Full Production Services in Romania

Full Production Services in Romania

There are a number of reasons why Romania makes a great filming destination chosen by an ever increasing number of directors and production companies around the world. Conveniently bridging Europe and Asia, Romania’s main advantage as a shooting location is its Return On Investment ratio. Moreover, what gives Sirbu Production its competitive edge is us having gained a reputation for reflecting that ROI also in terms of quality of our services, time yield and not cutting corners when it comes to the peace of mind and comfort of our guests.

Besides being a reliable production partner, our family-orientated culture, stress-free etiquette and multilingual abilities often take our foreign clients by surprise and help us forge strong relationships that ultimately lead to them returning to Romania or recommending us to their colleagues. As regards assets, Romania boasts incredible landscapes and architecture; a diverse casting pool; all the standard camera and lighting equipment fit for TV and film production; qualified crew members; favorable tax incentives; lax rules and regulations in terms of work permits, visas and permits; yet reliable health and safety policies. With diligent management, Sirbu Production can guarantee all of the above are taken advantage of to meet and, where possible, exceed the needs of our clients.

Location scouting

Thanks to its diverse topography, Romania makes a versatile location to shoot in, offering favorable weather conditions and stunning landscapes, be it golden sandy beaches, breathtaking mountain tops, exceptional waterfalls or imposing volcanos. Its tumultuous royal past and cultural diversity have granted us with hundreds of medieval castles and fortresses, historic sights and spectacular architecture. A testimony to the latter is Bucharest being nicknamed Little Paris, thanks to the astounding architectural similarities between the two capitals. Moreover, magnificent constructions can be found throughout Romania, as well as secret gems we discovered on our prospection trips.

Our Services

The hardest trick in the book is to convey a message without saying a word. Our directors are masters of cinematography, rendering some of the most intense moods through skillful cinematic imagery. They know how to get from A to B effectively and tastefully only through what seems like a strategically suggestive sequence of exquisite photographs. It is for this very reason that our directors get commissioned for briefs that require a more elegant angle.

Line Production

Sharp minded and meticulous by nature, we can take care of all the below-the-line aspects of production and have everything at the ready for our guest directors, crews and agency representatives to carry out the filming flawlessly. Usually, we get briefed on a new project, start dissecting the requirements list, coordinate as efficiently as possible with the creative team, prepare everything for the shoot, welcome our guests and ensure the production is followed through exactly as planned.

Set/Prop design

Need to feel like you’re on a tropical island? Or in a fairy tale forest? Or, perhaps, on Mars? We can make it happen. Our network of set and prop designers like a challenge and are able to cater to our clients’ needs within record timeframes.

Casting & Background talent

We collaborate with a number of casting agencies, which makes our talent database capable of handling demanding casting requirements. These include diverse character types, flexible extras, highly skilled lead actors/actresses, as well as reliable stunt performers.

Local crew

We are proud to say that our team is made up of some of the very best production professionals in the country, both great at their jobs and with a refined work ethic. Our strong relationships within the industry allow us to fill in any extra capacity requirements for large scale projects.

Wardrobes are coordinated well in advance of the shoot, to ensure the styling is congruent with the colour palette, the concept and the message that needs to come across.

Hair & Make Up

Besides their natural flair and artistic acumen to achieve the required looks, our hair and make up team work at a fast pace and keep careful track of the call sheet.

Facilities’ booking

Romania excels at offering a diverse range of filming facilities, unrivalled amongst most countries in Europe. There is a reason why big budget films choose Romania as their primary shooting location. Dozens of soundstages, the largest water tanks in Continental Europe, acres of backlot, studios and all the other facilities needed for film and commercial production. Having spent so many years in the industry, we know these facilities like the back of our hands and can get the best deals for our clients.

Obtaining permits for whichever location we needed has never been an issue for us, with our designated legal team taking care of any fathomable legal formality.

Peace of mind is ubiquitous in our work culture. For that reason, we have reliable insurance policies in place for an added layer of security.

We have partnered with some of the best hotel chains in the world, which enables us to offer our delegations the best possible accommodation because we understand how important it is to have a good night’s sleep and be able to disconnect after a long day of filming.

Grumbling stomachs make people distracted and unproductive, which does not benefit anyone. To make our sets as welcoming and efficient as possible, we have catering teams scheduled for fixed food breaks on set.

The moment our guests arrive at the airport, they are met by personal drivers that assist them throughout the entire trip.

Budgeting & Scheduling

At Sirbu Production, we do not believe in overtime. Our call sheets are precise and we have a special affinity with numbers. Probably the most crucial aspect of all, we tend to discuss budgeting and scheduling at the very beginning of our collaborations.

A Hawk Perspective

“Living in McShain Residence was a great experience. I was fortunate to be surrounded with countless individuals who am I proud to say have become some of my best friends here at SJU. The traditional style living suited me very well; I consistently left my door unlocked and open for the others on my floor to come in and chat. It also made the transition into college not only smooth, but enjoyable.” - Matt

shrimp grading

Recommended Posts

I have been through the forum for the information, there are many charts and comparison, but how do you tell the differences between a high grade and low grade, I would be helpful if someone can point me to the right direction.

I require information on how to tell from high grade and low grade for king kong, wine red, CRS and galaxy pinto.

