PowerPoint is nearly ubiquitous in today’s world–in business settings, of course, but in schools and universities, clubs and organizations–almost everywhere you turn. It’s not a difficult tool to use, but the presentations people create in PowerPoint range widely in quality–dazzling or dull, enlivening or enervating. Now, to help users deliver high-quality presentations, even when they’re short on time, is this smart, concise guide designed to take them from standing start to stellar finish on their first presentations. Rather than cover every last option PowerPoint offers, author Tom Negrino steps readers through on a single, basic presentation, showing them the quickest, easiest, most effective way to communicate their ideas. Each short lesson builds a component of a basic presentation, from creating slides, formatting charts and tables, incorporating sound and video, creating transitions, and adding a bit of polish to their debut presentations. Friendly, step-by-step instructions and large, full-color screen shots make the information instantly accessible.

Kim H. Pries and Jon M. Quigley, “Testing Complex and Embedded Systems”
CR C | 2011 | ISBN: 1439821402 | 319 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB

Many enterprises regard system-level testing as the final piece of the development effort, rather than as a tool that should be integrated throughout the development process. As a consequence, test teams often execute critical test plans just before product launch, resulting in much of the corrective work being performed in a rush and at the last minute.

Presenting combinatorial approaches for improving test coverage, Testing Complex and Embedded Systems details techniques to help you streamline testing and identify problems before they occur—including turbocharged testing using Six Sigma and exploratory testing methods. Rather than present the continuum of testing for particular products or design attributes, the text focuses on boundary conditions. Examining systems and software testing, it explains how to use simulation and emulation to complement testing.

Details how to manage multiple test hardware and software deliveries
Examines the contradictory perspectives of testing—including ordered/ random, structured /unstructured, bench/field, and repeatable/non repeatable
Covers essential planning activities prior to testing, how to scope the work, and how to reach a successful conclusion
Explains how to determine when testing is complete

Where you find organizations that are successful at product development, you are likely to find groups that practice disciplined, strategic, and thorough testing. Tapping into the authors’ decades of experience managing test groups in the automotive industry, this book provides the understanding to help ensure your organization joins the likes of these groups.
