Harry Redknapp was in court this week accused of two counts of cheating the public revenue when he was manager of Portsmouth. He was accused together with the then Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric. They both denied the charges and a two-week trial began at Southwark Crown Court. The Tottenham Hotspur manager denied to police that he was a "fiddler" and insisted he had paid a "fortune" in income tax to the authorities over his football career. For the period he was Portsmouth manager he earned between £35,000 and £40,000 a week and paid "every penny" in taxes owed to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, including £1million in a year, Southwark Crown Court heard. In a series of taped pol...

A white paper by Dele Oluwole, MBCS, MSc For any hypothesis to be endorsed in today's technological age there must always be a consequential upshot to refer to, whether as an artefact or a theory it must at least demonstrate some degree of relative proof that is worth trying. Traditionally software-testing life cycle would include unit, integration, systems, and user acceptance testing but unfortunately the life cycle will not work for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that requires a high degree of agile methodology because of its incremental development approach, especially that SOA focuses on incremental builds, deployment, or code releases. The incremental approach in SOA requi...

Because of my heavy carbohydrate diets, I do not need anyone to tell me that noise of terrible blasts escape from the toilet whenever I engaged it, so I would normally take extra caution especially when not doing it at home. Some measures I take to envelope the noise include running the tap or singing praise songs at the top of my voice. While growing up in a small town of Kabba in Nigeria my father gave me an invaluable advice, he said 'never step out of your door to attend a party or visit a friend without first killing your appetite'. In order words, do not always anticipate that food will be served at parties or whenever you are visiting a friend. He said 'when you go to parties with ...

The tension in the air is becoming thicker; the palpitation is evidently gathering a momentum of unprecedented magnitude. We are losing our fortitude as the economic pressure takes its toll on our expediency. In 2010, when the wind of political change blew across the UK, we took solace in the ballot and alcohol; in the ballot for change, and alcohol to manage depression. An election expected to redeem our faith in the premiership. It was also going to be an election supposedly meant to redefine the boundaries, conceivably, align and curb the United Kingdom Border Agency’s (UKBA) exuberance. Hitherto, as soon as an immigration minister resumes office he tries to appease us with ne...

Load and performance testing is a significant part of the Agile development process. Before now, Testers could not match the technical level of the development teams whose applications they test. For this reason and conventionally too, Agile has been limited by the principle of having teams physically co-located. Load performance testing goes beyond click and run, record and play and all other convenient auto testing paraphernalia that could invariably diminish the skill set of tester. There is need to identify how to work around these limitations both from the perspective of Agile and load testing technical demand. If a tester is too satisfied with his level of skill set, especiall...