      Glad we can be of some help and I agree you are doing the best thing by thinking it out thoroughly before you get started. It is very frustrating when you spend a lot of money on a small setup to then have to go and do the same again for another setup because it isn't big enough, way more economical and cost effective to get it right first time, though as you say you are starting with some of the stuff! I'm also sure that when I closed down the small one and moved the shrimps to the new tank that I probably lost half of the shrimplets as they were too small/young to be moved in reality but I really didn't want to have to run 2 tanks for a few months whilst I waited for them to grow - I had way too many anyway. I can't be much help regarding the 'chiller' as we don't have hot enough weather here, in fact even the humans don't get that over here (except in expensive cars)? A lot may depend where you are placing the setup as well, mine is in a dark corner that doesn't get any direct sun. If it isn't likely to get too hot there for a while you can of course come back to that as a separate issue as it won't mean disrupting anything in the tank anyway should you decide to get one later!  You are probably best steering away from the CO2 as it is one less thing to set up and, as you, I have read a lot of reports saying it isn't good with caridina shrimp setups, though I have no actual experience with it, but why risk it. Hope you will keep us informed/updated. Simon

      I agree with you both and you have changed my mind. I will go for mix of cardinia shrimp. Definately will be lot more interesting in terms of colours and patterns.   I do already have most of the stuff. The only thing that I do not is the Chiller and even though I do have the KegKing Co2 setup, I will stay away from it because its a cardinia setup. Will research a bit further into the chiller this, as I do not want to buy one for a small tank and realise that I need to invest on a bigger one down the line. Thank you guys for the input. Really appreciate the insight. P.S: Great pics Simon. That has certainly swayed me towards a mixed setup.

      I started out with a 30cm tank, and it's my only shrimp tank, started of about November with Neo's and added a few Taiwan bee's, king kong, wine reds, pinto's and blue Bolts around feburary, my Neo's have multiplied, but given many away, and finally giving most away, leaving only cardinia, my water seems ok, since many of my cardinia are still here, and my Taiwan bee have berries, shrimplets should come any time. I think you should be prepared to spend money, for me I have a HOF, CO2, water cooler and the right light, i'm intend to change the current substrate from ADA to the PB, but have to wait for the Taiwan bee to have shrimplets.
    • sdlTBfanUK
      Having multiple tanks and a tank rack may be where you want to go eventually but that is probably for the future? If you want to test out the cardina you may want to go the route I did in that having a mix of shrimps colour and pattern in one tank is certainly more interesting to look at than 10 tanks with single/pattern, and I keep getting new ones that I didn't have before, even the boss should like them!!!!! It is obviously a lot cheaper and takes up a lot less time and space as well. I got the 35L dennerle scapers tank (used 3L of substrate) and it is 40cm x 32cm x 28cm and it has 28L of water (my measuring jug is a cheap one so maybe inaccurate, but the tank isn't filled to the brim and stuff in the tank takes up some space). It would give you an extra 10cm x 32cm (plus 2cm x 30cm) which to shrimps is quite a lot, not that I am saying you should necessarily get this tank but just as an example of how less height (which isn't needed for shrimps) in a tank can make a lot of difference to the floor area of a 'similar' capacity tank, but you may think it is too much money for such a small increase, but obviously there is a whole range of other tank choices out there.I assume you would use the heater/light/filter etc from the old tank if you weren't going too much larger? And, of coarse, you can just stick with the tank you have and that should still work out fine for a starter/tester tank? If you want to see the mix then just click on gallery/New images and scroll down. You should show the boss and I a sure it will swing it in your favour! I don't think you should have any problems with caridina if you are sticking with remineralised RO water and proper shrimp products from the very start. It took me years to get to where I am now but I think ALL the problems I had were because I was trying to use 'tapwater', as soon as I started with RO remineralised no problems whatsoever. Any other specifics/question feel free to ask away. Simon
    • joemjd9
      Thank you very much Simon. I have certainly thought about the idea of secondary tanks. But i wanted to test out the Cardinia waters first. If they do capture my interest, I plan to seek my boss (aka wife) to approve the shrimp tank rack idea *fingers crossed* I have been going through this forum and the Shrimpspot forum to gain as much knowledge as I can to get a good start. Thank you again for your message. Every little bit helps.

Repository for the projects of Michael McVey, filmmaker.

Posts tagged “coffy

By Michael McVey,

DVD Verdict’s “Objection” podcast created a list of their MOST BADASS AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHARACTERS IN MOVIE HISTORY for MLK day, 2011 (episode #756).  Judge David Johnson and Judge Dan Mancini named their TOP 1o:

Honorable Mention: Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian – Star Wars Episodes 5-6
10.  Reginald VelJohnson as Sgt. Al Powell – Die Hard
9.  Richard Roundtree as John Shaft – Shaft
8.  Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu – Star Wars Episodes 1-3
7.  Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox – Batman Begins and The Dark Knight
6. Grace Jones as May Day – A View to a Kill
5. Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed – Rocky 1-4
4. Wesley Snipes as John Cutter – Passanger 57
3. Michael Jai White as Black Dynamite – Black Dynamite.
2.  Mr. T as B. A. Baracus – The A-Team
1.  Danny Glover as Lt. Mike Harrigan – Predator 2

The gentleman at “Objection” specialize in contrarian a-holery, and offer deliberately restive and hilarious positions on cinematic topics.  A fine list, full of both mighty (HARRIGAN!) and unusual (Lucius Fox) choices.  Conspicuously absent from the list is THE most BADASS African-American Character in Movie History:  Samuel L. Jackson as Jules in “Pulp Fiction”. The role is so iconic, so utterly badass, that the Marine Corp plays his “Ezekiel” speech to fire up Jarheads for deployment.

I personally feel as THE single most BADASS African-American Actor in Movie History, Samuel L. Jackson should be exempt from the list altogether.  He’s a given.  Like the answer to “who is the greatest basketball player of all time,” there’s just no arguing.

I hereby offer an addendum to the original “Objection” list, taken from my collection.

