Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 Programmer I: Exam 1Z0-808 [DSP2017 #05]

 

Hello and sorry for absence during last weeks. This time was very busy because I had to prepare myself for OCA certification.
In this post I want to write few word about:
  • what I've done
  • how it looks
  • what I will improve next time
 I've read one book from beginning to the end. It was
 I think that it is good book for gain knowledge about base java. There is a lot of examples, very detail description. Form point of exam just reading and making the tests is not enough. The test inside this book are not so easy but they don't cover real exam.
Next books which were only source of mock tests:
The mocks in the first position are very easy and so short. In real exam the examples of code was so longer and requires more concentration.
During the preparation I was receiving score between 65-85% on mock and chapter tests.

Next time (maybe OCP) I will spend more time on coding and practice part. Next I want to begin earlier with mocking test and the source of this will be: http://enthuware.com/

I've prepared about 1.5 month and my score is 72%. It is not so good but I know what I should improve and I'm very glad that I finally took this exam. (I've planed it from 2 or 3 years)

Types of tests [DSP2017 #04]

To be honest only in a last one a testing strategy is on high level.  I encourage you for introduce and put more pressure on testing strategy during a delivery process. As with all new things the beginnings are difficult but I'm sure that it is worth. As almost testers know undermentioned pyramid I need to put it for people who have not seen it. In a big amount of projects we can meet this pyramid in inverted order. What can impact of quality of a system. For example when we have a lot of manual tests it is boring for users and sometimes they can be skipped what can missed bug. So in the lowest level we see the Unit tests and the count of this should be the bigger and on the highest level, there are manual tests. As we can expect the count should of them should be the lowest. A few words about each of them: Unit tests - should be quick and small. They check jus

How to start with Android development [DSP2017 #07]

In this part I want to show how I started with a first app. My previous experience with creating an Android application was about 4-5 years ago. I've created one or two simple applications during my studies and forgot about this topic. Today when I wanted to create a new app I needed to start from beginning. First of all I need to install tools: Android Studio (I use Intellij with Android extension). Android SDK - I used the sdkmanager but during Android Studio installation sdk should be installed. If you have 64 bits system you need to check: Required libraries for 64-bit machines . If you have installed all above tools you should be able to create simple Android project and run it on your phone. Yes, like always I met few problems with run the application on my phone. #1 The adb can not find my device. Solution : turn phone as MTP mode. 2# Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'. > com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:
