Unit test and its specifications
When the designing process of a unit has been over, the next important step is the designing of unit tests. It is very tough to design the test before the code is drawn. If the code has been generated first, it is very tempting to test the software against the observation which has been made for it, rather than its actual work. A unit test comprises nunit test in order to get the
specification. In every unit testing four essential elements are included:
1- Full statement of the unit’s initial state, the initial point of test case. 2- The inputs to the units, which should include the value of external data generated by the unit. 3- What the base of the test happening for the tests, in the terms of unit functionality and the useful analysis used for the designing of test case. 4- The outcome which has been expected from the tests( the outcome which is expected should always follow the test specifications, before the test actually executed).
For developing unit test specification, here some subsections are given:
First of all make it run. The main purpose of the first test case for any unit test specification should be executed under the simplest way possible. The first unit test for specification if executed in perfect manner will boost up the confidence for the rest of the process.
Second, you have to go for positive testing. The test cases should be designed in a way to show the unit under the test execute what it is supposed to do. The test designer should walk through the relevant specification.

What if Skype had an API?
I started keeping Skype running after reading a TechCrunch piece explaining how screen sharing works over Skype. I needed exactly this functionality to support a few friends who are new to blogging. To be able to see what’s on their screen instead of relying on their description makes a huge difference.
Using Skype makes me wonder what if they gone in the direction that Twitter did, making it possible for status messages to scroll by in a River of News. It’s amazingly close to what I consider the ideal configuration. A centralized name service with peer-to-peer updates.
But Skype was embedded in a large company, and who knows what kinds of pressure they were under. It certainly wasn’t being run in an entrepreneurial way. Which led me to wonder how different things would have been if Skype had an API. A simple one that allowed you to push a message to another Skype user, and be able to catch a message flowing into the Skype client. Could have been great.
It’s a lot like rssCloud or what Dropbox is doing. Sooner or later there will be a unifying layer that handles all real-time traffic through an open API that doesn’t rely on central servers any more than the Internet itself does. It’s coming, you can feel it.
Update: Skype does have an API.