I am not reusing any of the aforementioned actors, no matter how much I want to.  For instance, Carl Weathers is an incredible bad ass in “Action Jackson” (where he jumps 20 feet over a speeding car), but as he was listed by “Objection” for “Rocky”, so I won’t include it.

I am only listing actors once.  While Bill Duke was badass in “Commando” and “Pam Grier” is badass in everything, I included only my favorite choice.

I’ve only included movies I’ve seen in full, within the past 10 years (sorry Mario Van Peebles, sorry Billy Blanks).  I also don’t include non-human characters (Sorry Michael Dorn)… though formerly human is okay.  So please feel free to include your own suggestions in the comments section.  And now, without further ado…

Bill Duke as Mac – Predator
Turns jungle into parking lot with mini-gun.   Kills boar with knife.  Badass.

Ken Foree as Peter – Dawn of the Dead
Blows away loads of zombies, evil zombie kids.  Owns the mall.  Does his best buddy a solid.  Zombie apocalypse survivor.  Badass.

Woody Strode as Draba – Spartacus
Kicks the ass of the future slave rebellion leader.  Shows him mercy.   Defies class system through ultimate sacrifice, igniting spark in future slave rebellion leader.  Ripped as hell.  Badass.

Tina Turner as Aunty Entity – Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome
Redesigns future legal system to include chainsaws for civil disputes.  Badass.

Denzel Washington and the entire cast of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteers – Glory
Charge on Fort Wagner – ’nuff said.  Badasses, one and all.

Fred Williamson, Jim Kelly, Jim Brown – Three the Hard Way

This hat trick defies description.  Badassery abounds.

Eugene Clark as Big Daddy – Land of the Dead
Is technically dead with rotting brain, yet still figures out how to use machine gun. Leads revolution, destabilizes class system.  Badass.

Pam Grier as Coffy – Coffy
Destroys mob, drug pushers, corruption.  Blows drug dealer’s head off with shotgun:  “This is the end of your rotten life, you: motherf#%kin’ dope pusher!”  Badass.

Julius Carry as Sho’nuff – The Last Dragon

Money 101: Mutual Funds

Retirement & Investing
on May 16, 2013
Even experienced investors can become bewildered when evaluating and deciding which mutual funds are appropriate. Fortunately, a little bit of knowledge goes a long way toward enabling an investor to narrow the multitude of options. Mutual funds offer an excellent alternative to buying and selling individual stocks and bonds. An individual with even a small amount to invest can hold a diversified portfolio by purchasing shares of mutual funds. This diversification enables individuals to minimize investment risk.There are many types of mutual funds all with differing investment objectives. An investor’s tolerance to market risk and his or her investment horizon will help determine which funds are appropriate. For individuals who would lose sleep over volatile swings in the value of their portfolio, a conservative income fund may be appropriate.

Income funds often contain more bonds than stocks and seek to preserve the capital investment while paying dividend and interest income. The corpus of the fund will remain somewhat stable during market declines and increases. However, bond values can be interest-rate sensitive and inversely relate to changes in interest rates. For those who can tolerate more volatility, a balanced fund is slightly less conservative than an income fund. These funds, which also invest in stocks and bonds, provide income while seeking some growth of capital.

The investment risk associated with stock, or equity, funds varies from moderate to aggressive. For investors with a long time horizon, some investment in aggressive growth funds may be suitable. The value of a growth fund will swing dramatically with changes in the market. Income is not a priority, and these funds are not apt even for younger investors who have a low tolerance for risk.

There are also funds that invest in narrow sectors of the economy as well as funds that invest in securities of other countries. Examples of sector funds include those that invest solely in healthcare, utilities and precious metals. These funds are obviously not diversified and are subject to risks associated with the sector. When investing in international stocks, an investor is exposed not only to market and political risk but also to exchange-rate risk. Nonetheless, depending on one’s individual situation, a percentage holding in sector and international stock funds may be advantageous.A novice investor should also be aware of the tax ramifications of investing in mutual funds that are not contained in a tax-favored, retirement account. If the fund manager frequently sells securities, the turnover ratio will be higher than that of funds holding securities for longer periods. Whenever securities are sold, an investor will realize capital gains and losses. Capital gains have historically been taxed at a preferred rate, and taxpayers may deduct up to $3,000 per year of capital losses. Any remaining loss may be deducted in future years. Dividend and interest income are also taxable. One way to avoid state tax is to purchase shares of municipal bond funds. Income from these funds may also be exempt from federal taxation.

A fund’s prospectus provides information about investment objectives and security holdings. Always read the prospectus when evaluating a fund. Pay attention to the turnover and expense ratios as well as the risk and nature of the holdings.

Mini Rosemary Mint

Standard Formula (with baking soda)

$ 4.49

Now with 50% more product! Could these minis be any cuter? It's a perfect size for tucking into a purse, carry-on, or gym bag. You can leave it at work for your "emergency stick". Or maybe you're not ready to commit to a full-size SmartyPits® want to try a smaller size first? It's OK—we've got you!

Arrowroot Powder, Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda), Beeswax, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Fractionated Coconut Oil), Hydrogenated Avocado Oil (Avocado Butter), Coconut Oil, Rosemary Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil, Spearmint Essential Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Inulin*.

* Plant-based prebiotic.

Our Three Level Approach
Your sweat is naturally odorless. But odor causing bacteria living on your skin thrives on that sweat and metabolizes it, leading to smelly underarms.

By studying the biological causes of body odor, we've developed a formulation that attacks the root cause on three levels:
  • A blend of vegetable based powders and oils help to absorb & wick away wetness, separating it from your skin with a moisturizing barrier
  • Mineral ingredients like magnesium neutralize the environment where the odor-causing bacteria thrives
  • Prebiotics (plant-based food for good bacteria) contribute to the biodiversity & strength of your skin microbiome
The result is all-day odor control with just one application.

