How to accelerate any (Soft Ware) project

Now-a-days, I’ve been helping the pre-sales folks towards finalizing the prospective projects for our employer. In the recent time, one of our prospective client asked about the tips to accelerate any project from our experience. I’ve done some investigation and found the following points. I’m documenting here, such that, before I forget them and the effort in identifying these points should not end in vain.

Process

1) Expand the team with dedicated developers towards each module – UnitDrivenDevelopment
2) Plan the build delivery
3) DB Management should be ongoing activity
4) Integrating testing as often as possible
5) Prioritize  the Interface Requirement Specifications (IRSs) as frequently as possible

Approach

1) Escape the probability approach
2) Avoid problematic functionality
3) Document the Traceability Index
4) Have the reality (nearly real) data with the developers
5) Plan for the asynchronous processing

Technology

1) Have the LOGs in place within Code
2) Plan the audit functionality for DB
3) Automate & escalate all Event / exception logs to the respective folks
4) Have the loosely coupled objects interact with a mutual contract pattern
5) Task driven user interface should be the theme of workforce
6) Think of XML/REST/JSON over ASMX/WCF/etc
7) REST over HTTP would be a great idea

Network Intrusion Detection using Supervised ML technique

Declaimer This is my initial version of the synopsis for PhD studies. There are plenty of things that i have to complete before i prepare the final version. Thus, this would be the alpha version. Due to the length of the blog post, will not be posting the entire draft. 1.Title of the thesis Network Intrusion Detection using Supervised Machine Learning Technique with Feature Selection 2.Introduction Intrusion Detection System, IDS, is a development which improve the network security and defending the information of the association. The IDS encourage the network chairman to recognize any malicious action on the network and alarms the executive to get the information made sure about by taking the appropriate activities against those attacks. An intrusion alludes to any unauthorized access or malicious usage of data assets. An intruder or an attacker is a true element that attempts to discover a way to increase unauthorized access to data, causes hurt or take part in different

Keep the system active, to avoid the auto lock

Most of the corporate offices will have a policy for screen locking. While working with a long running applications at background, like the automation scripts for testing the applications, it would be difficult to maintain the unlock state of the screen. Thus, we found a technique to keep the system active with a cheating technique. Below is the powershall scripts that keeps the system active ' I am clicking on NUMLOCK for every 5 seconds to keep the system awake Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")'to get user name numOfHours=inputbox("Hi " & objNetwork.UserName & ", How many hours you want me to be awake? :->") 'time variable conatins the time in hours Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Creating an object for clicking keys from keyboard numOfMilliSecs=numOfHours*3600*1000 'converting hours to milli seconds While numOfMilliSecs>0 'runs until tym becomes zero WshShell.Send

Common mistakes by Interviewer

Now-a-days am conducting few interviews for our organization. While sitting in the other side of the table, I've visualized why most of the interviews fail with me. But when conducting these interviews, most of the candidates are attending with self confidence that they are suitable for the mentioned role and attend without preparation. When people do some real preparation, they tend to fail due to lack of awareness at the interviewer towards interviewing techniques. Having failed in many interviews, I've learned that the interviews fail because of the following... Reflection (or) Mirroring: The interviewer tends to see self within the candidate. The interviewer starts to compare self with the candidate and evaluate. This evaluation is totally personal. The yard stick for measuring the candidature is not generalized, but influenced.   Template (or) Checklist: The interviewer has a template of a questionnaire. The interviewer measures the candidate with respect to the list of st
