Believed that higher education can change a person's future for the better. Just get better access to higher education is not cheap. In addition to the entry fee, a good student, students S1, S2 and doctoral inevitably expend considerable cost to buy books and do research.

Scholarships from the university

Usually many universities both at home and abroad that provide scholarships for new students. So, before enrolling at university you're going, it's good to ask if the university provides scholarships for new students.

There are several considerations put forward by the university before accepting you as a participant scholarships. Each university, faculty and department usually has a different requirement. There is a priority to academic achievement with a minimum value limit, there is also a consideration based on economic status scholarship applicants.

But there are also universities that consider granting scholarships for non-academic achievement as extracurricular who you follow. For example, academic achievement you are not so good, but you are reliable in the sport of basketball.

Each year, the regulations regarding grants scholarships from universities usually different. Some Universities offers scholarships since the beginning of college, but some offer scholarships only to students of a particular level. But not infrequently also universities that offer full scholarships (full time) for a specific program or department annually. We recommend that you consult with your academic advisor in order to obtain a clearer explanation of the terms and conditions of the scholarship.

Government scholarship

If the university does not provide scholarships, you can switch on the scholarship program launched by the government, both domestically and abroad. Usually a scholarship from the government more specifically its kind, based on merit or the needs of the recipients.

Many government scholarships are intended for those who are unable, for example, to those living in remote areas, women, students who suffer from physical disabilities, or indeed not well off financially.

Scholarships for master's and doctoral programs was widely shared by the government. It's just that the competition is intense. But once the scholarship is worth a try, because the funds were given often covers all the total tuition until you pass. Consultation with the academic advisor to find out if you are eligible to participate in the scholarship program offered by the government.

Scholarships from private companies

If you just graduated from high school and want to find a scholarship to continue S1, ask the parents whether their employers offer scholarships to children of employees.

So also with you who are already working, ask HR if it is possible to get a scholarship for employees.

Scholarships from foundations

Universities and private companies are not the only sources of scholarships. You can also try some of the charitable foundation and scholarship of the individual. Usually the scholarship is not only true for learning purposes in the country, but also abroad.

As well as government scholarships, scholarships granted by the charitable foundation aimed at those who are less fortunate or specific targets. Sometimes this type of scholarship only certain educational program offers scholarships to students from areas that have not been considered advanced. But, from the charitable foundation scholarships is also not rule out the possibility for those who are active in organizations or active in social work.

Do not hesitate: immediately register!

As well as schools, scholarships sertiap also has its own prestige. Do not hesitate to sign up scholarships that demand little, or only offer education costs are not much. To overcome this problem, list several scholarships at the same time, in order to accumulate sufficient funds for education that all the costs that you need to continue studies.

Do your research, read the terms and conditions of the scholarship clearly before you start to register. Do not get discouraged before trying, because scholarship is not only intended for those who have a perfect academic achievement. Talent and talent can only be a major capital to achieve the dream scholarship. Happy hunting scholarship, Bright Friends!

What A Good Test...?

A colleague asked that question the other day. What is a good test? It is a really difficult question to answer. There are a number of properties that hold true for a good test. I will list some of them and discuss why I think they are important. Others may think that the order of importance is different or that other properties are more important then those that I list.

I will show some examples using Java and JUnit of what I think are bad tests and how they can be refactored to something better.

Tests are automated in my world. I always try to avoid manually testing. The main reason for this is that manual testing is slow and hard to repeat arbitrary many times. Therefore, test should be read as automated test in for the rest of this text.

Different types of tests

Tests come in many different shapes and forms. They have different purposes. Putting them in different categories is difficult and dangerous. A lot of people have opinions on the subject so it is like stepping in a mine field. Never the less, one way to categorise different tests may be this one (as suggested by Alexandru Bolboaca):

• Acceptance
• Integration
• System
• Unit

A good acceptance test is written in the domain language and clearly communicates the intent of a feature or story. The purpose is to have a way to measure when a feature can be considered done. It is formulated and understood by a domain expert rather than a developer struggling with the domain knowledge. It is expected to have a life time that is as long as the life time for product.

An integration test is usually slow. The purpose is to verify the integration between components that makes up the system. One such component could be a database.

A system test is usually very slow and could involve operations in GUI. The purpose is to verify that things that are expected to be possible to do actually is possible to do as a normal user. It could be a Selenium script that exercises the GUI through a browser by adding things to the database and then retrieve them.

A unit test must be blazing fast, running in milliseconds. The purpose is to develop the functionality incrementally and in a testable way. It is only using the core classes of the system and everything is executed in memory. This is where the use of tools like JUnit started and normally the result of test driven development, TDD. Unit tests will only test one thing by following the Single Responsible Principle, SRP.

Dividing test into these classes may differ from your opinion. Please suggest an alternative division if you think there may be a need for it.

One common thing for all categories above is that they follow the three R’s of automated tests:

• Rapid
• Reliable
• Relevant