But skin care isn't one-size-fits-all. Each of our bodies is the product of subtle differences in our genetic makeup, environment, diet, state of health, level of activity, and stage of life.

For some people, the baking soda in our standard formula is the perfect option for controlling odor. For others with baking soda sensitivities (and generally sensitive skin), our sensitive skin formula deodorant is just as effective but gentler on the skin. And for people who prefer a super smooth feel, we have a seasonal deodorant cream, available in the cooler months.
Happiness Guarantee

We want you to be happy with your purchase – after all, you've entrusted us with your money and your skin!

If for any reason you're not completely happy with the efficacy of your deodorant within 30 days of purchase, contact us at We'll work with you towards a solution that we guarantee will leave you happy with your SmartyPits experience or we'll refund your purchase.

**Note: While our happiness guarantee applies to how well SmartyPits works for you, we aren't able to refund or exchange due to scent preference.

Solo Sn2 Free-mo Setups

I’m hoping to display some of my Sn2 Free-mo modules at the 2019 NASG convention.  It would be nice to use the same “U” shape I’ve used at the Midwest Show, but that may not workout.  So I’m putting together a number of setups for the event coordinators to consider and thought it would be fun to share with all of my followers.

Free-mo modules have an advantage, they can be operated from both sides, so can be flipped around.  Most of the setups presented here use all of my modules.  I can remove some of the modules to make a smaller setup.  However, to be clear some of these modules are two sections with unique track locations and scenery across the joints.  A setup must use both sections or neither section in such cases.

I like to operate the setup, so prefer to include Bigelow (complicated module) with it’s turntable (turntable is not visible in diagram) and the full train length turntable module.  This let’s me run point to point with Bigelow being operated as a terminal section.

One last note, is that I have a 9″ long clamp on track for the end of Bigelow, so that locomotives can complete runaround moves.  For this reason, some of the dimensions quoted below may be slightly larger than they appear.

Here is the 10×20′ setup used at the Midwest Show. This is easy on my as I can sit in the middle while viewers go around the outside. Viewers can come inside too for photos or even to run a train if  interested. For that matter, I some times operate from the outside just to enjoy a different point of view.

17×25′ “L” shaped setup using all of the modules.

This 17×21′ setup does not does not include Mapplewood flag stop.

This 15×16′ “L” Shape is does not include the scenic Salmon Hole bridge module. It could be reduced to 15×12′ by removing the Mapplewood module.

Here is a 14×25′ “L” shape. It could be pushed all the way into a corner and against the walls. As free-mo, I can operate it from inside the “L” or outside. The reverse curve is provides the opportunity to see trains run through a reverse curve.  I could sit on a stool in the curves and work trains along the line.

This is the same setup as above, but slightly angled, adding interest into the overall space (I must confess the angle might be a too much, as the full train length turntable requires the center of the TT to be 2.5′ from a wall.

This 5×34′ linear setup provides for two S-curves. As I’ve drawing this, the setup implies that the viewers would be at top, so that they can walk into the curve. Another option is for them to stand at the bottom. In such case, layout would only be 2-3 feet wide with exception of the bulge for the curves.

These are just some of the setups that I can make with my modules.  Many more combinations can be created by removing  modules or changing what modules are next to each other.

What Happens To Your Social Media Accounts When You Die?
What Happens To Your Social Media Accounts When You Die?
What Happens To Your Social Media Accounts When You Die?

Ah, a new year, a new opportunity to think about your inevitable demise. Or is that just me? At some point, most of us have thought about what will happen to us after we die. However, something we may not have considered is what happens to our digital selves after we die.

In this day and age, we all leave some sort of legacy on the Internet. From social media profiles to blog posts, a biography of our lives is ingrained on the Internet. Does that presence ever go away?

In terms of your social media accounts, the answer depends on the platform. While some social networking sites have integrated ways of handling accounts of the deceased, others haven’t addressed the issue at all. These discrepancies are pretty concerning, especially if your social accounts are linked with your financial accounts or other personal information.

Many suggest making a digital estate plan, which is essentially a will for your online presence. However, you can take steps to protect your social accounts right this second. Here’s how you can do so on each of the major social networking platforms:

Facebook is the most advanced of its peers when it comes to handling profiles of the deceased. The platform offers users the option to elect whether they’d like their account to be memorialized or permanently deleted from Facebook when they die. Memorialized accounts are essentially digital shrines, a place for your Facebook friends to gather and share memories after you have passed. The word “Remembering” is shown next to your name on the profile. All your content stays on Facebook and is visible to the audience you originally shared it with.

You can also set a legacy contact, i.e. someone that can manage your account after you pass away. They’ll have the ability pin a post on your Timeline, respond to new friend requests, and update your profile picture. They won’t be able to post as you or see your messages, so your secrets won’t be exposed.

Instagram’s privacy policy on accounts of the deceased is similar to that of its parent company, Facebook. Accounts can be memorialized or removed, but there’s no way for you to choose one of these options before you die. That decision is up to the person who reports your death to Instagram.

Twitter doesn’t have any built-in way of addressing the death of a user, but its policy does allow verified family member and estate executors to work with Twitter to deactivate the account in question. Twitter will also remove imagery of deceased individuals in certain circumstances upon the request of authorized individuals.

YouTube offers a way for users to decide the future of their accounts before they die through its parent company, Google. The Inactive Account Manager lets you choose a trusted contact who will be given access to your data when your account has been inactive for a certain period of time.

