How can I cope with every increasing/changing number of frameworks? @user16764 - in a case like what you're describing, you should a) down-vote the answer and b) explain why you're down-voting with an optional c) suggestions for improvement. Your edit materially changed the answer which is not an appropriate use of editing. Clarifying edits, Tweaks, and minor additions or subtractions to an answer are good usage; wholesale change is not. |

Is this a Proper “Rule” for Identifying the “Big O” Notation of an Algorithm? @CamelBlues - you are correct, I meant a googol, not the search engine. |

Database Facade to wrap our existing queries? do you mean MFC == MS foundation classes or MVC == Model View Controller? MFC isn't really a framework, afaik, which is part of the challenge I suspect. |

Is this a Proper “Rule” for Identifying the “Big O” Notation of an Algorithm? @JörgWMittag - vartec points it out in his answer below. AFAIK, strict Big-O drops scalar values (constants) in the reduction step since the constants have less and less effect as N goes towards infinity. When N is a google, the additional effect of multiplying by 2 or 3 becomes effectively nil; so it's dropped in order to make the comparison more clear. N vs N or N vs 2N isn't an interesting Big-O comparison whereas N vs N*N is interesting. But I'm NOT an expert on notation, so take my explanation with a healthy degree of skepticism. |

Is this a Proper “Rule” for Identifying the “Big O” Notation of an Algorithm? @vartec - I don't believe JörgWMittag was purposefully trolling. In my recent research, I've noticed a lot of confusion between strict Big-O notation and "common vernacular" which mixes Big-O, Theta, and the other derivatives. I'm not saying that the common usage is correct; just that it happens a lot. |

Is this a Proper “Rule” for Identifying the “Big O” Notation of an Algorithm? @JörgWMittag - I believe that 2N instead of just N is allowed as part of Theta notation, which is a derivative (or subset?) of Big-O notation. en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Data_Structures/… |

Integration testing in en example - confused @user970696 - No; integration testing is not "about sanity and smoke tests". It's about validation of contracts / agreements between objects. It's about making sure all of the widgets of a component are able to harmonize and work together. Loosely speaking: unit tests are sanity / smoke tests. Integration tests verify the units of the component. System test verifies the components of the system. Your back-end and UI are separate systems, which is where your suggestion of systems-integration testing comes into play. |
