Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethods of Utilizing Tropical Peat Land for Housing SchemeYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper discusses some of the methods and recent technologies in utilizing cheap marginal land such as tropical peat for housing scheme. Buildings on peat are usually suspended on piles, but ground around it may still settle. Therefore a suitable method of construction should be tackle to overcome serious problem such as localized sinking and slip failure, massive primary and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasured Test-Driven Development: Using Measures to Monitor and Control the Unit DevelopmentY. Dubinsky, O. HazzanWe analyze Test Driven Development (TDD) from cognitive and social perspectives. Based on our analysis, we suggest a technique for controlling and monitoring the TDD process by examining measures that relate to the size and complexity of both code and tests. We call this approach Measured TDD. The motivation for TDD arose from practitioners’ tendency to rush into code production, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