If you don’t have this feature in place, authorized individuals can request information from your account or permanently close it.

Regardless of which platform you’re on or which option you choose, they all rely on someone notifying the social platform that you have passed away. So it’s a smart idea to designate that responsibility to someone close to you, before it’s actually needed.

7.1: What Is Cognition?

  • Skills to Develop

    • Describe cognition
    • Distinguish concepts and prototypes
    • Explain the difference between natural and artificial concepts

    Imagine all of your thoughts as if they were physical entities, swirling rapidly inside your mind. How is it possible that the brain is able to move from one thought to the next in an organized, orderly fashion? The brain is endlessly perceiving, processing, planning, organizing, and remembering—it is always active. Yet, you don’t notice most of your brain’s activity as you move throughout your daily routine. This is only one facet of the complex processes involved in cognition. Simply put, cognition is thinking, and it encompasses the processes associated with perception, knowledge, problem solving, judgment, language, and memory. Scientists who study cognition are searching for ways to understand how we integrate, organize, and utilize our conscious cognitive experiences without being aware of all of the unconscious work that our brains are doing (for example, Kahneman, 2011).

    Upon waking each morning, you begin thinking—contemplating the tasks that you must complete that day. In what order should you run your errands? Should you go to the bank, the cleaners, or the grocery store first? Can you get these things done before you head to class or will they need to wait until school is done? These thoughts are one example of cognition at work. Exceptionally complex, cognition is an essential feature of human consciousness, yet not all aspects of cognition are consciously experienced.

    Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem solving, in addition to other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychologists strive to determine and measure different types of intelligence, why some people are better at problem solving than others, and how emotional intelligence affects success in the workplace, among countless other topics. They also sometimes focus on how we organize thoughts and information gathered from our environments into meaningful categories of thought, which will be discussed later.

    Concepts and Prototypes

    The human nervous system is capable of handling endless streams of information. The senses serve as the interface between the mind and the external environment, receiving stimuli and translating it into nervous impulses that are transmitted to the brain. The brain then processes this information and uses the relevant pieces to create thoughts, which can then be expressed through language or stored in memory for future use. To make this process more complex, the brain does not gather information from external environments only. When thoughts are formed, the brain also pulls information from emotions and memories (See figure below). Emotion and memory are powerful influences on both our thoughts and behaviors.

    fig 7.1.1.png

    Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): Sensations and information are received by our brains, filtered through emotions and memories, and processed to become thoughts.

    In order to organize this staggering amount of information, the brain has developed a file cabinet of sorts in the mind. The different files stored in the file cabinet are called concepts. Concepts are categories or groupings of linguistic information, images, ideas, or memories, such as life experiences. Concepts are, in many ways, big ideas that are generated by observing details, and categorizing and combining these details into cognitive structures. You use concepts to see the relationships among the different elements of your experiences and to keep the information in your mind organized and accessible.

    Concepts are informed by our semantic memory (you learned about this concept when you studied memory) and are present in every aspect of our lives; however, one of the easiest places to notice concepts is inside a classroom, where they are discussed explicitly. When you study United States history, for example, you learn about more than just individual events that have happened in America’s past. You absorb a large quantity of information by listening to and participating in discussions, examining maps, and reading first-hand accounts of people’s lives. Your brain analyzes these details and develops an overall understanding of American history. In the process, your brain gathers details that inform and refine your understanding of related concepts like democracy, power, and freedom.

    Concepts can be complex and abstract, like justice, or more concrete, like types of birds. In psychology, for example, Piaget’s stages of development are abstract concepts. Some concepts, like tolerance, are agreed upon by many people, because they have been used in various ways over many years. Other concepts, like the characteristics of your ideal friend or your family’s birthday traditions, are personal and individualized. In this way, concepts touch every aspect of our lives, from our many daily routines to the guiding principles behind the way governments function.

    Another technique used by your brain to organize information is the identification of prototypes for the concepts you have developed. A prototype is the best example or representation of a concept. For example, for the category of civil disobedience, your prototype could be Rosa Parks. Her peaceful resistance to segregation on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, is a recognizable example of civil disobedience. Or your prototype could be Mohandas Gandhi, sometimes called Mahatma Gandhi (“Mahatma” is an honorific title).

    fig 7.1.2.png

    Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\): In 1930, Mohandas Gandhi led a group in peaceful protest against a British tax on salt in India.

    Mohandas Gandhi served as a nonviolent force for independence for India while simultaneously demanding that Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, and Christian leaders—both Indian and British—collaborate peacefully. Although he was not always successful in preventing violence around him, his life provides a steadfast example of the civil disobedience prototype (Constitutional Rights Foundation, 2013). Just as concepts can be abstract or concrete, we can make a distinction between concepts that are functions of our direct experience with the world and those that are more artificial in nature.

    Natural and Artificial Concepts

    In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories, natural and artificial. Natural concepts are created “naturally” through your experiences and can be developed from either direct or indirect experiences. For example, if you live in Essex Junction, Vermont, you have probably had a lot of direct experience with snow. You’ve watched it fall from the sky, you’ve seen lightly falling snow that barely covers the windshield of your car, and you’ve shoveled out \(18\) inches of fluffy white snow as you’ve thought, “This is perfect for skiing.” You’ve thrown snowballs at your best friend and gone sledding down the steepest hill in town. In short, you know snow. You know what it looks like, smells like, tastes like, and feels like. If, however, you’ve lived your whole life on the island of Saint Vincent in the Caribbean, you may never have actually seen snow, much less tasted, smelled, or touched it. You know snow from the indirect experience of seeing pictures of falling snow—or from watching films that feature snow as part of the setting. Either way, snow is a natural concept because you can construct an understanding of it through direct observations or experiences of snow.

