As a blog platform WordPress is said to be simple and easy to use. And yet it is also    powerful. The functionality that WordPress offers is complete and yet intuitive so new bloggers find it user-friendly. But what really makes WordPress more complete and powerful are the WordPress plug-ins that are available to its users.

Each WordPress plug-in designates a new functionality for the users to use. Having plug-ins in use extends the functionality that WordPress originally has. It is even increasing since more and more WordPress plug-ins are being developed and being submitted to the site. Aside from those on the WordPress site, there are yet numerous plug-ins being used by many WorPress users.

With the many WordPress plug-ins available, users have to know which ones are useful to them. They have to be aware of what is available to them. There’s nothing to worry though because WordPress users can easily search for a plug-in based on the functionality they need. Many choices would typically be presented for each functionality. So the user again has to filter the results given to him.

For web designers and advanced users who have a WordPress plug-in, submit the plug-in to the site so other WordPress users can take advantage of it. There are also some competitions on WordPress plug-in so developers are encouraged to pour their efforts in designing a new WordPress plug-in.

By matching the right WordPress plug-in with the functionality needed in a blog. WordPress blogs would come out better and more useful.

Software test is the process of determining defects and errors in the application and knowing if the functions of the program are working.  It uses an empirical approach and serves as the investigatory phase of software development.  Software testing is also a standard procedure for every applications development project.  In fact, testing the capabilities and performance of the software is a requirement before it can be commercially distributed.

There are many types of software testing.  Each testing process has its own purpose and utility.  For example, performance testing is carried out to determine if the software can run efficiently if deployed on actual IT environments.  On the other hand, functional testing is used to determine if the individual components of the software is working perfectly.

Other tests include compatibility and conformance testing, unit testing and finally software system testing.  All these tests are implemented in stages.  Normally, at every stage of development, the software will be tested by its developers.  This procedure will ensure that the software can be used by end users without experiencing software glitches and system crashes. 

There are also software tests that target specific issues such as application bug troubleshooting and addressing software security concerns.  Developers are constantly looking for software bugs so that they can create a fix for it before full deployment.  Bugs are the most common software problems that end users experience.  That is why software developers are creating patches, new versions, and updates for their program codes.  In this way, developers will be able to deliver a top caliber computer application to end users.

The Book entitled the, CISSP: Study Guide, is a good book to be read when one is curious about the CISSP. It is also an important book to have as the CISSP is an essential demonstration of a Programmer’s ability in understanding the many and broad information Security issues. It is written by Carl Endorf, who tried to write the book in a way that a Security Professional would speak to another Security Professional. So understanding the contents and word usage of the book will not be a problem. Also, the author is an expert Technical Security Analyst and incident manager for one of the biggest Insurance and Banking companies situated in the United States, so it is expected that his views will more likely be felt and understood by his readers with the same understanding in terms of Information Security. This book is even expected to be a great source of information for any person curious enough to want a better understanding of how organizations, companies and corporations may be secured. It is also very much expected to make the readers understand the so-called Common Body of Knowledge adhered to by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC2) and the rest of the Information Security professionals. Having said the book’s value in terms of its essentiality in the successful passing of the CISSP, having the book does not ultimately lead to passing the Examination. The book can only help as much as it gives off the possible knowledge necessary to prepare for the test. Nor does the book claim to be endorsed or even sponsored by the ISC2. In general, it would greatly be a good thing to have in handy when one gears up for the Examinations.
