what is benchmarking?
152324
Benchmarking is the process of determining who sets the standard and what that standard is. It is done to motivate people to improve toward that goal. This articles will help you establish benchmarks and move your organization toward them.

Your PC may not be setup properly to take full advantage of broadband speeds. Modifying your configuration to maximise performance is known as tweaking. For many users, tweaking is a misnomer as it implies subtle improvements. Fixing huge problems is more accurate!

White box testing is testing from the inside--tests that go in and test the actual program structure. \n\nBasis path testing: Very simply, test every statement in the program at least once. You'll note that the testing department at FCC chose test cases that did this; the entire execution tree was covered. \nBasis path testing is MANDATORY--so much so that there are software products written especially to assist in it. \n\n\nProfiling: There are a lot of tools--often included with compilers--which show where the CPU is spending most of its time in a program. Naturally, the busiest parts of the program are the ones you want to test most. \n\nLoop tests: Exercise each DO,WHILE,FOR, and other repeating statements several times. \n\nInput tests: As the old saying goes--garbage in, garbage out. If a procedure recieves the wrong data, it's not going to work. Each procedure should be tested to make certain that the procedure actually received the data you sent to it. This will spot type mismatches, bad pointers, and other such bugs (these are common!)

Are you using a DEMO or evaluation copy?

I/O bottleneck is a generic term used to describe when you have too many processes that require data to be exchanges at the same time.  Most common to see that term used when discussing a computer system...it may have fast cpu with fast memory and motherboard...but slow hard disk...since the computer will be trying to swap data to the hard disk frequently..the disk will not be able to keep up...

When people know that they are going to be evaluated, especially if it could mean a raise, that is an incentive to increase performance. It gives a sense of competition, not just with other employees but with ones self. Something like performance evaluation reminds people of their duties and encourages them to do them efficiently, it also gives a sense of organization to the company itself along with other company implied techniques.

see there are many statistical tools available but till i know no one is for the purpose of checking the workers efficiency towards company.\n\nsee what new world believes with TQM (Total Quality Management) is that there can't be any fault which can be spared. so instead of finding out your company's condition from employees u should work out to make the workers do not commit any error.\n\nsee try to get that in this way\nearlier there were industries which has a control element in it. but due to large costs these are now demolished.\n\nnow the best way is doing best and accepting no error. if this is your aim no error will ever happen and the employees would be also satisfied as they are doing productive work(no errors).\n\nif you are still interested try out survey methods with type of complaint as one column. then use parreto analysis type system to find out the most reoccuring complaint and irradicate it. and so on.

KPI stands for Key Performance Indicator. \n\nThese are a set of metrics that a company will agree on internally and use to benchmark performance over time. For an eCommerce company, KPI's may be # of purchases per month (as high as possible) , # of customer complaints per month (as low as possible), etc.

Sorting. \n- It's a problem that everybody understands.\n- There are quite a few different algorithms from intuitive, but slow to very fast.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

They save duplicating code. That also means that once you get the loop code correct you don't have to test other duplicated copies of it for errors. \n\nIt also makes it easier to structure the program because the details of the loop processing are in one place.\n\nThey shorten the program so that it is easier to scan when bench checking.

Used to set insurance premiums, the probability of getting into accidents based on your car type/age\n\nFor evaluating worker performance, ie you're on time 95% of the time or only 80%\n\nHow can you actually tell when two sets of data are different? Need statistics.\n\n A lot of jobs in stats!!

It's been said that if it takes a user longer that 6 seconds for a web page to load that abandonement will occur at a higher rate than one which loads within 5 seconds and after 10 seconds users frustration jumps even more. You might want to look at studies such as the one on this page.\nhttp://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/1/\n\nA good way to measure performance is using a company like keynote which will give you performance results. After that If you don't like the results you see, you could do many different things depending on what your site does and how it's generated. From local load balancing, to using a content delivery network like Akamai which will not only relieve the load off of your server it will also give you the ability to scale when your site goes through peak usage periods.

Time series can be viewed as having several components added together (either the original time series or a transformation like ln(X) or x^l)\nSay the time series X=T+S+I where T is the trend component; S is the seasonal component and I is the irregular or noise component. There are many methods to decompose time series, like X-11 or X12, ARIMA, GARCH, etc.\nBenchmarking, in this context, means achieving the same result as a given time series.\nPerhaps you are required to beat a seasnolly adjusted benchmark (that is, just T+I, not T+I+S). In annual periods, it won't matter. sin S adds up to zero upon a year period. However,in non annual periods, you avoid over or under estimating active performance by seasonally adjusting
