VFX and CGI have been an eternal part of the entertainment industry from the very start. VFX, i.e. visual effects, are the effects applied on live-action footage to create a scene that would have been impossible to capture physically. Thus, using VFX, they are created virtually using computer graphics. On the other hand, CGI, i.e. computer-generated imagery, is an integral part of the VFX. CGI generates 2D or 3D models, illustrations, and digital images – in short, anything created digitally … [Read more...]

Unit testing and integration testing are the test methods used to verify the smooth functioning of the software. As the name suggests, unit testing verifies each software unit, component or module in isolation. However, integration testing takes all the unit-tested components and integrates them to create a software architecture that dictates user-defined design. Let's first begin with what software testing actually is. What is Software Testing? Software testing is an association of … [Read more...]

Assembler and Interpreter, both are system programs that perform language translation. They accept a computer program in one language and convert it to another language. Although they are quite different in their working process. Assembler is a system program that accepts assembly language code and converts it to machine language code. On the other hand, the interpreter accepts the source code in a high-level language and translates it into machine language code. In the case of an assembler, … [Read more...]

The DFD (Data Flow Diagram) and Flowchart are presented in a similar manner which makes it confusing, as both constructed with the similar symbols. Though, there is a big difference between the DFD and Flowchart because the DFD is used to specifies the flow of data in the design of the system while flowchart depicts the flow of control of a system. A flowchart is an elementary approach for structuring an explication of a problem which can be implemented in the various branch of knowledge. DFD … [Read more...]

The differentiation between brain and computer is very useful in the field of cognitive science and artificial intelligence where the human brain is used to model the artificial neural network to create an expert system. The prior difference between the brain and the computer is that the brain can work without data, but computers require a minimum amount of data. A brain is an innovative and creative organ, but the computer cannot create a new thing without any support, it would need some … [Read more...]

Cohesion and coupling are used as the categorisation method to specify the interactions within and between the software components. We know that software could contain thousands of lines of code or even more than that, which could result in an unanticipated increase in the code complexity. To stabilize the code complexity, the concept of modularisation is introduced. The modularization is the method of splitting the software into smaller isolated pieces known as modules. Cohesion is used to … [Read more...]

In the software development, there are four P's crucially used - People, Project, Product and Process. In this article, we will discuss the about the terms, product and process and the difference between them. The main difference between the product and process is that the product is the result of the software project which is constructed by the distinct type of people. On the other hand, the process is used to guide the project in quantitative steps to obtain the appropriate product. Content: … [Read more...]

In 2D and 3D, the "D" specifies the dimensions involved in the shape. So, the primary difference between 2D and 3D shapes is that a 2D shape comprised of two dimensions that are length and width. As against, a 3D shape incorporates three dimensions that are length, width and height. These are very common terms and frequently heard overtimes. We use 2 and 3 dimensions in several areas such as in engineering drawing, computer graphics, animations, and in real life too. In this article, we are … [Read more...]

The test plan and test strategy are the most important part of Test Documentation Management. The major difference between the test plan and test strategy is that the test plan is the outline of the resource, approach, scope and schedule regarding testing activities of the software. Conversely, the test strategy is different in the way that it helps in preparing the high-level description of test levels corresponding to the project, and tests each level one by one. These are the important … [Read more...]

The JPEG and RAW are the image file formats that contain different amount of image information where the JPEG has a limited amount of information about the image. In contrast, RAW file format holds an enormous amount of information regarding an image. The different types of file formats are used to process the different types of files, such as text, image, audio, video, and the content of the file helps in distinguishing the files. Here, we are discussing the bitmapped image format. A … [Read more...]
