Test management is a complex and time consuming task. In the U.S. alone, software errors cost the U.S. economy 59.5 billion dollars a year. A robust test management strategy can save you a fortune, poor test management can cost even more.
Test teams gather information from a variety of sources and need to share it between various parties. However, this task is often hindered since testers typically have little time and resources. They need a simple test management system to quickly capture product features, write tests and publish results.
Currently many companies resort to homegrown test management solutions based on generic office products. These systems can be error prone and rely on the test teams discipline to ensure all test information is recorded accurately and analysed fully. Much time is wasted tracking down inconsistencies between documents and collating results into reports. Many companies are now realizing the benefits of using a test management system.
DigitalTester provides an intuitive test management framework with which to capture requirements, write tests and generally organize testing. The project is completely web based and all information is held centrally on the DigitalTester server allowing information to be shared easily.
DigitalTesters reports and charts make it easy for management to judge a products market readiness. DigitalTester encourages structured test management by enabling testers to categorize a products features using a familiar tree structure. This familiar interface allows even new users to become productive in just a short time.

JLicense is a Java utility library for validating and creating license keys. It includes a simple GUI tool for creating the license file and a LicenseManager (which should be embeded inside your Java software) for validating the license.

You can also write your own class, such as a Servlet, to create the license file more dynamically based on user input data.

JLicense is feature based, and you can validate the license based on the features. For example, you can add features like IP address, MAC address, user number etc.

A Tale in the Desert is a massively multiplayer role-playing game set in ancient Egypt.

It uses the internet to allow thousands of players to play together in the same world. All of the characters you will see and talk to in the game are controlled by other people just like you, not by a computer.

A Tale in the Desert is the first online game to focus on long-term planning and long-term goals rather than combat. Goals include the creation of great works of art and architecture, becoming a powerful leader, and building wealth.

Construction:

Objective: To build a base of operations.

Similarities to: Tropico, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Zeus, Capitalism

Explanation: Your base consists of machines that produce goods, ranging from simple objects like bricks and boards to highly customized goods like gearboxes, mixed paints, and cut gems.

The Challenge: Your base must be designed to operate efficiently and must take into account the values of the goods, supply, and demand.

Puzzles: As you unlock new technologies, you will need to figure out how they work and how you can use them to increase your efficiency.

Trading:

Objective: To make a profit trading goods and services with other players.

Similarities to: Master of Orion 2, Port Royale

Challenge 1: A Tale in the Desert contains too many goods for you to produce everything you need. You must trade to obtain the necessities.

Challenge 2: Learning skills is extremely expensive. To recoup the cost, you must figure out how to hire out your skills to other players.

Puzzles: You must figure out what your goods are worth, and what your time is worth. You must decide whether to give things away freely, and hope for generosity in return, or whether to trade on a more controlled, negotiated basis.

The Tests:

Objective: To increase your powers by performing ritual tests of character.

Similarities to: The multiplayer games you see on Reality TV shows.

The Challenge: There are dozens of different tests, each one a unique ritual that increases your powers. They run the gamut from building a pyramid, to breeding and exhibiting a scarab beetle, to winning a dueling tournament, to searching for hidden altars, to winning an election. They only have one thing in common: they all require you to strategize against other players.

Lawmaking:

Objective: To lift Egypt out of anarchy into true civilization.

The Challenge: A civilization must have rules: rules about who gets to own which piece of land, rules about what kind of pollution is permitted, rules about inappropriate behavior, rules about who gets to benefit from your research labors, rules about who owns which vein of ore. Egyptians must choose these rules for themselves.

The Puzzle: Can you do better than the real governments of today? Can you create a truly fair and just society?
