Germany vs India (a skewed view)

Having spent 4 years in Germany I thought of jotting down some of the differences I have seen in Germany and India - 



  • You don't owe an explanation to any one in Germany, but in India - Why are you not married, if Married, then why you don't have kids, if you have kids then when are they getting married etc etc

    •
  • In India, one does not need an appointment to have dinner with one's parents

    •
  • Everybody known everybody in India and here in Germany I don't know my neighbours. I am sure they also don't know each other personally :)

    •
  • Germany is a punctual country and I admire that

    •
  • No loud speaker chanting about god(s) in Germany. What a piece of mind

    •
  • Unlike India, not every one wants to be an IT Engineer in Germany

    •
  • Sports are valued as much as education in Germany

    •
  • German politicians don't shout at each other in parliament, at least this is what I have seen on Tagesschau

    •
  • Red means you stop at traffic signal in Germany. Simple, is not it?

    •
  • There is hardly ever any news about India in Germany and about Germany in India

    •
  • You can call Cops in Germany if your neighbour did not clean his/her dog's sh**

    •
  • There is nothing for which you can not get an insurance in Germany

    •
  • You can call any one Hitler jokingly in India, good luck with such joke in Germany

    •
  • I have been told Berlin is not Germany and Bangalore is not India though I would like to believe that rest of Germany is like Berlin and rest of India is like Bangalore

    • These were some of my experiences. Do you also have something (funny) to share about a country you are in vs India?

    Distributed Load Testing with JMeter

    Distributed Testing with JMeter When one JMeter client is not able to offer amount of threads required for load testing then distributed testing is used. In distributed testing - One instance of JMeter client can control number of JMeter instances and collect data from them Test plan does not need to be copied to each server, the client sends it to all servers note - JMeter will run all the threads on all the servers, hence 100 threads on 5 JMeter server would pump 500 threads in total. If many server instances are used, the client JMeter can become overloaded and so the client network connection. This has been improved in latest versions of JMeter by switching to Stripped modes, but you should always check that your client is not overloaded When Client (master) and Server (slave) nodes are on same network (no SSH required) Configure Client Node Herein client is referred as the machine controlling test execution on other JMeter nodes. This is also referred

    Verify email confirmation using Selenium

    Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     Email confirmation seems to be integral part of any registration process. I came across an application which lets you provide your email address. You can follow the sign up link in you mail and then complete the registration process. Lets consider we provide GMail address for it. Now if were to use only Selenium then we would have to follow following steps - Launch GMail using Selenium; Some how search for new mail in the list of available mails; Some how click on it; Parse the mail message; Get the registration link; Follow up with registration process What do you think of an approach in which you can