    fig 7.1.3.png

    Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\): (a) Our concept of snow is an example of a natural concept—one that we understand through direct observation and experience. (b) In contrast, artificial concepts are ones that we know by a specific set of characteristics that they always exhibit, such as what defines different basic shapes. (credit a: modification of work by Maarten Takens; credit b: modification of work by “Shayan (USA)”/Flickr)

    An artificial concept, on the other hand, is a concept that is defined by a specific set of characteristics. Various properties of geometric shapes, like squares and triangles, serve as useful examples of artificial concepts. A triangle always has three angles and three sides. A square always has four equal sides and four right angles. Mathematical formulas, like the equation for area (length × width) are artificial concepts defined by specific sets of characteristics that are always the same. Artificial concepts can enhance the understanding of a topic by building on one another. For example, before learning the concept of “area of a square” (and the formula to find it), you must understand what a square is. Once the concept of “area of a square” is understood, an understanding of area for other geometric shapes can be built upon the original understanding of area. The use of artificial concepts to define an idea is crucial to communicating with others and engaging in complex thought. According to Goldstone and Kersten (2003), concepts act as building blocks and can be connected in countless combinations to create complex thoughts.

    A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

    There are several types of schemata. A role schema makes assumptions about how individuals in certain roles will behave (Callero, 1994). For example, imagine you meet someone who introduces himself as a firefighter. When this happens, your brain automatically activates the “firefighter schema” and begins making assumptions that this person is brave, selfless, and community-oriented. Despite not knowing this person, already you have unknowingly made judgments about him. Schemata also help you fill in gaps in the information you receive from the world around you. While schemata allow for more efficient information processing, there can be problems with schemata, regardless of whether they are accurate: Perhaps this particular firefighter is not brave, he just works as a firefighter to pay the bills while studying to become a children’s librarian.

    An event schema, also known as a cognitive script, is a set of behaviors that can feel like a routine. Think about what you do when you walk into an elevator (See figure \(\PageIndex{4}\) below). First, the doors open and you wait to let exiting passengers leave the elevator car. Then, you step into the elevator and turn around to face the doors, looking for the correct button to push. You never face the back of the elevator, do you? And when you’re riding in a crowded elevator and you can’t face the front, it feels uncomfortable, doesn’t it? Interestingly, event schemata can vary widely among different cultures and countries. For example, while it is quite common for people to greet one another with a handshake in the United States, in Tibet, you greet someone by sticking your tongue out at them, and in Belize, you bump fists (Cairns Regional Council, n.d.)

    fig 7.1.4.png

    Figure \(\PageIndex{4}\): What event schema do you perform when riding in an elevator? (credit: “Gideon”/Flickr)

    Because event schemata are automatic, they can be difficult to change. Imagine that you are driving home from work or school. This event schema involves getting in the car, shutting the door, and buckling your seatbelt before putting the key in the ignition. You might perform this script two or three times each day. As you drive home, you hear your phone’s ring tone. Typically, the event schema that occurs when you hear your phone ringing involves locating the phone and answering it or responding to your latest text message. So without thinking, you reach for your phone, which could be in your pocket, in your bag, or on the passenger seat of the car. This powerful event schema is informed by your pattern of behavior and the pleasurable stimulation that a phone call or text message gives your brain. Because it is a schema, it is extremely challenging for us to stop reaching for the phone, even though we know that we endanger our own lives and the lives of others while we do it (Neyfakh, 2013).

    fig 7.1.5.png

    Figure \(\PageIndex{5}\): Texting while driving is dangerous, but it is a difficult event schema for some people to resist.

    Remember the elevator? It feels almost impossible to walk in and not face the door. Our powerful event schema dictates our behavior in the elevator, and it is no different with our phones. Current research suggests that it is the habit, or event schema, of checking our phones in many different situations that makes refraining from checking them while driving especially difficult (Bayer & Campbell, 2012). Because texting and driving has become a dangerous epidemic in recent years, psychologists are looking at ways to help people interrupt the “phone schema” while driving. Event schemata like these are the reason why many habits are difficult to break once they have been acquired. As we continue to examine thinking, keep in mind how powerful the forces of concepts and schemata are to our understanding of the world.

    In this section, you were introduced to cognitive psychology, which is the study of cognition, or the brain’s ability to think, perceive, plan, analyze, and remember. Concepts and their corresponding prototypes help us quickly organize our thinking by creating categories into which we can sort new information. We also develop schemata, which are clusters of related concepts. Some schemata involve routines of thought and behavior, and these help us function properly in various situations without having to “think twice” about them. Schemata show up in social situations and routines of daily behavior.

I have often heard unit tests help programmers build confidence in their software. But is it enough for verifying that software requirements are met? I am losing confidence that software is working just because the unit tests pass.

We have experienced some failures in production deployment due to an untested\unverified execution path. These failures are sometimes quite large, impact business operations and often requires an immediate fix.

The failure is very rarely traced back to a failing unit test. We have large unit test bodies that have reasonable line coverage but almost all of these focus on individual classes and not on their interactions.

Manual testing seems to be ineffective because the software being worked on is typically large with many execution paths and many integration points with other software. It is very painful to manually test all of the functionality and it never seems to flush out all the bugs.

Are we doing unit testing wrong when it seems we still are failing to verify the software correctly before deployment? Or do most shops have another layer of automated testing in addition to unit tests?

