A Survey on Software Testing Techniques using Genetic Algorithm

The overall aim of the software industry is to ensure delivery of high quality software to the end user. To ensure high quality software, it is required to test software. Testing ensures that software meets user specifications and requirements. However, the field of software testing has a number of underlying issues like effective generation of test cases, prioritisation of test cases etc which need to be tackled. These issues demand on effort, time and cost of the testing. Different techniques and methodologies have been proposed for taking care of these issues. Use of evolutionary algorithms for automatic test generation has been an area of interest for many researchers. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is one such form of evolutionary algorithms. In this research paper, we present a survey of GA approach for addressing the various issues encountered during software testing.Comment: 13 Page

India’s manufacturing sector: new policy, no progress

LSE’s Rajeev Sibal argues that India’s new manufacturing policy will fail to spur sectoral growth owing to characteristics of India’s labour force, complex regulation and a lack of political will to address the complex realities of doing business in India

Indian labour market reform: what it means for economic growth and inflation

LSE’s Rajeev Sibal argues that labour market restrictions constitute the largest drag on Indian economic performance

“India needs clarity about President Trump’s policy towards China because there have been a lot of contradictions” – Kanwal Sibal

After the discussion, Rebecca Bowers caught up with Ambassador Kanwal Sibal to discuss India’s foreign policy in more detail, particularly in relation to Trump’s America, West Asia and Britain on the brink of Brexit

Reversing Type 2 Diabetes Through Functional Medicine

Diabetes is one of the biggest global health emergencies of the 21st century. Overall, 425 million people worldwide are estimated to have diabetes, with India being home to the second largest number of people suffering with diabetes. A recent analysis showed that diabetes-related complications are continuously on the rise. These complications affect almost all systems of the body leading to retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, cardiovascular disorders, diabetic foot, depression, anxiety and even eating disorders in diabetes patients, severely affecting the patient’s quality-of-life. Traditional approach towards treating type 2 diabetes does not try to alter the course of diabetes at the prediabetes stage. It works on the symptoms, and as a result, the basic pathology keeps on getting intense and therefore, the number and dose of medicine keeps on increasing every few years. Functional medicine provides a holistic approach towardsmanaging diabetes and reducing the complications associated with it. This review discusses the functional medicine approach, detailing the early diagnosis approach, preventive strategy, regular monitoring of blood glucose parameters and treatment approach of diabetes including diet management, exercise,  functional foods, nutritional supplements and genetic and lifestyle interaction

The Challenges of Firm-Level Adjustment, Productivity, and Workers\u27 Welfare Under Globalization: Case Studies, Insights and Policy Recommendations

Past and present governments focus on reducing poverty by preserving and creating jobs through industry competitiveness within a labor policy that promotes decent work. Among its steps include skills-building and education programs, infrastructure development, and a reduced fiscal deficit. Meanwhile, technology and skills upgrading or the “high road” approach towards increased productivity and competitiveness undertaken by selected Philippine enterprises featured social partnership between employers and workers

Survey and Assessment of Laws on the Informal Sector

This study classifies the laws affecting the informal sector and assesses the extent of the empowerment of the sector based on the provisions in the laws that allow for organization, decision making mechanisms and transfer of power from the traditional center to another. Results indicate that, to some extent, four groups within the sector are accorded empowerment through Philippine laws: the agricultural sector, small and medium enterprises, industrial home workers and cooperatives. These groups are allowed to form organizations and to participate in decision making bodies. Decision making is accorded to certain groups among informal sector, which, in some cases, comprise the majority members in decision making bodies. Nowhere among the laws is a shift of power provided from the traditional or government decision makers to the informal sector. However, certain groups within the IS have participated in the institution of some policies and the realization of programs for their own advantage.informal financial sectors, small and medium enterprises
