| schestowitz | " | Jan 21 22:33 |
| schestowitz | Regression testing is a type of software testing that seeks to uncover new software bugs, or regressions, in existing functional and non-functional areas of a system after changes such as enhancements, patches or configuration changes, have been made to them. | Jan 21 22:33 |
| schestowitz | The intent of regression testing is to ensure that changes such as those mentioned above have not introduced new faults.[1] One of the main reasons for regression testing is to determine whether a change in one part of the software affects other parts of the software.[2] | Jan 21 22:33 |
| schestowitz | Common methods of regression testing include rerunning previously completed tests and checking whether program behavior has changed and whether previously fixed faults have re-emerged. Regression testing can be performed to test a system efficiently by systematically selecting the appropriate minimum set of tests needed to adequately cover a particular change. | Jan 21 22:33 |
| schestowitz | Contrast with non-regression testing (usually validation-test for a new issue), which aims to verify whether, after introducing or updating a given software application, the change has had the intended effect. | Jan 21 22:33 |

| schestowitz | Perhaps our biggest difference lies in what is radical and what isn't. Perhaps Islamic Fundamentalist is a better title, as the "radicals" seem to hold a more literal interpretation of the Koran and Hadiths. | Jan 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz | If only the likes of ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, etc are the dangerous Muslims, the radicals, then surely it is a small number. You could expand that definition to include those who condone the actions of these groups (those celebrating in the streets, rioting, etc), but not carry them out themselves, the number would expand by the millions. If you further expand the definition to include the number to include Muslims who | Jan 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz | would support the imprisonment, torture (lashings), or killing of people who allegedly insult Islam, Muhammed, or become an apostate by leaving Islam for another religion, suddenly, the number of people included in this group that is against freedom of speech and freedom of religion becomes quite a significant percentage of the population of Muslim countries. If you include those who want to see an expansion of Sharia law in other | Jan 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz | countries, well, it isn't an insignificant minority anymore. | Jan 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz | The numbers are hard to get because it is hard to poll the opinions of people in these countries. Gallop gave it a try, and as a politically correct group, put their spin on it. But if you look at the results: | Jan 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz | The authors define Muslim radicals as those who say the 9/11 attack was “completely justified,” which was seven percent of the sample. However, there were two other categories of respondents who said that the attack was at least partially justified, and they are labeled by the authors as “moderates.” The first of those groups comprises 6.5 percent of the sample, the second comprises 23.1 percent. Further, the respondents in | Jan 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz | that last category, making up 23.1 percent, also said that they hate America, want to impose Sharia law, support suicide bombing, and oppose equal rights for women. Yet Esposito and Mogahed call them “moderates.” | Jan 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz | 7 plus 6.5 plus 23.1 equals 36.6 percent of 1.2 billion Muslims, or 439 million radical Muslims in the world. | Jan 24 01:28 |

| schestowitz | Regression testing is a type of software testing that seeks to uncover new software bugs, or regressions, in existing functional and non-functional areas of a system after changes such as enhancements, patches or configuration changes, have been made to them. | Jan 21 22:36 |
| schestowitz | The intent of regression testing is to ensure that changes such as those mentioned above have not introduced new faults.[1] One of the main reasons for regression testing is to determine whether a change in one part of the software affects other parts of the software.[2] | Jan 21 22:36 |
| schestowitz | Common methods of regression testing include rerunning previously completed tests and checking whether program behavior has changed and whether previously fixed faults have re-emerged. Regression testing can be performed to test a system efficiently by systematically selecting the appropriate minimum set of tests needed to adequately cover a particular change. | Jan 21 22:36 |
| schestowitz | Contrast with non-regression testing (usually validation-test for a new issue), which aims to verify whether, after introducing or updating a given software application, the change has had the intended effect. | Jan 21 22:36 |

| schestowitz | Perhaps our biggest difference lies in what is radical and what isn't. Perhaps Islamic Fundamentalist is a better title, as the "radicals" seem to hold a more literal interpretation of the Koran and Hadiths. | Jan 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz | If only the likes of ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, etc are the dangerous Muslims, the radicals, then surely it is a small number. You could expand that definition to include those who condone the actions of these groups (those celebrating in the streets, rioting, etc), but not carry them out themselves, the number would expand by the millions. If you further expand the definition to include the number to include Muslims who | Jan 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz | would support the imprisonment, torture (lashings), or killing of people who allegedly insult Islam, Muhammed, or become an apostate by leaving Islam for another religion, suddenly, the number of people included in this group that is against freedom of speech and freedom of religion becomes quite a significant percentage of the population of Muslim countries. If you include those who want to see an expansion of Sharia law in other | Jan 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz | countries, well, it isn't an insignificant minority anymore. | Jan 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz | The numbers are hard to get because it is hard to poll the opinions of people in these countries. Gallop gave it a try, and as a politically correct group, put their spin on it. But if you look at the results: | Jan 24 01:32 |
| schestowitz | The authors define Muslim radicals as those who say the 9/11 attack was “completely justified,” which was seven percent of the sample. However, there were two other categories of respondents who said that the attack was at least partially justified, and they are labeled by the authors as “moderates.” The first of those groups comprises 6.5 percent of the sample, the second comprises 23.1 percent. Further, the respondents in | Jan 24 01:32 |
| schestowitz | that last category, making up 23.1 percent, also said that they hate America, want to impose Sharia law, support suicide bombing, and oppose equal rights for women. Yet Esposito and Mogahed call them “moderates.” | Jan 24 01:32 |
| schestowitz | 7 plus 6.5 plus 23.1 equals 36.6 percent of 1.2 billion Muslims, or 439 million radical Muslims in the world. | Jan 24 01:32 |
