Vanguard (Lagos) - Globalcom Telecommunications has launched the first “Third Generation” - 3G wireless network service in three states of Nigeria - Lagos, Port Harcort, and Abuja, enabling subscribers to have the ability to watch mobile TV channels such as CNN.

Globalcom which had won the licence to operate the 3G service in March of this year, at a cost of $150 million, launched the service at a ceremony at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos. This will be the second time it is in the forefront of pioneering the latest transmission network in Nigeria, having introduced the 2.5G technology at launch in 2003.

Generally, Software Testing is the verification and validation of Softwares that we use on a daily basis from a set of rules called Requirements from the End Users point of view. This ranges from software games to Microsoft Office e.t.c. It can also be either a front-end testing - which is the testing of interfaces such as web applications on various platforms - or a back-end testing - which is the testing of databases with the goal of generating data for analytical purposes in a report form with the use of tool such as Business Objects or Crystal Clear.

Part of the deliverables for Software Testing are various documentations such as The Test Plan and Test Cases which most companies interchange. But how do we eradicate the misuse of these words especially when you interview with a particular company and you don’t use the general word jargons of that company and they think that you do not know what you are saying?

An article in the Nigerian Tribune today, pointed out that the FG has recently abolished two popular subjects that some of us cannot forget for a long time - Integrated Science (IS) and Introductory Technology (IT). It brings back some great memories to me about those subjects. These were subjects that were the practical foundation for a university career in the Sciences (I studied Industrial Chemistry for First degree and Geochemistry for Masters). Integrated Science was a subject that combined all three core science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology - PhyChemBa as we called them in those days) together. I was not much of a fan of Introductory Technology, but I had lots of friends who cherished taking that subject twice a week.  This has led to careers in Engineering for a whole lot of people.

I wonder what people’s take on the abolition of these two impotant subjects are. By the way, read the full story from the Nigerian Tribune: www.tribune.com.ng/09112007/news/news14.html ¼/p>
