mainly truths23.How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A.By leaving out some necessary informationB.By providing more information than needed.C.By using their body language.D.By telling some unbelievable lies.24.In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we _____.A. examine the resumes carefullyB. inspect the candidates aggressivelyC. correct the resumes intentionallypare one’s resume with others ’25.What is the author ’s attitude towards job interviews?A. Most objectiveB. Too subjective.C. SuspiciousD. Credulous.Passage ThreeOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kindof such birds is the coot —a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool. ”The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize amd count its eggs,”says behavioral ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invader ’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest. “Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean the birds wererecognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didn ’tremove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world, ”the ecologist concluded.26. The meaning of the bird ’s name “coot”probably is __________.A. wonderful and amazingB. unusual and remarkableC. secret and unbelievableD. old and silly27. In the passage, “foreign eggs”refers to _________.A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invadersC.the eggs from foreign countriesD. the eggs unable to be hatched28.Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests.B. To put their own eggs intoothers ’nests. C. To hatch othercoots’eggs.D. To protect their own eggs.29.Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the passage?Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.A. Ⅰ .onlyB. Ⅱ .onlyC. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ .D. Ⅰ .,Ⅱ .and Ⅲ .30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes that the coot has?A. To trick other coots.B. To fight back the tricks.C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.D. To recognize and count its own eggs.Passage FourNational Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners in the Inter-national Space Station have agreed in principle to let a 28-year-old South African become the second paying tourist on the orbiting outpost, the U.S. space agency said on Tuesday.Internet magnate Mark Shuttleworth signed a contract on Dec.4 with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency(RASA) to fly aboard a Soyuz space taxi to the station in April 2002, almost exactly a year after lionaire Dennis Tito became the first to experience space as a paying guest.NASA spokeswoman Kristen Larson said by telephone:”We’ve agreed in principle to the flight of Mr. Shuttleworth. However, there are some final details that need to be takenof . ”Larson would not say what details needed resolving , but said the station’s internationalpartners---including the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada---had drafted a set of requirements for space travelers covering “physical ability, psychological ability, language ability ”and “length and appropriateness of training. ”Outgoing commander Frank Culbertson of the space station said the new crew replacinghis was going to be extremely busy. “The station is for workers, and it puts an additional burden on the crew to have people up here that are not doing science or conducting experiments that are productive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facility, ”he said.Space Adventures chief Eric Anderson said he could not disclose what Shuttleworth was paying for the trip, but added that a Russian official had been quoted as saying the price wasno worse than Tito ’s fare, which was widely reported to be $ 20 million.31. Who was the first space tourist according to the passage?A. Kristen Larson.B. Eric Anderson.C. Mark Shuttleworth.D. Dennis Tito.32.Which of the following is NOT included in the requirements for space travelers?A. Sufficient experience in conducting laboratory work.B. Enough long and proper training for flight.C. Mentally and physically healthy enough.33.Why is the space station reluctant to receive more paying tourists according to FrankCulbertson?A. Because the space station isn’ t big enough for the payings. touristB. Because as a place for doing research, the staton should be highly efficient.C. Because a paying tourist may be ignorant of the space research work.D.

R . J . Moffat see mean that the new results are really different, or is this difference just a consequence of the uncertainties in my measure. ments? Uncertainty analysis provides clear, unambiguous guidance: If the observed difference exceeds zero by more than the expected uncertainty interval for the difference, then the observed difference is probably significant. Even earlier in an experiment, uncertainty analysis can be used to help choose the most reliable technique for a given measurement or to identify the critically important instruments in a system (and thereby determine where expensive instruments are needed!). THE BASIC MATHEMATICS This section introduces the root-sum-square (RSS) combination, the basic form used for combining uncertainty contributions in both single-sample and multiple-sample analyses. In this section, the term 3Xi refers to the uncertainty in Xi in a general and nonspecific way: whatever is being dealt with at the moment (tor example, fixed errors, random errors, or uncertainties).
A Software Architectural View of Usability Patterns
A Software Architectural View of Usability Patterns Xavier Ferre (1), Natalia Juristo (1), Ana M. Moreno(1)& M. Isabel Sánchez(2) (1) Facultad de Informática, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Boadilla del Monte, Spain {xavier, natalia, ammoreno}@fi.upm.es(2) Facultad de Informática, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Leganés, Spainmisanche@inf.uc3m.es Abstract: Usability is one of the key quality attributes in software development. The content of this paper is part of the research conducted within the European Union IST STATUS project, related to the development of techniques and procedures for improving usability of software architecture designs. In this paper, we will focuson the possible improvement of usability at software design time. For this purpose, we have identified, from both the literature and the project’s industrial partners’ experience, what we have called usability patterns. The usability patterns represent twenty usability mechanisms, for example, undo, cancel, multiple-languages, etc.,which improve final system usability and have an effect upon the design of the software system in which theyare implemen t ed. We also presen t possible design solu t ions for incorpora t ing t he respec ive usabili y mechanisms into a software system design. The design solutions have been obtained by means of an inductive process that guarantees that these solutions are possible, albeit not necessarily the only solutions.Keywords: Software architecture, software design, software usability1 IntroductionOne reason why sof ware archit ect ure research is attracting growing interest is the direct relationship between architectural decisions and the fulfilment of certain quali t y requiremen ts (Bosch, 2000). The idea underlying t his relat ionship is t hat a soft ware architecture needs t o be explicit ly designed so t hat the final syst em sat isfies specific qualit y at t ribut es. The most widespread studies on this subject refer to quality a t t ribu t es like performance or maintainability (Bengtsson et al., 2000). Usability is no t usually considered in sof t ware architecture, due t o t he widespread assump tion between software developers that usability has to do only wit h the visible part of the user interface. This assumption is not t rue, since usabilit y is st rongly related t o t he int eract ion part of t he syst em and it must be considered when designing t he rest of t he system, no jus he user in erface (Ferre e al., 2001). Decisions in sof t ware archi t ec t ure can severely compromise t he usabili t y of the final system, for example if an “undo” mechanism is not devised when t he sof t ware archi t ec t ure is established, i will be very cos t ly t o incorpora te afterwards. Therefore, i would be in eres ing orelate final sys t em usabili t y wi t h t he kind of decisions t aken in t he design of t he sof t ware architecture. It is in this cont ext t hat t he STATUS (SofTware Archi t ec t ure Tha suppor s USabili y)i projec t emerged, whose objec t ive is to develop techniques and procedures to be incorporated during the design of a sof tware sys tem to achieve improvements in t he usabilit y of t he syst em under construction. Tradi t ionally, usabili t y evalua tion before implemen t a tion is direc t ed towards user interface pro t o t ypes, and no t t o design specifications. Our approach aims o incorpora t e well-known usabilit y heuris ics int o t he design of the syst em before it is implement ed, shaped in the form of patterns. When no usabili t y exper t ise is available in t he software archi ec ure eam, usabilit y requiremen s may not be considered as being relat ed to soft warei STATUS project: EU funded project IST–2001–32298.architecture. This si ua ion leads o designs with usability problems ha would be much easier t o correc if discovered in t he sof ware archi ec ure design s t age. Figure 1 shows how t he usabili t y evaluation can be handled in t he sof t ware architecture design process, following the same process proposed in t he soft ware archit ect ure field for other quality at t ribut es, such as performance or maintainability.Figure 1: Architectural design method for usabilityproposed in STATUS The design process starts with the construction of a model of he sof ware archi ec ure from a set of functional requiremen s. Some usabili y requirements t hat can be evaluat ed in design t ime mus have already been es ablished as well.Although soft ware engineers will not design t hispreliminary model to be unreliable or under performon purpose, most non-functional requirement s are generally s udied la er on. Accordingly, hepreliminary design derived is evaluated with respect to some quality attributes, usability in this particularcase. The evalua ion of usabili y of an archi ec ural design