The Evolution of Received Pronunciation (RP)

Origins of RP in Public Schools

During Victorian times in the 19th century, boys from different regions were brought together in public schools and taught a uniform accent. These boys were destined for influential positions, which elevated the perceived status of their accent, associating it with the upper class. This system significantly influenced the dissemination of one particular accent of English: Received Pronunciation (RP), spoken by approximately 1 in 50 people.

RP's Dissemination and Shifting Authority

The radio and television, particularly the BBC, adopted RP, especially during World War II. Non-standard accents were often perceived as deficient. Today, RP holds less authority than it once... Continue reading "The Evolution and Global Influence of the English Language" »

SOFTWARE TESTING

Testing can only show the presence of errors, not their absence. The goal of testing is confidence.

• Validation: Are we building the right product? What does the customer need?
• Verification: Are we building the product right? Functional/Non-Functional requirements.

SOFTWARE INSPECTION VS. SOFTWARE TESTING

While inspection will go through the code without running the program, testing will run the program and look at the results. Incomplete programs can only be inspected, not tested. Inspections can control aspects of good software (maintainability…), not just the results.

TEST CASE:

• Requirements
• Data/Input
• Actions
• Expected Results

TEST CASE PRINCIPLES:

• A test tries to find flaws in a program.
• A good test case will show a possible defect