  • It is correct that unit tests focus on individual classes. Automatic tests that test different classes and their interactions are called integration tests. Integration tests can be an extra layer of automatic tests. In addition to integration tests, many products are systematically tested by a team of test engineers before shipping. – Giorgio Aug 22 '14 at 18:43
  • "It is very painful to manually test all of the functionality and it never seems to flush out all the bugs.": Do you use well-defined test protocols? Are the test protocols based on the requirements specification? – Giorgio Aug 22 '14 at 18:46
  • @Giorgio We don't have a well defined test protocol. We have a QA department, but they're often too understaffed to properly test all software changes. And sometimes, they know less about our software then the programmers do, which often doesn't lead to very good testing. – Peter Smith Aug 22 '14 at 18:49

    Well, then maybe you need a proper team of test engineers who define test protocols based on the requirements and then execute the tests based on the protocols. Free testing (be creative and imagine what the user might do) can also discover several unexpected bugs. In my 6-year long experience I observed that a proper team of test engineers is very important to ensure good quality. – Giorgio Aug 22 '14 at 18:53
  • When you have bugs, are they due to interactions between objects which weren't caught by unit tests because they were mocked to return what was expected, as opposed to what was actually returned? – Winston Ewert Aug 22 '14 at 19:36

In general no. For toy programs (say solutions to Project Euler problems), sure.

This is before getting into a religious discussion of what are unit tests (if it uses a file system object, is it a unit test? Let the inquisition begin!)

For N-Tier applications, where N > 1, integration tests are needed, and even they may not actually be suitable for requirements verification, as most integration tests are between two tiers, and not normally end-to end testing. Most end-to-end testing (a minimal test for most requirements) is usually done as / in conjunction with system level test.

On a large project I worked on, we had CUT (Code and Unit Test) done by the developer. The build code then went into Integration and Test (I&T), where some minor requirements that could be verified (warning alerts will be displayed in 'FUNKY_RED' in the admin console). When it passed that, it was released to System Level Test (SLT). The 'Requirements Testing' was done in SLT, where they had a mirror of the operational site. Finally, it was deployed and went to Acceptance Test.

Some of this would change, depending on the scale of the project. But in my experience, anything with more than one module/jar/library will not be sufficient with just unit tests.

Add in testing a GUI, and it gets really unlikely that a you can have 100% confidence without live interaction.

EDIT: Looking back, I think that take away is that for complex systems, simple testing (like unit testing) is not going to be sufficient for requirements validation. Complex systems will require complex (sophisticated?) testing to verify.

  • And that's why, in our workplace, we implement SIT (System Integration Test) and UAT (User Acceptance Test). Anything passing unit tests should go through these phases before being deployed in production. More often than not, they come back to the developers with failures during SIT and UAT. – ADTC Aug 23 '14 at 2:43
  • I&T and SLT are done by the same, or other developers or other non-developer staff? Who performs acceptance tests? – Peter Smith Aug 23 '14 at 16:22
  • Depends on the organization. Where I worked, i&t was done by a developer, but not the one who did the change. CUT was done by the assigned developer. SLT was a separate test group, with formal test procedures that mapped to requirements. – Kristian H Aug 23 '14 at 16:41

You have several things to consider:

  1. Requirements must be testable. If they're not testable, then you can't verify them with tests.

  2. Unit tests are not proof of correctness, mainly because they cannot provide 100% code coverage in any practical way.

The first bullet is fairly easy to correct, if difficult to implement in practice: make your requirements testable. The best way to do that is to define an acceptance test at the same time that you write the requirement.

Bullet two just raises the question, "How do I write more reliable software?" That, my friend, is the subject of a lifetime of study.

However, from a testing standpoint, you can improve the situation by adding Integration Tests and System Level Tests. Unit tests, on their own, are often insufficient to completely describe a rigorous test suite. Work with your stakeholders to define and write tests, the scope, cost and benefits of which everyone understands.

  • Yes, it seems the questioner's organisation has fallen into the fallacy that unit tests are the only kind of automated test ("do most shops have another layer of automated testing in addition to unit tests?"). So they've excused themselves from the responsibility to test the requirements of anything other than units. Since most of the requirements are written before the units are even designed, this means they're not testing anything of practical consequence other than regression within a single unit! – Steve Jessop Aug 23 '14 at 1:09

To fully test a system, you would have to put it through every possible series of input conditions, so for any non-toy system, no there's no way any testing system should be expected to catch all errors.

However, this is a case where perfection is the enemy of "good enough". If a testing system reduces the chance of shipping a defective product, or reduces the number of shipped defects, or reduces the amount of time it takes to reasonably test a system before it ships, then it has value.

Simply having "large unit test bodies that have reasonable line coverage" is no guarantee of bug-free code. However, it's probably a lot better than no testing system at all.

Note that unit testing is only one type of software test. It wouldn't hurt to create a few automated integration tests either. Not only that, when I am about to release a new version of software I always manually check that I can do a couple critical functions, just in case.

The phase "unit test" began as a description of testing individual functions and other small bits of code / capabilities. If that is all you are testing--bits of your system, in isolation from one another--it is no wonder that you are losing confidence in your tests to be a fair measure of overall code quality or "does it do what it's supposed to do?"

Very narrow testing helps a little, but just a little. It's great that you aren't getting production failures that trace back to things that have been tested. The problem seems to be the white space in between--the untested execution paths, the combination of elements that happens when all of the parts come together that are not currently tested. Without being too Pollyannaish, there is your problem. Or a good part of it, at any rate.

This is perhaps heresy, but it's worked well for me: Unit tests are no longer about isolated, narrow units. They are a general purpose automated testing facility that can and should test not only individual functions, classes, and objects, but combinations of them, at varying levels of composition.

I may be running PHPUnit or py.test or whatever the local "unit test" framework is, but I eagerly add tests up to and including tests of the entire integrated application or service. I run complex examples of the entire app functionality, and do so not just against simple data cases, but also against some gnarly, ugly, complex edge-cases.