is far from being easy, since sof ware architecture is represen ed by means of a se of design models, which cannot be tested directly with a user. One possibilit y is t o dynamically simulat e the archi ec ure, and such approach is being pursued as one of he lines of research in heSTATUS project . The t echniques for t his kind ofevaluation are described in (Uchit el et al., 2003).Another possibilit y is based on a st at ic perspect ivewhere usabilit y propert ies are searched for in t he design specifica t ions. Techniques t o evalua te a software archit ect ure from a st at ic perspect ive are described in (Folmer and Bosch, 2003). In this paper, we will focus on the lat t er, the st at ic perspective, studying possible usabili t y improvements that can be made at design time. Our approach is based on iden t ifying t he usabili t y properties (such as guidance, explicit user cont rol, and so on), that are needed for the software product being developed, and providing software developers with design solu ions ha address such usabilit y properties. The design solu t ions proposed areshaped in t he form of pa t t erns, which express common usability heuristics of the HCI field. In this way we express usabilit y knowledge by using t he terms and concep t s which are employed a t t hesoftware architecture design stage. For this purpose,section 2 shows t he approach t aken t o decompose usability int o several levels of abstraction t hat are progressively closer to soft ware archit ect ure. These progressive levels are represented by the concepts of usability attributes, usability properties and usability patterns. Then, sec t ion 3 shows how t o incorpora t e t heusability characteristics represent ed by t he usabilitypatterns in o a generic sof ware archi ec ure. For this purpose, we will use the concept of architectural pattern, which specifies, in t erms of componen s and t heir int errelat ionships, possible solut ions forincorporating aspects that will improve final system usability into the design. Finally, sect ion 4 briefly discusses t he use of t he approach taken in this paper.2 Usability Attributes, Properties and Patterns Software syst ems usabilit y is usually evaluat ed on the finished syst em, t rying t o assign values t o t he classical usability attributes (Cons t an tine and Lockwood, 1999; Nielsen, 1993; Shackel, 1991): • Learnability – how quickly and easily users can begin t o do produc ive work wit h a system that is new to them, combined with the ease of remembering the way a system must be operated. • Efficiency of use – the number of tasks per unit t ime t hat t he user can perform using the system. • Reliability – somet imes called “reliabilit y in use”, this refers to the error rate in using the syst em and the t ime it takes to recover from errors.• Satisfaction – t he subject ive opinions t hatusers form in using the system. However, the level of these usability attributes is toohigh for us to be able to examine what mechanisms should be applied t o a sof t ware archi t ec t ure t oimprove t hem. Therefore, t he philosophy followedin STATUS was t o decompose t hese at t ribut es into two in ermedia e levels of concep s closer t o he software solut ion: usabilit y propert ies and usabilit ypatterns.The firs t level involves rela t ing t he above-mentioned usabilit y a ribu es t o specific usabilit y properties t ha t de t ermine t he usabili t y characteristics to be improved in a system. Usability properties can also be seen as the requirements to be satisfied by a software system for it to be usable (for example, provide feedback t o t he user, provide explicit user cont rol, provide guidance t o t he user, etc). The second level was envisaged o iden ifyspecific mechanisms that might be incorporated into a soft ware architecture t o improve t he usabilit y of the final sys t em. These mechanisms have beencalled usability patterns and they address some needspecified by a usability propert y . Note that usabilitypatterns do no t provide any specific sof t waresolution t o be incorporated in t o a sof tware architecture; t hey jus t sugges t some abs tract mechanism that might be used to improve usability(for example, provide undos, alert s, command aggregations, wizards, etc.). The procedure followed t o ident ify t he relat ionshipbetween usability at t ribut es, properties and patterns is det ailed in (Andrés et al., 2002). We t ook a top-down approach from usability att ribut es (defined in the literature), through usability properties (derived, on t he one hand, from heuris ics and guidelines given in t he lit erat ure for improving usabilit y and, on t he ot her, from t he experience of t he project ’s industrial par t ners), t o finally iden t ify usabili ty patterns.A subse of t he above-mentioned rela t ionship is outlined in Table 1, showing how usabili t y properties relat