With the Porsche Panamera you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Porsche 718 Cayman, due to its larger tank size and better fuel economy. There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Porsche Panamera will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Porsche 718 Cayman, which has a much lower MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Porsche Panamera and the Porsche 718 Cayman have similar Destination Charges. Since the Porsche Panamera is much wider than the Porsche 718 Cayman, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Porsche Panamera, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Porsche 718 Cayman. With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Porsche Panamera transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Porsche 718 Cayman. The Porsche Panamera has a significantly larger turning radius than the Porsche 718 Cayman, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots. When it comes to horsepower, the Porsche Panamera is somewhat more powerful than the Porsche 718 Cayman. People who frequently chauffeur around a lot of people will appreciate the Porsche Panamera more than the Porsche 718 Cayman, due to its significantly greater seating capacity. With its significantly greater cargo capacity, the Porsche Panamera will be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Porsche 718 Cayman.
Some can be easy, Some will be tough for sure. Its actually how one gets to handle the different situations defines the level of success one enjoys. Never worry about the situation you are in because that is already upon you. Instead ask yourself how can you win from here. Handling Disappointments: The Unexpected conversations in the above situations can also lead to disappointments. Handling disappointments successfully is as important as handling the successes in one's career. I found Don Shula's twenty-four hour rule quite relevant in managing disappointments at workplace. I had a twenty-four hour rule. I allowed myself, my coaches, and our players a maximum of twenty-four hours after football game to celebrate a victory or bemoan a defeat. During that time, everyone was encouraged to experience the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat as deeply as possible, while learning as much as we could from that same experience.
Once the twenty-four hour deadline had passed, we put it behind us and focused our energies on preparing for next opponent. For managing multiple tasks and passions at work and in life in general, it is important to be able to distinguish between the tasks you are merely interested in as against the tasks you are truly committed for. I learned from author and consultant Art Turock that we need to make a distinction between being interested and being committed. The quality to do what you have said you will do, in the time you have committed to must be applied to the smallest of tasks in your life. Is it possible to eliminate Globalization testing altogether? Although as a passionate professional, i may be biased in my views and opinions around this but this one is good to think further and investigate. I did respond with a "No" with some reasons around external dependencies and Product architecture and lot of other variable factors but this one certainly deserves a little bit more thought.
There was one more good question on what is the right ratio of Globalization testing vs English Testing. I would write about my perspective to these questions sometime soon. If you want to Learn about Software Globalization Engineering, one of the practical tools that i have come across is "World Ready Software Example", which can be found here . Originally designed to support only Windows 2000 and Windows XP, this tool actually works on Windows 7 to a good extent. You can actually try out several features of a fully Globalized application. What can you do with this tool ? You can check the Local formats like Date, Time, Currency, Calendar, Numbers from the loads of different locales. You can check the Multilingual User Interface feature and change the current language to any listed language at the run-time. You can simulate Pseudo Translation. You can simulate Pseudo Mirroring. Mirroring is the process of simulating the RTL (Right-to-Left languages like Arabic etc.). How does this tool look like ? I am back and on the time that i promised.
Breaks are always good and this one was no different. I got the invitation to present at Silicon India's SofTec 2011 Software Testing Conference and completed my presentation yesterday. The stage was not new for me having presented in 2010 edition as well(on the same stage). In 2010, i presented on "Globalization Testing- Getting your Software World Ready". This year it had to be different. Cloud is more of an in-phenomenon and more relevant to talk about in the Conference. I had developed a fascination for the similar topic earlier this year and thought i could build upon that. So my Topic for SofTec 2011 was- "The Emergence of Cloud Computing and Software Testing- A Perspective". Importance of Learning by Association. Associating the origin of Cloud computing with the Advent of Electricity. Basics of Cloud computing including Grid and Utility computing. Covering the business models around Cloud Computing- including IaaS, PaaS, SaaS. The inter-relation between Cloud Computing and Software Testing.
