Image Gamepocketcomputer.JPG right 200px thumb Game Pocket Computer The Epoch Game Pocket Computer is a handheld game console released by Epoch company Epoch in Japan in 1984. It was one of the very few truly handheld systems to be released in the early 1980s, preceding the Game Boy by 5 years. The Game Pocket Computer used an LCD screen with a 75 64 resolution, and could produce graphics at about the same level as early Atari 2600 games. The system was a failure in Japan, and as a result, only 5 games were made for it. A puzzle game and a paint program were built into the system. It was powered by 4 AA batteries , and screen s brightness could be adjusted by the user. Possibly due to its failure in Japan, the Game Pocket Computer was never released in North America . The unit is extremely rare, and units on eBay can go for hundreds of dollars, when and if they turn up.

Refimprove auto yes date December 2009 In engineering , defect tracking is the process of finding defects in a product by inspection, Quality control testing , or recording feedback from customers , and making new versions of the product that fix the defects. Defect tracking is important in software engineering as complex software systems typically have tens or hundreds or thousands of defects managing, evaluating and prioritizing these defects is a difficult task defect tracking systems are computer database systems that store defects and help people to manage them. Defect prevention The objective of defect prevention is to identify the defects and take corrective action to ensure they are not repeated over subsequent iterative cycles. Defect prevention can be implemented by preparing an action plan to minimize or eliminate defects, generating defect metrics, defining corrective action and producing an analysis of the root causes of the defects. Defect prevention can be accomplished by actioning the following steps Calculate defect data with periodic reviews using test logs from the execution phase this data should be used to segregate and classify defects by root causes. This produces defect metrics highlighting the most prolific problem areas Identify improvement strategies Escalate issues to senior management or customer where necessary Draw up an action plan to address outstanding defects and improve development process.This should be reviewed regularly for effectiveness and modified should it prove to be ineffective. Undertake periodic peer reviews to verify that the action plans are being adhered to Produce regular reports on defects by age.
