  How can I automate a repetitive web search of rates from different cities?         


Author: Prana
Date: Jan 17, 2007 06:39

Good morning,

I am looking for a macro/routine/application that would help me get a
set of international rates and times, in US dollars, to ship a .5
letter envelope or a 3 lb box to various cities in different counties
around the world.

Rather than entering the starting city and 10-20 destination cities,
over and over again, I wanted to automate this, and have the results
dropped in an output file.

These are the series of steps:

Go to the shipper's website (ex. ups.com)
Tell it we are starting in Brazil, for example
Enter the starting city in Brazil, enter the postal code,
Enter the destination country, city and postal code (if there is one)
Change the date from a drop-down
Click "Detailed Time and Cost" radio button
Click Next.
...
Then record the price and transit time.

  What is the difference between a Product and a Solution?

What is the difference between a Product and a Solution in the IT
industry, particularly the software industry?

One example can be found at http://software.emc.com. The website has a
link to products while another to solutions.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

  The monkey tester

Apply the monkey paradigm to test your GUI (graphical user interface)
for Windows. Do you know that a monkey using a piano keyboard could
play a Vivaldi opera? Could the same monkey, using your application,
discovery defects?

Send randomly tons of events to the application and see what happen.
Click, double-click, right-click, select menu, press key-board and
other events, with a taboo-list that avoid cycling on same event.

More details and software on www.poderico.it/guitester

Looking forward for your comment,

BCS-FACS Evening Seminar Series

What Can We Expect From Program Verification?

Professor Michael Jackson, Open University and Consultant

7 February 2007
5.45pm start

BCS London Offices
First Floor,
The Davidson Building
5 Southampton Street
London WC2E 7HA

The admirable ambition to prove programs correct assumes the existence
of a formal program specification, which is distinct from a formal
---or
informal---statement of system requirements. In some systems the
necessarily non-formal nature of the physical and human world, where
the software is required to achieve its effects, may make a formal
specification very hard, or even impossible, to obtain. A narrow view
of the nature and goals of program verification is therefore often less