It isn't as easy to test that way. It requires creating some mock objects, and/or building entire virtual machines and populating them with servers, data sets, and other glue logic just to run the tests. It's more work to set up that test scenario, but with virtualization and cloud instances, tools like Fabric and Vagrant make it doable in ways that it just wasn't, five or so years back.

It can even be complicated to determine if a test succeeded or failed. If you're used to testing small functions, it's hard to see why--but start trying to judge whether you've properly manipulated a complex data structure and it becomes more clear. It can be even worse if you're trying to see a particular path through a GUI or web app to ensure it "did what it's supposed to do." But with modern tools, it is possible--and the results are extremely helpful at exercising the whole system.

Testing can never be a proof of correctness under all possible conditions. But exercising your app or service as a whole, with complex and edge/corner case examples designed to stress your logic...first it will show you where a lot of your bugs lie. ("The truth will set you free — but first it will make you miserable.")

But as you fix those and your system is executing hard cases successfully and routinely, then your confidence in its correctness and robustness will grow. As you find new bugs and fix them, you will add tests for them, and other cases like them you hadn't previously considered. On subsequent passes at the testing job, you'll find new things you want to test, or new variants you want to test against. You add them in, and next run, you're testing even more of the total system.

If anyone wants to argue that I'm not really unit testing--that I'm doing some form of integration, module, or system testing--well whatever! I use the same (unit testing) frameworks, test runners, "did it pass?" reporting that I would for testing a 2-line function. If you want to give fancier names for some of the tests, knock yourself out. What I care about is that the tests are automated, that I can run them easily for every software build, and that they test as much of the total functionality as possible.

Long story short, instead of losing faith in testing, double down on it. Do the testing that you need, but aren't currently doing. Test things together, in ever more challenging and complete combinations, against ever more execution environments. You'll be amazed at the bugs that shake out, and at how much you learn about your system interactions as a result. Untimately, you'll be amazed at how you move with confidence from version to version, because your shakedown has been real and systematic.

  • How long does it usually take for you to implement this for a new software system? I understand it could have a lot of value and not necessarily be difficult to maintain for an existing software system with existing integration tests. – Peter Smith Aug 23 '14 at 16:19
  • It depends entirely on how challenging the tests are to construct. The provisioning of new virtual machines/environments has a learning curve associated, but once you've got the scripts/ability to do provisioning, that part is actually very simple. Mechanically determining whether a complex/composite use has done what you want...not always easy. If you want a shortcut, build a few simple and a few edge/corner case tests first. The simple ones prove the test rigs work; the edge cases exercise the app crazy-hard. When you get those working, you gain enormous confidence in the code. – Jonathan Eunice Aug 24 '14 at 23:51
  • Another benefit of testing very high up the food chain: When things break (not if, when) you'll start tracing those failures back and find individual modules (sometimes, groups of modules) that aren't doing what you think they should. I.e. it will identify your quality problem areas. Then you start adding intermediate-level tests there, and running those problems to ground. Do that a few times, and you've adaptively both fixed and qualified the parts of your app/service that needed it most. – Jonathan Eunice Aug 25 '14 at 0:22

Indeed, as you have found, unit tests are frequently inadequate for this.

What you need is integrated testing that will look to test:

  • dependencies
  • interactions
  • different viewing devices / platforms / versions

You may also need to revisit unit tests and review how much sad path (as opposed to happy path) is currently being tested. Developers frequently focus on the happy path but often do not anticipate or take the time to cover complex cases and all the sad paths.

We have large unit test bodies that have reasonable line coverage but almost all of these focus on individual classes and not on their interactions.

In my experience, this is caused by poor class design, and occasionally bad unit test writing.

In an (achievable) ideal world, you unit test class A: it takes the right input and produces the right output. Then you unit test class B: it takes the right input and produces the right output. If the "right" output of class A is fed as the "right" input to class B, then it'll just work.

The only way that things go south is if your class defines some nuanced definition of "right" due to implied coupling either in data or time or sequence or... This is where good class design comes into play. By reducing your coupling and making your "right" input clearer, then there's less chance that people can screw that up.

The other thing that can happen is that your unit tests work with some naive use of "right" that doesn't test boundaries, or actually exercise your code while still getting code coverage. Bad tests will yield bad results - the worst of which will be the passing test that provides no confidence.

Being a member is your way of saying, "I'm all in. You can count on me." It's also the best way to tell Sojourn's pastors, "I want your prayers, your council, your teaching, and your godly examples."

If a church requires nothing of you as a member, and commits nothing to you as a church, it is practicing meaningless membership. Membership at Sojourn is a commitment to our family, and a commitment from our family and pastors to you.

Membership at Sojourn is a three step process:

Step 1: Membership Class

The first step to becoming a member at Sojourn, or simply learning more about what we believe, is to attend one of our membership classes.

  • Our next membership class is scheduled for April 14 at Westgate Memorial Baptist Church.

  • We will gather together on Sunday afternoon immediately following the service. The class typically lasts about 3 hours.

  • You can register for our next Membership Class at the bottom of this page.

Step 2: Membership Interview

Following membership class, you will be invited to meet with a Sojourn leader for a Membership Interview. Don't be intimidated; this is simply a time for us to get to know you and your story a little better. It also provides you a chance to ask us any questions you may have about Sojourn.

Step 3: Finalizing Membership & Next Steps

Your membership interviewer will help you take any next steps needed to finalize your membership. For you, this may mean signing your membership covenant and helping you take a next step in serving, community, and giving. For others, it may be walking with you  through any additional requirements for membership, such as baptism.