e pat t erns t o usabilit y at t ribut es in a qualitative sense (an arrow indicates that a property positively affect s an attribute, that is, improves that attribute). For example, t he “wizard” pa t t ern improves learnabilit y: t he wizard pat ern uses t he concept of “guidance” t o t ake t he user t hrough a complex t ask one s t ep a t a t ime; “guidance” improves t he learnabili t y usabili t y a t t ribu t e. Usability pat erns may address one or more of t heusability proper t ies and usabili t y proper t ies may improve one or more usability attributes.Table 1: Attribute, Property & Pattern RelationshipsThe concept of usabilit y pat ern has already been used in the literature. This concept can be generally defined as “a descript ion of solut ions t hat improve usability at ribut es” (Perzel and Kane, 1999). The usability aspect s dealt wit h by t hese pat t erns refer basically t o user in erfaces, which is why t hesepatterns are also called user in t erface pa t terns(Cascade, 1997) or in t erac t ion design pa t t erns (Tidwell, 1998). As indicated by aut hors like Welie and Troe t t eberg (Welie and Troe t t eberg, 2000), although several pa t t ern collec t ions exis t , anaccepted se t of such pa t t erns has no t emerged. There appears t o be a lack of consensus about t he format and focus of user interface patterns. Possible examples of some user int erface pat erns are (Cascade, 1997; Tidwell, 1998; Welie and Troetteberg, 2000): feedback, wizard, provide t he user wi t h all informa t ion needed in the same window, mark required fields when filling a form, etc.The differences be t ween t he usabili t y pa t terns proposed in t his paper and t he classic usabilit y or interface pa erns exis ing in he li era ure lie basically in that the classic patterns of usability are based on he improvemen of he applica ion interface, which means ha hese pa erns are implemented mainly during he in erface design phase and generally affect low-level component s, like pseudo-code. On t he ot her hand, t he usabilit y patterns ou lined in his paper address he mechanisms o be considered in a sof ware architecture, dealing wit h usabilit y aspec s in t he early s ages of he developmen process. For example, the solution proposed by Welie (Welie and Troetteberg, 2000) for the feedback pattern is based on “provide a valid indication of progress. Progress is typically the time remaining until completion, thenumber of units processed or the percentage of work done. Progress can be shown using a widget such as a progress bar. The progress bar must have a label stating the relat ive progress or the unit in which is measured”. From a differenperspec ive, our solution for his same pa ern covers he components t o be added t o a soft ware archit ect ure and the relationships among these components. The second column in Table 2 list s t he usabilit y patterns proposed in the STATUS project. The first column of t he t able shows t he usabilit y propert ies related to each pattern. It should be no ed t hat t he propert ies of Nat ural Mapping and Consis t ency canno tbe arranged around specific usability patterns. The reason is that these properties require the performance of differenttasks and ac t ivi t ies t hroughou t t he en t ire development process rat her t han the applicat ion of particular solut ions at t he archit ect ural level. For example, the provision of natural mapping between the user t asks and t he t asks t o be implement ed in the sys em calls for soft ware requiremen s o beelicited during the analysis process bearing in mindthis objec ive, and he sys em mus be designed according to these requirements. The same goes for consistency, which involves differen t ac t ivi t ies throughout t he lengt hy development process of t he original system or new versions.3 Architectural Usability Patterns The most widely used concept of pattern in software development is t he design pat t ern, and it is usedparticularly in the object-oriented paradigm. In thiscontext, a design pattern is a description of classesand object s t hat work together to solve a particular problem (Gamma et al., 1995). These patterns showa solut ion t o a problem, which has been obtained from i t s use in differen t applica t ions. No t e, nevertheless, t hat a design pat ern should not be seen as a unique or original solu ion, bu as a possible solution.Besides the idea of usability pattern, we also use the concep of archi t ec t ural pa ern in he STATUS project. Given t ha t we have defined a usabili y pattern as a mechanism to be applied to the design of a sys t em archi t ec t ure in order t o address aparticular usability property, an architectural patternwill de t ermine how t his usabili t y pa t tern is converted into software architecture. In other words, what effect t he considerat ion of a usability pat t ern will have on t he componen