This is the reason you should change your password


Change your password :)

Ramya was about to leave office after finishing her work. She got a call from her husband Karthik ,

RAMYA: "Hello, yes Karthi".
KARTHI
K: "Ramya, can you open my gmail and get a print out of the mail from that US consultant I forgot to take it in my office"
RAMYA: "Yes, I can, I need your password"
KARTHI
K: "jeni22091980"
RAMYA: "Ok fine"

She takes the print out and logs out. Some thought struck her mind now.
JENI happens to be his college mate. Hmmm...


She decides not to discuss this with Karthi
k . She simply opens her mail box and changes the password from "mohan143" to "karthikramya" and leaves for home!

QUALCOMM BREW and BREW PEK References


Recently, I've researched into BREW PEK to improve the current test framework of which I'm in charge. As a result, I found quite useful web page references. So I share them.

Here are web page references (exactly pdf) regarding BREW and PEK (Porting Evaluation Kit) in QUALCOMM

Generally speaking, layered architecture as well as its test framework is in the limelight especially in embedded software world.

PEK (Porting Evaluation Kit) is well-designed test framework. If you are trying to devise a test framework for your software platform which is taking away time both of developers and of test engineers, refer to BREW PEK.

※ Since pdf files are linked, it would take much time to load pages. You had better download and see them in Acrobat.

[1] What is BREW?

[4] Writing an Efficient BREW Porting Layer (2006)

Generally, vendors port BREW into their handsets. Namely, they make BREW OEM which is glue between BREW and handset APIs. This slide describes that.
