Offline generation of executable tests means that a model-based testing tool generates test cases as computer-readable assets that can be later run automatically ; for example, a collection of Python classes that embodies the generated testing logic.

For example, the analysis of the debris at the testing site of the first U. S. hydrogen bomb, Ivy Mike, ( 1 November 1952, Enewetak Atoll ), revealed high concentrations of various actinides including americium ; due to military secrecy, this result was published only in 1956.

In systems engineering it may involve black-box testing performed on a system ( for example: a piece of software, lots of manufactured mechanical parts, or batches of chemical products ) prior to its delivery.

For example, primality testing is the problem of determining whether a given number is prime or not.

For example, consider the problem of primality testing.

So, for example, a list of mis-interpretations of the meaning of p-values accompanies the article on p-values ; controversies are detailed in the article on statistical hypothesis testing.

Schneider proposes that by testing an historian against the criteria of the " objective historian " then, even if an historian holds specific political views ( and she gives an example of a well-qualified historian's testimony that was disregarded by a United States court because he was a member of a feminist group ), providing the historian uses the " objective historian " standards, he or she is a " conscientious historian ".

For example, mammal-eating killer whales were long thought likely to be closely related to other mammal-eating killer whales from different regions, but genetic testing refuted this hypothesis.

For example, an emerging practice in the competitive field of biotechnology is to require the physical results of experiments, such as serums and tissue cultures, be made available to competing laboratories for independent testing.

They have proven easy to spoof in some famous incidents testing commercially available systems, for example, the gummie fingerprint spoof demonstration, and, because these characteristics are unalterable, they cannot be changed if compromised ; this is a highly important consideration in access control as a compromised access token is necessarily insecure.

In the process of testing internationalized top-level domains, ICANN implemented a set of IDN top-level domains that are translations of the name example. test into each language's script.

For example, when testing instructions for assembling a toy, the test subjects should be given the instructions and a box of parts and, rather than being asked to comment on the parts and materials, they are asked to put the toy together.

Third, the principle that effects cannot precede causes can be invoked, by including on the right side of the regression only variables that precede in time the dependent variable ; this principle is invoked, for example, in testing for Granger causality and in its multivariate analog, vector autoregression, both of which control for lagged values of the dependent variable while testing for causal effects of lagged independent variables.

Lower sensitivity meter movements are acceptable for testing in circuits where source impedances are low compared to the meter impedance, for example, power circuits ; these meters are more rugged mechanically.

Ghost towns may also occasionally come into being due to an anticipated natural disaster – for example, the Canadian town of Lemieux, Ontario was abandoned in 1991 after soil testing revealed that the community was built on an unstable bed of Leda clay.

It is used in, for example, parental testing and criminal investigation.

For example, engineering standards are a means by which decentralization of supply inspection and testing can be achieved — a manufacturer adhering to the standard can participate in decentralised systems of bidding, e. g. in a parts market.

One example is the police, who give women and people from other cultural and ethnic backgrounds concessions when it comes to testing for entrance to the police academy.

Tree diagram illustrating drug testing example.

Consider the drug testing example in the article on Bayes ' theorem.

If, for example, a person breaks into a laboratory used for the testing of pharmaceuticals on animals, the question of guilt is determined by the presence of an actus reus, i. e. entry without consent and damage to property, and a mens rea, i. e. intention to enter and cause the damage.

Capillary blood sampling can be used to test for, for example, blood glucose ( such as in blood glucose monitoring ), hemoglobin, pH and lactate ( the two latter can be quantified in fetal scalp blood testing to check the acid base status of a fetus during childbirth ).

For example, an evaluation may require that all source code is kept in a change management system, or that full functional testing is performed.

For example, in astronomy it is clearly impossible, when testing the hypothesis " suns are collapsed clouds of hydrogen ", to start out with a giant cloud of hydrogen, and then perform the experiment of waiting a few billion years for it to form a sun.

Testing products to simulate their behavior in the external environment is a difficult skill, and may involve accelerated life testing for example.

However, the various preconditions for the development at Ford stretched far back into the 19th century, from the gradual realization of the dream of interchangeability, to the concept of reinventing workflow and job descriptions using analytical methods ( the most famous example being scientific management ).

An example of a business workflow process using Business Process Modeling Notation.

While the assembly line remains the most famous example of a workflow from this era, the early thinking around work was far more sophisticated than is commonly understood.

For example, if the above design documents are now available as Autocad but the workflow requires them as Catia, then an automated process would implement the conversion prior to notifying the individual responsible for the next task.

# Insurance claims processing is an example of an information-intensive, document-driven workflow.

# Wikipedia editing is an example of a stochastic workflow.

In small agencies without a dedicated traffic manager, one employee may be responsible for managing workflow, gathering cost estimates and answering the phone, for example.

For example, it is not uncommon to use a computer and image-setter to generate film which is then stripped and used to expose the plate in a vacuum frame ; this workflow is hybrid because separation and halftoning are carried out via digital processes while the exposure of the plate is an analog one.

Consider, for example, a customer service department — where imaging, document management, and workflow could be combined to allow agents to better resolve customer inquiries.

They allow a lay user to pre-define a workflow by stepping through a process that will take place when a specific event happens: for example, if a document moves into a collection, the workflow can move it to another area, perform OCR, and perform steps based on the document ’ s contents.

Wikipedia documents are a typical example of soft security principles, using discussion pages, history, policies and guidelines, in contrast to traditional document control mechanisms using workflow and authorization.

For example, discussions taking place during a business meeting are " online ", while issues that do not concern all participants of the meeting should be " taken offline " — continued outside of the meeting.

One example of a common use of these concepts is a mail user agent that can be instructed to be in either online or offline states.

When online it will attempt to connect to mail servers ( to check for new mail at regular intervals, for example ), and when offline it will not attempt to make any such connection.

A third example of a common use of these concepts is a web browser that can be instructed to be in either online or offline states.

Vegh's concept of organization / mobilization, for example, can refer to activities taking place solely online, solely offline but organized online, or a combination of online and offline.

PCI-X also improves the fault tolerance of PCI, allowing, for example, faulty cards to be reinitialized or taken offline.

For example, in any given month they publish eight novels in their Modern line ; 6 of those are available on the retail market, and all eight are available to buy directly from the company both on and offline.

Version 4 included support for offline browsing, Dynamic HTML, a new faster Java virtual machine and Security Zones that allow users or administrators to limit access to certain types of web content depending on which zone ( for example Intranet or Internet ) the content was coming from.

Another good example of offline persistence is in Metal Gear Solid 3.

For example, abusecentral. org ( offline now ) appeared to be run by phishers who redirect webtraffic elsewhere when people try to enter the phishing website in ways that phisher doesn't want.