t s of t he sys t em architecture. Abs rac ing he defini ion of designpattern, an architectural pattern can be defined as adescription of t he component s of a design and t he communication be t ween t hese componen t s t o provide a solu t ion for a usability pa t tern. Like design patterns, archit ect ural pat t erns will reflect a possible solut ion t o a problem, t he implement at ion of a usability pattern.Therefore, the architectural pattern is the last chain in the usability attribute, property and pattern chain tha t connec t s sof t ware sys t em usabili t y wi t h software syst em archit ect ure. Accordingly, anot her column can be added to Table 1, as Table 3 shows.3.1 Procedure for out pu t tingarchitectural patterns for usabilityIn the following, we describe the procedure followed to ident ify t he architectural patterns that design theproposed usabili ty pa t terns. This procedure iscomposed of two parts:1. Application of a process of induc ion t oabstrac he archi ec ural pa erns fromparticular designs for several projec sdeveloped by bo h researchers andpractitioners. For this purpose, we took thefollowing steps: 1.1. We asked designers o build designmodels for several sys ems wi houtincluding usability patterns.1.2. For each usabilit y pa ern, we asked designers o modify heir earlier designs o include he func ionali y corresponding t o t he pa t tern under consideration. 1.3. For each usabili ty pa t tern, we abstracted the respect ive archit ect ural pattern from t he modificat ions madeby the developers to the design. 2. The applica tion of t he resul t ing architectural patterns from step 1 to several developments to validate their feasibility.To illust rat e t his process, we show below how t he reusing information pat t ern was abst ract ed from a restauran orders and ables management application. The sequence diagram shown in Figure 2 and t heclass diagram shown in Figure 3 show part of t he design of his applica ion, specifically he part related t o t he ent ry of t he menu request ed by t he restaurant customer. Figure 4 and Figure 5 show thesequence and class diagrams, respec ively, nowconsidering the inclusion of the reusing information usability pattern for this same functionality. We can see how t he inclusion of t he reuser class provides the possibility of repeating a previous operation.Table 3 - Usability attributes/properties/pattern and architectural pattern relationships: Reques t: Table: Consum ption : Reques t-line : Alert-M anager: Ing r ed i e n tFigure 2: Interaction diagram without the reusing information patternNam (fr om C A ddress A vailableT Chec S tatus : StringS moker/Non S m oker : Boolean Code : IChangeS ChangeS H o ur S ta tu sInput -CodConsum pt ion()init-request ()Init-req ues t ()()In i t Co dCo ns ump t i o n (c od e )()B ill()()G e tP ric e(pric e )()(f rom CLA SSES)O G Read(cons LineNam Nam eReal-StockA skF or(ingredient)()(fr om C L AS SES)Desc Chec ConsAddress : StringAvailableTables(date, hour, kind)()Check(date, hour)()Hour St a t usInput-C odC onsum ption()init-request()Init-request()()InitC odC onsum ption(code)()Bill()()GetPrice(price)()(from CLASSES)Description Check-Stock()Consum Crea t e Line(co de )()Consum t i on Pri ce (price)()GetPri ce (pr ice)()(from CLASSES)OK()MCheck()()Amoun tGetRestaurants(list)()Status : StringSm oker/Non Sm oker : BooleanCode : IntegerChangeState()ChangeState()()Init-request()Undo()()Input-C odC onsum ption(code)()DuplicateC onsum ption()()Get-help(help)()New Book()()Get(restaurant, data, hour,kind)()ConnectingSystem()()Pressed(F1)()SpecificHelp(tppic)()Cancel(request)()(from CLASSES)GeFigure 5: Class diagram with the reusing information patternFrom this design and o thers crea ted by o ther developers, we have abs rac ed a general design solution as shown in Figure 6.Figure 6: Generic solution for the reusing informationpatternLikewise, we have applied this inductive process to the other usability patterns to develop the respective architectural pa erns. This process is de ailed in (Juristo et al., 2003).3.2 Description of t he Archi tec turalPatternsSince t he ult imat e aim of this work is t o provide a set of architectural recommendations to improve the usability of sof tware sys tems, these recommendations will be described in an architectural pattern catalogue. Each pattern in this catalogue has to be described according t o the following fields:Pattern Name - Patterns must have suggestive names t hat give an idea of t he problem t hey address and the solution in a word or two. Problem – This describes when t o apply t he pattern and in which cont ext. In t he case of architectural patterns, the problem will refer to a specific usability pattern to be materialised.Solution – This describes t he elemen t s hat make up t he archi ec ure, t heir relat ionships, responsibilities, e t c. The solu t ion does not describe a definit e design, as a pat t ern can beseen as a template that can be applied in many differen si ua ions. Particularly, he solu t ion for a specific pattern will be specified by means of the following elements:o Diagram- A figure that represents the components of t he archi t ec t ure andtheir rela t ions. Numbered arrowsbetween the different components will represen t t he rela t ions. The arrows with solid lines specify t he dat a flow, while t he do t t ed lines represen he control flow between the components. o Participants – A descrip ion of t hecomponents t ha t t ake part in the proposed solu t ion and t he rela t ions (represented by arrows) t o det ermine how t hey are t o assume their responsibilities.Usability benefi t s - Descrip t ion of whichusability aspec t s (usabili y proper ties) can be improved by including the pattern.Usability ra tionale - A reasonable argumentation for t he impac t of pa t t ern application on usabilit y, t hat is, what usabilit y attributes have been improved, and which ones may have got worse. Init ially, t his feat ure will be comple ed wi h informa ion coming from other au hors or from he experience of he consortium members. However, once t he patterns have been applied to real applications, this field will be filled in wit h t he result s of empirical experience.Consequences - Impact of the pattern on other quality a t t ribu t es, like flexibili t y, por t abili t y, maintainability, et c. As for t he above feat ure, this one will be filled in wit h t he result s of empirical experience.Related pa t t erns - Which archi t ec tural patterns are closely rela t ed o t his one, and what differences there are.Implementation of t he pat t ern in OO - Thearchitectural patterns provided are patterns that can be applied in any development paradigm. However, as t hese pat t erns have been obtained and refined for OO applications, we will provide guides t ending t o address pa t t ern application in this field. Basically, we will describe the classes deriving from the pattern’s main component s. These guides are illust rat ed in the example shown in the following section.Example of the applicat ion of t he pat ern in question.In Figure 7, we show how t he architect ural pattern reusing information is described. The o t her architectural pat t erns t hat provide design solut ions for t he usabilit y pat t erns proposed in the STATUS project have been described similarly.4 DiscussionAfter genera t ing t he archi t ec t ural pa t t erns wepropose o presen a se of prac ical guideshat provide practitioners with information on:• How t o select an archit ect ural pat t ern, forexample, from t he usabilit y at t ributes t hat are to be enhanced in each design and how to de t ermine t he impac t on t he o t her quality attributes.• How t o use an archi ec ural pa ern forinclusion in a given design.The effor o improve sof ware archi ec ure wi hregard to usability present ed in this paper is relatedto another important part of STATUS, which is the assessmen t of t his archi t ec t ure wi t h respec t t o usability. This assessment is being conducted in two ways in t he project : a scenario-based archit ect ural assessmen t and a simula t ion-based archi t ec t ural assessment. This evalua ion will yield he se of shortcomings that a given software architecture has with respec t t o cer t ain usabili t y a t t ribu t es or parameters. The architectural patterns could then be used t o implement usabilit y improvement solut ions for the detected shortcomings.Figure 7: Example of architectural pattern: reusing informationHowever, the idea of architectural patterns can alsobe used independen t ly of t he archi t ec t ureevaluation, as they provide design solu tions forcertain usabili t y requiremen ts (any usabili typroperties included in t he requiremen tsspecification). The considerat ion of t hese usabilityrequirements at the start of development and later indesign, by means of archi t ec t ural pa t t erns, isexpected t o provide improvement s in final syst em usability.We have to take into account that the final software system usabilit y has t o be validat ed and measured when t he syst em in quest ion has been built and is operational. Therefore, we will have t o wait until these results have been applied to real projects to get empirical data to properly verify t he as yet intuitive benefits t hat t he use of archit ectural pat erns can provide for soft ware syst ems usabilit y. At t he t imeof wri ting, one of t he indus t rial par tners was applying t he pat t erns in a real project. As soon asthe sys t em has been developed, t he classicalusability evalua t ions will be run t o check theimprovements in t he final usabilit y of t he syst emconstructed.References Andrés A., Bosch J., Charalampos A, Chatley R., FerreX., Folmer E., Jurist o N., Magee J., Menegos S., Moreno A.

加贝的定律加贝的定律,又称为加贝定律或加贝原理,是由美国计算机科学家彼得·加贝(Peter J. Denning)于1971年提出的。
该定律主要描述了计算机系统的性能与设计参数之间的关系,为计算机系统设计和性能优化提供了重要的指导原则。
加贝的定律可以简单地表述为:在计算机系统中,任何给定的硬件或软件设计参数的改进,都只能带来有限的性能提升。
换句话说,即使我们不断提升硬件的处理能力、增加软件的优化程度,但由于其他因素的限制,系统性能的提升总是有限的。
这一定律的提出源于加贝对计算机系统设计和性能优化的深入研究。
他发现,在计算机系统中,不同组件之间存在着各种不同的瓶颈和限制。
无论是处理器的时钟频率、内存的容量、硬盘的读写速度,还是网络的带宽等,都会对系统性能产生影响。
而这些组件之间的相互作用和限制,导致了性能的终极上限。
加贝的定律的核心思想是,计算机系统的性能提升是一个综合性的问题,需要综合考虑各个组件的性能,并找到性能提升的瓶颈所在。
只有找到瓶颈所在,并有针对性地进行优化,才能实现系统性能的真正提升。
在实际应用中,加贝的定律为计算机系统的设计和优化提供了重要的指导。
通过分析和评估不同组件的性能指标,可以找到性能瓶颈所在,并针对性地进行优化。
比如,在处理器性能提升受限的情况下,可以通过增加并行计算的能力,来提升系统的总体性能。
在内存容量有限的情况下,可以通过优化算法和数据结构,来减少内存的占用,提高系统的响应速度。
然而,需要注意的是,加贝的定律并不是说计算机系统的性能无法提升,而是指在特定条件下,性能提升的幅度是有限的。
在实际应用中,我们可以通过不断迭代和创新,利用新的技术和方法来突破性能瓶颈,实现更大幅度的性能提升。
总结起来,加贝的定律是计算机科学领域的重要原则之一,它提醒我们在进行计算机系统设计和性能优化时,要全面考虑各个组件的性能,并找到瓶颈所在,有针对性地进行优化。
只有这样,才能实现系统性能的真正提升。
软件测试基础(新)
下面是各种测试方法选择的综合策略,可供
读者在实际应用的测试过程中参考。 (1)首先考虑等价类划分,包括输入条件和 输出条件的等价类划分,将无限测试变为有 限测试,这是减少工作量和提高测试效率最 有效的方法。可以充分利用不同的等价类方 法,最好既考虑有效的等价类,也考虑无效 的等价类。
(2)在仸何情况下都必须使用边界值分析方
黑盒测试用例设计方法包括:等价类划分法、
边界值分析法、错误推测法、因果图法、决策 表法、正交试验设计法、场景法等。这些测试 用例的设计方法不是单独存在的,具体到每个 项目里可能会用到多种方法。不用类型的软件 有各自的特点,每种测试用例设计的方法也有 各自的特点,针对不同软件如何利用这些黑盒 方法是非常重要的,在实际测试中,往往是综 合运用各种方法才能有效地提高测试效率和测 试覆盖度,这就需要认真掌握这些方法的原理, 积累更多的测试经验,有效提高测试水平。
(5)如果被测软件的业务逻辑清晰,同时又
是系统级别的测试,那么可以考虑用场景法 来设计测试用例。设计系统级别的测试时, 在考虑使用场景法的同时,理解需求觃约尤 为重要。在分析测试是否达到了所有的供电 能覆盖时,功能点的划分要根据具体情况划 分得越细越好,但要考虑每个功能的高内聚 性和低耦合性。同时,综合考虑使用其他测 试方法。
时间加班是对员工身心不利的,尽管本人工 作时长不多,但是看到不少因为加班一个活 生生的人健康拖垮的案例比比皆是,钱是赚 钱到了,生命乊花却枯萎了,感觉得不偿失, 在此提醒一下广大的软件测试从业人员,注 意身体健康,多运动!
