	INTERNET ADDRESSING URL URL means, "Uniform Resource Locator", by definition is a pointer to a websites resource and is needed to differentiate websites. It is a string of characters that locates a specific piece of information anywhere on the web. (for example: http://www.wikipedia.org is the URL to Wikipedia) This shows an HTTP Protocol. An URL can also be broken down into parts. *You could add a path component that specifically references the host computer. *You can add a portthat shows where the TCP connection is made on the remote host machine. *You could add a fragment(AKA: reference) that could specify a specific section you are looking for. domains A domain is a location on the internet. It's a particular web server and is the middle part of the address. The domain name tells the location and the type of address. Components of domain names are separated by periods or dots. The three letter extension at the end describes type of domain such Google (www.Google.com), or Government (www.gov.ca) etc. the "Google" and "gov" are the domains. top level Top level domain is the end of a domain. So this is the end of an address. For example .com .org .net. Some top level domain names also include a two letter code extension for the country for ex: .us .mx .uk .ca email Email addresses are a type of electronic mailboxes used to send and receive messages, all addresses follow the same format which is : username@domain (i.e. jdoe@gmail.com). The major difference between addresses and URL's are the absence of the "@" symbol. SOFTWARE QUALITY ASSURANCE TEST Quality is the most sought after word in software development. Development of any software goes through a process (sequence of steps). Quality is the umbrella that covers this entire process. Software Engineers following a quality process and use Quality methodologies in all their tasks. Documentation and record keeping are an integral part of Software Development life cycle that define quality. Quality processes generally aim to generate software that is bug free and confirms to the stated requirements. In all the steps of a SDLC quality checks are exercised. Processes are documented and the Engineers trained in them. The software at the end of each development cycle is tested for confirmance to the quality standards. Test Cases are built according to the reqirement and executed on the software. The failed cases are analyzed and resolved by the developers. The software may then again go for another cycle of testing.
