Vid utveckling av stora applikationer använder sig många företag av tekniker så som testdriven utveckling för att skapa en stor samling av test som de sedan kan använda sig av för att validera skriven kod. Detta har blivit standarden på många arbetsplatser. Problem uppstår när en applikation redan är utvecklad och test ej har skrivits under utvecklingens gång. Detta gör det näst intill omöjligt atWhen developing a large application, many companies use techniques such as Test Driven Development in order to get a range of tests on which they later can validate their code with. This has become the standard in many work environments. Problems arise when an application is already developed and tests has not been written in the course of the development. This makes it near impossible to validate

Kan outnyttjade jordburksrester öka produktionen av hållbara fordonsbränslen? Halmstrå utgör en outnyttjad potential till ökad biogasproduktion, vilket kan användas som fordonsbränsle efter uppgradering till 97% metan. Under detta arbete utfördes ekonomiska utvärderingar på storskalig biometan produktion från halmstrå och/eller avloppsslam. Biogas bildas vid nedbrytning av organiskt material undAn increased production of fuels derived from renewable resources is required to obtain a sustainable energy production without greenhouse gas emissions. Biogas is regarded as a renewable energy source which can be used for heat, electricity, and fuel production. However, a purity of 97% methane is required if the produced biogas is to be injected to the natural-gas grid and used as vehicle fuel.