1、所有测试都应追溯到用户需求。
2、尽早地和不断地迚行软件测试。 3、不可能完全地测试。
总乊一切与软件测试有关的行为,都是为了

Usability Engineering (UE)
• Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) mismatches have caused fatal mistakes
– Casey (Santa Barbara, CA ’93) reports a case where a radiotherapy accelerator proton beam delivered a lethal 25 M eV as a result of a poorly designed, buggy user interface

Software Quality
• Six ISO Standard high-level characteristics to describe software quality
– Functionality – Reliability – Efficiency – Maintainability – Portability – Usability
Questions?
• Any questions?
• Time permitting, brief navigation to several websites displaying examples of usability
Introduction
• Initial thoughts
– Frequently software engineers would like to know if there are any good resources and documentation for designing a good GUI – No magic bullet in design, rather there is a set of rules and suggestions outlined in SWEBOK – IBM Report: 42% of users avoided ordering from the web when presented with a poorly designed user interface
Software Usability Evaluation
• Evaluation should take places at all stages of development • Research centers often use laboratories with one-way mirrors, microphones, and cameras to monitor how a user may interact with a system for the first time • Fitted curve can estimate the number of problems uncovered based on the number of evaluated users • 5 users usually uncover approx. 80% of errors
•
Usability
• Five characteristics
– Understandability – Learnability – Operability – Attractiveness (misspelled in the article) – Compliance to application-related standards, conventions, regulations in law, and protocols
UserUser-Centered Development
• UCD process (ISO 13407) lists 4 activities undertaken during a project
1. 2. 3. 4. Understand and specify the context of use Specify the user and organizational requirements Produce design solutions Evaluate designs against requirements
Usability
• Usability definition: “characteristics relating to the effort needed for use, and on the individual assessment of such use, by a stated or implied set of users” Discussion: What does this definition actually mean? Do the users have any implied prerequisites for system use?
Rapid Prototyping
• Creation of a limited, functional user interface for a “test drive” proven effective • Allows for feedback to be obtained in earlier stages of development • Helps avoid errors resulting in design problems from miscommunication about user requirements
• Usability Professionals Association (UPA) formed at ACM SIG-CHI ’92 by 30 delegates; now over 2000 members
UPA resources
• Body of Knowledge spans studies done at 63 research and development centers • Over 350 articles and laboratory reviews • Human-Computer Interaction journal publishes many up-to-date articles • As a result, UE has expanded its process models, design standards, and evaluation methodology all combines into usercentered development (UCD)
Future Challenges
• Web-based user interfaces have been a limiting factor compared to traditional GUI development • Smaller display size and limited input of mobile applications are current drawbacks with many portable implementations • Some systems for I/O and control may best be kept on larger form-factor equipment
Summary
• No single proven technique for development of high-usability software • Usability Engineering becoming more advanced, contributions have increased overall software product quality • Further HW/SW advances may solve some known limitations and drawbacks
