Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" is a latest version of the Android

A new year, a new version of Android. For 2015, the candy-themed update is all about behind-the-scenes tweaks and a few blockbuster features.

Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" is a latest version of the Android mobile operating system. First unveiled in May 2015 at Google I/O under the codename "Android 'M'", it was officially released in October 2015. Google focused on a few big new features, like Now on Tap, and smaller changes for better battery life and performance. The operating system uses the same colorful Material design theme introduced with Android 5.0 Lollipop last year. A new feature has come with Marshmallow i.e. "Android PAY". Much like Apple Pay, Android Pay allows users to store credit and debit card information on their smart phones, and then wirelessly pay for goods and services quickly and securely. To make it more secure, Android Pay uses a virtual account number instead of your own, and also keeps a detailed history of purchases made using the app.



Marshmallow’s killer features: 


> Now on Tap

> USB Type-C

> Android Pay

> System UI Tuner

> Improved Copy and Pasting

> Personalized lock screen message

> Storage is easier to manage

> Smoother app experience
> Fingerprint scanners

> New app drawer

> Doze

Advancement in Technology over C++ (Java)

Object-oriented programming, for one, was an accepted but seldom practiced paradigm, with much of what passed as so-called object-oriented programs being little more than rebranded C code that used >> instead of printf and class instead of struct. The programs we wrote those days routinely dumped core due to pointer arithmetic errors or ran out of memory due to leaks. Source code could barely be ported between different versions of Unix. Running the same binary on different processors and operating systems was crazy talk.

Java changed all that. While platform-dependent, manually allocated, procedural C code will continue to be with us for the next 20 years at least, Java proved this was a choice, not a requirement. For the first time, we began writing real production code in a cross-platform, garbage-collected, object-oriented language; and we liked it…millions of us. Languages that have come after Java, most notably C#, have had to clear the new higher bar for developer productivity that Java established.

Java did not (and still does not) have structs, unions, typedefs, and header files. An object-oriented language not shackled by a requirement to run legacy code didn’t need them.

The oracle implementation is divided into two parts:

1. JRE( JAVA Runtime Environment): contains all the parts of Java SE platform that are required to run java programs.

2. JDK( Java Development Toolkit): contains all the development tools like compiler, debugger, etc.

Java SE contains all the basic concepts of Java( Core Java) like swings, threads, applets. One can develop gaming applications, desktop applications using these. Java EE contains the advanced frameworks like JSP, Servlet, Hibernate, Struts, Springs, etc.

Reasons Why Manual Testing is Better?

Manual testing is done by the Tester/QA using his skills and without using automation testing tools. As Manual testing has some disadvantages also. Manual testing is popular because of its powerful advantages. Since in manual testing there is no programming. Manual testing is done using skills of the tester and it requires no investment in tools.

Why manual testing is the better option?

1. Usability testing
2. UI testing focusing on look and feel
3. Localization testing.
4. Documentation testing
5. Knowledge transfer to new team member
6. Dynamic requirements

Manual testing is better than automated testing because when automating a test one has to manually perform a test. Sometimes automated tests stops working expected pop-up dialog and they can be analysed during when manually testing. It helps in finding bugs which cant be found by an automated test.
